…I can post this.
There’s a new Lame Excuse Books catalog out. Books from Lame Excuse Books make fine presents for the SF and/or fantasy fan in your circle of family and friends.
I feel like I got an early Christmas present this year. Maybe. I haven’t decided if I’m going to go see this in a theater, or wait for the home video release.
David Fincher has a new movie coming out. Apparently it will be released to Netflix on December 4th, but there is a theatrical run already at the Alamo Drafthouses in Austin.
I think Fincher is an interesting director. But: he has scientifically designed this movie to get me to put money on the table for it.
Director David Fincher’s MANK is a journey into the black-and-white era of Hollywood through the eyes of alcoholic screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, played with droll, boozy, intense wit by Gary Oldman. The film follows the former journalist as he races to finish the screenplay for the landmark 1941 film CITIZEN KANE – leading to a battle with wunderkind director Orson Welles over the screenwriting credit.

John N9olte did not like it.
And I’m not willing to pay for NetFlix. But if they released “Stranger Things” on home video, then I think there’s at least a chance that they’ll release this.
Or I can always hoist the black flag.
One thing I will say, no matter what the virtues of this film are: at least this led me down a Wiki wander where I discovered the backstory of Pauline Kael being a dishonest hack.
