This #Labyrinth sequel pitch from Andrew Plotkin is pretty freakin' awesome. They should make this:

Back to the Labyrinth

Look, there is only one thing I want from a Labyrinth sequel, and that's Jennifer Connelly as the Goblin Queen... Mother.

I know, it's tricky. David Bowie was this horny teenage fantasy of Magic and Freedom and Romance; he definitely wasn't a father figure. Do we need a retread of that? No.

So Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) as a single mom, frustrated with her teenage kid, and the kid is frustrated with her. The mom is busy with her job and is never home. The daughter wants to run around the back yard and play with her imaginary friends. Sarah is like "Look, I know! I was your age! The stories are important. But you have to do the laundry and make dinner too! Sorry, I have a late meeting, I have to run."

And the daughter screams "Yeah, go! I wish the goblins would come and take me away forever and ever!"

So they do. Welcome to the Labyrinth. But.

Sarah is the Goblin Queen. She always has been. That's her job. "Away at the office" is "off in the Labyrinth". Ever since Jareth disappeared, Sarah hears the wishes and Sarah cannot leave a wish ungranted. "I have done everything you've asked, turned the world upside down for you..." Only now it's her own kid, and what the teenager wants is for some Mom she doesn't know to save her from the Mom she does know, only they're the same person.

And what Mom wants is for her kid to understand that for sixteen years she has had the power to say "I wish the goblins would free me of this child" and she never said it. But now the kid has said it -- which means it has to happen.

And they're both exhausted by living up to each other's expectations.

Whatever they are to each other, it needs to change.

Sound about right?

New fan of director #Kogonada. Just watched his first film, #Columbus. (He also directed #AfterYang and some episodes of #Pachinko.) The characters talk about their love (or lack of it) for architecture, and share different ways of looking/seeing that are reflected in the film’s quiet, often repeated shots. Lovely.

The entertainment industry is broken, partially because of movies I've loved.

I'm starting a newsletter to process what happens next.

I am quickly becoming radicalized against the streaming establishment and state of movie watching.

Wasn't the promise that if we pay for all of these services we'll have access to everything at our fingertips?

Three popular movies from this year that I would love to watch:
1. TÁR
2. The Woman King
3. Everything Everywhere All at Once

Only one (Everything Everywhere) is available on a streaming service, and it's Showtime — sold as an expensive add-on to services I already pay for. Otherwise, you have have to make an expensive digital purchase to watch each one.

It's incredibly disappointing that studios and consumers were tricked into reshaping an entire industry around the promise of streaming, which is seemingly failing.
