Nuts performance. This was around the time I was still buying CDs and I'd gotten back into regularly buying his stuff, the last crop of albums he did were pretty top end.

It is fucking wild to me that this was ten years ago, the sting of it is still fresh.
@bleedingcart.bsky.social !!!!
It's interesting, I always considered Carcer City some sort of GTA equivalent of Chicago for some reason, but Detroit seems about right.

God, what an ending.
You know what. Fine. I'm fine with that film. It wasn't good, but a bike chased a horse. Somebody kicked a fake severed head down some stairs. There were decadent grapes. THINGS HAPPENED, I WASN'T BORED.
So, you know, thanks all! #TheFilmCrowd
Oh shit, we got John Woo leaping gunplay now.

This is eerily reminding me of The Sadist (1963), which is the one Arch Hall Jr. film where he's not miscast as handsome and is actually ugly and unsettling on purpose.
#TheFilmCrowd
WAIT, REALLY!?
Well, that explains it all.
Oh look, a poster for Incredibly Strange blah-de-blah, terrible film title, one of the worst.
Though it's no "Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?"
#TheFilmCrowd
I'm actually kind of stunned that they still make films themed around that. Most recent I've seen is Charlie Day's unfortunate Fool's Paradise.
Best recent effort is Shane Black with Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, which is at least funny.
#TheFilmCrowd
No, you know what, effective, if ugly sequence. Perhaps the goofy bongos made all the chase about stuff a bit farcical, but eh.
This film is... Not great, but it's close to competent? There's bits of it where I can at least see some intent and vision and effort?

*stares into camera meaningfully, ready to unleash the most profound, controversial and unheard of statement, a real hot one, you will not belive this take folks*
"Hollywood is a bit phony."
WHOA THERE, HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE, WHAAAAAAAT

"Mad Dog? I hate that name. I hate it! You hear? Nobody calls me Mad Dog!"
#TheFilmCrowd
Giving this a shade of credit, the filming does crank up a bit when the killer's about, some fun sudden camera movements like "This guys FUCKIN' NUTS, isn't he!"
#TheFilmCrowd
I'm actually big into the dichotomy of sleazy movies purporting to show the sleaziness of Hollywood. One I remember (broadcast at like 3 in the morning back when Channel 4 used to do a show called Exploitica) was called Starlet. It was basically "porn industry bad, also here is tits"
#TheFilmCrowd
The decadence of Hollywood parties! That lady! She fell in the pool! Fully clothed! There are grapes! GRAPES!
#TheFilmCrowd
killer be like
#TheFilmCrowd
If you guys haven't done a Pyun film thus far, I shall be most disappointed and judgemental.
Hollywood California.
A flag. The moon. Etc.

Allo, #TheFilmCrowd!
Perverted synth bassline. It sounds like a glory hole.

Queen II remix from last month sent me down a whole discography revisit and my hot (space) take is that A Kind of Magic is a dogshit, lifeless sounding album, while Hot Space actually rules and is good, no I won't be taking any questions on this.

Babycakes (1989)
Going to try and keep it on the ODD end of things!
Me, standing there at the kettle, waiting for it to boil, realising that the "Phooyuck" bit in The Man With the Golden Gun is a play on "Fuck You".
Crikey, I wonder if I can rig up Duckstation to do that.
First GAME though to actually proper spook me in any way was Silent Hill and I was weeks away from turning 18 when that came out, so not a kid.
Wasn't a game, but it was on the ZX Spectrum. Sinclair User ran a series of music collections (I think mostly David Whittaker stuff) programmed by some guy who'd digitize his face and a couple of those images really spooked me for whatever reason.
