My favorite Twilight Zone episode is about the soldier who starts seeing impending death in people's faces. It ends with him seeing he's about to die and happily going off to it.

What We Do in the Shadows - Amazon Prime

I'd never heard of this movie but it's hilarious. About a group of vampire friends in New Zealand and their vampire domestic issues and social lives. You have the Master living in a sarcophagus in the basement. A Victorian dandy. A middle-ages vampire. The newly turned vampire and his best friend, a human. Servants.

Did you like the episode? It's one of those that really brings to the fore the fact that the show was written by people hosed up from WW2.

I very much did. The few episodes that deal with war and the flaws of mankind remind me of something JD Salinger or Kurt Vonnegut would write, and the intro monologue was the reason I wrote a post prior about loving some of Serling’s narration:

“Infantry platoon, U.S. Army, Philippine Islands, 1945. These are the faces of the young men who fight; as if some omniscient painter had mixed a tube of oils that were at one time earth brown, dust gray, blood red, beard black, and fear yellow-white. And these men were the models. For this is the province of combat and these are the faces of war.”

I'd agree with this statement. It's mediocre Canadian sci-fi, but I enjoyed it enough to keep watching unlike Dark Matter or Continuum.

"Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries."





The Sinner is a good tv show, I enjoyed it a lot. While Jessica Biel's performance is not bad, I was hoping this would be her breakthrough piece. Looking back, the show was carried by the good script, the performances were so-so.

I put this first episode on this morning and me and the gf sat through all 8 without a break. The annoying teenagers are definitely annoying teenagers but it was really good. I don't like not having closure but I feel like a season 2 is unnecessary and I hope they don't decide to force one on it.

We are on the same page. I can live with this being a self contained story. It's basically a movie broken into 8 parts.

There's an app (for iPhone at least) called Rain Rain that you can use to achieve similar results. You can even come up with custom sound combos. You mentioning the ambiance videos for reading reminded me of that, because I'll run Rain Rain when I'm out of the house a lot, just because it's a super relaxing way to focus. Anyhow, that's not streaming anywhere, so g'bye.

I just watched Future Man on Hulu after randomly seeing it as a suggestion. It's like a mix of Terminator and Last Starfighter but goddamn, is it hilarious. I didn't care for Josh Hutcherson in Hunger Games but he's pretty good in this. I think I'll need to re-watch it just to get all the references.
