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.

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.

The four that are left after this are:

German Chainsaw Massacre (last of the bonus movies)

Bones and All (last of the book adaptations)

St. John's Wort (free pick)

Queens of the Dead (last of the zombie movies! Directed by Tina Romero! Starring Katy O'Brian and Jack Haven! Tomorrow night!)

Hooptober film 30! Entering the home stretch. It's my pick for the year 1932. Q: Are we not men? A: We are...

Island of Lost Souls boxd.it/25TS

Island of Lost Souls (1932)

Mass market paperbacks were the very best book form humanity has ever invented and it’s a travesty and a crime against the book-reading public that they have disappeared.
