Brave (2012), not the usual princess fantasy
(Bloggers often assume their readers are interested in why they posted in a while. I have no such illusions.And even if I did feel the need, there really isn't any good explanation. So, onto Brave.)
My granddaughter and I have been watching tons of kids movies (I think I will wait another year before introducing her to Let the Right One In). Often, they are painful to watch: So full of confusing plots, dialogue mostly consisting of sounds of surprise, and saccharine musical numbers that I find myself praying for the commercial breaks.
The musical numbers are the worst part.
Despite my lifelong hatred of Disney, (as a child, my parents dragged me to every Disney film that played in our local theater. When I say every, I mean not just the ones in the recognized canon, I am also talking about the nature flicks. Disney nature films never vary-cute, playful animals struggling in a literal fight for their lives against human oppressors, who relentlessly hunt, poison, tortured, etc. them. Fuck you, Walt Disney, for ruining my childhood).

Portos dos Mortos II
Earlier today I posted this.
A few hours ago, I received this via Facebook:
Hi!
My name is Isidoro B. Guggiana, producer of "Beyond the Grave". I saw the post on your blog. Are you interested in an English subtitled screener?
Holy Shnikes!

Portos dos Mortos (Beyond the Grave)-please help me find this movie!
I read about this here and have not been able to find anything about getting a copy of this DVD for myself.

A Confession-You don't have to say you love me
I am going to share something that is really personal with my (subscribed) readers, I don't want this to appear on my facebook page because I have to associate with those people in real life and I don't want them to know.
All my life, at least since I discovered EA Poe (in second grade!), I have wanted to be a writer; the kind of writer whose words on paper will make the reader's blood run cold in terror. I started a new blog for that kind of content. There will be no witty, carefully structured commentary on popular culture or delightful anecdotes about my personal growth as I strive towards acceptance of my new life as a professional invalid.
I am calling that blog Samples, although I don't know why. I hope that some of you will take a peek at it, although there isn't much there right now. Here and here are a couple of things I would love to share, they have plenty of warts and I am betting your thoughts would be very constructive.
Until then, this has been stuck in my head since last Thursday's 30 Rock.
