Finally got a chance to see Obsession. Inde Navarrette deserves all the praise as does Michael Johnston and the rest of the cast. Great horror:thriller. PS reminded me that short story The Chaser by John Collier. That story had always stuck with me.

Rewatched Die Another Day for first time in many years. With fresh eyes, my new opinion is that it’s a pretty decent Bond film until they get to the ice hotel… from there, not so much…

The missus and I went to Vegas to see Billy Idol who is playing there for a couple weeks. This is about my 4th time seeing him over 40 years (first saw him on the Rebel Yell tour). Billy (and Steve Steven’s) still bring all the rock power!

Just finished Clive Barkers The Last Illsuion, the short story that was the basis of the film Lord of Illsuions. It had some really interesting differences. We may need to make our upcoming Hellraiser podcast a doubleheader.

Just finished re-reading Clive Barker's The Hellbound Heart on the plane. I love how tight that novel (novella?) is. And while the book/movie are super similar, I do enjoy the deeper glimpse into Frank's mindset.
