"No one move a muscle as the dead come home"

anyone out there love Shriekback as much as me?

Some cult fim recommendations!

1) "Badlands" Terrence Malicks masterpiece based on the Charles Starkweather/Caril Fugate murder spree in 1958, great performances by a young Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen.... visually stunning and well shot.

2) "Rumble fish" very underrated Coppola gem featuring Mickey Rourke and Matt...

I have not read it either...
a brief synopsis when you get a chance.
I love a good book or film recommendation.



The Yellow Wallpaper is a really short read; I highly recommend it!

I looked for a short synopsis, but they all give away too much info. Here's a little bit of one:

"The Yellow Wallpaper," first published in 1892 in the New England Magazine, is largely considered Gilman's best work of short fiction. The story is a first-person account of a young mother's mental deterioration and is based on Gilman's own experiences with postpartum depression. Like Gilman, the unnamed protagonist of the story is advisedin accordance with the theories of S. Weir Mitchellto abstain from any and all physical activity and intellectual stimulation. She is not allowed to read, to write, or even to see her new baby.

"Art out of trash" sounds just like my thing. wink

I live on the south coast of England and although scenic-ly it is beautiful the art and culture is few and far between. I have to keep making trips to London to dose myself up. Tell me more about Brockton
