Detectorists

A favorite show of ours...
That fictional Paranormal Ghost-Hunting show I mentioned earlier...  it should be similar to this.

Paranormal TV

I propose a new fictional tv series with a paranormal team investigating hauntings in their town.  Subtle and creepy, with very little captured evidence.  With interesting scripts/stories, and likeable NORMAL/AVERAGE characters/actors, not young models.  And it all builds up to a final episode that's truly terrifying.  And classy.  (And only six or eight episodes.)

A long time ago I think I recall reading that Joss Whedon was going to do a small England-based followup to Buffy the Vampire Slayer that dealt with a small team of paranormal investigators, led by the guy who played Rupert Giles.  I think that would have been cool.

Rambling here, but I needed to push that horrid Disney bear face down a few inches.

My proposed show would absolutely have nothing like this.

How can this be a real Disney Character? 
How?

Slenderman

BEWARE THE SLENDERMAN tells the story of the internet’s elusive Boogeyman and two 12-year-old girls who would kill for him. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier lured their best friend into the woods, stabbed her 19 times, then set out on an odyssey to meet the tall and faceless man known online as Slenderman. Shot over 18 months with heartbreaking access to the families of the would-be murderers, the film plunges deep down the rabbit hole of their crime, a Boogeyman and our society’s most impressionable consumers of media. The entrance to the internet can quickly lead us to its dark basement, within just a matter of clicks. How much do we hold children responsible for what they find there?

Four Days In Dixie

When night had fallen I cautiously left my place of concealment, dodged across the road into the woods and made for the river through the mile of corn. Such corn! It towered above me like a forest, shutting out all the starlight except what came from directly overhead. Many of the ears were a yard out of reach. One who has never seen an Alabama river-bottom cornfield has not exhausted nature’s surprises; nor will he know what solitude is until he explores one in a moonless night.

Rainy Halloween

Love seeing photos where the rain had no effect on the celebration of the High Holiday.

And Finally...

Apparently, March 1st turned out to be Space Jockey Day.


From rifters.com:
Back in 1979’s Alien, Lambert, Kane, and Dallas passed through a big spooky chamber— the Devil’s own rib cage —  en route to cinematic immortality.  The fossilized remains of an alien creature rested at its center like a great stone heart, embedded in organic machinery: mysterious, vaguely pachydermal, lonely somehow. We never learned what that creature was, where it came from, how it ended up fused to the bottom end of an alien telescope with its ribs shattered. We didn’t have to. The mystery was what gripped us: this evidence of things beyond the firelight we couldn’t see and, oh please God, might never see: because the infinitesimal sliver of the Unknown that did leak into view was enough to make us crap our pants before it ripped us limb from limb.


Thirty-three years later, Ridley Scott shone a light into the darkness. He peeled away that skeletal shroud and showed us what lurked underneath: just a regular dude with big muscles and albinism, as it turned out. Mr. Clean without the earring.  And with that one reveal, Scott took all that was mysterious and compelling and fearful about the monster under the bed, and reduced it to utter banality.

Selective Memory

I officially reject Prometheus as a bad dream.  And the Engineers, if they exist at all, were simply mimicking an alien life form's organic style.  Because they thought it was cool.

Lies. All Lies.

Below...  my current wallpaper on my work computer.  A coworker saw it yesterday and said, excitedly, "That's from Prometheus!"
You can imagine how irritated and irritating I must have sounded as I informed him that this was, in fact, from 1979's ALIEN and that it was, in fact, not a blue humanoid Engineer in a spacesuit, but, rather, the most significant film prop in our lifetime.  And clearly an alien life form due to the size differential and strange proportions.


I blame Ridley Scott for this mess.


And now he's messing with the Blade Runner sequel.
