I feel sorry for people who didn't grow up with true boredom. The kind of rainy day in the 70s or 80s with only black & white films on TV, nothing to do on a hot Saturday, or empty time after a school day boredom. There was self discovery, reading, experimentation, play - and joy - in that boredom.

I had already been planning on writing about POSSESSION for its 45th anniversary but the loss of Sam Neill changed my approach greatly. What I ❤️ about this film is that no 2 viewings are the same so I wrote about that here & so much more: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/45-years-lat...

SIXERS FANS HAVE SUFFERED FOR SO LONG. AND NOW THE GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME IS CHOOSING TO END HIS CAREER IN PHILADELPHIA. TO TRUST THE PROCESS. THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. I LOVE THIS LEAGUE.

The scene in Possession where Sam Neill's character, Mark, attempts to kill his wife's lover, Heinrich (Heinz Bennent) with a feather and a shoe is one of the most disturbing scenes in all of horror (and, yes, I include all of the other scenes in Possession).

There’s never been anyone whose involvement more completely and immediately poisons vibes and destroys joy. No good thing survives contact.
