A strange adventure where the cutting edge of science meets the unstoppable force of the sofa.

Gryphon in Clan Space Weeb colours for #battletech. The shoulder plates are supposed to look like ablative armour,rather than fixed body parts, and I'm quite proud of how the "one layer of red over a solid silver, leaving the silver showing at the edges" technique conveyed that.

Logically speaking, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023), is the most realistic of the movies. If you could sufficiently train four prime-of-adolesence humanoid turtles to the levels of kung-fu movies, they would absolutely kick that exact amount of arse.

I love that, for all the changes made to enhance the Netflix #Ranma1/2 reboot, they have stuck to the core principle that every character is a fucking idiot. Smoother story, clearer goals, less filler, twice as much dumbass.

SubSpecies is a very dull film with a couple of moments of really okay horror effects. SubSpecies 2 has even less plot going on, such that the best version of it is the 5 minutes recap at the start of SubSpecies 3. And, incredibly, SubSpecies 3 is even duller with less plot.

So far, #FiveNightsAtFreedy's (2023) answer's the question, "What if Roald Dahl wrote a big budget teen slasher for a huge wadge of cash?"?. I never played the game before, so I can't say if it's a good adaptation of the game or its story and themes; I'm just saying it might not suck as a movie.

Thanksgiving (2023) has both Opinions and A Message. They're written in well chewed crayons, but they are proud of them. I Know What You Did Last Media Cycle for the young horror enthusiasts whose favourite slasher is Capitalism.

Basil Rathbone, Lon Chany jr, John Carradine, Bela Lugosi, and Tor Johnson in one film‽ The Black Sheep (1956) says "yes!", so I'm going in....

I can't help but think that I'd have enjoyed #Wednesday season two part one a heck of a lot more if it wasn't so focused on being a hook for part two and laying the foundations for series three, four, and onwards.

In Crash! (1976), the slasher is a possessed car. The setting is low-budget Euro Spy, with talent, effort, and ingenuity on display a5 all times. Very silly, very cheap, very fun: a contemporaniouse daytime soap-opera remake of a 50s horror. Not postmodern, just using tropes for maximum wallpapering

Affleck & Bertnthal are magnificent in the 2025 retelling of Waiting For Godot. Finally, a film daring enough to ask "what if Jason Voorhees was socially useful??".

This 1975 French sci-fi is so "of it's era, we're 20 minutes and two light jazz rock music videos in and are skipping towards plot.

Head (1968) is The Monkees attempting to escape their TV show image by recreating their TV show and going "we're not like that!" every 10 minutes, which is fine as their TV show is great fun. The people watching it kept going "they stolen that from [film made after it came out]", so it had impact.

I turned away for five seconds and now I have no idea why the space lesbians landed in Flying Saucers Over Istanbul (1956). It's so majestically indifferent to your petty demands for reason, each frame is a master class in hitting an as effortlessly identified emotional tone like an angry god.

Watching the fourth Exorcist film, not because I expect it to be good but because I'm just in the mood for a super natural drama with the production values of a BBC Agatha Christie. Well, that and I mistook Stellan Skarsgård for Jon Pertwee on the Netflix picture.

The Trip (1967): the word groovy is said every five seconds, the cannabis is so strong you get wrecked off half a puff, and the Ring Wraiths have suddenly turned up for a bit of a stroll.
Good fun and surprisingly reminiscent of a New Romantics music video.

As the latest attempt at an #Akira rehash is (thankfully) abandoned, here is a reminder that They Cloned Tyrone (2023) is the spiritual successor to Otomo's masterpiece.

When the weather is like this, the only sensible thing to do is watch a film about a robot with a skull for a face. Tobor The Great (1954) has a magnificent poster and a 3 minute long monologue over stock footage as its opening. Strap in, this is going to be a ride!

I agree with Israel that murdering civilians because of the actions of a state is morally wrong. I just think it applies to all people, not just Israel.

Kill Your Friends (2015) isn't perfect, but there is something utterly watchable about Nicholas Hoult looking murderously at people who are pig ignorant about modern music. James Corden being brutally and sadistically murdered on screen is another plus.
