I cut a little 2 minute video from a handful of phone recordings from our gig last saturday.
Quotes
I collect quotes on a quotes page on my website. I add to it every few months. Since I think the quotes page is only linked on one page — my pages page (#meta) — I wanted to publish a post to say it exists. I hope you enjoy the quotes! If you have a collection of quotes on your website, send me an email and let me know.

🎬 Vampires

This is certainly not my favourite Carpenter movie, but I think it was totally fine. Although I prefer those wine-sipping romantic European vampire films that this one mocks. I have criticism regarding the reduction of pace in the middle, that strange love story, James Woods’ annoying character, and general more leaning towards an action zombie movie. But I generally liked the acting and characters, Sheryl Lee slowly turning into a vampire, and the whole splattery action at the party in the beginning is pretty damn good.
