There are no flashbacks or scenes of interaction w/ any of the characters and the dying mother. That didn't strike me until a few hours after watching. I had to ask Jess, and I think it's true. So all the work of coaxing your tears has to be done via talking *about* and *nearby* the dying mother. This seems more a theater thing than a movie thing. Do movies do this?

A run of fun re-watches. #871 - Knife in the Water (1962) So efficient even in his first feature. There is nothing wasted. It's a bracing example…

I can’t believe how good Roadside Picnic is. Sad like Hemingway’s good stories and a voice like Chandler but also totally weird. This is the book…

The Dougie stuff sure is some uninspired stuff. Episode 5 is not a very good gear shift. I'm not encouraged.
