Now Playing: Exploring the Edgar G. Ulmer bluray recently gotten with a return to 1951's THE MAN FROM PLANET X, featuring an Alien who's design unquestionably unnerves me more than a Xenomorph ever could.

We lost one the very few who could do anything from Comedy to Horror to Fantasy to Drama just as the masters of Golden Age Hollywood could. He carried that ability to delight us for so many years & his loss is cinema's loss.

Rest Well Rob Reiner. Thank you for opening up our varied imaginations 💔

For what its worth, I love Paul Dano. I feel theres something about portions of his energy in There Will Be Blood where he seems to evoke a quiet simmering like Elisha Cook Jr. could. You arent exactly sure of the threat, but a very quiet menace lurks amid the emotions of embarrasment and insecurity

Belated snap of My Holiday Gifts to myself including a lovely new bluray from @criterion.bsky.social , a triple feature courtesy of Edgar G. Ulmer, and @kristenklopez.bsky.social 's book covering an oft negelectrd viewpoint of film. Excited to dig into it all this coming week!

Im not happy.

If the Disney/Fox merger has taught me anything, its that what will eventually follow includes limiting access to catalogue titles of the past & even outright discarding physical media circulation (unless a boutoque label pays to license). (1/2)

Jon M. Chu did it again, Wicked: For Good retained its own amazing identity while giving visual flourish that evokes the echos of an Oz from 86 years ago.

And as an extra notice: Colman Domingo did Bert Lahr proud as well. #WickedForGood

Quiet enjoyed it! Not a masterpiece, but a film that exceeds its confines into something impressive & confident. Coming to the film, one must be prepared for a terrifying tragic poem under the guise of horror mystery.

The very last moments alone had me nodding fervently with approval
