Michelle Garza Cervera does what she can to add style to the substance-free reimagining of THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE. Mary Elizabeth Winstead facing down Maika Monroe should have more sizzle.

Polly played by Maika Monroe stand next to Caitlin played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead over a baby’s cradle.

Entrancing episode. Almost makes me want to watch and wonder at the misshapen beast.

Favourite line: You can see why he was cast as Gilderoy Lockhart.

A harrowing work of art, but one that inspires empathy on a level beyond watching the young men and the country suffer. The Long Walk is bound for immediate status as a classic of the dystopian genre.

Tina Romero is epic fun. So is her film QUEENS OF THE DEAD. Here is a photo of Katy O’Brian and Jack Haven as Dre and Kelsey.

My nervous friend… people are far too invested in their own opinions that they’ll really not be concerned with yours. (Presuming sanity).

Have a funny picture of a cake.

“I grew up listening to a lot of rap and a lot of Jay-Z. So, all of my favourite songs are usually about a drug dealer with a gun who did what he did to survive. My boyfriend grew up listening to a lot of Björk and, like, Joanna Newsom. So, all of his favourite songs are about a sparrow getting an abortion.” — Jerrod Charmichael

I haven’t played the game and I’m not sure I’d do that to myself. I’m afraid of this escalator in Melbourne.

Reviewed out of @fantasiafestival.com is Becca Kozak’s SUGAR ROT. Which tries so very hard to provoke disgust or to provoke in general. But the provocation falls flat because it’s so profoundly meaningless.

I think that’s fairly normal. I know I’m abnormal (this is a slow year for me).

As an Australian I have the right to take the piss out of the Negus. Especially when we had Jana.
