Mood: Sun's Out, Spooky Scary Skeletons Out (My #31HorrorFilms31Days Shortlist)

To the one loyal reader of this blog, I apologize.

You know who you are.

For the rest of my invisible audience: hi, I'm Kaye and believe it or not, I am a big baby when it comes to the terrible, creepy and downright evil.

Mood: Feeling Fall and Feeling Fine.

...That may be the most nonsensical post title I've written to date.

Anyway, it's been a while. The hellish season of extreme heat has had to crawl back under its rock. I honestly don't know why I used to be a huge fan of summer, but now I can assure you I've seen the light and gladly welcome the season of apples, pumpkin spice, crisp sunlight and haunted houses with open arms.

That's right. It's finally autumn!

Rejoice, rejoice, and drag out all your sweaters. But don't wear them all at one time.

Okay. So. New season means a seasonal wishlist, which means stuff that I want to do because it feels like the thing to do this season but probably will forget about until November 29th and fling myself forward into a mad dash before the Christmas carols and peppermint everything distracts me entirely.

Without further ado...

The Wishlist

Mood: Amethyst Skies and Amélie

amelie

france | 2001

available on netflix

"Amélie is a fanciful comedy about a young woman who discretely orchestrates the lives of the people around her, creating a world exclusively of her own making. Shot in over 80 Parisian locations, acclaimed director Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Delicatessen"; "The City of Lost Children") invokes his incomparable visionary style to capture the exquisite charm and mystery of modern-day Paris through the eyes of a beautiful ingenue."

a warning, gentle reader, that this movie is r-rated for good reasons and most of them boiling down to: THE FRENCH.

oh, the french.
