Thank you! I look forward to reading many more.

Thank you for The Vigil. Stunning prose exploring the granularity of decay and the wrenching ache of a lover's loss. You paint the whole world in the solitary dissolution felt from losing a loved one, yet hold to the faith that something of our spirit endures beyond the flesh. Tremendous.

What a banger! I prefer it to the anime movie but that's pretty great too. I think of the live action version as Hong Kong's superior Super Mario Bros movie.

Other movies that explore horror and US roadways include Freeway, Death Race 2000, R.O.T.O.R., Phantasm 3, It Follows, Soultaker, and a plethora of mad maxploitation movies like Cyborg and Cherry 2000.

Plus, movies like Devil's Rejects and Natural Born Killers present the other side of the coin - peaceful communities being shattered by their proximity to open roads of deranged travellers. Mandy fits this trope loosely.

American roads are essentially characters in nearly all of David Lynch's films, each brimming with potentiality and invoking the unknown.

I never thought I would say the words, "I prefer the Kirk Cameron version", but here we are. You're in for a weird, silly time. The sequel is silly too.

Hmmm, tough call. 2 movies with gratuitous nudity and gratuitous musical numbers. Going "Nudist Colony of the Dead" in honor of Doris Wishman.

Zombies. Sounds like it's got more juice for the Asylum cage match.

Death Bed: The Bed That Eats has my vote. Such a strange platypus of a film wading halfway between art house satire and auteur horror (and filled with bed burps) deserves to be apprehended, catalogued, and scrutinized the JBB & Darcy way - deep dives, digressions, cosplay, rants and repartee.

Watching tonight's silent film from the quiet outskirts of Nashville, TN.

I thought Doge was pronounced like Doogie Howser, M.D., because they are all special little boy geniuses who you should totally be okay with operating on you and your family and your whole country with their tiny little fingers clutching their tiny little scalpels and cutting, slicing, stabbing away

Well you have to be specific about the gas that fuels cybertrucks. Otherwise they could blow up.

Cow shopping is easy in a bull market. Otherwise, it's a cow-culated risk.

From the sci-fi classics shelf:
The Transmigration of Timothy Archer by Philip K. Dick for existential mulling.
The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula Le Guin for lucid dreaming.
Babel-17 by Samuel Delaney for wtf-world wondering.

Did you marry her on Wednesday? That's a good day to wed. Unless there's no ceremony or witnesses, in which case Tuesday works just fine for the two. The exception would be Oedipus, for whom Sunday would be the best day to marry his mom.

Amazing. My Grandma Eunice played it twice in a row and just went senile.

In my country cottage tonight I ate an entire can of peaches with cottage cheese.

I thought he did a fine job in Battle Beyond the Stars, the first of Roger Corman's many knock-off Star Wars cash-ins.

Some may say your joke was in pore taste, but I thought it was quite topical. A balm for my afternoon that left me glowing.

😂 which he then sets CGI fire to while wrestling Janet-Reno (who turns into a CGI white tiger) in front of a picture of a tank.

In the last decade, Breen has shifted from physical locations to entirely digital ones. Like a fun house mirror for the film industry. The last two movies are lodged even deeper into his weird headspace alien Messiah complex. Fun times.

I recently met Vincent Price's granddaughter. I'm going to send this picture to her. Maybe it's her mom!

Cats may commit crimes, but they Kant break the categorical imperative. It's petaphysically impawsible.

I f'n love Space Mutiny. One of the only episodes where the riffing stops for awhile while Mike and the bots just gut laugh at the movie.

Hi Jen! I made your dressing recipe for Thanksgiving family meal at my restaurant, and everybody loved it! We even took some and stuffed a duck with it, slow roasted over a wood fire. Amazingly good! We're thankful for you sharing this winner with the world!
