I had no idea I'd find that as fascinating as I did, but it's a great telling and I now have incredible admiration for those guys.

That was my last horror film, but I would like this new set.https://secondsightfilms.co.uk/collections/latest-releasesBe aware that these discs are Region B. I see that the big set with the book and all is out of stock (this thing is HOT), but they'll make more. You might want the standard edition with just the discs. I haven't heard yet if this is going to be released by anyone in the US.

Thank you, Bruce, for hosting this fine band of humans I've come come to think of as family !
The period between the two eye surgeries is valuable for really observing the differences. I was totally shocked at the greenish-yellow haze, or tint, in the uncorrected eye. The eye with the new lens saw our then-overcast skies as a beautiful pure blue-ish gray, while it was - literally - a greenish-yellow in the other. Indoor lights were whiter, even older incandescent bulbs. And to think that I'd always prided myself on observing colors accurately. People told me that colors would appear brighter, etc., and I pooh-poohed that, thinking that the main problem with the cataracts was the inability to focus properly. It's really everything that's affected.I later remembered noticing some years back that if I looked at something with one eye and then the other, one saw "colder" colors and the other one "warmer". With the two, though, I was happy in the assumption that that was the correct balance. Hah! That difference is completely gone now, something I could never have predicted.
Finished Moonflower Murders. I wasn’t overly thrilled. But it was okay.
