Cool, I want to read the book now also. It's been adapted a couple times, once in 1989 (haven't seen it but Werner Herzog is in it). There's even a videogame

A movie of gags and stunts
J.R. (@jrbolt.bsky.social)
There's a part in this movie where a jailer warns Rumata, "This prisoner has been chained since he was 3 years old. If you free him, he'll die." Rumata frees him anyway. The prisoner then starts running away, seizes up and immediately dies

If I died in a stupid way and right-wingers were like "Well well well, looks like this pinko should've spent less time reading the Little Red Book and more time reading the red light" I wouldn't think it was funny. Because I'd be dead

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:

Loved it. I had to read the plot summary after to make sure I knew what was going on, but it felt very much like the (seemingly diagetic) observer in the movie who similarly doesn't know what the fuck is going on. Unbelievable movie, instant favourite

I didn't know who he was, but he most reminds me of a different Charlie (Hebdo). But if I have to predict what's going to happen in Kirk's case, the guy is going to end up being much more like one of the attempted Trump shooters.

It is kind of wild that nobody else seems to think a movie full of slapstick, pratfalls, scatology, "perfectly cut screams" style editing, and deadpan ironic dialogue isn't intended to be funny. Well, it is. Extremely so

Movie reviews of Hard to Be a God: This is a hideous 3-hour grimdark crawl through filth and nihilism plumbing the darkest depths of human regression, I needed a shower afterward, greatest masterpiece I can never endure again, What it's actually like to watch Hard to Be a God:

Last night's treadmill movie: Love Massacre (Patrick Tam, 1981). Eerie, alienated arthouse drama breaks down into a truly vicious slasher. '80s San Francisco as empty vistas inspired by Mondrian and Rothko. Feels much like Tenebrae but preceded it by two years. Brigitte Lin the queen of all reality
