Watched The Batman which I hadn’t seen since the cinema viewing. Forgotten how good the film was. I primarily watched i in preparation for viewing The Penguin.
I tried to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood but gave up after an hour. It just wasn’t for me and I found it quite boring just watching actors playing actors.
Instead, I went to YouTube and watched something recommended to me, Tom Hank’s Electric City. It was originally streamed on Yahoo! back in 2012, and someone has saved it and upscaled it to 1080p.
It is an animated story of a post apocalyptic civilisation that has rebuilt to the stages of having electricity again. Everything is hard-wired. The city is under strict control by a secret group and the wired radio service provides entertainment and information and laws about living in the city.
However, a group of people have developed wireless radio and is preparing to start a rebellion.
My description is rather naff, but I recommend it. It’s a shame it didn’t go any further, as it ends on a point where you wish a season 2 existed. [YouTube Link]
It’s horror month Baby!
So, far not gotten as much off my list as I would like but.
Bloody Hell: really great film, almost Deadpool esque kinda movie without the 4th wall breaks. They look straight at but never break it. Good action. Good acting. Fun story if a bit underwhelming an end.
Stuart Gordon films: (i.e. Re-animator, From Beyond, Dolls ) and these are just fantastic for the cheap yet super effective practical work. I really love them and gives that right ick factor.
Uzumaki: I like Junji Ito a lot. And I respect that he is a silly weirdo more than I think others do. This show is just as disturbed and silly as his books but does suffer from a budget issue that gets worse as the show goes on. But I don’t think it ever ruins the show. It’s campy and I think it’s gonna be a cult classic that way that most of the others on my list are. You get tension and giggles at bad effects. What more could you want.
I’ve been watching the original Halloween movies.
I understand why people don’t like the later ones, but I still like them, overall.
Four or Six.
Five was a bit of a rehash of Four, but Six tried to introduce a new paradigm that didn’t quite carry through.
Interesting! I love 2, and have a weird soft spot for 3 (season of the witch)
I think Six works better as the bootleg cut that floats around. Really gives the cult more and makes it rank higher for me.
All 3 versions of Salem’s Lot! Will be wrapping up the newest one tonight, then more horror movies until the weekend.
Caddo Lake was surprisingly good. Try it.
