I don't have much in the way of movies to recommend this month because 
most all I have been watching have been horror films. That's because I 
hang out with a group on a forum that tries to watch a horror film each 
night in October to celebrate 31 Days of Halloween. 


How cool. I did a similar thing a couple of times with a bunch of Browncoats 
(Joss Whedon fanboys) I only knew from the Net. We'd watch episodes of 
Firefly or the film Serenity or Dollhouse on successive nights -- all the 
way through the whole series -- and then rap about it. Real TV series nerd 
stuff, but at the same time really, really fun if you're into the genre or show 
or movie you're binge-watching. 


Most films I 
watch would not be for the faint of heart here.  But one from Turq's 
former country of residence, Spain, is actually more of a dark comedy 
and called Witching and Bitching. Sounds like FFL doesn't it?  But 
it's about a heist in Madrid and how the crooks escape to a small town 
and learn it is run by witches.  Lots of comedy of errors.  It's on 
Netflix WI.

I will definitely look for it. I can't wait, in fact, to discover which small 
town they think is full o' witches. 


Been catching Gracepoint to see what they do with it over the 
original, Broadchurch which played last year on BBC America. Features 
a lot of scenery from Ann's neck of the woods despite the New York State 
credit at the end.  According to a member of another forum I'm on who 
did the special effect New York credit is there because it's being 
edited there and they get a tax rebate for that. It's mostly shot on 
Vancouver Island with some second unit done near Santa Cruz, 
California.  The cliffs in the show are all his companies work as a 
special effect.  It's on FOX.

Broadchurch was interesting, so I can see myself checking out what they do 
with this remake of it. 


 Finished up Intruders which was intriguing. 


I stalled on that one, and can't tell you why. I started it, but then lost 
interest and now have to go back and watch it all from the beginning. 


Read that there will be no 
third season of Utopia ... for Brits unless maybe there is one on 
HBO.  As for HBO it has been announced that next year (I bet in time for 
Game of Thrones) a cable or satellite subscription won't be needed to 
see shows using HBO GO.  Apparently HBO viewers in Sweden already have this.

Belated thanks on this one, BTW. I was busy with a work project, and would 
possibly not have noticed the second season of this series if you hadn't 
mentioned it. It took me a LONG time to get to it, but I just finished 
binge-watching it, so thank you, thank you, thank you. Very dark and Not For 
Buck in many, many ways, and to some extent Not For Americans in many more 
ways, but really interesting.  


 Well, Happy Halloween and don't let the eBullies get ya!  This year I'll 
be watching the parade of tricksters on my security cam.

The rest of the year the 31 Days thread rates and reviews horror films 
we've seen. It's a fun group.  Most recently folks said that we didn't 
need to watch any movies for 31 days of horror, just the evening  news.


Looking at the archives apparently it was Salvyavin who alerted us to 
Utopia and you thought I would like it because of the conspiracy in 
it.  I couple months back I bought the UK Bluray from a forum member in 
the extras Dennis Kelly, the creator of the show, said he was inspired 
by all the conspiracy theories around. Unfortunately Channel 4 announced 
they wouldn't be releasing a Bluray of season 2 because of poor sales of 
season 1.  I hope HBO keeps the aspect ratio,  color grading and no 
close-ups.  That apparently will be up to David Fincher who is doing the 
HBO version.  I also wouldn't be surprised if it launches the same time 
Game of Thrones since Utopia grabs a different fan base.

Ebola looks like a parasite so I looked it up and most all viruses are 
indeed parasites though it is a subject of controversy among 
immunologists.  My bet it just doesn't like certain things in your 
blood.  It may not like hot spices for instance.  Notice there have been 
no outbreaks in India.  I recall a Sopranos episode where Tony and the 
boys go have some India food and then get sick.  Tony wants to off the 
restaurant owner but sees his doctor first who tells him it is unlikely 
they got it there because of the clever use of spices in Indian cooking 
which keeps parasites away.  Bring on the chilis!


I better go stock up on chocolate since the harvest was usually done by 
workers from the Ebola stricken countries and the cocoa growing 
countries have blocked their entry.  But we westerners love our 
chocolate (dark for me only and at 90%) so perhaps robots will take over 
the harvest. ;-)
