Trying one of the better known Nikkatsu Roman Porno films. Watcher in the Attic (1976, Noboru Tanaka). The short story is a fun one and I loved A Woman Called Sada Abe from the same director and star - Junko Miyashita.

Ended up watching Airplane with parents to cheer them up

Watched Mermaid in the Manhole, I forgot about how it all turns out. Some parts of it are still uncomfortably beautiful to me and others feel awful, double feature with Marebito could be very upsetting

That was the whole point of crypto coins. Making dodgy purchases

Plan for the weekend is to be mostly in the caravan and watch fucked up films and make music. Hoping no one tries to pull me out

Slept in for the first time in days. No puppy to wake me up. Half lovely half crap

I can see that. Horrors of Malformed Men is a favourite of mine and I wouldn't mind doing that one day

Cool little fact - the lead (although that's debatable) Yoji Matsuda played the kid sidekick in Kamen Rider Amazon

Yep, Dogra Magra one of the best horror films or films at all I've ever seen. Near ruined me.

Pacing around the house and feeling like my guts are going to come out of my eye sockets because of how delicious this horror is. It's a good job I don't go to the cinema and watch almost everything alone. Pausing films to stare at the walls because the beauty is too much. I blame the autism.

Makes me feel ill and creatively motivated which is the main reason I keep pausing this brilliant film. I can't sit still watching it with everything it's doing to my head and turning my stomach. Clearly essential to watch Matsumoto's experimental short films with how unconventional the editing is

Decided to go for this finally instead of watching anything cheery

Worcestershire Sauce I mean, fuck. I don't like the stuff but when it's my home county I should probably know this shit

Jim R @jimmyr.bsky.social · 1d

Making this sauce outside of Worcestershire seems fucked up to me. Though I'm guessing Lea & Perrins probably make Worcester Sauce somewhere else now

French's Worcestershire Sauce - 1 Gallon is $6.89 on Amazon buff.ly/RQQye6O #ad

Recording songs and getting somewhere with it. Can't figure out the music part but words and singing is coming easily. One inspired by Mermaid in a Manhole so I've got to see that again

From yesterday youtu.be/Yj-iKqdp7sc

I used another short of mine to make something that's barely there. I like it. Silent for now, maybe there's music it'll pair well with

Hints - Jim R (short film, contains flickering lights)

On a personal note I've got a strong feeling that if I'd been mentally unstable as the AI push began I would have ended up in a position something like this. If I was alone with psychosis, if I started chugging cough medicine and other things again. I'd get totally AI brained and rot

Jim R @jimmyr.bsky.social · 2d

I didn't read any of Morrison's work until I was 29 at the earliest probably 30 so the love for it is still fresh. This is the kind of justification for using AI I would expect from them tbh. Lot of interesting, fun and strange ideas in their writing but not the brightest person around

The IFS always being referred to as experts and not the bunch of right wing freaks they actually are is quite sickening

I hate stairs. 6 years of living without them changes you

Jim R @jimmyr.bsky.social · 3d

Dreading what they might have said after all the AI nonsense. I did all my Grant Morrison reading in my early 30s which is probably a bit late

I just stick all the week's leftovers in a big pot and make a gravy-soup, it's kind of a mix, for next week's dinners
