Watched The Village (2004) by an author from letterboxd.com
When a willful young man tries to venture beyond his sequestered Pennsylvania hamlet, his actions set off a chain of chilling incidents that will alter the community forever.

I always liked this film. I never really got why it was scorned. There are also some excellent moments of film making here, which could seem strangely earnest, given the genre, but that shouldn’t diminish them.

The overall plot you could dismiss as being “a bit daft” but it doesn’t even trouble my sense of disbelief. It’s a great tale too.

★★★★

My review

Watched The Evil Dead (1981) by an author from letterboxd.com
When a group of college students finds a mysterious book and recording in the old wilderness cabin they've rented for the weekend, they unwittingly unleash a demonic force from the surrounding forest.

That was something else. Obviously I’ve heard a lot about this film over years but not sure I’ve heard many praise the sound work, which is amazing.

★★★★

My review

To paraphrase Martin Udall (As Good As It Gets 1997):

People who use line breaks to vertically space text oughta shampoo my crotch.

While I did still visit Twitter a couple of times to day, I notice the only people really tweeting are those with like 5k+ followers who don’t even need Twitter Blue to reach their audience, because they’re audience will find them. But, thinking about it, it’s been that way for a while anyway. The little people have all gone.
