The Chair Company season 1 is a christmas movie

$0.004 per minute math cannot make up for the fact that you don't own anything and you don't experience anything

It has also been terrible for consumers, which we used to call audiences

First 8 watched for Noir Month

A ★★★½ review of Black Widow (1987) The great and beautiful Diane Ladd has passed away. She's already my #1 most watched actress this year, just by coincidence, and it's currently Noir Month so I've dug out this film I've been meaning t...

Rita considered the dead. Shut her eyes. Rolled their names around her brain. Stacked each person in order like folded laundry, warm and crisp from the sun. She wondered how her name would sound amongst them.

This time next week I will be in Wellington for the sole and explicit purpose of going to Unity Books and picking up a copy of Hoods Landing by Laura Vincent. www.unitybooks.co.nz/products/hoo...

Noirvember at the movies: on the pleasures of personal curation - Overland literary journal Watching noir all month, in its many transcontinental variants from the past eighty-odd years, really is a fantastic thing to do. I’m finding connections between films that aren’t obvious, or that mig...

It's #Noirvember and also the @overlandjournal.bsky.social Subscriberthon! Here's a piece on the joys of themed viewing I wrote for Overland a few years ago, plus a reminder to: watch noir and support great independent publications. overland.org.au/2022/11/noir...

A ★★★★★ review of Privilege (1967) Nobody ever refers to Peter Watkins films as mockumentaries because they are simply not funny. The man doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humour but still manages to craft some of the greatest sa...

Love Peter Watkins. I wrote this last time I watched Privilege, one of my literal favourite movies: boxd.it/4JLHSr

44 horror films all told. Absolutely no idea how I fit them all in when it has been one of the busiest and most full-on months of my life. Still, great fun. Next up: noir!

I do remember! This is wild. Congrats!

Posters for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Black Cat (1980), The Silence of the Lambs, Seed of Chucky

Last four. Happy Halloween!

Posters for Deadly Blows (censored), Motel Hell, Alligator, La Llorona, Monsters Crash the Pajama Party, Frenzy, Between the Ocean and the Clouds, and Tomie.

8 more watched for Horror Month. The first one is censored because it is gay pornography. Titles in the alt text, as always.

Daybill Poster for The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea

Pencils down

Text reads: Like the act of love, this film must be experienced from beginning to end. Therefore no one will be seated once the picture starts.

A wild warning from one of the daybills hanging on our wall. (Points if you can name the movie!)

If you liked The Lodger, you gotta check out Hangover Square, which is my favourite of the two. Both great though!

Hey that's the most of anyone who has responded!

How many have you seen?

Love it. Squirm is by the same director so that could be a goer, but I think the one I would recommend to everyone is Suddenly in the Dark.

Nooooooo. Ok you have to tell me which one!

Still quite a few!
