Now seated in the VERY old-school Vic Theatre for PREDATOR BADLANDS.

ABRAXAS, GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE (1991)

MESSAGE FROM SPACE (1978)

INTERFACE (1984)

MIND KILLER (1987)

I have 3 hours and 15 minutes left to watch after work, AND my wife just texted to tell me she made a Pavlova, so tonight is going to rip.

Didn't expect to see my personal Paradise on a BlueSky post

It was my choice for "Continue my kids GF's movie education" tonight, decided to introduce them to a little glass-smashing Jackie action.

One hour in, and yes, this is ESSENTIAL viewing.

Running time: 306 minutes. 😶 Yeah, I'm adding this to the watchlist.

First cocktail-on-the-deck of Speing, and I think I NAILED a Spicy Coriander Margarita. The secret ingredient was one drop of Culley's Ghost Pepper hot sauce (along with Maldon sea salt in the shaker) #cocktails #MargaritaTine #GoddamnSon

THE Predator did have one good thing going for it. The, in one case LITERALLY, baller Chinese posters.

Kash Purr-Tel.

I want one, and I'm naming it "Pop".

The best Chinese food I ever had was from a restaurant where ever member of the staff glared at us like we pissed in their cornflakes that morning.

BEASTMASTER 2: THROUGH THE PORTAL OF TIME (1991)-If Marc Singer doesn't have a framed copy of this up in his den, he's doing it wrong.

HUNDRA (1983)-The classic "Who left that piece of Lego there?" face.

THE BLADE MASTER (1984)-"Fear my lopsided pecs!"

Thai poster for THE FIRST VAMPIRE IN CHINA (1986)

Watched WEAPONS last night, and the most unsettling thing for me was the PERFECTLY full and faced-up shelves of the liquor store tacking shot. Not sure if it's was intentional, but for a wine store veteran, it's Uncanny Valley stuff.

RADIOACTIVE DREAMS (1985)

DIXIE DYNAMITE (1976)

MAN-TRAP (1961)

CARSON CITY (1952)

I haven't even seen the teaser, but the poster has sold me instantly.

I started making up my Criterion Channel watch list yesterday, and apparently it's just RASHOMON and every movie Johnnie To ever fucking made

My wife asked if there was going to be a baby predator in Badlands and says she wants a Grogu style baby predator plush.😆

This is not my image but seeing them all lined up like this implies that all the predators we have seen leading up to “Predator: Badlands” have suffered from the alien equivalent of male pattern baldness.

1987 Predator was definitely a Trust Fund kid, dropped off by dad, shooting dudes in the back, stumbling blindly into traps. Bet he capped Billy from a distance, too.

#NowWatching EYES WITHOUT A FACE (1960)

Movie Education continues for my kids Main Squeeze. Tonight, they requested this family favourite.

Gentlemen, what's preventing you from dressing like this?

Going "Godzilla-adjacent"... #NowWatching THE MYSTERIANS (1957)

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound/ He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down #Godzilla

It's a good day to be a Godzilla fan

Godzilla: *does a big roar* Me: "ooooo BIG ROAR!" *tries to pet Godzilla's belly and gets stepped on*

For Godzilla Day, we replicated the look of his atomic breath by getting our lizards hooked on Newport menthols.

My day off, so it's breakfast, coffee and a Criterion commentary for a certain movie.

🔥 HAPPY GODZILLA DAY 🔥

ROLLERCOASTER (1977)

THE HUMAN FACTOR (1975)

PLAY DIRTY (1969)

Italian poster for the noir BRUTE FORCE (1947) Directed by Jules Dassin Starring Burt Lancaster - BOTD in 1913

They're eventually going to divide zero by Godzilla and break maths.

I am now back for the 24-hour marathon with my fellow awesome nerds, and it was excellent. As is the recovery coffee.

The fact they posted this on the day I'm going to a 24-Hour Movie Marathon does feel slightly like a personal attack. 😄😄

It's a non-traditional Halloween flick, but I'm happy with my choice of God's Perfect Movie tonight

I'll be honest, I totally forgot this one even existed...
