Getting back into physical media. Enjoying these little Blu-ray producers making limited editions with some very weird catalog of things you can’t get streaming. Derided as “Laura, warmed-over” but if you loved Laura you will enjoy this, and it has enough clever bits, real suspense, and acting…

A strange photo of me in mid-action, reaching up out of frame. I have on ray-bans and a shirt with a weird rich-person pattern I accidentally got from j crew, and behind me is a jungle of sumac and maybe I’m pointing up at a pterodactyl because it looks like the lost world but it’s just our porch.
