EASTER SECRET SCREENING EVENT Get weird with Killer Fitness for a debaucherous Easter Sunday

All of the screenings at Killer Fitness are super fun and worth going to, but I know what this secret screening is and itโ€™s super exciting. Probably of special interest to a few of my mutuals. Itโ€™s gonna have the audience looking like this photo.

Realizing that this movie, and my obsession with it, would probably be Exhibit A in the case for my bisexuality.

I mean, that endingโ€ฆ

The entire film is mythic in a classical sense, where the moral of the story seems clear but also a bit alien from our modern sensibilities.

I love that the filmโ€™s metaphor is both so glaringly obvious, but also somewhat maddeningly unclear. Like itโ€™s easy to read on a surface level, but the longer the movie goes on the more it doesnโ€™t quite all add up.

That could be annoying but it comes across as intriguing.

Making my list of favorite foreign horrors was a reminder that I hadnโ€™t yet opened up my Blu-ray copy.

This isnโ€™t horror in the traditional sense, but thereโ€™s just something about it that works its way into my brain.

Oh man this score. Another banger from Fabio Frizzi.

The Beyond has Voci Dal Nulla, but again overall this is just a better, spookier vibe.

And grossest. This is the grossest of the trilogy by far.

The Beyond will always have my heart, but this is the most successfully atmospheric of Fulciโ€™s Gates of Hell trilogy.

Thereโ€™s a bunch of releases, but the Cauldron 4K looks amazing and I love this cover art.

Love Divine Comedy. Casanova is probably my favorite but heโ€™s remained incredibly consistent over the decades.

A real genuine actor. Even though he was always playing slimeballs and villains he seemed like a really warm individual.

I feel like Der Samurai is the only one on this list that might need explanation. Itโ€™s a much different movie than you might expect from that poster, and definitely not for everyone. It has a dreamlike fairytale feel that I really fell into.

Changed the prompt slightly because I have trouble declaring something my favorite. Also four is a ridiculously small number and I could have been at this for days trying to narrow it down. This gives me leeway in case I want to do it again.

Drop 4 of your favorite foreign language horror films.

Between BB, Versus, and Death Trance I really thought Tak Sakaguchi was gonna be the next big thing. Heโ€™s been very successful as an actor in Japan I just thought he was ready for a wider break.

This soundtrack is a favorite. I was 17 and it introduced me to so many amazing artists.

The first time I saw this was during the 1998 Rolling Thunder re-rerelease.

There was only one other person in the theatre and we were laughing so much he went to complain about us. I genuinely feel bad if we ruined his experience but alsoโ€ฆ come onโ€ฆ have you seen this movie!?

Time to rewatch a stone cold classic.

#NowWatching The Beyond, baby! Definitely one of my most-watched movies.

Finally checking out the new Grindhouse Releasing special edition bluray. But I could never ever get rid of my Anchor Bay DVD tin.

Those iPhone repair shops in malls will do it. The one near me charged $80 for the new battery, but there might be cheaper options.

I havenโ€™t seen The Sadness yet, and Martyrs is just a flavor of horror I donโ€™t gravitate towards. Which is funny to say considering how much I loved The Coffee Table when I saw it.

Two of your choices are on my longlist. Iโ€™m still debating.

I think I just completely accepted it. โ€˜So the racist idiots and smarmy authority figures are the bad guys? And the oddballs who live in the dark and hide internal torment are the good guys? Iโ€™m a 13yo suburban white kid starting to explore angst as a lifestyle? Yeah I think I got it from here.โ€™

Hey Bluesky: what is a good iPod replacement mp3 player? I want a simple dedicated device, no WiFi, I can load up with music and leave in the car.

Right now the Innioasis y1 looks like my best bet, but does anyone have any experience with these?

I was really not enthusiastic about the Absolute line because it looked like the epitome of grimdark Batman storytelling and Iโ€™m pretty tired of that. But I got the first GN and thought it was a lot of fun.

My monster kid origin story is 36. Meaning my monster kid is only 35. Gonna start using that as my actual age I think.

Hey, starring Luc Merenda, who was also in Martinoโ€™s slasher sleaze fest Torso.

I swear this guy looks like a Mad Magazine drawing of an Italian hunk.

In the mood for some real meat & potatoes #grindhouse this morning.

#NowWatching The Violent Professionals (1974) from director Sergio Martino, one of my faves.

I have to take the youngest to a birthday party in a bit so Iโ€™ll likely have to split this viewing in two.
