Music Video of the Day: Over Again by Melissa Quinn Fox (2024, dir by Josiah Mendoza)

I’m in a country mood, I guess.  This video certainly captures everything that I enjoy whenever I find myself out in the country.  I’m a city girl at heart but sometimes, my heart just aches for a bright sun and a field that seems to stretch on forever.

Enjoy!

For today’s music video of the day, we have this visually vivid work of …. what would you call it?  Country gothic, perhaps?

Well, whatever you may call it …. Enjoy!

A Note To Our Readers

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Hi, everyone!

As I mentioned last month, things have been difficult down here in Texas with my father’s health issues.  We’re getting back on track here at the Shattered Lens but again, I want to say thank you for your patience as Erin and I get back to our usual posting routine.

Just a few administrative notes:

  1. Retro Television Reviews will return on September 2nd, with Miami Vice and CHiPs.  The delay is because I like to write up and schedule reviews for several episodes at a time, so that way I hopefully don’t fall behind and get overwhelmed by the pressure of trying to get caught up.  Again, thank you for you patience!
  2. As always, our annual Horrorthon starts in October!
  3. As for this month, it’s going to be about getting back into the swing of things and hopefully, getting caught up on some of the movies that I’ve missed over the past few months.
  4. Thank you for reading and commenting!

Love,

Lisa Marie

Monday Live Tweet Alert: Join Us For Silent Assassins and Jagged Edge!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

As some of our regular readers undoubtedly know, I am involved in hosting a few weekly live tweets on twitter and occasionally Mastodon.  I host #FridayNightFlix every Friday, I co-host #ScarySocial on Saturday, and I am one of the five hosts of Mastodon’s #MondayActionMovie!  Every week, we get together.  We watch a movie.  We snark our way through it.

Tonight, for #MondayActionMovie, the film will be 1988’s Silent Assassins!  Selected and hosted by Bunny Hero, this film stars Linda Blair and Sam Jones!  So, you know it has to be good!

Following #MondayActionMovie, Brad and Sierra will be hosting the #MondayMuggers live tweet.  We will be watching 1985’s Jagged Edge!  The film is on Prime!

It should make for a night of fun viewing and I invite all of you to join in.  If you want to join the live tweets, just hop onto Mastodon, pull up Silent Assassins on YouTube, start the movie at 8 pm et, and use the #MondayActionMovie hashtag!  Then, at 10 pm et, switch over to Twitter and Prime, start Jagged Edge, and use the #MondayMuggers hashtag!  The live tweet community is a friendly group and welcoming of newcomers so don’t be shy.
