Abruptio starring a puppet that looks exactly like Mike Stoklasa. I like this movie, and I hate to criticize it because it's such a unique piece of work. But I'd LOVE this movie if the final twist had just been another trick by the badguys. Weird movies are made lesser when reduced to parable.

Believe it or not, Dracula has never actually said "I vant to suck your dick!"

"To know death, you must fuck life in the gall bladder!" Flesh for Frankenstein maybe lacks the eerie sadness of Blood for Dracula, but it's one of the funniest horror movies I've seen.

The only commentary worth reading on Ozu is when you watch the movies on YouTube and click "translate" on the Japanese comments.

Udo Kier was the greatest complainer in the history of cinema. If you had him bitching and moaning about something, you had gold.

Prophetic exchange between Shinya Tsukamoto and Hideo Kojima back in 1999. Death Stranding 2 in particular has plenty of scenes that are exactly what Tsukamoto is describing. shmuplations.com/kojimatsukam...
