Lucas’ Polaroid: A naked Kolibri, a mini-Nagra, a Hasselblad and a Bonsai tree: 
Currently in the eyeholes: 
John Carpenter‘s “In the Mouth of Madness” Mini-Review: part of the Apocalypse Trilogy that also includes “Prince of Darkness” and “The Thing“. I really dig PoD because it’s a thought-provoking Sci-Fi Horror Comedy, sort of, and “The Thing” just plain RULES. ItMoM is disjointed Lovecraftish dystopia, mostly. Maybe I just don’t get what’s so scary about void monsters – they’re slow and not especially bullet-resistant. Four stars out of Ten, I’d say. Maybe it’ll grow on me later – Sam Neill is pretty good at going crazy, but where can you go when the Protagonist has no Agency? 
Oh hey, Typewriter Sighting! An old Underwood No. 5 in Sutter Cane‘s Eldrich Horror office. Amusingly, the typescript that comes off the machine is clearly laser-printed. 
Send me an address you like to get mail..I made a Christmas typewewriter and a poor photo of it into a Christmas card that I type a message in green and red :)…it won’t go out till the 2nd week of the New Year as I am away from home. Thx đ
But I’ve already got Christmas Mail that is late! :D
So disappointing when photographers and filmmakers cut corners and slap a laser-printed page into a typewriter. How dumb do they think we are??
Happy new year.
I just remember chortling (quite evilly) over each and every Lovecraft nod in the film. And the rather blatant âQuartermassâ reference. I really need to find all my old Lovecraft collections! (My first H.P. experience was reading âThe Lurking Fearâ as a kid, alone in the house at night. My luck, a full-tilt, âOld-Testament-Wrath-ofâ thunderstorm came up, right when I was getting to the part in the story where an âOld-Testament-Wrath-ofâ storm brings the eponymous horror outâŚ. *That* does an overly imaginative kidâs nerves a whole world of frazzlingâŚ)
