Heeerrreee's Russ! What's up Doc? If you've been sleeping on seeing the sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep, then you need to wake up. I haven't read Doctor Sleep yet, but did just finish reading The Shining, and I feel like King's and Kubrick's visions were blended together wonderfully in this new movie. The acting shined brightly all around, effects and makeup were great, and set design was amazing! This movie deserves to gain 'steam' at the box office. So much more I'd love to talk about, but I don't want to spoil anything. Speaking of spoiling, does anyone else smell rotting meat?

"This came in the wake of Remain In Light as a side project. I'd seen Talking Heads at Eric's, which was my world back then. Although slightly older people said it was like Can and introducing sound collages, I didn't think Can were that funky, but this is. It was quite an amazing album really, and freaked everybody out when it was released. 'The Jezebel Spirit' and 'America Is Waiting', I guess, were the standout tracks that I got, but the end track ['Mountain Of Needles'] as well, which had slowed-down sounds and voices. I thought it was brilliant."

"I never took any film classes back in college, but these are two that I saw by sneaking into different post-lecture screenings. A fascination with the power of the missing person has stayed with me. The dizzying number of overlapping layers—worlds, eras, sympathies, and attachments—has kept Rebecca one of my all time favorites. Joan Fontaine’s nameless character can seem pathetic at times—overwhelmed by an insane situation in her austere, claustrophobic, itchy wool outfits. But she can also feel as powerful as a five-alarm wake-up call from the present tense. (Yikes, especially if the present tense is 1940.)"
