Checked out the new Netflix film I’m Thinking of Ending Things. This is the latest to be written (and directed) by Charlie Kaufman, the wildman who wrote Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, and more. He’s … Continue reading
In the incomplete manuscript of one’s life, every once in a while one must watch a movie called The VelociPastor. Not because it’s good, but because it’s called The VelociPastor. And it’s free on Amazon Prime. And YouTube, actually. … Continue reading
