Primate: it's going to be a hit, I think, and it's very effectively done but it's not my cup of tea at all. Kind of a mashup of Cujo and Bodies Bodies Bodies, if that's your thing.

Recap of day one of the After Dark Film Festival!

Not Today: one of those shorts that's just telling a joke, but it's a funny joke.

Queens of the Dead: a celebration of queer joy but with zombies, total crowdpleaser, amazing cast.

Meat Crayon: a gross and surreal short, which I loved...

Also, when you are saying goodbye here you say "catch you on the flippity-flop". And anything bad should be described as "harsh realm".

rolling around on the couch is goated when being a goofball is the vibe

So far, I have helped other people in line identify the movie they were trying to describe (Psycho Goreman) and the song that was playing when we entered the theatre was Goodbye Horses. I am having a Good Time.

I think all evil cars should be called Christines and we should have Christine movies like we have vampire movies. Oh no, a Christine!

At least MK 2 has Karl Urban in it, that's not nothing.

Are ‘Black Phone 2’ and ‘Blue Moon’ Five Baggers? How do these new fright-fests stack up with the classics?

Plus, big things are afoot with father G Amato's estate and a brand-new advance in movie sorting technology has arrived from the VFA Labs in On Cinema Season 16 Ep 3 🍿

Version 2.0

Cat has now pivoted to his side, showing his glorious tan belly floof, and has wedged his upside-down head between the load-bearing cushions.

My dear, dopey son is trying out new forms of napping while I am away.

Fritzi, a large grey longhaired tabby cat, has his rear end balanced on the back of our couch but is on a 45° angle and so his front end is lower and propped up by cushions. It all looks very precarious.

*nodding wisely* Ah yes, Ghost Origami.

On Golden Blonde is pretty elegant.

Title aside, how is it?

It's like when James Ellroy riffs on the house style of 50s showbiz tabloids except much, much worse.

I've only seen it as a ultra-shitty transfer that looked like a 3rd gen VHS rip and loved it. Can't imagine how amazing it would be cleaned up and colour balanced.

Thrilled that we're getting a fifth volume of the Scorsese World Cinema releases, but I wonder what happened with that restoration of Badou Boy that was making the rounds last year. I had thought it would be a logical addition to a potential v. 5.

Ah yes, during the famous "Joan of" arc.

As with everything with this garbage tech and its garbage fans I think it's probably parsable as "want to see a Marilyn ghola do the nude scenes that Emilia Clarke was pressured into doing against her better judgement?" Two exploitations for the price of one.
