No one should have to watch the video.

But everyone,

fucking EVERYONE,

should have to read this.

Please someone check on @siracusa.social

Pretty sure they all work in the MiSTer core too.

I think you should take a “finally, all practical effects” victory lap here, duder. You have earned it.

Shout-out to everyone in the US who will have to deal with "It's a holiday, why are you working?" quips from the very customers who are the reasons you're working today. I see you, I love you, and I'm proud of you for not punching anyone over it.

tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

A ★ review of The Timekeepers of Eternity (2021) Listen, the source material here is miserable. The Langoliers is a bad short story, and an awful made for TV movie. Setting out to “improve it” is not a difficult task, even if all you do is re-edit it. When Timekeepers of Eternity opened with, what I can only call, the “Take on Me” filter, I thought “ahh, that’s cute - a nice play on the destruction of yesterday motif - what a clever way to open this movie.” When the filter persisted through the roughly 60 minutes of “remake” I ended the film thinking “did they make it worse.”

A ★★ review of The Chair (2022) I like youtube horror shorts. It’s cool what folks can get up to when they don’t have the pressure of a full on “production” on top of them. The chair is a cool idea. Physical Objects of Bad Mojo is a good genre. The writing here was good, the acting was not, and the ending was meh. But a cool idea.

@ckunzelman.bsky.social @ztul.bsky.social You guys need to watch The Timekeepers of Eternity for a members special.

Don’t look up anything about it.

All you need to know is that it’s a remix of the TV movie of The Langoliers.

And it is……….the most irritating thing you will ever see.

A ★★★★ review of Heretic (2024) People talk about Christian movies and roll their eyes. Shit like Soul Surfer or War Room - movies with stories and dialogue written so a 12 year old can understand them. They have no depth, they beg no questions, they pose no threat to the status quo. And it’s because the church feels such an uneasy grasp on its congregation - is so unsure of their devotion - that anything that triggers critical thinking is seen as a demonic. Anything that poses a threat to their control is heresy. Heretic is a movie about control. And it’s a movie about

A ★ review of Night's End (2022) I..uh...huh. So this is a very earnest movie. Geno Walker is great as the movie's protagonist, and does what he can with what he is given. Which isn't much. This is a covid movie. No actors share the same space, everyone communicates over zoom, and the monster is always 6 feet away from our hero. In typical monster fashion, it does not wear a mask. The crescendo of this movie is.....exceptionally dumb. On a scale of which where it strips any redeeming aspects of the movie. Michael Shannon is in this movie...and he knows. But he tries too.

Forgot to post yesterday.

A ★½ review of Ash (2025) I hope that whoever scored this movie was paid handsomely. Not because the score is particularly remarkable (it’s fine), but because it is constant. I would be surprised if there were more than 5 minutes of the movie’s 100 minute runtime that didn’t have some sort of music playing in the background. The folks making this movie had no confidence in it. Every bit of it feels amateurish. You can see the direction given to the actors in each scene - nothing feels natural. The story is fine. Did you like Life? How about The Thing? How would you feel

A ★★½ review of Tuesday (2023) Tuesday’s concept is..incredible. What if death could be reasoned with? What if death had feelings? What if death were vulnerable? What would happen if you cared for death? My rating here has more to do with where I wished the story had gone, rather than whether or not it’s a good story. It is a good story. And this is a VERY A24-ass movie. I wanted it to do other things with its premise, but what it did do wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t what I wanted.

A ★½ review of Everyone Is Going to Die (2023) So nothing in this movie really succeeds. Meh acting, dumb story, preposterous reveals, and no closure. I think the worst part is that it is just a tired concept. A remix of this has been done a thousand times, and this one doesn’t add anything interesting to the beat. However, it’s competent and doesn’t insult you, so half marks for that, I guess.

A ½ review of Within (2016) Ever wonder what a Hallmark horror movie would be like? Yeah me neither, but here we are, watching Within. It's a story about a ghost, or it is a story about squatters? Or is it both? It's a story written solely for white women. You know, like a Hallmark movie.

Let's get back on track…

A ★★★★½ review of Bring Her Back (2025) I was pretty cool on Talk to Me. It didn't really feel...I don't know...serious? It felt like a member of Meal Team Six walking back into a McDonalds to complain about the amount of Oreos in their McFlurry. It was cosplaying as a horror operator. Bring Her Back will murder your whole fucking family and claim you shot first. It is as serious as they come - a complete 180 from Talk to Me. I won't spoil it, but Jesus it's a hell of a thing. I take back everything I said and thought about Danny and Michael Philippou -

A ★★★ review of Arcadian (2024) Is it Sci Fi? Is it Horror? I dunno, it was good though. If nothing else, as someone who doesn’t really dig Nicholas Cage, I thought he was excellent in this. Early theme for this years list seems to be “Dads not fucking around.”

A ½ review of House on Eden (2025) This is the tiktok found footage horror movie, and that should be enough reason. This is not to say that tiktokers couldn’t make a horror movie - they absolutely could, anyone can - but this one is not it. It’s lazy, boring, and absolutely cookie cutter. It’s one of those situations where I’m not sure how much more in-depth I need to go to prevent creating a lazy, boring, and cookie cutter review of this movie… There is a moment in the movie (after these idiots decide they need to stay in the house that literally just tried to kill

A ★★★★ review of Weapons (2025) It is tradition that we start these things on a banger, and Weapons is no exception. I watched Barbarian last year (Zach Cregger's 2022 opus) and noted that it "fucking ripped." One of the keys, though, was that I went in with zero idea what it was about. So when trailers for Weapons dropped earlier this year, I stayed away from them. I wanted to go in with as little information as possible. Did that make this movie better? Maybe? I dunno, going in blind can be beneficial even if the movie isn't built around it (like Barbarian was). Because

It's October, so I'm back on my bullshit.

Oh god, you’re probably right.

I am probably done after this. From the 4 cards per pack to the 300+ card set (and knowing that a dual pack set is coming next), it just feels gross and predatory.

It no longer sparks joy (which sucks because I really enjoyed it at the start).

Finally.

Ok but that doesn’t answer my question.

I’ve been trying to get an answer to this: if I placed an order today, when is my expected delivery date?

I want to buy one to help folks on the MiSTer discord, but if the delivery date is next year that’s not super helpful as the heaviest support is going to be in the next few months.

Is it @atp.fm night?
