French Tech | 2020
(Les Deux Alfred) 🐒🐒
w/ Denis Podalydès, Bruno Podalydès, Sandrine Kiberlain, Luàna Bajrami
a blackly humorous satire on the modern workplace, with plenty of warmth for its endearing characters.
Distant Drums, 1951

I hate the Wilhelm scream, especially in serious, dramatic scenes. it always makes the scene seem ridiculous to me. it stopped being funny long time ago.

The Call of Cthulhu | 2005
omg, I love it. I love the idea of making it look like a silent film from the 1920s, the effects, the music, the intertwined storytelling, how it drags you in immediately. just perfect.

Five Nights at Freddy’s | 2023
w/ Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Matthew Lillard
I never played the game and had no idea what to expect. the film started promising but lost me somewhere along the way 😕. loved the killer cupcake, though.

"I do not believe there is ugliness in any human being - until his actions prove it to me. And then I believe there is an excuse for his actions. Life, which is stronger than any individual, has given his soul a maiming twist."
- Conrad Veidt, 1941

during WWI, Connie (23) was sent from the Eastern Front to a hospital at the Baltic Sea due to illness. he was allowed to join the Front Theatre in Libau. I asked Grok to improve this old photo. personable young man 🙂.

The Holy Boy | 2025

Matteo, who has psychic abilities, is exploited by the village community as a sacred figure. his attempt to break free from this role as an "angel" ends in disaster. the finale unfolds in nightmarish imagery.

Predestination | 2014
w/ Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook, Noah Taylor
every time I watch this film, I can’t believe how perfect it is.
"The only thing that I know for sure is that you are the best thing that's ever happened to me. I miss you dreadfully."

The Ring | 2002 📼

yeah, I'm a philistine, but I still like this film more than the Japanese original or even the book. 😅

The Time Machine | 1960
w/ Rod Taylor, Alan Young, Yvette Mimieux, Sebastian Cabot
one of the films you love forever once you've seen it as a kid. the idea, the machine, the adventure, the Morlocks!

The Endless | 2017
slow, hypnotic, creepy, it drags you in, and then a lot of "wtf" happens. I have to investigate some stuff and watch it again! 🕵️♀️ I love investigating!

🎞️ the Conrad Veidt project
that's it. over the last 14 months I've watched every film with Connie I could find. I discovered many interesting films, and he was never afraid to take a controversial role. but most important: he was a courageous, gentle, sweet-natured treasure. 🤍
Conrad Veidt BTS; vintage film reels
#filmsky #films 📽️
between 1917 and 1943, Conrad Veidt made 114 films. unfortunately, almost half of them have been lost over the years. not all of the surviving films are masterpieces, but they are well worth watching. his acting was more versatile than most people realize.

The Seat of the Scornful | John Dickson Carr
#grok #AI #art #artwork #books #booksky
I never ever would ask Grok (or any other AI) for its weird opinions, but I love feeding it with book quotes just to see what happens. 😂

The Frankenstein Chronicles
S01 | 2015 || S02 | 2017
I usually don’t like watching series because they always drag on for too long, but how could I have resisted? Sean Bean 🥰
I liked season 2 even better than the first season.

Motel Hell | 1980 🔪
w/ Rory Calhoun, Paul Linke, Nancy Parsons, Nina Axelrod
the film was mentioned once in a documentary about horror films, and I thought, 'I’ve got to see that!'
weird 100 minutes, but I had my fair share of fun. 😂

The Corpse in the Waxworks | John Dickson Carr
#filmsky #films 📽️
Sleuth | 1972
Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier, the screenplay, the wits, the amazing sets — apart from a few slow moments, a perfect film that I can never get enough of.

Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes | 2020
w/ Europe Kikaku
the characters’ hyperactivity is at times a bit exhausting, and somewhere halfway through my brain just blew up, but it’s one of the most charming timey-wimey films out there.
