NIACW 659 Caddo Lake
Not In a Creepy Way
Brothers Drew and Eric talk about the 2024 movie “Caddo Lake,” which is better watched with very little information known ahead of time. They liked it quite a bit. Conversation drifts from “Annihilation” to “24” to “Lost” to “Six Feet Under” to James Elroy. Eric found it helpful that he had watched “The Deer Hunter” earlier in the day for the first time and he found that it was exceedingly boring. Caddo Lake had much more going on.

Not In a Creepy Way

info_outlineOctopussy proves that one can forgive a lot of goofiness if the pacing is fast enough. It has clowns, twins, an all-girl ninja force, a Faberge egg, elephants, a tiger, a submarine that looks like a crocodile, a nuclear bomb, and a crazy Russian general but it’s still fairly grounded to reality.

Orlando Sentinel:
Elevator Crushes Woman Caught Between Floors
October 1, 1991 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA —
A woman was crushed in a parking garage elevator as fellow passengers tried to save her. The woman was caught Sunday between floors of the J.C. Penney Co. parking garage elevator. She was getting on when the elevator started going up and she slipped, police said. ''As she stepped on the elevator, it suddenly started to go up,'' police Lt. Bill Gaither said. ''There was no one standing at the control panel, and the doors stayed open.'' The woman dangled half on and half off the elevator and was crushed as five other passengers frantically pressed buttons to save her, Gaither said.
