Apparently I somehow went to bed without noticing poke-y metal objects in the pockets of my pajama pants and they were hiding under the covers all day. Yeesh!
At the stage of "where are my keys?" where I open the refrigerator door, just in case I set them down while getting a bottle of water last night.

And, honestly, if you've never seen the original (or can't remember it). It tells you all you need to know.
if you liked Influencer (like I did) then you will definitely like the sequel. (hits Shudder next month.)

Honestly, not nearly as unconventional as one would hope a Nic Cage horror gospel film to be.

The Sky Club is generally great but there's always that one guy loudly Doing A Business into his earbuds. Shut the hell up, dude, if you were someone you'd be in the private jet area.

I joked last week about the holiday comedies hitting theaters in early November so they'd be on VOD by Christmas, but it just occurred to me that this might be why THE CARPENTER'S SON came out today.

And, you know, I can't wait to hear about people renting it just on the title and Nicholas Cage.

I do enjoy these first couple of weeks of November, when stores have peanut butter cups with Halloween packaging for 50% off *and* egg nog to wash them down.

Innnnnnteresting. Woo talked about wanting to do other genres at the Fantasia visit mentioned in the article - like every filmmaker who hasn't done them, he'd like to do a Western and a musical - but this wasn't among them.

Wha...?

That said, I think I could easily talk myself into not waiting 10+ years to reboot it if Johnson figures he's got a fun premise and he'd like to do variations on a theme. Why not? No law that says TV needs ironclad year-to-year continuity!
