I take off for World Horror, Odysseycon,Wales, and London in between until April 6th. I've no idea how often I'll be online --it depends on time and access to wifi.
When I get back I'll post the 50 Honorable Mentions that made it into the print Best Horror of the Year, volume 2 and see if I can post the rest of them in sections (so that they don't blow up my facebook page, which is where these posts end up).
A few movies: Friday night I watched Bridget Bardot in And God Created Woman, with Curt Jurgens, who I had a crush on, growing up and a very young Jean-Louis Trintignant. I didn't remember that I'd seen it until the penultimate scene, (spoiler alert)

where Jean-Louis slaps the Bardot character a few times and then they go home all lovey-dovey--proving all a "loose" woman needs is a loving man to smack her around so that she knows he really cares for her. Oh well. But Bardot was sure hot!
Caught up with Crazy Heart Saturday and like it a lot. Jeff Bridges was fantastic, as was Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Colin Farrell. I liked it better than I remember liking Tender Mercies to which it's been compared. Loved the soundtrack.
Started last season of Monk--which is ok so far --I'm glad it's ending. It's getting tired.
Tried to watch Sylvia (about Plath) but the disc wouldn't play so watched the rest of the fourth season of Angel. Some of the fourth season was awful but some pretty good and I'm really glad Lila is back, even if only temporarily.
