You know, one of these days, I think I’m going to have to hit the library.
Just to see if there’s anything there I can rent.
My collection of backed up films is start to get a touch …
Thin.
Yes, thin, I think is the word.
Mind you … ?
Mind you, saying that, that DOESN’T, of course, rule out the fact one can find the occasional perfectly acceptable, film on TV.
And given I was watching a couple of documentaries, last night, I HAVE to admit I did a little taping: of a 2005 film, White Noise, that I’d been curious to see, ever since I saw the trailers for it, all those years ago.

White Noise sees Michæl Keaton as Jonathan Rivers: a recently bereaved widowed who has lost his second wife, after she seemingly drowned at a nearby river.
Rivers is soon contacted by Raymond Price, played by Ian McNiece, medium who began work after his own son died, and who specialises in Electronic Voice Phenomena: the phenomena where the dead talk to the still living through the static between tv* and radio stations.
More to the point … ? Price also claims he can help Rivers pick up the voices of his dearly beloved wife.
Something our hero soon finds himself becoming dangerously obsessed with …

Now …
Did I like White Noise … ?
I’ve got to admit, I did, thanking you.
OK, granted, it may not be the most meaningful film, ever made: and the idea of EVP isn’t going to appeal to those of us with either a strongly scientific bent, or more conventional religious beliefs.
But White Noise does make for an entertaining evening’s viewing, and I’d suggest it to you on that basis: don’t expect anything stunning, bar the entertainment.
White Noise

* If the Analogue TV signal in your area has been switched off, you’ll pick up exactly what we’re talking about if you turn on an old fashioned TV: lot’s of static and white noise …

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
