Er … Okay. Bye.

Here, something to think of while you’re away. 

The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).

Crimson Peak, end title sequence, 2015

Hi grandma. Having so much fun here. This place… is special. I’m starting to think this is the most spiritful place I’ve ever been. I think we found ourselves here. We finally got to see some other parts of the world. We saw some beautiful things here. God, I can’t believe how many new friends we made. Friends from all over the place. I mean everyone was so sweet here. So warm and friendly. It’s way more than just having a good time. God, it’s so nice to get a break from reality for a little while. We’ll always remember this trip. I wanna go back again next year with you. Something so amazing, magical. Something so beautiful. Feels as if the world is perfect. Like it’s never gonna end.

It doesn’t get anymore Russian than the Red Peril here.

What’s your favorite scary movie?

Oh, come on. You know I don’t watch that shit.

Why not? Too scared?

No, no. It’s just, what’s the point? They’re all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can’t act who is always running up the stairs when she should be going out the front door. It’s insulting.
