Punctuation, People



Oh, Monty - you and your promiscuous young people. Why couldn't you just write about genteel scholars looking for old books 'n' that?

Gleaned this online, so I'm not sure of the source, but it looks (and reads) like the dear old Grauniad.

Watched both 'The Babbadook' and 'It follows' based on your recommendation, and really enjoyed both - with maybe 'It Follows' having the edge. I can't say I saw the connection!

Glad you liked them. I do my best! Not sure what connection you mean - the two films are very different, though I think both offer a good variation on a familiar theme. In one, there's the mysterious, spooky intruder mistaken for a child's fantasy, in the other there's the curse playing out slowly.

Sorry, my bad. I just meant the connection between the M. R. James story and 'Follow Me.'
