Now on Netflix. Godard would hate this.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ robots behaviors should not be ignored. Hence AI! A profound collection of short stories that are timeless and timely. A variable of dilemmas that ultimately become something quite terrifying. A thought provoking read of explosive ideas.

#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

I was a late bloomer for horror. I didn't watch much until college.

Saw was the movie that got me into the genre. It's not as graphic as people remember/assume, and the mystery is well done.

John Carpenter's The Thing is peak, edge-of-your-seat, sci-fi chills (and a legendary Drew Struzan poster)

The Descent is creepy and claustrophobic, with a strong female cast that smashes the Bechdel test.

JenniferEgnor The Descent is one of my favorites! 1mo
Prairiegirl_reading I‘m so claustrophobic The Descent scared me so much I had to leave the room before it even gets to the scary stuff! I‘m such a chicken! 1mo
TieDyeDude @jenniferEgnor @prairiegirl_reading I am not claustrophobic, but The Descent makes a strong case for being so! 1mo
dabbe You're a late bloomer? I'm still blooming! I have never seen SAW, but based on what you wrote, perhaps I could handle it! Fab choices. Thanks for sharing. 📽️🖤🍿 1mo

“Don‘t feed the plants.” I had a blast watching my local high school‘s production of Little Shop of Horrors today.

Reggie Very cool. We have the slot machine of LSOH and I get to hear that song everyday. 1mo

Random book from our personal library.

Bergman is my favorite film director. I discovered his work in 2009 when I finally borrowed The Seventh Seal from the library where I work. My reaction to that first exposure: 'WHAT IS THIS?' I've now seen about 40 of his films, collected more than 10 related books, and The Seventh Seal is one of my top 10 favorite films.

Bookwomble I love The Seventh Seal, though I don't have your dedication to Bergman's other films - that's impressive! 😀 One of my favourite singers, Scott Walker, did a fantastic tribute to Bergman's film on the opening track of his album, Scott 4. If you have time to listen, here's a link: https://youtu.be/jMUk1R_fKEA?si=HIXDWybTz7F_FrK7 If you enjoy it, I'd recommend the whole album 😊 2mo
bibliothecarivs @Bookwomble, thanks for the tip! 2mo
bibliothecarivs @Bookwomble, before this, the only Bergman-related music that I knew of was Sparks's album The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman: https://youtu.be/xT46rlqCBW8. 2mo

ImperfectCJ This has been a favorite of mine for ages! I put it on when I need to cry. It's funny how the actors seem younger and younger every time I watch it (as I age into their characters' ages). 2mo

Jumpers (Rev) | Tom Stoppard

Today is not only the anniversary of a horrible day in US history, it‘s also my mother‘s birthday. We lost her several years ago, and Litsy was wonderfully supportive at the time. @Chrissyreadit suggested that I share something special about her, so here goes.

I still think of her often and the influence she had on my life. When I was in high school, she thought it was important that I have some “culture” in my life, so she bought us ⬇️

Susanita …subscriptions to Arena Stage. It was a stretch of the budget, but she thought it was important so she made it work. They were fun mom-daughter dates. I did not, however, see the Tom Stoppard play. It was probably a bit much for me, so my sister went with her that day. 2mo

It‘s here!! National Book Awards longlist week!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Today‘s lists are translated lit and young people‘s lit (you‘ll have to go their website for the latter, which I don‘t follow). I‘ve actually read 2 of these, the Kang and Hunchback, and the Balle and Barrera don‘t release until November, which is always frustrating. I am loving the cover of Sleep Phase and We Computers only has 3 ratings on Goodreads, so I love seeing it elevated here.

squirrelbrain Exciting! I‘ve only read the Kang. I thought I owned Perfection, but apparently not! 🤷‍♀️ Going out for a walk this morning before the weather turns to s*** for a couple of days 😬 so I‘ll have lots of van-time to explore the list later! 😜 2mo
BarbaraBB Exciting! I read Perfection, Hunchback and On the Calculation of Volume III and have We do not Part and The Remembered Soldier on my shelves! I loved the ones I read and the Dutch author is very good so I have high hopes for her book! (edited) 2mo
Hooked_on_books @BarbaraBB That‘s good to hear about the Dutch author! In past years, I‘ve often found this to be the most interesting of the lists, with books that I would not have found otherwise on it. 2mo
