#Junesploitation begins with ‘90s Action!, and very little says ‘90s Action! like JCVD. Hard Target was one of my favourites last year, so I figured I'd keep it going. I wish he kicked more dudes, but I still like it.

The flashbacks to a younger Ben Reilly seem to be played by Nicky Cage from Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent. Excellent casting choice. 😝

Kind of a weird double feature, but I enjoyed it. Should have held off until tomorrow to use Pressure for one of my challenges. I need something based on a true story b

It's Cult Classic/Exploitation Film week for #ZombieSteve52 so I went with the cult route for a movie that got very little initial distribution, but still managed to launch the career of a director I love and is now on Criterion Channel 35 years later.

Stuff like this is going to make people really hesitant to buy self published stuff off of Amazon. 1) $15.33 for a movie review? 2) Nothing says “I have a great understanding of this movie” like depicting the leads as two white people. 3) Slop

Last week was Cloris Leachman week for #ZombieSteve52 and I was slacking off. 😭 While picking something I also noticed she's on my Junesploitation list for next month, so I'll be getting familiar with her this year.

Mail day. I contain multitudes.

If the rest of this season of Game Changer is on the level of the first episode, I'll be very happy. Also, why did the default alt text for this image say it was BLM?

Fascinating motocross doc going on at secretcinematheque.com

Are you ready for The Hot Blooded All-Sports Movie Marathon?

Any of my bespectacled friends have a tip for cleaning microfibre clothes? I swear the one I have is making my glasses dirtier. Maybe it’s the spray, but I feel like that used to work fine.

It's Comic Book Inspired week for #ZombieSteve52 and I'm going to assume Comic Strip Inspired works too. It's all drawings in panels. 😀 I was kind of surprised to find out Little Orphan Annie because a supporting character in Dick Tracy after her run ended.

Me hosting trivia for the first time in about a year and realizing I made it a liiiiitle too hard.

I always like finding old receipts in my movies so I can say “I bought this almost 20 years ago” and then get sad because I’m old. I think I’ve worked with people younger than this DVD.

It's Sleeper Hit week for #ZombieSteve52, and I was surprised to see how many lists this appeared. I'm interested to see just what percentage of this movie I've picked up through pop culture osmosis.

Has there even been a PG-13 entry to an R-rated franchise that didn't suck? I'm seriously wondering.

I didn’t post a #LastFourWatched yesterday, but I was bouncing between cinemas from 2:10-11:00 today with barely any time between showings. This #LastFourWatched is just today.

I read an article that said Gen Z is going to the cinema more than any other generation at the moment. After that screening of Deep Water I question if they’re not also why other generations are staying away.

It's Anime week for #ZombieSteve52 and this week is really driving home the need for physical media, because half the things I went to look for have pretty much vanished. Saw this one in an add for some random streaming service and I liked the style, so here we are... in Megazone 23.

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

Received a belated birthday gift yesterday and the stickers are giving me flashbacks.

I find it weird that YouTube won't let me save anything classified as made for kids to my Watch Later, but it has no problem playing adds asking me to buy a car before it starts.

Film you’ve watched more than 6 times with a gif “Hard mode:“ No Star Trek, Star Wars, LotR, Disney or Ghibli

Happy Alien Day to all who celebrate.

We’re always so distracted by the fact that he can talk that we never discuss that Scooby-Doo has opposable thumbs.

Again I've procrastinated on #ZombieSteve52 because I picked a long one. This week we're going outdoors for Nature Calls - A film set primarily outdoors (Forrest, ocean, desert). Hopefully it counts that Hanks is surrounded by ocean. I'll pick something short next week and get back on track.

Wait, why does Oxford get one? We want a comma.

It's Space week for #ZombieSteve52 and I've been procrastinating because this movie is close to two and a half hours and my brain can barely handle episodes of Scooby-Doo this week. It's good so far, but it's also not even my favourite movie I've seen this year about Ryan Gosling going to space.

Does anyone else wonder if our grandfathers are looking down on the world wondering what they did to Old Spice? “Why does it smell like panthers, marshmallow, or Batman?”

Weird gimmick cinema is back!

Josie and the Pussycats was released on this day 25 years ago 🥁

Drop some RABBITS 🐰 🖤 🐇

It's Comedy week for #ZombieSteve52 and I heard people gushing about Albert Brooks recently, but I can't remember where. It's awkward comedy, as in derived from awkward situations rather than awkwardly done, but it's still comedy.

Happy 100th to the legend. RIP.

Do I want to watch 8mm (1999) or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)?

I needed something appropriate to crack this open with, and I can’t see anything fitting a Japanese armour shaped bottle of whiskey more than the weirdness of Miike.

thank you

It's Sports week for #ZombieSteve52 and I've had this on my shelf for about a decade. I had initially debated Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India, but it's nearly 4 hours and I have stuff to do today. Maybe next year. Also, found this list if anyone needs inspiration. letterboxd.com/tarokhnstuff...

Is Chow Yun Fat’s moustache in The Killer supposed to be fake? Does the hit take place a long time after getting the contract? Does he grow it instantaneously through pure force of will like the kid from Dr McNinja?

Don't be fooled by the marketing and unfortunate release timing, this is not the Ready Or Not mockbuster it feels like it's being promoted as. A bit more hyper than I normally like, but it's a lot of fun and full of surprises.

if you are a bigot or support bigotry or act in a movie built on the profits of hate, people are allowed to not like you 1. because bigotry is bad and 2. because people generally DONT LIKE THINGS THAT HURT THEM. like this is so obvious. it is not 'canceling' it is an exercise in basic human autonomy

Happy Fuck DHL Day! aka The Criterion 50% Off Flash Sale to those of you who don't have to pay the international shipping fees.

Someone should do a study of all the "Popular reviews" on Letterboxd and estimate what percentage could be written by people who hadn't seen the movie. Not saying everyone needs to be the next Ebert, but they're almost always things like "this is my new personality" and nothing else. Guessing 93%.

It's Superhero week for #ZombieSteve52 and while I do love The Flash, I totally picked this because Kate Micucci as Zatanna seems hilarious to me.

HUH?

I'm five days behind on March Around The World and it's starting to feel like homework. I've already got five full completions under my belt, so I officially retire. To celebrate, I'm watching trash. :D

A customer at Indigo asked if I worked there. If this shirt was the uniform at any nearby bookstore, I’d never leave.

Originally paid to rent a doc for #MarchAroundTheWorld only to find out the country listed for it was just someone trying to cheat their way to a full map. Well, that's a morning wasted.

That was the most aggressive playing off I’ve seen in a while.
