Since we are once again dealing with "the only silent era comedians of note were men" I feel I need to stand up for the ladies.

Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love.

The Woman Chaser (1999)

Based on a book by Charles Willeford (Miami Blues, Cockfighter), it’s a darkly funny noir-esque story of staying true to your artistic vision no matter what.

A really cool movie that for years was very hard to find.

I want you to get a fuckin' driver's manual, and I want you to study that motherfucker! Fifty-fuckin' thousand people were killed on the highways last year 'cause of fuckin' assholes like you, Charlie Brown!
it's shite being charlie brown!
Forget it, Charlie Brown, it’s Chinatown

Some movies were just made for viewing on Tubi while washing dishes.

#NowWatching Blackenstein (1973).

Look, the Blacula films are legitimately good, but I’m not expecting the same from this. Still, I am curious…

More from the Great Movie Haul! More Eastwood! More copaganda!

#NowWatching Dirty Harry.

The first and last time I watched this was in London 25 years ago. I don’t think I’ve seen any of the sequels so I’m looking forward to making my way through this set.

I’ve been off this week and almost posted this as #FolkHorrorFriday. It’s gonna be rough going back to work Monday.

Anyway, #NowWatching Witchhammer (1970)

A Czech film about brutal with trials in the last 1600s. Part of the All The Haunts Be Ours boxset.

This is super hard to follow, and I’m not entirely sure what the actual story is, only the basic outline.

But hoo-boy does this have some of the gnarliest, most impressive practical effects I’ve seen in awhile. Truly demonic.

Recommended for that alone.

Maybe time for one more horror movie before bed. I may not be able to finish it in one go, but that’s ok.

#NowWatching Deus Irae, from Argentina.

I know nothing about this, but it appears to be about exorcists, historically a genre that bores me to tears. Let’s see how this goes!

Honestly a point in favor of my theory that Poker Face would be recast because of Natasha Lyonne’s continued doubling down on making AI films.
While on tour promoting 'Wake Up Dead Man', Rian Johnson goes off on AI for “making everything worse in every single way.” bit.ly/47UBPfH

Brand new track from Snowcuffs just dropped! One of my favorite new acts of 2025.

This one slows it down a tad, but it’s still got that dreamy, shimmery, shoegaze-y sound. Good stuff.

Hoping for an LA date sometime in the near future.

I know I’m a broken record at this point, but The Frida really is the best theatre in SoCal.

It's important to boycott Uber. They will use the drones that killed children, who stood in line for flour, to deliver your food order. Do not use Uber. For anything.

Good.

Ass.

Movie.

It’s funny because I think Eastwood has pretty noxious personal beliefs, but also the films he directs are all basically him saying ‘these systems I believe in, that I support and that have made me successful… maybe they’re bad, actually?’

Fascinating.
In the mood for a western, so I pulled another from the Great Movie Haul of 2025.

#NowWatching Unforgiven.

I haven’t seen this one since it was new, which seems crazy to me. I think at the time I was more of a Tombstone fan.

All of these are terrific films to see in a theatre, but holy cow is it awesome that Ikiru is the week of Christmas!

Which also means I probably can’t make it but there’s a few in here I’ll be making time for.

Time for another one from my physical media collection that I haven’t watched since I bought it. I gotta come up with a good hashtag for these.

#NowWatching The Dark Half. Not a very well respected entry in either Romero or King’s film canon, but I dig it.

Continuing from yesterdays viewing, #NowWatching The Unnamable 2, which incorporates elements from The Statement of Randolph Carter.

It’s too bad this is the last film. It would have been hilarious to see them attempt The Dream Quest of the Unknown Kadath with this budget and skill.

Continuing to dig through the Great Movie Haul of 2025 with one I’ve never seen, despite it having an eye catching cover at the video store that I would repeatedly eye as a kid.

#NowWatching The Unnamable (1988).

Anyone seen it? Any good?

Catching up on Welcome to Derry, watching episodes 3 & 4.

After loving the horror in part two, we now get some real Casper the Friendly Ghost type shit, with some of the worst CGI I’ve seen outside of an Asylum production. Almost unwatchable.
