When people would first meet Christopher Lee, some were put off by his armor of aloofness and authority. But it was just a protective front for a very sensitive soul. Once you got past it, he was a friend, a true friend, with incredible depths of understanding and care.
Good friends Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee during the filming of The Gorgon, laughing their asses off.

The @unboxindustries.bsky.social @transmissiontoys.bsky.social Godzilla Minus One sculpture has had it with lying around doing nothing and is finally going to catch that anti-sea mine fishing boat once and for all. Sculpture by Erick Sosa.

I don't find it totally without merit. But yeah, the well had long run dry on the Dracula series and I don't blame Van Helsing for finding a quick exit.

"FOUR?!?" reads the caption of the rightfully indignant Eric Idle in Monty Python's Life Of Brian, when he's offered the paltry amount of four.

Baba Yaga, who is definitely depicted as a witch woman with a considerable chest size, appears in Hellboy comics in 1996, about 18 years before the first John Wick.

I'll always love Jackie, but he's going to be 72 in less than half a year. I suppose neither logic nor physics are at play here.

The @unboxindustries.bsky.social soft vinyl figure of The Creature V2 from @realgdt.bsky.social Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein captures the lonely sadness of Jacob Elordi in Mike Hill's makeup design, with eyes that ask the universe "Why?" with no answer forthcoming. #Frankenstein #madebyunbox
The Unbox Industries soft vinyl figure of the "V2" Creature from Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, featuring the Mike Hill/Jacob Elordi design, sadly extends his left arm under the "Frankenstein" logo, while bathed in lurid amber, red, and UV lights. The Unbox Industries "V2" edition of the soft vinyl figure of The Creature from Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, featuring the Jacob Elordi/Mike Hill makeup design, lit on one side by amber light as he beckons with his right hand, while standing in front of the figure box that's glowing from UV light.

One of the greatest films ever about religious hypocrisy & human cruelty, a pair of crazy movies about the most badass sexagenerian Finnish commando ever, and a very important, very well-acted, very well-produced, & very by-the-numbers Hollywood history lesson.

One of my biggest guilty pleasures that's problematic as hell & I should just throw in the trash is You Only Live Twice. It's extremely dated in its racism & it's also clearly showing the Bond people (& Connery) becoming lazy & bored following their formula. But I've loved it since childhood. Shrug.

Timeline Freeze.

The Hand Of Glory, when its candle wicks are lit, renders all who see it stupified into immobility. You can't scroll to read more bad news, rotten takes, or cute animal pics. Your thumb is locked in place. You cannot move.

Might as well relax and enjoy it.

An underrated ghost story classic, a dissapointingly average Edgar Wright work for hire, the longest & most comprehensive history of one film you could ever imagine, and a classic horror comedy spoof that chooses to look up at its target instead of down.
