Gerrit Graham was one of the best things to happen to cinema for a while there. Icon. Vale.

Spent a lot of life not connected to the things that were landing. Now there's things that cause feelings landing all over. Dorohedoro. The Apothecary Diaries. Cyberpunk. Started watching KPop Demon Hunters & it was fine but it just made me want to watch Kojima Wants zto Be A Kamen Rider..

The best thing about Drive is that an Andy Milligan fanboy managed to have a weirdly large impact on culture. Which is only just. Not so weird thought while watching KPop Demon Hunter.

It has been a wild year. Tomorrow night I am seeing @health.band live again. A year ago on Kirkmas eve I was listening to Ordinary Loss on repeat while watching dailies for Dog Park. Life is strange and we don't know why. Such a vibe. #animelife

Have you ever just talked about José Mojica Marins for 2 hours? It's wild, I recommend it. You'll feel so expansed afterwards.

I just read the manga & it electrified me. The anime is amazing but the manga is a call to arms. Nausicaa forever.

If your kink is extras eyeballing the camera then you should definitely watch all of José Mojica Marin's films.

This is the story of how I just fell in love with Vincent Price all over again. Fully supported his daughter when she came out to him and openly supported the lgbtq+ community, which in his day, was horribly vilified. Excellent human! www.boom.lgbt/vincent-pric...

At Midnight I Will Take Your Soul & There Will Be Blood is a great double feature. Two men of the dirt who believe they stand tall above all others, who have no need for others beyond what they can take from them. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, our world is doomed while their ilk call the shots.

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

I haven't watched Chainsmoker Cat yet but I keep having the 'Kein Mampf' joke pop into my head. Absorbing that series via the internet is a real weird time.

I feel like the people pining over Blockbusters do not remember how bad for movies Blockbuster was. Think most major films these days are made for adult babies? That's Blockbuster's legacy and their ability to get studios to sanitize their films. Pine for your local video store instead

I’ll be brave enough to say it: #Insidious Out of the Further is the best PG-13 horror release of the year so far. There are some absolutely killer set pieces that overcome some of the story’s cornier aspects — but man, this is such a fun watch with a crowd. www.slashfilm.com/2239851/insi...

I probably should have figured out what band this t-shirt is representing before I wore it to work. Random find in Japan. Anybody know? I still can't figure it out. Rhythm? Is that a T? #metal

A t-shirt design written in creepy metal font that kinda looks like an owl's face. Text unknown. Is that an R and a H and Y and H and M?

Some additional information on Abdication... Cass is a character and Control makes an appearance. Commander Thistle, too. Another character from the series also returns. Plus the Shroud of Ghost Bird, a relic that constitutes the sacred remains of her uniform, takes on an occulted significance.

I had a real strange time with a double feature of Super Mario Bros. (1993) & Beverly Hills Cop 3 (1994) last night. The 1980s were drawing to a close (for a time), gasping a last ridiculous breath in the twisting winds of 90s meta. Films simultaneously exuberant & bankrupt, flailing against time.

Attended a rally against racism today. Listened to excellent speakers of diverse backgrounds bringing insight & power. & then the Socialist Alliance speaker killed the vibe while badly repeating everything that was already said. 20yrs since I last engaged with them & they're still the same.

Taking a break from Dorohedoro to check out the much more chill The Killings At Parrish Station, which I keep referring to as The Incident At Parrish Gate because I am old and it seems likely that film was at least somewhat of an influence.

The Cyberpunk2077 song/short Let You Down - Dawid Podsiadło is remarkable. Layers of sadness. Generational failure/hope under corpo spire. The violent wall & the moment standing before it; hope to make the right choice & for it to have meaning. A Netrunner Darkly. The gift of sacrifice in $ world.

Finished reading Gunnm aka Battle Angel Alita. I was surprised by how clearly influenced by 2000AD style & tone it was (Kishiro names Simon Bisley as an influence in interviews). Gets a bit unmoored in the later sections, but the social & body horror still hits hard & real.
