I had a wild-ass dream falling asleep to Herzog’s NOSFERATU. With an elaborate hall of mirrors, possibly connected to a real scene that does feature a (much humbler) mirror.

New on Blu - KICKFLIP (2020) Feels like a Personal Attack to This 40-Something Skate Dad - Cinapse There's a saying among skaters that you don't quit skateboarding because you get old; You get old because you quit skateboarding. Kickflip is a wonderful

In KICKFLIP a slightly tubby, nearly-40, white-collar Asian guy finds joy in skateboarding. By some cosmic coincidence it premiered the same month (Sept 2020) that THIS slightly tubby, nearly-40, white-collar Asian guy found joy in skateboarding.

Radiance Brings the Stunning and Exasperating Morality Tale THE DANCING HAWK (1977) to Blu-ray - Cinapse Unapologetically dense and obtuse, Grzegorz Królikiewicz's 1977 Polish drama The Dancing Hawk is a beautifully shot but difficult journey into avant-garde cinema. The narrative tracks the entire life ...

For @cinapse.bsky.social - Gorgeously shot but narratively difficult, experimental Polish film THE DANCING HAWK (1977) is now on Blu-ray from @filmsradiance.bsky.social, with terrific extras including an impactful video essay and two shorts I liked more than the feature.

The good news is there's a 14 for $14 sale on Charlton Heston movies at Fanflix. The bad news is they're Paramount titles so these are Fandango only (no Apple/iTunes). fanflix.co/c/1lu9uq86zd...

I started an alt account! Follow along as I track what Matlock eats during the duration of one of my favorite TV shows.

Thanks to @sanshinsoba.bsky.social for giving me the idea 💛

Title card for DIARY OF A PERFECT MURDER

Was Matlock a foodie from the very beginning? Let's find out together, as I watch the TV movie that launched the series!

Just had the coolest theatrical experience. Coming out of THE KING’S WARDEN (which is great btw), the three other dudes who were in the theater (a group of Korean friends) approached me to ask my opinion. We ended up having a great 1 AM chat and recommending our favorite Korean films. I love movies.

Ooh, a Korean one! What’s “THE KING’S WARDEN”?
5 seconds into the trailer when this MF’s face pops up.
No idea what happens next in the trailer because I’m already in the car.

There’s plenty about Chuck Norris I don’t like politically, but he helped to popularize martial arts here in the US, and made some bangers. FIREWALKER, RETURN OF THE DRAGON, DELTA FORCE, and EXPENDABLES 2 are good times. RIP.

Hi Ralph! 50 years on, have perceptions toward the film shifted over time? Do people seem more (or less) understanding of its intent these days? Do young people converse with you about it (or your other films)?

DILLINGER is back on Blu-ray! I can't fully recommend the new bare-bones edition when Arrow's version (now OOP) had some cool extras, but if you just want to own the movie, it's once again available. cinapse.co/2026/02/back...
