Crimes of the Future That went places I was not expecting. You weren't expecting surgical tattoos on innards in a Cronenberg movie?

"Emergo" (2011) aka "Apartment 143" - Decent shaky-cam tale of psychic researchers at the apartment home of a single dad and his two kids. As usual, everybody sticks around way longer than my superstitious ass would've. There were a pile of movies like this on the heels of things like "Blair Witch" and "Paranormal Activity", and something that occurred to me watching this is that we were all treating the new gadgetry of the time the way folks around the turn of last century treated the telephone and photography; with an uneasy hope/concern that it might accidentally reveal what lies on the other side.

Watched "The Old Ones" (2024) last night. It reminded me of the time I tried painting a portrait of Kate Bush in oils (first time ever using them). Good intentions, but you gotta know your limits, and the producers of this crap did not. I even wore my favorite HPL shirt for the occasion.

"Bad Moon" (1996) with Mariel Hemmingway and Michael Pare. Decent werewolf movie where the family doggo (a German Shepard named Thor) is the hero. One of my favorite werewolf designs of all time by the great Steve Johnson.

Black Demon An Aztec curse resurrects a megalodon to terrorize a family. That sounds like it'd be right up Killer Goldfish's alley.

The Cell Music video ass movie. You're right, but miscastings and everything I still love that movie. Even bigger fan of Singh's "The Fall" (2006).

Hot garbage night here with Fulci's "Sodoma's Ghost" (1988). I knew it would be crap going into it, and guess what? (spoiler)It was crap.(/spoiler)

"Then what's the use of coming here? It makes no sense to me now." - "Stalker" (1979) Seriously. I know I'm a midwit, but this entire show went way over my head. It's one of the most highly rated films I've ever watched, but I suspect much was lost on non-Russian viewers. I heard about it from the six-part documentary I watched recently called "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and apparently it speaks to the utter despair and futility Russian citizens were facing at the time. Maybe because it took me three sessions to get through it, but I just didn't glean much from it at all. I was however entranced by the strange beauty of the decrepit, forlorn landscape they traveled through ("The Zone" in the film).

The Beekeeper Jason Statham punches people in the name of justice. That one is a classic case where the trailer tells the entire story. It's like, Thanks for leaving us with zero surprises to look forward to.

"Robotrix" (1991) - I don't know how this gets a 5.9 on the IMDb, except that it IS a lot of cheesy fun.

I searched for at least 30 minutes trying to find Dr. Kobb's query about the Cruising soundtrack and had zero luck finding it. Anyway, I found the files and then spent a bunch of time learning how to burn a CD since it's been literal years. So that's done. I'll try to drop it in the mail soon.

BTW - You wouldn't know how to score the soundtrack to "Cruising", would you? I'm 97% positive I've a digital copy in the archives. Found it! Christ.
