Great promos for the last season of Dexter...
Seeing all his faces through the years is making me sad for the end. I have been with this show since the first season back in 2007, so I am having separation anxiety.
But this promo makes me hopeful for the season.

The viewers are allowed to be either "overlookers", ones who merely watching.
Or you can be one who "shines" trying to navigate his labyrinth, picking, discarding
and drawing conclusions as they sees fit.
OPTICAL TRICKERY
I consider this a visual masterpiece. Obviously, someone was in love with his camera. The shots are
supposed to leave you disoriented with the camera tricks and changing point of views. The tracking
shots are iconic and really give you a sense of being there. The zooms and the dissolves are all part
of the illusion. Some characters inexplicably leave on the right side of the frame and leave on the left.
There are my favorite examples.
Far away you see twins, but up close they are only similar.

Recently I saw the Shining Documentary Room 237 and loved it. I thought it offered interesting new
insights but, I felt a few of the theories to be complete bunk. After all my viewings, I am still finding
new surprises within this layered and hypnotic film. We know Kubrick had an obsessive eye for detail,
so here are some of my favorite secrets from the Shining.
MIRRORS/REVERSE/INVERT/BACKWARDS
A lot is being told in the opening sequence. The very first shot is of Yosemite national park reflecting a mirror image in water. Half of this picture isn't real. Also, an unknown point of view as we watch a car drive a windy road. It's 'overlooking' the car and then chasing it, before overtaking the cars pace. The credits roll at the beginning of the film and they come from the bottom up.
This begins a constant stream of mirroring, inverting, reversing of images and characters etc.
Also a great way to introduce this very different version of the book.

Love this new vampire....! And hate the other new vampire....tara. Can't you be happy ever?! That would have been more shocking, if you woke up being grateful for once.

Glad to have Queen Bill and Sheriff Northman getting lots of screen time. Tired of them fighting over Sookie.
Excited to see them take down the VA.
