Un-Unsolved Mysteries

love itz when the internets solve my unsolved mysteries. in the 7th grade – me saw some short movie in Mrs Katz’ English class that blew my mind, but as time passed, could never figure out what it was called, and yet the stark imagery of this short movie of mind blowedness never left my blown mind. all I remembered about the story was that it was about a girl who grew up on earth but now lives on a planet where it rains all the time, and every once in forever, the sun shines for like 2 seconds on this rainy planet. her classmates had never seen the sun, and they tease her and stuff. JERKS!! won’t reveal what happens, but based on that tiny bit of plotness, I decided to goooooogle it the other day and BAM – unsolved mystery no mo!! it was a 1982 PBS TV production of Ray Bradbury’s short story All Summer in a Day, and after watching it again, it STILL blows my mind (which is no sirprise, since I live for reliving sh!t from my childhood). it co-stars Keith Coogan (Uncle Fester’s grandson / babysitting movie alumnus) and gots cinematography by There Will Be Blood‘s Oscar Winner Robert Elswit!!!
