Re: your Buffy comment which came as a total shocker. I hated the later seasons! I thought the writing butchered the characters to bring in some drama, was especially cross about what they did to Willow. But there you go : )

Yes, there’s no accounting for taste. I’m one of those weirdos who believe the movie is sometimes better than the book, and that the sequel is sometimes better than the original. My family has disowned me and my dog looks ashamed when I try to play with her!

My favourite Buffy is predictable. The musical and the episode that followed it, Tabula Rasa. I call season 5 and 6 of Buffy "High Renaissance Buffy".

i am leaving the same words here too bc why not - i ended up on "Last Words" on your site a while ago and completely forgot to comment on it - i love the flow of it and how all the little details just slot into so much vivid domestic tragedy. these lines like "pulling your abstinence by the whiskers with my glass of scotch" go down so cleanly <3

Thank you for the follow and hello! Love Exposure is an interesting choice for a favourite movie. Those were some weird four hours.

Hi! :) And yeah, it's a weird and ridiculous film, but I feel that it never reaches a point where it's alienating or lessers the impact of the more emotional scenes. That's really why I love it: there's so much going on, it's all over the place tonally and pacing wise, but somehow, it works. Perfectly. it's monumental. It feels so full of life. idk

Though I haven't watched many movies, so I don't have much of a frame of reference lol.

Oh I wasn't knocking the movie. Whatever its faults, I DID watch the whole thing in one sitting which I can say about no other movie of that length. It's fun and involving, and a true original. I've filed it under 'torture porn' but I'm a bit of a gentle flower that way.

Oh btw pike, I think I've been sending emails to an old account of yours that you don't check/have access to any longer? How can I contact

Er, that's weird. I've just tested both e-mail handles (agne@ and pike.malarkey@) and they seem to be working ok. That said, I sent you a story yonks ago but I never received a reply so maybe it's connected? I'll drop you a line on your two e-mails (ratmag and personal), tell me if you get them.

Ok, the ratmag e-mail bounced. The other one should go through?

Personal went through

I have just finished the Bomb story and I really enjoyed it. My favourite bits were: 1) descriptions of the pre-Unification museums which made me think of Pamuk's Musem of Innocence in Istanbul; 2) "Telling, sometimes, is to watch someone, and to not pretend you weren’t looking when they notice."
