Watch with wonder as I mainly post about movies, giant Japanese superheroes, and art/commission stuff!

Thinking back to last night, I'm always in the search for that nostalgic childhood feeling of discovering something weird and forbidden on TV at 3am. I get that every year with Justin's marathon and this is the one this year. Genuinely unsettling and creepy stuff!

MOVIE #15 - You want to watch an "animated" horror manga adaptation made on a computer in the 90s? OF COURSE YOU DO. Feast your rotting eyes on YUMEJI TANIMA’S SCREAM THEATER (1999)

I don't know if you've watched any other ones in this series but Lizard Baby is a lot of fun.

MOVIE #8 - What if we re-edited a movie down to its bare bones and inserted scenes from anime adaptations as if it were part of the same series? Well, that would be GUYVER: HYPER DARK HERO MEGAMIX.

Some RAD stuff happening on @declouxj.bsky.social's marathon right now.

The closest I can think of is perhaps a Titas movie.

Love that most of my posts consist of one or more of the following subjects:
-movies
-tokusatsu
-muscles

It's a thing of beauty if I ever find a way to make all three into one thing. I like to think I have a lot of depth. 🥸

A blood-splattery action picture from Takanori Tsujimoto, who has gone on to direct a whole bunch of Ultraman stuff in the past decade! I'm locked the heck in.

Movie #3: Who wants some splatter action filmmaking with a meditative bent? It's HARD REVENGE MILLY (2008)

The next 24 hours of my life have been decided. I'm couch-bound. 🛋️

Justin Decloux @declouxj.bsky.social · 1d

Here is the schedule for today's 24-Hour Horror Movie Mind Melter happening at secretcinematheque.com.

Busiris @busiris.bsky.social · 1d

Enjoying a spooktacular @whmpodcast.bsky.social commentary double feature this evening. 😎🔪

I used to live within a 5-10 minute walk from this location when I lived in college too. But to be fair, I doubt I'd have appreciated it then like I would now.

Speaking of Pittsburgh (re: my earlier post), WTF, why does all the nice stuff happen after I leave the area??? >:C

Busiris @busiris.bsky.social · 2d

You'll know there's no such thing as a good billionaire because none of them have bought the mall themselves to restore it to its 70s glory and then turn into a museum.

Busiris @busiris.bsky.social · 2d

I somehow haven't learned my lesson with Amazon but this might be my moment, haha.

Busiris @busiris.bsky.social · 2d

I guess they gotta pinch those pennies so they can afford their generic name change. Meanwhile, they also don't produce enough copies for everyone that pre-ordered it, lol.

Via @bloody-disgusting.com on Twitter -
Pretty bummed that, in the decade of me living in Pittsburgh, I only went there once and I didn't actually explore the mall. I might need to consider checking it out when I visit the area before it's gone forever. 😭

Busiris @busiris.bsky.social · 2d

Amazon: "Hey, that Ultraman Blu-ray you pre-ordered came out this week."
Me: "Oh, awesome, when do you think you'll be getting it to me?"
Amazon: "LMAO ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but thanks for shopping!"

Busiris @busiris.bsky.social · 2d

But I have to ask, did you and any coworkers get to race?

Busiris @busiris.bsky.social · 2d

I have so much work to do this evening.
The work:

Busiris @busiris.bsky.social · 2d

Story of my Family!!! is a bit of a strange Covid-era dramedy with some fun wrestling elements but mostly about traditional Noh acting. Similarly, Tiger and Dragon features rakugo storytelling with a very Kazuma Kiryu-coded yakuza main character.

Busiris @busiris.bsky.social · 2d

Genuinely one of the biggest surprises of Justin's marathon from last year. Plus it was an introduction for me to the same creative team behind these two Japanese shows I started watching on Netflix recently that I'd wholeheartedly recommend. 💪

Busiris @busiris.bsky.social · 2d

If it's anything old-school tokusatsu-related, I'm there 1000%, baby. 😎

I became aware that applications for the Namahage festival open in a couple months and now I'm once again planning hypothetical trip scenarios online for something I'm not even certain I'll be able to attend.

Busiris @busiris.bsky.social · 3d

Glad you like! :3

Another spoooOOooOOky #ThrowBuThursday over here. Oh noooo, it's zombie Bu!! 😭 This is a convention sketch from back in 2018 by the consistently amazing and wonderful @87octane.bsky.social!
