Now Watching on YouTube: "The Clavicular Experience" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYxUb8qyZkg

Silent Conversations by Gregory Weir is a little platformer flash game I’ve come back to over and over through the last 10-odd years - it’s quiet and beautiful, an interactive experience with poetry, prose and text that I’ve never seen before or since.

Your goal is to guide your cursor through landscapes the text creates, reading and moving carefully as you travel down the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland’s first chapter, into the fog-streaked streets of T.S. Eliot’s The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock, and trudge through the desert in chapters of Lovecraft’s The Nameless City- while avoiding the bite of powerful words.

When I’m in a bit of an odd, quiet mood, this is what I turn back to. I thought I would share it, in case any of you needed something simple and beautiful to focus on. Maybe send me something you’ve loved and found comfort in, too?

#internet gems

IMDb, the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content.

As I come to the end of my binge-watching Inspector Morse, I find myself Googling for interesting reviews of the series. I run into one on IMDB that is undeniably entertaining. Curious about its author, I click on the user name to see what else he’s reviewed. I find a treasure trove of the most hilariously erudite, curmudgeonly, biting movie reviews I’ve ever read. Why is this person not an Internet celebrity? I think my favorite is his review of Pearl Harbor.

And then there’s this, of Silence of the Lambs: “You know, people rave about this film but I much prefer Disney's cartoon version with those spotty dogs. They made some kind of weird serial killer movie out of a great family film. They'll be making some kind of sick fake-documentary horror film out of Hansel and Gretel next.”

combatreview, whoever you are, thank you. Your last IMDB review is of Inspector Morse from 2008; I sincerely hope you have not since met with Morse’s fate, and that someday, you will grace us with more reviews. Or has the endless parade of Marvel sequels so filled you with despair that you’ve given up on movies and TV altogether? Or perhaps you haven’t figured out streaming video? If the latter, please contact me at once. I volunteer to teach you.

Shit I Liked on the Internet This Week

Because what in the hell is more hilarious than a mullet? Oh yes, a child who has no say in their hair style. Those parents have an awesome sense of humor, or live in the mountains somewhere…
