I kind of love when you come across an IMDB/TMDB bio that was clearly written by the actual person themselves. (Three guesses what movie I’m watching, no, not the obvious ones)

leaving the office and wondering how worried I should be about this storm and they are literally setting up something called an “Aquafence” in front - that can’t be good 😱

Quality SHINING knockoff. As with all good knockoffs, GHOSTKEEPER borrows freely from the original but also veers off in its own funky direction. In this case, a story about writer's block and freaky bear costumes is transformed into a folk horror tale of female empowerment and ancient evil spirits

Aha, arm has just not been healing so I finally went to an actual orthopedist and apparently this is what I did. Whole lot of PT to do in the next couple months but at least I know what the problem is now.

By the way, I dug that instead of a 22yo scream queen in this they went with the equivalent of Dennis Weaver, Yuko Natori was in her mid-thirties and at an age where she looked like she’d seen some shit, her initial reaction to the stalking and being hit on constantly is just … exhaustion.

I’ve made Ulrike Ottinger’s acquaintance and I’m a little head over heels. Ticket of No Return (1979), while inseparable from West Bloc queer counterculture (and therefore existing, or resisting, Fassbinderisms), drifts like a Rivette and Tati slow dance costumed by Demy. Completely in love.

#Watched Stranger (1991) - another banger. Unpredictable cold open leads into a low key character piece/thriller with cabbie Yuko Natori as a cab driver being Duel-stalked through the streets of Tokyo. Great Michael Mann-esque atmosphere and neon, and a terrific synth score from Yuji Ohno.

#Watched Neo Chimpira: Zoom Goes the Bullet (1990) - V cinema box set pivots hard from action/violence to indie drama/comedy and eroticism as Sho Aikawa takes the stage as a junior Yakuza facing an existential crisis. Aikawa is a baby here but he’s terrific, mixing boastful pride with sheer terror.

the wind outside keeps blowing so hard and every time it does my dog gets nervous and steps directly onto my trachea, very hard to watch kung fu movies with a paw on your trachea

So picked up the Trench Crusade Carcass Front set last night which is GORGEOUS and tried putting a Naval Raider mini, really good quality, terrific sculpt. Been slowly painting up a possible warband with a mix of random minis I have floating around. #trenchcrusade

Lau Kar-leung truly shows off his masterful choreography that combined traditional kung fu movements with acrobatic elements showcasing his speed and power which would influence future generations of action filmmakers around the world. He hooks up Hsiao Ho in MAD MONKEY KUNG FU!

#Watched Onslaught (2026) - love that Dan Stevens, despite his leading man looks, is modeling his career on the late great Brion James. Wacky costumes and terrible German accents? Lfg! This flick wears its DNA on its sleeve - John Carpenter, Nightmare at Noon, Universal Soldier, Tremors. Very fun.

Yesterday was Harry Dean Stanton's death day. Way back in 2017, when he died, I did this quick digital painting. HDS was a mold-breaker. If I'd been paying attention to the date, I'd have caught it yesterday.

#Watched Ghost in the Shell (2026) - not the arthouse cyberpunk masterpiece of Oshii or the moody noir of Stand Alone Complex, but it IS a super fun faithful manga adaptation that captures the sleazy cyberpunk charms of the original. It’s nice to see a screen version of the Major who is Having Fun.

I genuinely wonder sometimes if the internet is driving people insane or if people were always this insane and the internet just provides them a larger stage on which to purvey their madness. I suspect the latter.
