18 November: Just a Gigolo Joe
I am. I was! I love that line from Joe.Joe is a pleasure model.Yeah, it is what you think.He is quite corny and quirky, but likable in a way. Maybe because Jude Law played him? Can’t say for sure.Anyway, Joe’s initial scene places him in a room where he attempts to bring, er, comfort to […]

Visiting the page above, you’ll see a clip from the film where David, Dr. Hobby’s greatest and most tragic creation, is abandoned by his ‘mommy’. It […]

15 November: Artificial Intelligence, and Then Some
I think I’ve ranted about AI: Artificial Intelligence before. The film, released in 2001, was based on a short story titled Supertoys Last All Summer Long by Brian Aldiss. Rush to the internet and read it. Immediately. Anyway, I watched the movie again last night. I realized there is quite a bit to take apart […]

13 November: The Trees Speak for Themselves
I spoke to the young man and his dad as they raked leaves into a multicolored pile on their corner lawn property. I thanked them for pointing me to the nearly invisible path that led into a dark patch of forest. I had a meeting to get to. Somewhere in there. The darkness deepened into […]

8 November: A Dream in a Dream
I looked at my legs, amazed that so many moles would have developed overnight. I touched a few, gently, rubbing my fingers across the rough surface of first one and then another. I blinked and in the span of time that my eyes closed and opened again, the moles had multiplied until they covered nearly […]

7 November: Idris Elba and Lauryn Hill in a Dream …
Idris was the bad guy and Lauryn, his wife, didn’t know it. I wanted to scream at the screen, but I couldn’t because it was a dream. Before the really horrid stuff happened, I woke up. I almost almost wanted to see how it all turned out …

I watched the movie, ‘The Monster Club’, maybe two weeks ago.[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAxVPuChpDU%5B/embedyt%5DYeah. That first song … it’s been in my head since. Welcome to the Monster Club … the Monster Club, baby! The last story about the Hum-goo has been on my mind as well.This week particularly, I need my own village. A place where […]

5 November: Dreams …
The rock was heavy but not: it had a hole in it.In the hole were two small scorpions, pinkish-gray. They were sleeping.I carried the rock around the house and showed the scorpions to the dogs. They were not impressed.The scorpions woke up and the war began — I flung the rock and flapped my hand […]
