Decided to s...A bit late for comment, but oh well:<br /><br />Decided to search out both of Reamy's books after your write up, and did find both of them through ILL. SAN DIEGO LIGHTFOOT SUE just came in and I've started with that.<br /><br />Ellison's intro mentions that Reamy did spend some time in L.A. attempting to break into the business (being one of the many sci-fi releated people to work on FLESH GORDON), and apparently had several scripts that were close to actually being made.<br /><br />"Beyond The Cleft" sort of reads like it may have originally been a premise for a film. I could be wrong, but it does have that feel.<br /><br />So far, I'm enjoying his work - dismayed that it took so long to discover it, but very happy to have finally done so... <br /><br />Thanks entirely to YOU!L.

What? Oh, sorry.
Sometimes, when I'm w...Yes? What? Oh, sorry.<br /><br />Sometimes, when I'm watching a movie like <b>Mulholland Drive</b>, I think "Wouldn't it have been <i>amazing</i> if Lynch had been able to tie all that together in a way that would provide closure, without losing a bit of the strangeness or uneasiness?" And yes, it would be amazing. The obvious problem with that is that Lynch obviously had no interest in doing that. The other problem with that is how in God's name could he have managed it? Maybe there is some way, but would it have been better then what we have? People think so, or some do. I even do, sometimes. But how often does that really work? Go on, give me some examples.bill r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17748572205731857892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-32611860019925317962009-10-21T16:43:00.359-04:002009-10-21T16:43:00.359-04:00Hello?Hello?Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730146625671701859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-73608296401542189902009-10-21T13:15:18.125-04:002009-10-21T13:15:18.125-04:00One, that title sounds like a Hoyt Axton song not ...One, that title sounds like a Hoyt Axton song not a horror story compilation. Two, as you brought up on The Birds post, we are conditioned to expect a solid <i>ending </i>. And when we get one we so often think, "You're kidding me? That's how they ended it? Oh come on!" Really, sometimes I think I would prefer most movies just pick a stopping point and roll credits rather than properly end. <br /><br />Given this piece and mine on The Birds I think I'm inspired to write a piece about this now. So I probably shouldn't say much more.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730146625671701859noreply@blogger.com
