I’m playing catchup, just finished Dream Warriors

Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994)
Craven's meta-horror dress rehearsal sees Freddy clawing his way out of the movies and into real life, stalking Heather Langenkamp as herself, before properly cracking the code two years later with Scream.

I really had a Rocky V experience with it in 92 - I saw it at the flix and on my own, and I just couldn’t process what a bleak downer it was. There are things I rather admire about it now with the benefit of such distance and subsequent efforts (let’s call them that).

Alien 3 (1992)
Dir. David Fincher
Crippled by studio meddling & rewrites, Fincher's debut kills off fan favourites offscreen, strands Ripley on a lice-ridden prison planet, and delivers a bleak, brutal chapter that’s as fascinatingly flawed as the chaos that birthed it.

I bought this big beautiful PELI Protector 1690 Transport Case and am gutted that it’s just too big for my needs.
What a thing of joy it is though, amazing piece of kit

Finally gathered all the components to build my new ampless stage rig:

Super impressed with my new Nanuk 935 case.
Expensive perhaps, but if you want your gear protected; this is how you do it.

As a lifelong Silver Surfer fan, I was initially not thrilled about the Shalla-Bal version featuring in the new movie.
However, as Norrin Radd remains available as the Earth 616 Surfer; I am hopeful that Marvel’s plan is to reveal him later in a more significant capacity.
