Watched del Toro's "Frankenstein" the other night. Thoroughly enjoyed it but what struck me was the insect-like costuming (on Mia Goth) and similar coloration on the Monster's patches (and sometimes on the clothing, in reflections). Obviously deliberate.

Before Halloween watched "The Vampire Lovers", a kitschy-cheesy Hammer film from 1970.

Just finished watching "New Rose Hotel", a 1998 film based on William Gibson's short story with Christopher Walken and Willem Dafoe.

The Hammer film hands-down wipes the floor with NRH.

Tonight's Halloween-themed movie: "The Sentinel". Been wanting to watch it since I got Dick Smith's fake blood recipe.

Surprisingly good movie. And surprising before-they-were-big cast including Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum and Star Trek DS9's Nana Visitor.

Watching the 2nd season of "The Sandman" and hearing about Bernie Capax for the first time. Now wondering about the other 59, but finding very little about them.

The medical pod jettisoned clear of the drop ship, settled gently at the crash site, and unfolded like an oversized origami blossom crafted from white leather.

Med One exited smartly but with perhaps a bit too much verve. Air Force 1's occupants were clearly toast.

Attended the LA Philharmonic today and really enjoyed the new piece by Ellen Reid - www.laphil.com/musicdb/arti... - with whom I was unfamiliar.

Highly recommend that anyone in the LA area interested in complex, experimental soundscapes try to get to a concert ( @androidlust.com ).

Haven't flown in a couple years.

Got on my flight this morning and took my seat early. People start settling in and a flight attendant gets on the intercom and says, "Is [insert Latina name here] on board. You're not in trouble."

Nervous laughter all around.

Tarmac didn't feel like a criminal. Why should he?

"Quantum potential is non-local. How can it be a crime to transport energy across a border when that energy is borderless?" he asked.

The judge answered, "Because the information potential was copyrighted. Next!"
