A quiet Sunday. I finished reading all of the stories still sitting in the Kaleidotrope slush pile, which is something of a minor miracle. I haven’t sent out acceptances or rejection letters to everybody just yet, but that should be finished by tomorrow. I started putting together a spreadsheet of future issues, and I’m easily into April 2012. So let’s hope Roland Emmerich and John Cusack were wrong, for everybody’s sake.
Meanwhile, I watched The Day the Earth Stood Still. It was okay, more impressive in its special effects than its story. I’ve never seen the original, though generally I hear it’s better.
Other than that? Thoroughly failed to finish this week’s New York Times crossword puzzle. Though the night’s not over just yet, so we’ll see.
Oh, man – you must see the original black and white. It is SUCH a good movie. Especially the bit where the doctor is talking about health problems…and then takes a long, slow drag of his cigarette. Not that it was intentional, but so funny.
It is quite a good black and white movie. I’m still trying to track down a copy of the original ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers.’ The 70s remake was good, but I still want to see it the way it was first imagined.
Both are in Netflix, though I wasn’t sure if either were recommended, since they don’t star either Vince Vaughan or Jennifer Aniston. (If you can believe such a thing!) 😉
Unbelievable. No wonder the economy is in the crapper.
