Very fun Italian Zombie Schlock. Still after all these years, I still saw something in this zombie flick that I’d never seen in a zombie flick before. 3.5/5

Now watching Zombie 3 (Zombie Flesh Eaters 2) (1988)

Two big changes and this would have been quite good, but as it stands, it’s just ok. Daisy was great. Wait for streaming. 3/5

Now seated for We Bury The Dead

A man who lost his memory reconnects with his wife in an effort to get his memories back, then people start trying to kill them. This Giallo starts pretty slow, but the finale sells the whole thing. Pretty damn good. 3.5/5

Now watching Puzzle (1974)

Delirium: Photo of Gioia 1987

Rewatching Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972)

Gialli Tally Update #4 Death Occurred Last Night, Almost Blue, Watch Me When I Kill, 9 Guests For A Crime = Very Good Byleth, LaNotte Del Mio Primo Amore = Good Special Killers, Two Faces Of Fear = OK Crime Of Passion, Murder In A Blue World = Bad Darkness Surrounds Roberta = Shit Nobody Likes

This 90’s Giallo is an incredibly cheap and rushed production that even the great David Hess couldn’t save. 2/5

Now watching Murder In The Blue Light (1992)

My most watched Actor and Director for 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

This made for TV Soapy Giallo is very of its time (director in love with S7EVEN/Score is random metal riffs), but it’s pretty decent for what it is. It’s also a surprisingly mild PG13, so you can watch it with your mom. 3/5

Now watching La notte del mio primo amore (2008)

Happy New Year. May it be less stupid than the last.

Caught on kitty cam.

My most watched Actors and Directors this year.

I’m listening to a bunch of Bowie tracks I’ve never heard and it’s crazy how much She Shook Me Cold sounds like early Black Sabbath. They came out the same year (Bowie’s the latter), so theft is unlikely, but it’s interesting that they came to the same conclusion at the same time.

Visited a new record store today. The selection was very small in terms of what I look for, but the prices were incredible. I paid less than half of what I should have for these.

Some Christmas swag

Russell Brand has been charged with two further offences of rape and sexual assault, the Met Police has confirmed

Worst Rap/Pop song of 2026 incoming.

This is not good for the species: Therapy/companionship = #1 use of AI hbr.org/data-visuals...

😂 😂 😂

Very satisfying watching one of the early villains of the social media age get his jaw broken in 2 places.

Found out my partner has never seen The Wall, so we’re watching that tonight.

It took a minute, but I finally picked up Black Tape For A Blue Girl: As One A Flame Laid Bare By Desire. Now I have every major vinyl release (except The Rope which is getting a anniversary edition) I’m pretty sure I bought all but one of these directly from the band. @projekt.bsky.social

They did a very nice job.

Picking up her ashes today :(

This kinda bs is why I’m going back to collecting physical cook books. I don’t need non stop pop-up ads while I’m trying to skip your vacation blog to find a recipe!

Rob Reiner had some shit politics, but he made a few films really enjoyed. I can at least appreciate that.

Possibly the 2nd worst thing Joan ever did was write a cookbook.

I laughed out loud a handful of times, but the rest of the film was quite a chore to get through. 2.5/5

Now watching Evil Laugh (1986)

A woman slowly unraveles and nobody is listening. This was anxiety inducing and very good. You can tell this director loves Eraserhead. 4/5

Now watching If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (2025)

Just spent an hour taking apart my record player and recalibrating the speed so I could listen to a experimental dark ambient record at the proper speed.
