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

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.
