What We Do in the Shadows
- Commentary: 6/5/2022: Finally watched this about six months ago. This is one of the silliest, funniest, dearest, most humane comedies I've seen in a long time. The only reason I haven't written about it, yet, is the same reason I haven't written about a lot of videos here that I haven't written about yet. The only videos I haven't seen, yet, are the three I ordered today. So, you know, I have no excuse. Just, under construction.
My Florida sister sent me this movie. I'm not sure what possessed her to do so, but I'm hilariously ever grateful that she did. I hope to catch some, if not all, of the episodes of the FX TV series, some day. My library has the initial movie but not the series. Amazon has both, and both are pay-per-view. Sorry, Amazon, I don't do pay-per-view. You already charge me enough, yearly, to be a Prime member. And, by the way, your prices per-DVD-per-season are prohibitive.
This movie is the pilot for a New Zealand TV series franchise, the Wikipedia write-up of which is here.
