Go there regularly myself and thereโ€™s always something cool happening. To the point where each little office feels like stepping into a different dimension. Just a shame a lot of the truly wacky stuff felt unrepresented! ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ

A review by @frickyuu on twitter reads: FantasticFour Is a masterpiece. the visual effects and the score are a HUGE stand out. Galactus Is huge In IMAX. Itโ€™s emotional and gives you hope. It beats you off and doesnโ€™t stop. STAY Until the END CREDITS.

Also if any people writing / editing people in my circle want to do the same, cannot recommend @11ty.dev enough! Don't know too much coding myself, but as long as you've written in markdown (think Obsidian, iA writer or Bear Notes) you can pretty much write posts like word and then host on Github.

Whoops, accidentally rated this higher that I meant too ๐Ÿ˜…. But donโ€™t get it twisted, thereโ€™s a really trippy film here thatโ€™s a real treat to witness with your own eyes. That is, if your eyes actually existโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ“

Pained me physically to write a bad review for this cause it has all the things I should like, weird horror, elevated style and a French Female Director. But this felt like it was grasping at tropes and riding on a trend rather than actually joining the conversation of female led horror. ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ“

Itโ€™s a little cheesy, and Iโ€™m kinda confused why they didnโ€™t market it with the showโ€™s audience in mind, but itโ€™s a fun enough to recommend for an at-home watch ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ“

โ€˜Night At the Gates of Hellโ€™ Games Horrorโ€™s Maestros Austin Lancaster explores the rough-hewn indie gameโ€™s resonances with the cinematic nightmares of Lucio Fulci and Bruno Mattei.

In the latest entry of his Screen Play column, Austin Lancaster wades into a world of vulgarityโ€”the "nasty, cheap, and gratuitous"โ€”with indie game NIGHT AT THE GATES OF HELL, which riffs on the gauche greats of Italian horror, Lucio Fulci & Bruno Mattei.

This film is the perfect example of what can happen when cultures arenโ€™t just slapped onto a film as an afterthought. So glad Rankin and team were able to find a distributor cause everyone deserves to see this in theatres at least once! ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ“

All for older people getting a feel good story in cinemas. But when it boils down homelessness to a positive and life changing experience, itโ€™s a bit hard to stomach. ๐ŸŽฅ๐Ÿ“

Iโ€™ve already had cases of people trying to use AI to converse with me about silent films (self-confessed, they were so weird I asked them if they were a bot)

Instead of engaging in human terms, they tried to outsource knowledgeโ€ฆ for what? What they was the end game? Itโ€™s bizarre.
