Mike at @horrorgeek.bsky.social having a whale of a time dissecting Jess Franco's gorier, sleazier remake of his own earlier gorier, sleazier rip-off of EYES WITHOUT A FACE.
One of his most ear-wormy theme tunes, and one of his best casts (and Chris Mitchum).
Well worth a watch.
I do wonder how people who create lists like this one expect us to react to being put on them. Are we supposed to be upset that a bunch of Elon Musk/Sam Altman apologists don't like us? Because if they think that, I've got some bad news for them 😂
I'm just about old enough to remember when Britain was a serious country.
On the plus side, we do have the likes of @mattgreencomedy.com documenting our slide into facepalming absurdity and utter irrelevance on the world stage😂
A very happy 80th to John Waters!
“Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

Good morning, Capt!
Short but very sweet little documentary COMIC ROOTS is our Wednesday offering this week as we get a lovely slice of pure Kenneth Williams from 1983. Join #thefilmcrowd tomorrow from 8pm. Link 👇
As a diabetic, I rarely get to eat much pizza, so when I do get to have one, pretty much anything will hit the spot, as long as it's cooked properly.
Fascinating stuff. Sort of what might happen if Ingmar Bergman wrote and directed an episode of SAPPHIRE AND STEEL.
I can see where you might be coming from, given the source material was written by a man who famously had a beef with HP Lovecraft because he thought HPL was the wrong type of racist.
I'm assuming an initial joke evolved into a genuine video idea? Either way, I look forward to seeing the video.
Good choice for a first Linux install. I hope it works out for you.

They cannot fuck off far enough. But that should absolutely not stop them from trying ;)
Jesus, and I mean this most sincerely, fuck.
Drastic Tonal Shift! Join #thefilmcrowd this Wednesday from 8pm for a dip into the archives and another chance to pay tribute to Kenneth Williams as he takes a trip around some old haunts in COMIC ROOTS from 1983!

That was feeble. And a bit grotty.
And wildly inappropriate closing music.
Well done, Julian.

two consecutive posts to the #TheFilmCrow hashtag, both mentioning the DOCTOR WHO serial PLANET OF THE SPIDERS.
Metebelis 2* JINX!
#TheFilmCrowd
*3, sir!
In more ways than one ;)

10-minute Klaxon, folks.
Repeat: 10 minutes left!

"Stop The Pigeon!"
And, by "Pigeon", I mean Steckler.
And, by "Stop", I mean nail him with a 2-by-4.
#TheFilmCrowd
Lacing the coffee with Senokot would have been better.
Funnier, at least ;)
#TheFilmCrowd
We just passed halfway, folks!
#TheFilmCrowd
As much as the news has been a constant stream of rancid, there is always something good to knock your spirits back into play!
Steckler's obviously been watching a few "Roughie" sexploitation movies, and he must have assumed he could make something at least as competent.
Nope. And that's saying a lot, given the quality of most Roughies.
#TheFilmCrowd
Well, so far the title appears to be truthful. Steckler has definitely killed any thrills in the film up to this point.
#TheFilmCrowd
At least that has Martine Beswick in it.
But strangely, a lower IMDB rating than this film.
#TheFilmCrowd
He's definitely an auteur. In the sense of all of his films are basically him working through his neuroses and fantasies.
And, by "working through", I mean "splatting them out all over the screen".

Is Nick cave a Steckler fan???
