The Nightcap returns: Random notes from the road 7/12/20
I used to run a regular piece on Sundays that were part essay part catch all and included a whole bunch of links from Randi but life and just trying to put together the daily posts got in the way so it fell by the wayside. However Covid has slowed things down and stray thoughts have popped up so I'm going to take a couple of minutes and put together a new short piece sans the links. (I also need a distraction that is far from serious)A word of warning this is really random and really all over the place.

First thank you to everyone who sent well wishes concerning the passing of my dad. I appreciate everything sent my way. You are all way too kind. And some of you are truly crazy- but that's why I love you.

Related to that reviews for the next couple of weeks will be messy.
I have Dance on Camera and new release material to go. After that things may get spotty- it's largely older stuff. I do have access to the entire slate of Japan Cuts and I will be working to get coverage up, but because of how I am regarding my dad (I can get into a funk) and because things in life are taking center stage I can't say how much I will be able to get up in a timely fashion. I will have a couple of pieces this week and then more through the fest- but with everything releasing virtually Friday there is no way I can get reviews up of the whole festival (it's 42 films) to help you pick and choose what you want to see.
Upcoming selections of new release reviews are going to be random. It's purely a mixed of reposts, banked pieces and those films I stumble on. When I get offered something I look to see if it has a "yes" instantly factor and if if so I agree to take it on. If not I will either wait and see or just say no.
I am getting offered a lot of things that are not floating my boat. I am being asked to look at a bunch of TV series, but I have mostly said no because of the time suck. I can't invest five or six hours to do them right.
Thank god for festivals and having banked a lot of older film reviews

You'll notice I never went back and finished the TV series SNOWPIERCER. Sue me, I just never could get enthused enough to go back and drop five more hours of my time.
I am, however, curious what you all thought now that season one is done.

While in many ways I am liking the virtual fests- I am desperately missing the social interaction. I miss being around people and I really suspect that I am becoming socially backward as a result.
It doesn't help that my forays into connecting via Zoom have been disastrous. With the worst thing being the service messing up my computer while trying to be at a friends virtual birthday party.

The Stay At Home Fest Bonus Films are going to return next Monday. I am planning on running them until at least September 1. Surprisingly when I put the right films up there are a lot of hits. (I was shocked the Soviet films were watched as much as they were- and not by bots).
I know the upcoming selections, more weird stuff, movies, some theme park nonsense, auto racing docs and other random stuff, may seem odd, but it is being put together in a random way - they go together as I stumble over things in my quest to remain distracted and upright.

El Rey has started to run classic Lucha Libre on Saturday night at 10pm.
It great stuff, though the dub last night was just okay.(I'm told the dubs get better)

While I am dealing with life keep checking my Twitter page. It will link to any posts here at Unseen and will have other film stuff I don't manage to get up here such as word on films I may not do a full review for.

I saw a chunk of IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD on cable- and while I liked it I think it was wrong to make Mr Rogers a secondary character

I never knew Petite Tube existed- it randomly picks low or no viewed YouTube videos

I finally saw most of SHAZAM the other night. I thought it was an excellent representation of what I remember of the comic- which means I liked it intellectually but it didn't connect emotionally- though the Superman bit at the end made me tear up

And I will get the 3 month late interview up later this week.

Hubert was a finalist for Omnidawn's annual fiction. The story he submitted was absolutely amazing and needs to be read it will both breath your heart and heal it.
