I think I might watch a movie tonight. No idea which one though. My wife is working so I think I'm gonna go with something I know she has no interest in seeing.

I'm watching The Lost Boys, thanks to Nightbooks and Chvrches' endorsement of it; how have I never seen this? it's great, and its influence on Buffy and The X-Files is clear
