Some kind of librarian. Reader and watcher of art films, gutter trash, and other sordid tales.

Watching Man Tears: The Movie, errrr Train Dreams. I remember reading the Denis Johnson novella when it was released and getting misty-eyed then, so I'm sure it's going to happen soon!

Poster for the film Train Dreams. It's a profile shot of a bearded man (Joel Edgerton) looking towards either a sunrise or a sunset.

I love that boutique blu-ray labels have figured out that sweet spot of a neverending supply of backyard SOV movies with 𝘢𝘭𝘭 the extras. Scratches that itch of being a teen who wanted to make movies + seeing the people that actually did it!

Blood Brothers: The Mike Diana Film Collection
#filmsky
A hand holding a blu-ray. Its cover in garish yellow with blood red letter: Blood Brothers. The cover is wild with drugs and violence and scary teens.

Watching Ham on Rye and I'm starting to really appreciate the suburban goofball weirdos of Taormina's movies.

Working my way through George Wylesol's 2120 this afternoon-- a fun interactive graphic novel in the style of Choose Your Own Adventures/old school point-and-click computer games with the tinges of the modern and surreal horrors of liminal spaces.

It gave me a jump scare!
A book atop carpeting. Its cover is yellow with a man's scared face on it. Its title is 2120 and it is written by George Wylesol.

Watching Strange Harvest and probably the most disturbing thing about it is that Mr Shiny is *really* into milk.

*full body shivers*

#filmsky
Still image from the film Strange Harvest of two homicide detectives standing in front of an open refrigerator. The contents are solely quarts of milk with a Number 5 crime scene marker on the top shelf.

Watching We Need to Talk About Kevin and as someone with no kids, this just confirms that they are all really really scary.

Any Devil's Night just doesn't feel right without watching John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness. It's a requirement.

The actress Adrienne Barbeau as the character, Stevie Wayne from the film, The Fog. She is a brunette woman sitting behind a microphone in a flannel checked shirt. The subtitles read: 'Stevie Wayne, here, beaming a signal across the sea.'

It's chilly and windy and rainy out and I'm already under a blanket sitting in front of the couch and starting John Carpenter's The Fog at 6pm. I think I'm doing it right, but can you bring over the hot cocoa?
#filmsky
Title card for John Carpenter's The Fog. The words are superimposed over the rolling waves of the oceans washing ashore. It's after midnight and looks very ominous.

SCENE by Abel Ferrara. I have no idea where this is going to take me.

#filmsky
A hand holding a hardcover book. It has a black and white image of a gray haired man looking to the life. At the top of the book: 'Abel Ferrara.' At the bottom: 'Scene.' It is a memoir by Abel Ferrara.
