I've got a whole list of films that I thought were very good and culturally important because they were slightly cheaper to rent from Ritz Video than actually good films. There's D.A.R.Y.L., for example, which I saw long before I saw E.T., and watched many more times.

Films Mum rented from Ritz Video in Bridgwater
Films my mum rented from Ritz Video (Parkway Video) between about 1986 and 1992, sometimes for her, sometimes for me and my brother.

people of a certain age: what unremarkable film did you have a weird attachment to as a kid because your family randomly owned it on VHS? (or had recorded it off the telly!)
Mine was Jumpin' Jack Flash. I remember very little about it now. Did she wear a spangly dress at some point??

My other favourite AI spam shite from this morning was the email pretending to be from a reader, which picked out three lines that 'really stuck with me'.
Each line was from the synopsis on the back of the book.

It's been nine years since I had my troublesome gallbladder removed. There aren't many people I'd wish gallstone pain on (but there are a few!)

Oh no, Catherine O'Hara! A comedy genius who has just been there in everything since I was a kid... is no longer here. What a remarkable career she had.

This reminded me I haven't read enough Jen Williams! Just went and requested all her books I haven't read from my library.
I am so pleased to reveal the US cover of THE DREAMLESS 😍 Of course the god of tricks and mischief deserves to have his moment in the spotlight.... 😌 the jacket design is by Kerri Resnick and the illustration design is by Tom Roberts - I love it!!

Ooo this looks great
If you're in the UK, Rabbit Trap hits theaters this Friday, January 30. Recommended if you're interested in folk horror, the fae, hauntology, and things of that nature. A totally trippy time, starring Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen. Here's the trailer:

A few years ago I randomly watched a series on Netflix because it looked faintly ridiculous & reminded me of Ultimate Beastmaster. Today we watched two Korean athletes travel to Mongolia to hang out with other athletes and I wept like a child. Bless Physical 100/Physical Asia
