Now watching Yasuzô Masumura's Giants and Toys (1958). I've liked three of this guy's movies now (Blind Beast, Irezumi, and Red Angel) so I'm feeling good about this #Filmsky 📽️

What an oddball assortment of movies this week. I'm not sure it's right to call Hudson Hawk a 4 star movie, but I enjoyed it 4 stars worth, so that's what it gets. Anyways, you should all go see Little Amélie. #Filmsky #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday 📽️

At my dad's place helping him install a motherfucking driver for his printer

Same energy

Whenever I hear anything about "Hamnet" I imagine a dot-com bubble era company that closed in 2002 where you could go online and have hams sent to your house using the power of the world wide web

A local bar owner got some attention recently after a video of them standing up to ICE made the rounds, and now they're getting some negative reviews from conservatives. They are handling the situation very well.

One silly thing in Trails in the Sky that always gets a chuckle out of me is how you can find a cat dictionary that gives you very precise and proper translations for everything cats say in the game. For example, Antoine here just had a big adventure and now he's saying "I am beset by fatigue"

We also need to re-evaluate taking candy from babies. First off, it's VERY easy to do as babies are largely defenseless. Second of all, should babies even be eating candy? I'm doing this child's health a favor AND saving myself a trip to the candy store? Seems like everybody wins.

Basic answer, but Singin' In the Rain speaks directly to the human soul in a way few works of art are capable of. It is an immaculate creation and I refuse to spare even a little hyperbole about it

Do I know anybody who has one of those portable treadmills that they're happy with? I think I want to get one but I'm not sure which ones are any good. I'm still going to the gym, but I have so many sitty-downy hobbies that it would be a nice way to get some steps in while watching my stories.

Damn, I am without breath. I have no breath right now. (Wish there was a better way to say that)

Slow down, Bob. I can't keep up with all this stuff.

My MAHA approved doctor confirmed with me that Bloodbath at the House of Death is indeed medically accurate. This is just how necks work!

Bloodbath at the House of Death has a handful of genuinely funny moments, but it gets a bit bogged down in childish gags such as "Blind guy bumps into things" and "gay people are gay" which really hurts the laffs to duds ratio. Vincent Price only has a few scenes but they're great #Filmsky 📽️

I have been blessed with another 6am conference call, and the person running the call sounds so nervous that it sounds like she's being held at gunpoint

Depeche Mode stand proudly in chicken holding solidarity

Now watching Bloodbath at the House of Death (1984) a British horror comedy. I'm in the mood for something silly and I'll watch anything with Vincent Price in it #Filmsky 📽️

My Vinegar Syndrome movies have arrived. I'm usually pretty good at budgeting for sales like this, but the October daily deals really got my ass this year #Filmsky 📽️

Oh no, we were really hitting it off but her boyfriend just walked in and he is PISSED

I stopped at the Korean noodle place after work and SHE is here again. I don't know what to do, she's so out of my league but she keeps sending me signals 😳😍

As part of my site's 30th anniversary celebration, I've revamped the Space Quest 7 section. The page now offers a detailed look at Sierra's cancelled Space Quest VII project (1997-1999) and Escape Factory's unfinished 2002 reboot. Concept art! Leaked footage! Never-before-revealed plot details!

I feel like I'm posting too much but none of my favorite coworkers are here today and I'm so bored at work. Thank you for being my online water-cooler.

Casually checked to see when my Vinegar Syndrome sale movies might arrive and it's apparently TODAY. Hell yeah, I finally get to watch some bad movies. I've been watching too much top quality cinema lately. I need to get back to my roots.

If you make a biopic about a professional fighter that underperforms at the box office, the Hollywood cabal forces you to play a lesser Mario character as a humiliation ritual. Sydney Sweeney is about to be cast as Monty Mole or something.

Never forget.

That was lovely. Little Amélie is a very insightful exploration of young childhood that's bursting with emotional honesty. I thought it was sweet and nice and good #Filmsky 📽️

Now seated for Little Amélie or The Character of Rain. This movie looks so vibrant and unique so I'm excited to see it on the big screen #Filmsky 📽️

I've had so many coworkers who know I like horror movies come up to me and say "Have you seen that new movie where Snuffy Smith and Goopy Gear fight to the death? I bet you would love it! 🤓"

I'm a lifelong horror fan and I like to believe I've expelled all traces of snobbiness regarding the genre out of my system. HOWEVER I have absolutely zero respect for these public domain horror flicks. It's such a boring gimmick and they just keep cranking them out

"And through it all, I survive Strong heart with a stronger mind The only thing worse than fear Is having none 'cause you don't care"

I was planning on seeing Die My Love after work but the same theater is unexpectedly showing Little Amélie and I've heard nothing but good things about it. Might be changing my plans #Filmsky 📽️

This is honestly the most romantic thing you can say to somebody

That was so dumb. Really loved it. #Filmsky 📽️

Now watching Hudson Hawk. I figured this would be a good way to take a break between Chantal Akerman films #Filmsky 📽️

The lead singer of Geese sounds like Rufus Wainwright with an added pinch of Bends era Thom Yorke

I hope this one is another prequel. Having Isabelle Fuhrman return 13 years later to play a YOUNGER version of the same character in Orphan: First Kill was such a needlessly ballsy move. Somehow, they made it work, and I respect that.

In a world with disappearing third spaces, shaming people for enjoying a mundane activity publicly is vile. I can't imagine many people are actually being "performative" when they're reading, but who gives a shit if they are? Mind your own business.

"They say the recipe for piss is just ammonia and bleach. I tried to make it at home. There's more to it than that."

Hotel Monterey is 63 minutes of completely silent footage of a hotel, and it somehow manages to evoke such a strong feeling of loneliness. The oppressive silence added so much to the feeling of detachment. If you're a fan of quietly looking at hotels, you should check this one out. #Filmsky 📽️

Now watching Chantal Akerman's Hotel Monterey (1973). I'm putting my phone on the charger in the other room and I'm ready to open my heart to the magic of unconventional film #Filmsky 📽️

Blue Oyster Cult can go on and on all they want but honestly I do fear the reaper Like, a lot, I fear the reaper a lot a lot

Both Hideo Kojima and I hurt our backs and went and saw Predator Badlands anyway

I don't want anyone to lose their jobs obviously, but it's honestly surprising Funko Pops have lasted as long as they have. I've heard the Beanie Baby comparison a lot, but at least those were just cute stuffed animals. Funko Pops have looked destined for the landfill from day one

Got big and exciting plans for after work 😎 (Gonna watch Chantal Akerman silently move a camera around a hotel for 62 minutes)

There's something about OutKast and The White Stripes being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that makes me feel incredibly old. That place is for creaky old boomers, not vital young artists who just got their start uhhhhhhh 25 or 30 years ago 😬

Grok Imagine prompt: She smiles and says "I will always love you"

I never actually played Eternal Champions, but I had this magazine when I was a kid and young Brad thought the woman behind the scary wolfman guy was real hot stuff. We didn't have the internet yet so we had to work with what we had
