Was just joking last week about being glad that the holidays were coming, b/c maybe there would be a slight respite from all the health issues my wife & I have been suffering from....and then our senior dog had a vestibular event & now our 1 year old cat is having to go to the ER.

2025 really sucks

Christopher Walken had a wild 1995, showing up in THE ADDICTION, NICK OF TIME, THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU'RE DEAD, yet it's THE PROPHECY that always sticks out in my mind as he primps, preens, and peacock struts his way through every scene

The rest of the movie is equally nuts and entertaining

That feels like someone took the wrong message from those "The Long Walk Treadmill" screenings

If you get a chance, I highly recommend making your way to your local indie (or mainstream, if you must) theater & take in the delight that is DEATHSTALKER! Caught it as part of my remote Fantastic Fest coverage & thoroughly enjoyed the retro feel & gore on display

Been curious to revisit this film since I first saw it at Cinepocalypse in 2019. I just remember that it starts out dark & mean, before taking a left turn into some crazy & gonzo stuff.
Curious to see how it holds up.
Now Watching: BELZEBUTH

I needed something lite & fun to put on, so I'm showing my wife DEADSTREAM for the first time. She's a fan of several Twitch streamers, I'm very interested to see what she thinks!

THE ADDICTION is a movie that's long stayed in my head, even though I've only watched it a couple times. The flow of the dense dialogue, the lighting and b&w photography, Lili Taylor just crushing it, how Walken says "nothing" & "defecate", the repeated power dynamics. One of Ferrara's best films.

Can only hope it's like those tech start up bubbles where everyone goes big on their own thing only for them all to crumble

In each of the big AI talks this week there's the same line that AI creators tout "xx is not meant to replace traditional actors/directors/movies," to which I have to foolishly ask "then what's the point?" are the AI avenues being mentioned for attention, clout or what? It's all bad & should go away

I've had a couple screeners fail the last couple of days. Deathstalker must save me.

Adrian Torres @yoadriantorres.bsky.social · Sep 21

We both should definitely try to make a return next year. I got your back for sure.

Oh wow, from Donator's mouth to my ears. This is what I hoped to hear! Might not be able to see it on a big screen, but may be the screener I start Sunday off with!
