I can't talk. I watched this the other night and enjoyed it fully (even while knowing it was garbage the entire time):

"Civil War" (2024) While I still have qualms about the timing of this one, it turned out to not be loaded with social commentary/satire (like 2020's "The Hunt" for example) as I'd feared it would. Kirsten Dunst is great as ever.

Oh, we also watched "Taoism Drunkard" (1984), which was bonkers. It had subtitles, but they were often white against a white/light background, and really poorly translated, so it was a bit difficult to grok exactly wtf we were watching, story-wise, for the first third. The "trailer" below give an idea of the many wild scenes.

"The Party" (1968) was pretty much Peter Sellers and Steve Franken bumbling around during an upscale party. Apparently far more entertaining for many. I do give it more credit after reading trivia about how they went about filming, but still, not my cup of tea for some reason. A few scenes shined (like the bathroom, the dinner table, and Sellers futzing around with the controls for the state-of-the-art mansion).

I finally got around to seeing "The Bad Seed" (1956). Goddamn. While most 50's horror was bug-eyed monsters, this little monster was far scarier. That fucking ending!

All these sci-fi titles! Are you preparing for another Cinematichine (sp?) release? 😆 I am not! Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic for the future we never got. Understandable. Am considering rejoining a sci-fi/fantasy-based APA I was a part of several years ago. Problem is, I need a "hook". Something I can sort of base my fanzine on. So, am thinking of making it about end-of-the-world/post-apocalyptic movies. Particularly from mid-70's through mid 90's fare. Things seem to be drifting in that general direction, regardless of the abysmal first weekend box office for "Furiosa". It's that or mad scientist/doctor movies. Lots of potential there, but I've already seen so many of those and I usually like to watch stuff new to me for my fanzines.

At last, SMILE, with the same motif we saw in IT FOLLOWS -- a curse that leaps from person to person with no really good way to get rid of it. Happy to see this was a shrink-bashing movie as well.

Saw "Extra Terrestrial Visitors" (1983) last Friday night. Apparently, the director was shooting a horror flick, the execs/producers wanted to cash-in on the success of "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (1982), and this absolute mess was the result. Incidentally, has anyone ever picked up on the utter idiocy of the name for Spielberg's movie? Also, in an odd coincidink: A Simple Simon game has a choice moment in "Extra Terrestrial Visitors". I have probably not seen one of those in decades until I saw it in that stupid movie. A couple of days later, I run by a friend's house...and he's got a goddamn mini Simple Simon* sitting around.
*Also, I just noticed they've changed the name to simply "Simon" now. Darn political correctness!
Also watched a dumb horror/comedy called "The Dead Hate the Living!" (2000). That is all the notes it deserves.
And also, last night I saw "Satan Wants You" (2023) which goes into detail about the furor around the book Michelle Remembers and makes a solid case for it really pushing the whole Satanic Panic of the 80's-early 90's into full gear while also debunking the claims. Michelle herself is still alive and refused to take part in the production.
