I watched a couple of episodes of the Lovecraft Country show. It didn’t really land IMO. But the basic conceit of an updated version of the mythos would be interesting to see executed well.

There is a mention of “strange non-Euclidean geometries” and “an acute angle that looked obtuse.” I was not aware Lovecraft/fantasy/horror took inspiration from things like relativity in the 1920s just as straight-up sci-fi did. Interesting that no direct reference to Freud/Jung.

Because Lovecraft is out of copyright his film festival is the head of independent weird filmmaking. Every year there is always something interesting released. They go off in interesting directions.

I always thought lovecraft was the inspiration to some of this. When I read blindsight I thought of Lovecraft in that sense. Interesting to know it's an old thing.
