My favorite thing about discovering the frat guy sports league charms of World Chase Tag—the sport is sponsored by Zaxby’s!

I feel like, as far as LETHAL WEAPON-sploitation goes, CURRY AND PEPPER is more worth my time than the more recent WRECKING CREW, but I guess I'll see that at some point, too.

Bluesky may be slow today, but today’s Kim’s Video marathon is going well enough…

Hold all my calls.

Something’s coming……

Thanks! That commentary was recorded for the previous release and got rolled over. Which is nice since that doesn’t always happen with special features (ex: new GREAT SILENCE Blu doesn’t have my old liner notes essay).

That DIVA 4K has my audio commentary on it! Hope you both enjoy anyway lol

THE LASER MAN features, among other things, a loft in (or simply with an exterior of) Anthology Film Archives that seems to be a parody of the one from Beineix’s DIVA??

Incorrect. (I didn‘t tell Rotten Tomatoes to do anything)

Now I’m watching HENRY FONDA FOR PRESIDENT.

"He says that you're the first person ever to refuse a promotion. He thinks you should see a doctor!"

Thanks, Craig. I mostly liked ZERO THEOREM, though I haven't rewatched it yet, so who knows....

Make it a DELIVERANCE-sploitation double feature with RITUALS (1977)!

How 'bout JUST BEFORE DAWN?

A ★★★★★ review of Brazil (1985) When I was 13, this was the film that made me want to Get Serious about watching films. "Brazil" means even more to me now that I know a little bit about creator Terry Gilliam, and his relationship wi...

I‘m convinced that this movie’s traumatizing finale still lingers in many viewers‘ minds because we all know that Sam Lowry is a coward and doesn’t really deserve happiness. I wrote a little about that here:

Rewatching BRAZIL, a load-bearing favorite since I was 13 years old.

It’s unusual, but in very endearing and exciting ways.

Speaking of Peter Wang, THE LASER MAN stars his CHAN IS MISSING co-star Marc Hayashi.

Now watching: Peter Wang’s THE LASER MAN (1988). With a theme by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Jene didn’t like it though, which frustrates her because she’s having trouble articulating why.

When they all should let me beeee

I’m sorry?

Omg, it’s amazing. I was lucky enough to see the first half or so at the Spectacle Theater here in Brooklyn and it knocked me on my ass. Some of Ashley’s collaborators were in attendance, too. It was very special.

It’s ELLA MCCAY time.

/Big/ Unibroue fan, and La Fin du Monde in particular! (Trois Pistoles right after that)

There was a very pleasant mixup and I got a copy of DELUGE (1933) despite not having contributed anything to that release. Still, a new Richard Harland Smith audio commentary?? Even better!

Excited to receive contributors’ copies of the 2025 Kino Lorber blurays that I recorded audio commentaries for. Look at them. Look at them!!
