I don’t need a self driving car. I need a vehicle that runs between major areas and can transport large numbers of people at once to reduce environmental impact…wait it’s a train. I’m describing trains. Build more goddamned TRAINS, America.
Nice.
a heterosexual couple just kissed on a show we're watching and I want to know how tf I'm supposed to explain this to my dog.

Support your public library. Defend your public library. Slay the enemies of your public library.
I can only hope this moves in the direction of some of those 80s Arizal bangers getting a look! I need more Stabilizer in my life.
Me to my boss tomorrow.
physical media is not dead
The old world is dying, and the new world is so fucking stupid dude
I remember the squibs looking like saucy meatballs. And that “turtle” exchange still cracks me up.
as a film blogger with their own site, the highest compliment you can receive in 2025 — aside from a comment on a post from a real human — is a boutique disc label distributing a film you had to source from VHS (or a dub) to review
Toho's early work was a little too New Wave for my tastes, but when Godzilla 1985 came out with Raymond Burr and Dr Pepper edited in, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically.
The Blob remake - released today in 1988 - truly said, “Fuck them kids.”
MESSIAH OF EVIL: the people who made this don't seem to realise what they did. It's a perfect nightmare of California gothic with astonishing production design by Jack Fisk (Eraserhead, There Will Be Blood etc) & some of the scariest setpieces in 1970s US horror. Anitra Ford's eyes are miraculous.
If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.
![[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihjvnz2ttxl7z4a2b3a4kylubobgvqxmjhwz6yuetuztzoc4g2s4y@jpeg "Click to view full size")

having a normal one, thanks for asking
Maybe it expands to the size of a playabale Laserdisc?
Disney deer eat all the food and plants we try to grow in our backyard, but I’m not mad.
NOTHING IS STOPPING US FROM CREATING FORUMS AND BADLY CODED WEBSITES FULL OF ANIMATED GIFS AND WITH A MIDI SONG AUTOPLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!! WE CAN STILL GO BACK TO WHEN THE INTERNET WAS GOOD!!!!!
I’m long overdue for a rewatch of Carnival… while working for Centron Films, Herk Harvey also made my favorite industrial/educational film, 1980’s Shake Hands with Danger. A deliriously gory safety film that’s well worth your time if you haven’t seen it!
"Short Term 12 provides validation for the frequently invalidated and offers a stunning portrayal of a perpetual liminal space, where time together—for patients & staff alike—is fleeting. Where you can only do so much, but can also be exactly what someone else needs in the moment they most need it."
My favorite factoid about the 1984 musical-drama, FOOTLOOSE.
Carl Sagan's prediction of America, made 30 years ago.
Anton Walbrook in The Student of Prague (1935) and The Red Shoes (1948).
Whoops did I say FOOTLOOSE?? I meant WILD THINGS (1998)!
My favorite factoid about the 1984 musical-drama, FOOTLOOSE.
Ozzy is one of like 3 people in Decline of Western Civilization Part 2 that comes off as a decent human being and I always love the scene where Penelope Spheeris interviews him making breakfast while he explains the ups and downs of the business.
It’s a lifestyle✨
I’m a team player, Freddie. Just doing my part.

I forgot to post this because I am better at making the show than I am at promoting it! BRAND NEW LATE! This week is all about flashes in the pan, one hit wonders. Listen up to good old fashioned radio - free, no ads, and made entirely by me with no Ai. www.mixcloud.com/KOPN/late-wi...
The best one I’ve seen is Undefeatable, but that might mean I haven’t seen enough Ho films.
Like a fly at the farmer’s market, I was all over the place this week #Letterboxd #LastFourWatched #filmsky
You are the sum of your experiences and so is your writing. Everything great about you, everything broken, your successes, your failures, your true loves, your lost loves, your fears and your regrets - that is the alchemy that is your voice. All of that is what makes a writer worth reading.
Handing this one in late for partial credit. My month of movies included sleazy cops, slimy sex demons, scalding oil chandeliers, maternal resilience, close-quarters gunplay, revenge served cold, roadside restaurants, and lusty boating.
Needed this reminder today.
Thanks! This is in a similar wheelhouse if you haven’t heard it. cinedelic.bandcamp.com/album/tsugar...
Hot damn, this is a serious treasure trove. Thanks for the tip.
I have one of the Takeshi Terauchi comps from Big Beat. To no one’s surprise it TOTALLY RIPS.
DEVIL FETUS (1983). Dir. Hung-Chuen Lau. #horrorsky #filmsky #hkfilm
I’ve seen and love both but Susan Tyrrell is really amazing in the latter.
DRIVE remains one of the best North American made martial arts movies ever made. Dacascos and Hardison are terrific together. The choreography and action direction by Koichi Sakamoto is chef’s kiss. An absolute action classic!!
🖤 52 years ago, The Friends of Eddie Coyle quietly redefined American crime cinema. We revisit Yates’ understated masterpiece, Mitchum’s haunting performance, and the gritty realism that redefined the crime genre. 🔗 cinephiliabeyond.org/friends-of-e...
King of Newark 3
A zany, Eighties low-budget martial arts fever dream. I don’t want to spoil anything but suffice to say, the filmmakers made a lot of interesting choices.
BRAND NEW LATE! Hey - you should listen to my weekly radio show! This one's all about colors - music from Pixies, Bikini Kill, boygenius, Charles Mingus, & More; I'll read DH Lawrence, Christina Rossetti & More; plus stories about rainbows, pink & blue, & khaki www.mixcloud.com/KOPN/late-wi...
Hey loves! I dug deep into the dynamic of the women of Twin Peaks and Agent Cooper for @moviejawn.com! Give a look!

This is your reminder that Divine was a direct inspiration for Ursula ⚡️ Happy Pride month!
Nothing wrong with that! But there’s only so much space in my smol haus and these were the easiest ones to weed out.
Facebook is an abomination and social media is one of humanity’s most destructive inventions but it also has little groups for free local stuff where you post 50 of the shittiest vinyl records imaginable and someone will reply and offer to take them out of your life within the next 20 minutes.
Dudes being dudes, to the point of death!
Witnesses to satanic slaughter in Texas are hunted by witches in one of the '70s best sleepers. A fast and furious fusion of road movie and folk horror. 1975. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
Behind The Scenes-Thriller: A Cruel Picture (1973) Director Bo Arne Vibenius
Thanks! Hoping to track it down 🤞
Walter’s beard/brows game is on point!
Isolated screenshots can be deceiving but this looks kinda rad — did you enjoy?
Twin Peaks: Agent Cooper outlining the plight of the Tibetan people.
Movies are cool.
Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

According to the MetroWest record shop proprietor from whom I bought it, this obscure 80s J-Pop album (Susan - “The Girl Can’t Help It”) once belonged to Kurt Loder of MTV News fame.

did you eat the whole bag of shrooms?
Wedding Crashers (2005). Dir. David Dobkin.
For the longest time I thought it was Richard Lynch. (Same same, but different).
The artist next to me at the con introduced me to a muppet I’d never heard of but am immediately OBSESSED with his name is Digit and he was the MuppeTelevision tech director in 1989 and he plays keyboard and wears a dope ass blazer and he’s kind of a fucked up cyborg and I LOVE HIM
"We embraced-a warm and loving embrace, nothing withheld. We were, in this moment, one. My vision ended. I awoke with a tremendous feeling of optimism and confidence in you and your future. That was my vision. It was you."
Good decisions were made. (boxd.it/odz3) #filmsky #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFridays
Sorry to hear this. Hope you land somewhere soon that properly values your talents!
I saw Enter the Void in a tiny, borderline claustrophobic NYC theater when it came out (totally sober) and when it ended, I walked all the way home in a stupor. ‘Twas a grand time at the pictures! 🍿
THE SHINING was released on this day in 1980 #horror #filmsky
Babylon was a fun mess (emphasis on mess)
Night of the Comet and Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge … (to give the people what they want).

This is my first exposure to this podcast but I just needed to say this is the greatest pod episode title I’ve ever read.
When I have similar animal horror cravings I throw on the wedding reception scene from Alligator and, for a few minutes anyways, all is right in the world.
RIP to the legendary Joe Don Baker. In everything from Walking Tall, to Charley Varrick, to Mars Attacks, every time you’d see him on screen was a treat

I’m still not quite over their breakup. Helluva live show too.
Good morning!
I’ll look forward to supplementing my VHS copy!
jeez Bri save some gems for the rest of us
That’s a damn good week Freddie!

Not sure who wants or needs to know this, but the same University of Toronto Scarborough location used in the 2023 Nicolas Cage dark comedy DREAM SCENARIO is also used as a futuristic virtual reality training academy for assassins in 1995’s sci-fi action movie EXPECT NO MERCY with Billy Blanks.
