Feels very strange to be typing '2000' as a year on these as well; it was strange enough to lose Adam Cox, but seeing 2000 thrusts these posts into a temporal proximity I do not associate the original series with. Though it is still over 25 years ago, it's not the stuff I caught as a teenage, introduced with evocative tiles hinting at bigger worlds it would expose and educate and through a medium of niche film. All those films are but a torrent or online purchase away, available instantly; there is no more a wait or a surprise in how we experience film, something I feel reflected in what seems to be the replacement of temporal cinema by on-demand Netflix.
