After Last Season

So the trip Ti and Adam and I took on Friday was to Lancaster, California, which is apparently the crystal-meth capital of Southern California. While driving down its sunny avenues, we espied a man in a motorized wheelchair going through a fast food drive-through.

This is what we were en route to:

I spent the evening following our return staring at my computer, trying to wrap my brain around the review I'd promised to write. One very busy weekend later, I finally managed to eke out just over 1000 words on this cause celebre. An excerpt:

...Which is to say that, having driven 90 minutes to see Mark Region’s After Last Season at a Cinemark megaplex in the middle of the desert, having uttered the title at the box office with the same nervousness by which young men of old might have purchased a ticket to their first adult film, having sat down in the theater, having watched all 93 minutes of the film itself projected on 35mm and then driving 90 miles back home afterward, I feel no more convinced that it’s real than I did when I first watched (and watched and watched) the trailer after it surfaced online three months ago. The cards just don’t line up.

You can read the rest at Hammer To Nail.
