Have you got family?
Younger relatives?
I do: my nephew, Jude, so you know.
Who want’s to be a YouTuber: wouldn’t you know it … !
At ANY rate … ?
He wants to know how to record stuff — games in particular — on his tablet, so he can record additional commentary, via green screen.
THEN upload it to YouTube.
With Mummy’s permission.
Possibly when he’s 13, obviously!
At ANY rate: that got me looking for how to do screen recordings on as many different things as possible.
On his Amazon Tablet?
I couldn’t find a thing.
On my phone, on the other hand?
I’ve found that, if you simultaneously press the Volume Up, and Power buttons, you can do a screen recording like the one I’ve posted, here.
There’s even an onscreen ‘Stop’ button.
How you do that recording on anything else? Without installing extra software?
Is a mystery to me …

At ANY rate … ?
That’s not necessarily what I wanted to tell you about, tonight.
Nope.
I’ve got to confess that — last night — I watched a movie.
1981’s The Howling.
Not something I was stunned with, it has to be said.
I fancied something a touch …
Well, better paced, for starters.
I think I found that: in the shape of the Ted Bundy biopic, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Vile and Evil.
I think we have an interesting movie, here …
~≈§≈~
Base on the biography, The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy, by Bundy’s former girlfriend, Elizabeth Kendall, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Vile and Evil shows us Liz (Lily Collins): preparing to met her ex for the last time: as Bundy (Zac Efron) is preparing to his execution.
The story flashes back to 1969: twenty years earlier when the pair met at a students bar in Seattle.
Met … and start dating …
Until 1974, when young women start going missing: around Washington State: and neighbouring Oregon.
And Ted is arrested in 1975: in Utah.
Several people have connected him with the police sketch that’s been released: and police in the Pacific North West have been circulating his name.
And, when Ted is pulled over for speeding … ?
In Utah … ?
In Utah … ?
He eventually is charged with kidnapping …
That charge … ?
Is when Ted’s life, Ted’s … hobbies … ?
Start to catch up with him …
Start to catch up with him …

Now …
What was I expecting, here … ?
I’m not necessarily sure: but think I expecting something vaguely like The Silence of the Lambs.
After all, Buffalo Bill’s kidnapping technique was lifted from Bundy …
A police procedural, maybe: or psychodrama.
What I got … ?
Was a good old fashioned courtroom drama: one that makes the relationship between Ted and Liz its central story, and one that is something I found utterly engrossing.

This is not a horror movie, with bodies piled up on street corners.
This IS about the relationship between a women deceived by the most engaging of men …
One who, ultimately?
Deceived many in his time, including her, before going to his death, at the end.
Frankly?
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is not a stunningly wonderful film.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is well played: extremely watchable.
And well worth your time.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
★★★☆
