    In Fabric 2018

    ★★★½ Rewatched 14 Sep, 2018

    Second viewing; no change -- this seems endlessly rewatchable to me; I'm already eagerly anticipating the inclusion of the Dentley & Soper TV advertisement -- which doesn't quite reach the heights (or irresistible earworm properties) of Halloween III Silver Shamrock jingle, but features the singularly mesmerizing image of the beckoning salesladies enticing (luring?) us -- as an extra feature on a Blu-Ray release that can be played in a loop.

Firmly on #TeamPvtJoker with regards to Alvarez's facility in establishing the house's geography.
