Accidentally torrented the cannibal exploitation flick the first time I was trying to watch the Hooper and surprised myself by how good a time I had

Now watching:

Getting followed by a lot of accounts that follow like, 200,000+ accounts. That’s gotta be half the user base

Choosing to focus on the strawberry count over the death count on my first run through of Celeste

Staring at the showtimes screen mouth agape at all the possibilities, simply couldn’t be me

Although technically I guess Mikurda’s documentary about the production of Silver Globe is the final disc but you catch my drift

Now watching: On the Silver Globe

Finishing off my mini Żuławski run through with the final disc in the forthcoming Eureka release

Smoking Causes Coughing too, good year for her

The percentage of users on there I’d value the opinion of is like 0.02%

Oh yeah firmly in the positives here, just had a few randoms chatting shite in the recent past

Wise words, if only I could live by them

Been getting way more negative interactions on Letterboxd lately, a platform I mostly see as a film diary and to get recs from mutuals. Anyone else found this?

The Land

Tried doing a nice lil four screenshot post but it kept disappearing, guess Bluesky wants to keep Chahine chatter to a minimum. Anyway here’s my favourite first watches of July:

One from the Heart (1982)
The Doom Generation (1995)
Paths of Glory (1957)
The Land (1969)

Imagine being an open Muse fan in 2023

A facebook post about The 1975 to which someone replies saying Muse are a great band with no gimmicks to inadvertent comic effect

Say what you like about Facebook but whenever I tab on I find a gem like this nearly immediately

On a good streak of games atm

Just goes to show that you should always bite the hand that feeds you

Hoping for the “they’ve got balls” mob boss badge of honour

My partner just interviewed someone who was visibly in bed at 1pm. Rearranging the pillows and stuff, clearly under the duvet. Sort of gambit you have to respect

Love the fact that Matt Damon’s agreement with his wife to take a break from acting included a Nolan caveat

I was sweating there briefly

There was plenty there I liked and I think Anno seems like a cool dude so I’m excited to try the rest, just wasn’t sure if I was missing some key contexts coming in cold

Snake form Godzilla

Loved the first act of Shin Godzilla, all those obtuse angles of bureaucrats and strange fixed tracking shots of office objects is so my jam, but found it waning on me as it went on. What am I missing? Slithering zilla also my fav of the 4 forms

That’s more like it

A Bresson post with no close-ups of hands, brave

The day I see Tom Green gawping from the banner of Disney+ is the day I know cinema is saved

Xzibit would be proud

At least Memento has the chase scene gag where he forgets if he’s cat or mouse. When I think of Primer all I can conjure up is people talking very fast and very seriously

In theory Bluesky is a new slate but if anything I’ve just doubled down on the same brand
