Thinking I might turn the clocks back now

[CJohn]

I am 2 episodes into Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events and this has been a nice surprise so far.

Catching up with Guadagnino's earlier stuff. It'd be incredibly easy to tell that the same person directed I Am Love, A Bigger Splash and CMBYN but the first two don't have the emotional foundation and the focus of the third, and so end up feeling a lot more disposable. Hope he's actually found his groove and CMBYN isn't just gonna be a happy accident. Although I have to admit Ralph Fiennes dancing to Emotional Rescue for two minutes does justify an entire movie no matter what else happens in it.

That strikes me as very Ethan somehow actually.

I feel like Ethan’s turning into our own low-grade version of The Most Interesting Man in the World.

The original guy or the crappy version they're now using?

It is. The only thing missing is him going with one of his ex's.

Given his age, the young guy. Except an even younger one with a peach fuzz beard.

I just heard a Christmas song on the radio on my way home. I've never heard of a Halloween party in November though. I suppose there's always a first for everything though.

It's been time to stop for years now. People are way too prepared for Christmas these days. 

[Webslinger]

Surviving Christmas and its October 22 release date taught us all that late October is the perfect time to start doing all the Christmas stuff. 

 

And while we're on the topic of 2004 media, one of my friends just posted on Facebook that because the Wayans Brothers made White Chicks and no one cared, blackface should always be okay too. And this, ladies and gents, is why we can't have nice things.
