So I saw Alien: Covenant last night.  I love the poster. 

A few years on and it hit me like a sack of bricks while I was driving: Curse of Chucky is a shockingly satisfying movie, especially considering it is the sixth entry in a horror series!  Fiona Dourif was great!  Great!  I look forward to Cult of Chucky out later this year and it is currently the only thing I have to stay my hand after Twin Peaks concludes at the end of summer.  We’ll see if it is strong enough.    

The super card of honor.  Eleven.  I would have shown up at 5 PM Eastern.  But would I have left promptly at 6:30 PM (also Eastern?).  That is the interesting question (only to me).  Truly, only the Underground is getting it right as far as that goes.  I’m of course only referring to the continental U.S.  It was quite good.  Quite quite good.  I would have stayed an eternity for merch, photographs and felt tip pens.  As we traverse further down these dreams I catch them at just the right moment.  Afterward.  From one identity to another.  Don’t (talking to myself) use a word that’s like “change”.  After the work, after the job.  Perfume.  Going to simply toss.  I make an offer.  No object.  Breathe it in.  deep.  

Director James Wan has released a couple pictures of Amber Heard as Mera from his upcoming Aquaman movie and all I can say is humina humina humina!  Joy! 

Tom Hardy is playing Venom in a Venom solo movie!  That is weird!  Good casting though!  Gimme a nice mean beefy Venom!  Can’t be any worse than Spider-Man 3!  Actually, yeah it can because both Amazing Spider-Man movies were worse and it is Sony at the helm again!  I hope we get a lot of references to Todd McFarlane’s classic art and another bizarre voice from Hardy! 

Too much thinking of Kong lately.  And I’m not talking about the cinema icon.  And there’s The Little Star, returning to haunt my dreams again.  The most pretty.  Also, the most….   

And just like that.  After seeing a quickly made, colorful and gaudy poster I realize I’m living in the wrong place. What a fool I am.  What I’ve always been.  What a fool I’ll always be.

Yes, we are finally seeing remastered blu ray releases of Suspiria and Don’t Torture a Duckling!  Thank You!!!  Thank You so much!!! 

The violent seizure of someone’s property is my bold new obsession!  Don’t forget the accent over the n.  Blue or black.  And Dern.  Dern is also part and parcel of this boldness and newness.  The pages were tall.  Oh, the UK and its crazy tall periodicals. 

I think O is the answer.  Avid followers of my worthless work will know exactly what that means.  O is the example I need to follow for everything else.  For the real Jackal.  For my Rhapsody in Blue.  Heaven scent.  O is the proof positive of everything.  but is it really O or a doppelganger from an alternate dimension?  Would that make a difference? Or would that be preferable?  

Twin Peaks starts up again this Sunday.  I’ve been slowly but surely going through the old series, this time with a drinking buddy.  I’ve discovered nuance I missed in my initial viewings.  I am reassessing and reevaluating.  I’m drinking a lot of coffee and eating a lot of pie.  I am saddened that Lynch said he will likely never make another movie.  Since his last flick – Inland Empire – came out in 2006 I am inclined to believe him.  Yet I am grateful for what is to come and filled with girlish glee over this upcoming 18-episode saga.  

Forced kissing.  Green.  Escape.  The last one won’t make much sense after a while.  

Rabbit sitcoms.  I guess I need to look within.  It is something very easy to admire but not easy to like or love.  And good heavens, is it ever ugly!  But is there a kind of rough beauty in the ugliness?  I think so.  If I want shock value I guess I better look in the mirror.  We’re all just whores dying in the street.  Brutal fucking murder!  The hour of the wolf is nigh.  I am filled with curiosity.  Experiment is the proper word.  The end result is endlessly fascinating.  If only I could get my hands on those polish tunes.  Get it in wax!  It is certainly a bizarre denouement.  Of course, I say to myself as my head goes light, how utterly proper.  

I really like that Bowie b-side Holy Holy. Is it a b-side?  Whatever, I like it.  Rapine, just in case I forget.  Won’t forget the accent though. 

Sofia Rei’s album De Tierra Y Oro is so gorgeous and necessary right now.  She has a new album out, a tribute to Violeta Parra.  I need to purchase this immediately! And Café Tacuba’s new album!  There! I just ordered the new Café Tacuba album!  Rei is next on my list! And Shakira’s new album comes out in a week!  And she just released that song “Nada”!  Damn, that is a beautiful song!  Classic Shakira!  Gave me all the right feels!  Or did it?  Lots of sunny and lovely Latin tunes for yours falsely as of late! 

Maybe I need to do TM.  Is that a viable option?  Would it be a helpful option?  Would I be able to catch bigger fish if I started? I have a thousand dollars lying around.  I should purchase a word.  Or should I begin an epic journey into Ju-Jitsu?!  I would probably fail at both avenues.  

So the trailer for the new Star Trek show Star Trek Discovery premiered yesterday and everyone got their knickers in a twist about it!  Or did they?!  Honestly, it’s hard for me to gauge popular reaction sometimes.  Partly because I’m a miserable worthless failure but also partly because I’m not very intelligent or perceptive.  But what is my reaction?  That is the big question that literally no one is asking.  Immediately, I am excited simply at the prospect of having a new Star Trek show after what feels like an eternity since those dark days of Star Nemesis and then Enterprise fading way (though I actually adored that Troi was unexpectedly in the final episode as I’ve long considered Deanna Troi to be one of the great loves of my life).  I am immediately chagrinned it is another prequel series, seemingly taking place after Enterprise and before the original series.  Did we need another prequel series?!  I only hope and pray it does not have the same feel as the newer Abram Star Trek movies as I have slowly begun to despise those.  Woe is me.  But overall, I’m damn excited!  How could not I be?!  I’m always excited for any new iteration of Trek and the trailer had all kinds of good glossy shiny slickness!  And Klingons (though I’m not crazy about their design)!  And Michelle Yeoh!  She’s awesome!  I will try to remain Roddenberryish optimistic and go in with an open heart and mind!

I actually liked the Black Lightning trailer better!  Looks like that’s another damn series I’ll have to watch!

Finally. Sadly.  I saw you several years ago at Red Rocks in Colarado. Soundgarden and Nine Inch Nails.  That is a good memory.  Great show.  I saw you last year by yourself in a little theatre across from an Italian bistro.  Lovely show.  Soundgarden.  Temple of the Dog.  Audioslave.  Solo albums.  Everything in between.  Thanks for all the music, concerts and memories.  RIP Chris Cornell.
