Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) — A Review

27th January, 2019.



Right … 

It’s a late night for me: as I’ve started writing this at, what … ?

Just coming up to 11:30 … ish.

And, frankly … ?

I’m just about ready to go to bed … 

after I’ve finished my coca.

As the situation with iMovie is getting ridiculous.

Frankly?

The second of those intro videos was done with a free piece of software I’d found on the App Store, and wanted to try.

The curse of unemployment is simply the fact you have a lot of time on your hands.

No money to do anything — like buy new software — but time on your hands.

Tonight … ?   After having dinner with my family?

I had time on my hands … and a desire to catch up with quite a few things.

Not least, El Ministerio Del Tiempo: The Ministry of Time, if you want that in English

I think I’m getting withdrawal symptoms!

~≈§≈~

Then again … ?

Then again, tomorrow is another day.

That’s when I can start catching up with the second season of El Ministerio Del Tiempo.

Much as I wanted to get started, there?

I do know there’s a few films in my collection I wanted to watch.

The one I ended up with … ?

And had been meaning to see since I’d catch the original 1956 version?

Was the 1978, Donald Sutherland vehicle, Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

I think I’ve made the right decision, there …

Invasion of The Body Snatchers (1956): A Review

26th December, 2018.


Hmmm … 

That’s something I didn’t realise … 

Old friend, and Old Peculiar regular, Debbi Mack, runs a podcast: the Crime Cafe.

And its associated Patreon page: here.

Given my current financial situation?

And the fact my PayPal account hasn’t seen a penny in years?

It’s something worth looking at … if:
  1. I can square it with my benefits

  2. Get enough of my arse in gear to put the work in!
Frankly?

I’ve never been that good at motivating myself … 

~≈§≈~

Hmmm … 

It’s possibly worth thinking about, isn’t it?

Motivation or otherwise.

At any rate … ?

At any rate, in all this time off … ?



I can catch up with the stuff sitting in the movie collection.

And, whether Debbi would call it as a B movie or not?

Tonight, I’ve managed to sit in with the original, 1956, Don Siegel directed, version of … 

The Invasion of the Bodysnatchers …
