Watching The Abominable Dr. Phibes

The title character does have a way of making situations awkward, you could say the Phibes are o-SIR MY LEG'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BEND THAT WAY

*I still refuse to watch the Hollywood GitS movie unless I'm with friends and THOROUGHLY intoxicated

If I had a nickel for each time Perturbator's made a video for a song featuring Greta Link that looks like a better version of Ghost in the Shell than the Hollywood GitS movie, I'd have two nickels

Which isn't a lot, but it makes perfect sense to me* that it happened twice

Pretty good overall but I can't get that one cheesy goddamn song from the 60s out of my head whenever I read the album title

*I almost mistyped Tron: Ares as Tron: Arse, which fits with some of the reviews of the movie I've been seeing so far

Current headcanon: The Tron: Ares soundtrack was put out last month so NIN wouldn't have to compete with the new Perturbator release

Most of the way through my first listen of the latter, the first half is pretty slow like Lustful Sacraments was but it picks up once The Art of War kicks in

I hate that so many fans of mine still use x. It’s such a cesspool. In 10 mins alone I was shown 5 ads for ice. Really never forget what and who Elon musk is. A deranged wanna be genius Nazi. He never invented shit. He either stole and bought his way into the “genius” category.

31 Days of the Halloween Theme: Day 10

Kinda surprised Rob Zombie never put a metal spin on the theme* so this'll have to do

*I only watched part of the first RZ Halloween a couple years ago and I was drinking and not paying much attention to it at the time

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

Moving on to Mindwarp (1992)

If I sorta squint during the scenes where Bruce Campbell's fighting cannibal mutants in the post-apocalyptic wastes, I can pretend this was part of the fourth season of Ash vs. Evil Dead that we never got

Watching Starcrash (1978)

...This ain't the WORST low-budget ripoff of Star Wars I've ever seen, for two* very obvious reasons
*The second** being the dick-helmet robot with the inexplicable Southern accent
**I'm not ALWAYS joking*** about boobs
***Being stone-cold**** serious
