Have made it to episode 15 of MOBILE COP JIBAN, “The Werewolf Loves the Piano,” in which a famous pianist is transformed into Wolfnoid and put to work composing a piece of music that drives people insane. What will Biolon think of next? #Jiban #MobileCopJiban #Tokusatsu

This is coming out too late for me to ask for it for Christmas (ditto, the Arrow 4K of EXCALIBUR, which is coming out a week later), but there is absolutely nothing preventing me from pre-ordering it for myself.
In a dark age of swords and sorcery, a wandering warrior discovers a powerful amulet that could decide the fate of a war-torn kingdom. Hunted by dark forces, he embarks on an epic quest battling monsters, magic, and his own past.

The hooded executioner's appearance in the production of Salomé in Atom Egoyan's SEVEN VEILS is the definition of fleeting (he's in all of two shots), but he is a tasty snack nonetheless.

Re-watched the Benicio Del Toro WOLFMAN last night for the first time since the year of its release and man, none of the visual effects hold up at all. (Not that I thought they were particularly good to begin with.) That janky computer-generated bear in the gypsy camp is so, so sad.

Letterboxd/Filmsky Last Four Thanksgiving
Not sure what the four-day weekend holds, but the short week leading up to it has had its ups and downs. A tribute to the late Udo Kier flanked by two movies featuring possessed hands, and a latter-day MST3K movie made on the ultra-cheap.

Classic Corner: Gamera, the Giant Monster — Crooked Marquee
Decades before it became ‘MST3K’ fodder, Gamera posed a serious challenge to Godzilla’s status as “king of the monsters.”

Paul Verhoeven’s JESUS.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

MVP of 2021's THE BLAZING WORLD: Udo Kier as Lained, the "darkest tree in the forest of light."

At the old site, I once expressed dismay that I didn’t get as many Udo Kier updates as I would like, so someone took it upon themselves to do Udo Kier alerts whenever he gave an interview or showed up in a new movie. That always brightened my day. Rest in peace.

The hooded cultists from the opening scene of 1981's DEMONOID. As this is the only scene in which they appear, the film goes downhill right after.
