Skateboarding.
I've been a skateboarder for 35 years.
Slowed down a bunch in the past 3 years, but I still get out every once in a while.

A ridiculously crazy story as to how Nichols ended up directing this movie

⛈️ @firstnamebob.bsky.social · 16m

35 minutes in and nothing is happening.
It's a movie about making a movie
and it is dull / repetitive.

Nothing about this is horror, yet

Very creatively done for a teenager in Germany in 1990!
2 looks cleaner with creative effects and kills.

It's goofy and absurd, but very unique.

Just picked up the new Lung album and it's heavier than I expected.

Hard to believe this sound is created by only a cello and drums (and pedals galore)

"Look I have been with men, Several to be exact"

This is an absolute delight for all the wrong reasons.
Definitely requires the right mood and a little patience, but I loved it.

So inept it's wonderful

I could never classify this as "good" or "a movie"
and I have no idea how this director convinced his lead "actor" friend to simulate sex with a puppet for a 10 minute sequence

However,
I'm glad movies like this exist.
A dude with a big idea, little skill and less money makes it work

This one is low budget fun.
Drags a bit in the first third, but once it gets going, you've never seen a serial killer in the desert with grenades quite like this
