Moïra Fowley - "Eyes guts throat bones"

Amazing short stories.  Weird ones, supernatural, magic realism.  I should keep an eye out for more books by her.

So many amazing bits here. "Playing house" is amazing. All of them are.

"Saying its name breaks it" reminded me a lot of that Dutch story about the school and being snowed in and the outside world is gone (or is it)... and *that* in turn reminded me of that amazing book where the world is slowly freezing over.

"Rath" reminded me of that wonderful "Troll Bridge" story by Neil Gaiman, when his writing was still captivating me.

I had a friend who was a mirror. Hold a candle up to her and you'd see the light reflected. Tall and white and straight. I had a friend who was a candle, started tall and ended up a wax splat on the floor, spent. I had a friend when the power went and because she was lit we didn't need a torch.

Crimes of the Future

Classic Cronenberg stuff.  Body horror with Viggo Mortenson, where people don't feel pain anymore, develop new organs, lots of body art / surgery art performances.

X

horror in the old fashioned style, of five young people wanting to make porn / art video at a remote farm, where the farmer, and particularly his wife, go crazy.

Beef

Bit of a slow burn, but interesting enough as the feud between two people in their cars explodes into so much more. 

The end is almost surreal, more interesting than I would have guessed.

Close to the Sun

Have to reply a fair bit, not sure this walking simulator/horror game is for me.

Just a bit too cliche in story, just a bit too dependent on style, just a bit too shallow in acting; first time main character stumbles upon corpes; oh my god!!

two minutes later... not a word.

Children of Men (2006)

Bloody hell, thought it was from 2008

Bloodier hell, it's grimmer than I realise! Good humour too...

Good luck to you, Leo Grande

Fantastic film with Emmy Thompson and Daryl McCormack. The way they get through her stigma's, and his troubles...

Three Thousand Years of Longing

Amazing fairytale / true story with Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba.

Is she imagining?

Maybe, I do not care. Amazing.
