Demon Under Glass

O-kay! Something to cross off my list of things to do!

I put some solid work in tonight and finally, finally finished watching Demon Under Glass. I have been at it since, like, October. I just couldn't watch for longer than about five minutes at a time.

What I'm trying to tell you, I guess, is that that's why the recap is so incredibly detailed.

DEMON UNDER GLASS "In a featureless black box room, the three doctors watch through a one-way mirror into the super-secure-totally-look-we-boringly-showed-all-these-security-measures room where the SWAT guys are installing Marcus's casket. Subcommander Tal tells [Blair] that inside is a 'creature of pure [mumble]' (malevolence? evil? metal?) Blair guesses 'Lawn gnome?' Dirty look: 'Vampire.' Blair's incredulous. Tal: 'Do you know any human being that can be repeatedly shot, clubbed, shoved into a box, and still have the strength to resist?' Well, Blair does, yeah."

NB: I do not want you to watch this movie. I can't stress that enough. I don't even really recommend that you read the recap, but must needs when the devil drives. Godspeed.

Re: Well I like it.

I don't require things to be super fast explosions bam all the time, but I like things to be economical, and not to take longer than they need to.

Mostly I guess I wish the treadmill and eye test montage had been shorter, but maybe that is because it made me so embarrassed.

I have not read the book. Does the gay become text?

No; 2 years later, Marcus runs off with Joe; he yearns but never gets his way - it's by far the most interesting and sexy part of the story.
