Day 28
Reflections on: Dark Skies(2013)
- I mainly watched this because it stars Kerri Russell and I’m a fan of Felicity. Check it out hahaha
- Kerri Russell and Josh Hamilton play the parents of two boys - one is the kid from Real Steel (2011). If you haven’t seen this movie it’s just Rocky (1976) with dancing robots.
- This felt almost exactly like Poltergeist (1982) but with aliens instead of restless spirits and sadly none of the charm of the Spielberg movie. Yeah that’s right, I referred to Poltergeist as a Spielberg movie. What are you gonna do, Tobe Hooper?!
- Just like in Poltergeist, the weird happenings begin in the kitchen with mysterious messes and condiment installations. At one point a TV even plays the American national anthem, as it does in Poltergeist, but with a wobbly vibrato effect on it - because apparently aliens make things sound wiggly!
- The abduction elements were also very reminiscent of Close Enounters of the Third Kind (1977) and The X-Files. I love that kind of shit and find it genuinely freaky as I once woke up with mysterious bruises that I couldn’t explain! I want to believe, but alas, I am more of a Scully.
- J.K. Simmons plays an alien expert with many cats and a silly hat. His resources look like they’re straight out of The International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico. If you ever get a chance to go there you absolutely must. It’s a delightful treasure trove of bizarre dioramas with the same production value as an elementary school science fair.
- This looked incredibly bland - but I guess maybe that’s just what the suburbs can be like? Everything felt beige.
- My favourite scenes were anything that included art that was supposed to be drawn by children. Always a treat.
- You should probably just watch Poltergeist andFelicity instead! At the SAME TIME.

A change of tone never hurt anybody.
Here’s a concept I’ve had on the back burner for a while. One of my large drawings is related to this one. This here is Juliana, and she’s mourning the death of her lover, Albion. He died under mysterious circumstances, which left Juliana heartbroken.
To make things worse, her father keeps pushing new suitors in her face, desperately trying to force her to marry someone else. Her father never approved of her love with Albion, so this makes her suspicious of him and the suitors presented to her.
As the days go by, the suitors begin dropping dead in freak accidents. This spurs Juliana to begin investigating the strange circumstances surrounding her lover’s death. It’s as if his spirit is just over her shoulder, ensuring no one else takes her from him…
