Happiest of birthdays!!!

Been awhile since I dipped into some video games and I just started Norco and it is so great. What’s new and good? I dig adventure, point and click, detective/investigative, RPGs especially with a weird slant like Disco Elysium etc etc
Big time Not into difficult, punishing, or git gud vibes.

Help my letterboxd watchlist is an unorganized mess of 1,184 movies I’ll never claw my way out

Přijít o někoho blízkého je horor V Česku usazený hudebník Freddy Ruppert se na novém albu loučí se svým otcem

V aktuálním Respektu píšu o albu It's In the Rafters Now, na němž se Freddy Ruppert vyrovnává s nedávnou smrtí otce i vzdáleností, kterou mezi sebou měli. Bavili jsme se o tom, jak truchlení souvisí s horory a jak smutek po ztrátě blízkého tvaruje paměť.

Black Christmas is the only slasher film that still legitimately scares me no matter how many times I’ve seen it.

Isn’t this every FMW match? 😉

How I spent my birthday

We’ve been watching a lot of Frozen and Frozen II in this household and I know it’s not the general consensus but I really do think Frozen II is the better film.

So I’ve seen 17 Jess Franco films and Letterboxd tells me that is 8% of his filmography 🤪

The problem with Jess Franco is you always think you’ve seen a lot of Jess Franco films, but no, you actually haven’t.

Which level of sleep deprivation are you on when you think a film with a murderer who talks in Donald Duck voice is peak cinema?
That’s where I am at currently.

Getting my mind ripped by Christopher Norris’s Hunchback ‘88. Narrative plot left to decompose in a warehouse & emerge as scattered violent cinematic set pieces a fusion of Fulci & Jess Franco. In direct conversation with horror & gore. Highly recommended but not for squeamish or if you need A to B

What I handled to watch this past month. Biggest first time watch revelation: Suzhou River

Don’t sleep on the Argentine Noir collection that’s currently on the Criterion Channel. Filled with beautiful cinematography, incredible scores, and bleakness.

The film’s success lies in its ability to convince the viewer they are uncovering a past mystery until the twist ramps up the tension to unbelievable heights and the score does a lot of heavy lifting here.

Been revisiting the Fulci films where Frizzi worked on the score and if I didn’t have such a strong personal connection to The Beyond, I would say The Psychic or 7 Notes in Black is Fulci’s best film. The structure is genius.
