Black is a Korean supernatural drama that features a young woman who sees 'shadows.' These ghoulish shadows foretell a person's imminent demise.
It's available on Netflix and if you don't mind reading subtitles, is well worth a look.

Another double post as I realize that there are two Halloween related deadlines today.
1. October 27 is for the Gorey Envelope Contest deadline. Sad to say I again failed to complete and enter a submission (best intentions, eh?).
2. Today is National Black Cat Day (in the UK at least). Click here for more info on the plight of black cats from Simon's Cat.
3. Today is also the day Netflix releases SEASON 2 OF STRANGER THINGS!!!
4. And I wanted to let you know that I've decided on my costume for greeting the trick-or-treaters. Instead of being the tarot card reader or spooky Victorian lady I've decided on something....else.

Retro watching on Netflix
| Labels: Netflix, tv, X-files | 0 comments
In anticipation of the 11th season of X-files in 2018, hubby and I decided to re-watch all of X-files (tv and movies...or at least what's available on Netflix) for the next several months. We recently finished Season 1 which was fun.
It was fun chatting about where we were when we first saw particular episodes. Commenting on 90s fashion styles (those ties!!) and technology (remember telephone answering machines!). And which episodes were well remembered and which were almost entirely forgotten was interesting. And then there are the guest stars; my husband spent time looking up various actors on IMDB after too many brain cells were popped from trying to remember what other shows we knew them from.
Of course, knowing what is to come in the X-files mythology means seeing huge holes in that particular part of the narrative. I'm glad they are dropping most of that for the next season. I felt the show was at its best when Mulder and Scully were sparring over monster-of-the-week theories or doing stand alones (that fantastic haunted house Christmas episode, for example).

Granite Flats

It's raining and cold today so no pumpkin festival :(
Lester's Farm has postponed it till tomorrow when I will be out of town :(
In lieu of pumpkin festivals today's post will be about tv. Or what I've been watching on it. Because, you see, being back in North America means we now have access to Netflix - yay!
Now, admittedly I used my free month to rewatch a lot of old stuff. Like the first season of The Gilmour Girls. (Oh, come on! Who isn't rewatching at least some of it to get ready for the new movies next month?)
I also rewatched the first few episodes of Season 1 of Farscape, which, by the way, seems to have stood the test of time. I mean, how can you go wrong when you combine sci-fi, Henson muppetry and the interstellar chemistry between John Crichton (Ben Bowder) and Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black).
Two months in I've started watching new (ish) things. Like this show called Granite Flats by BYUtv. Set in the USA during the cold war period there is, seemingly, a UFO mystery at the core of Granite Flats.
I've enjoyed the first few episodes. Despite the fact that it's not sophisticated story telling there is a certain charm to it. Reminds me of The Goonies and Stand by Me. The sometimes uneven acting but wholesome appeal had me convinced it was a co-Canadian production! (eg, Murdoch Mysteries and Houdini and Doyle). But it's not.
Now while there isn't much of Granite Flats on Youtube to share here's a little taste...
Definitely some appeal, right? But who/what is BYUtv? I'd never heard of it.
After some more googling I've discovered that BYU is Brigham Young University...run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints.
And that's the Mormons, right?
