Oh! One other cool thing happened over the holiday that I'd totally forgotten -- it happened after all on the 23rd, right at the start of my time off, so I can be excused. And yes this is some self-love (nee obsession) but so be it -- I got quoted in a Nosferatu trailer! It's a millisecond quote in a Facebook trailer but whatever -- and I know some people think it's gauche to care about blurb-whoring but I hope I never lose this thrill I feel about it. It always makes me feel like I'm patting Lil' Me on the head and saying, "Hey kid, you obsession with movies in place of 'having friends' will one day reap some okay benefits." And I never write my reviews -- read my Nosferatu review here -- with blurbs in mind, peppering adjectives about like M&Ms for the P.R. E.T.s to follow. I am always shocked when they're able to pull something from my rambling twaddle. But I really wanted to get into a Nosferatu trailer since it's my beloved Robert Eggers and I loved this movie so much. This one made me super giddy. Here's the clip (forewarning it's terrible quality since I had to record it off of Facebook):

Congratulations! I saw your quote from the trailer! Wish I agreed with you about the movie, though. I didn’t like it. I didn’t like Wicked or Queer either (I’d just finished reading the books before seeing the movies). That said, and being a Minnesotan, I loved A Complete Unknown. Next movie I plan to see is the Robbie Williams movie, Better Man! I’m a huge Robbie fan!
Never read the books before seeing the movies! Or if you must, wait at least ten years before seeing them... If the books are any fresher in my mind, with my own images of the characters and all, I tend to hate the movies.
