The first issue of DC K.O. was great!

The one thing I find quite annoying with Shudder (on Apple TV) is that I can't seem to turn off the subtitles, even though the option to do so is there. Is it some sort of bug? I find it quite distracting to watch movies when I know the language and the sub language.

Watching movies in 2025 like it's 1995, part fifteen -- I don't think it's a particularly good film, and might even have made a better episode than a full movie, but I still had fun re-watching it. letterboxd.com/jeansnow/fil...

After falling head over heals in love with Let the Corpses Bronze, I followed it up with Cattet and Forzani's Amer, their first film. Wow. It's not for everyone, and feels in fact quite experimental, but I LOVED the mood and vibe, and the giallo of it all. Terrific. letterboxd.com/jeansnow/fil...

Ever since Rebel Ridge I've been meaning to watch Saulnier's earlier films, and finally got around to Murder Party, which I believe is his first film. Unfortunately, I really didn't like it -- from the performances, to finding none of it funny (it's a horror-comedy). letterboxd.com/jeansnow/fil...

I didn't know anything about Let the Corpses Tan, or its directors, and just randomly picked it to watch on Shudder, and wow. One of the most stylistic films I've seen in years, and what comes off as feeling almost like a parody at first becomes so much more. Loved it. letterboxd.com/jeansnow/fil...

I've gotten tired of the found footage genre, but I have to admit that the V/H/S series does a great job finding new ways to explore it, and Halloween is indeed terrific. Lots of dark humor, and gory as all hell. Enjoyed all 6 of the shorts. letterboxd.com/jeansnow/fil...

Hadn't heard of Arcadian, but noticed it on Shudder and that it starred Cage, so decided to give it a go. I felt like the first hour was a bit uninteresting, but the climax was good. Do wish it had explained the apocalypse more. letterboxd.com/jeansnow/fil...

I just sent out the second edition of my monthly M31 newsletter -- chronicling my various activities in Shanghai -- and you can read it online as well via my blog. www.jeansnow.net/2025/10/06/m...

My FOTO5 from a few weeks ago for the theme "paths" (shot while I was visiting Canada, all around my parent's home).

This recipe I did last night was so good, simple chicken thighs and potatoes, yum, yum — and then of course a nice little post-dinner cheese and wine.

Almost watched Saulnier’s Murder Party tonight — and was planning on watching Green Room soon too.

Jean Snow @jeansnow.bsky.social · 5d

Same, don’t think I’ve rewatched any of them since back in the day when they first came out.

Jean Snow @jeansnow.bsky.social · 5d

Terrific milestone — congrats, 8-4!

Somehow our little company turns 20 years old today. Time is weird! Thanks and <3 to everyone who has supported us over the years~

Was thinking of revisiting some of the classic J-horror stuff this month, since there seems to be a bunch on Shudder.

Jean Snow @jeansnow.bsky.social · 5d

Tonight’s triple bill.

Tonight’s recipe: Spinach and Chicken Penne with Lemon and Parmesan.

I never liked playing games on the Wii due to the controllers (and especially motion controls), so mostly skipped playing Super Mario Galaxy (and never touched Galaxy 2). Playing it now on Switch 2, I’m having so much goddamn fun.
