Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I loved (always, forever) Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026). Delightful. On a technical level, the set design and matte paintings(I think, right?) were just so cool. Also Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson are allowed to run me over with a car, like if they want to, no worries if not. 130

Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I was prepared for The Slumber Party Massacre (1982) to be tawdry and exploitative, but wow it's really tawdry and exploitative. Fascinating that it was written (by a renowned feminist author & activist!) as an over-the-top parody of trashy slashers and then got made as a straightforward picture. 030

Congrats to the wonderful weirdos who raised me and my sisters. None of us went MAGA and none of us are imprisoned. Great success! 050
Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I had a dream that they made a new episode of The Sopranos in which the big domestic conflict was that A.J. had been assigned The Many Saints of Newark as homework, but still hadn't watched it. Tony and Carm were very upset with him. 010

Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Carl Theodor Dreyer's Vampyr (1932) sort of reminds me of an old school point and click adventure game in the best way. Close to a silent movie, it creates an incredibly eerie mood. Easy to see why Tarkovsky and del Toro both love it, but I think Lynch probably owes something to it as well. 011

Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I'd forgotten just how great Army of Darkness (1992) is. Just before skeletal Evil Ash gets blown up (spoilers) his whole skull expands and blows like a steam whistle. Absolutely incredible stuff, marrying early film comedy, Looney Tunes gags, swashbuckling adventure, and 80s horror. A masterpiece. 010
Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The Uninvited (1944) is a very well made gothic ghost story. Lots of classic spiritualist/haunting elements, which undoubtedly influenced a ton of genre pictures afterward. Really great effects for the time and some actually spooky bits. Great cinematography. 010
Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 21/09/2026great job StubHub, great job (to be fair, I am going to see Violent Femmes, but StubHub doesn't know that) 010
Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It's taken me far too long to get around to Attack the Block (2011), a very entertaining pre-adaptation of the "me and my friends/E.T." tweet by @hellocullen.bsky.social with Cornetto trilogy x Predator 2 sensibilities. A real shame that Boyega's talent was squandered in the Star Wars sequels. 031
Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 19/09/2026A major gap in my film-watching resume was Raging Bull (1980). What a picture. No wonder every modern actor does stupid method shit for roles now. (Just to be clear I was shaking my head and mouthing "no" to show my disapproval of a lot of the problematic content, but *holy shit* what a picture!) 050
Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I don't really know anything about The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), other than cast & crew. Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman make a very handsome couple, I hope there's nothing weird about their relationship 000

Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Return to Sleepaway Camp (2008) is a bizarre, misguided entry in the series, a derivative direct-to-video legacy sequel that manages to retain much of the off-kilter, The Room-esque energy of the original, but with little of the campy charm. 000

Chris B @cjosephbea.bsky.social · 09/09/2026New York, New York (1977) is a movie that relies on the "3 C's" of film-making: * Cast * Craft * Cocaine Sadly I think the third element outweighs the first two by a fairly significant margin. 021
