My haul from the #wfmu record fair. I mostly hit the station's extensive selection because they usually have the best deals on the floor. #vinylrecords

@npub1e7p…nvup Congrats! Be careful where/how you read it. My back and neck still haven't recovered from Nightmare Movies.

Read out the full text of this screen shot (from Stephen Thrower's Fulci book) the next time someone sniggers about the dubbing in Italian films. Sorry it's too long to alt text. It continues even stronger saying that popular preferences are only for a realistic -illusion- of naturalistic dialog since most US films include a heavy use of dubbing and that more documentary sound is every bit as offputting to audiences as a primitive dub. (Beyond Terror p. 202-203)

Why I love 4K. Perfect freeze frame. Pausing and reading Anne Wilkes' Misery scrapbook and you can see the text loops so that wherever your eyes settle, you get the gist of it. I also froze the regional airport scene in Dawn of the Dead and read the missing persons posters and looked at all the D&D stuff in the game shop in Cloak and Dagger. It makes me feel like Deckard in Bladerunner when he looks around a corner in a photo.

@npub1e7p…nvup Yeah I have to thank the Fangoria Podcast for pointing this out. I had zero interest in this franchise entry before.

2024-08-29 04:53:45

Quiet Place: Day one just landed on Paramount+ and it's as good as I'd heard (even tho the series is meh imo). It's more concerned with character work than out and out horror but NY chaos is well done and realistic looking. It mostly only shows pieces of the aliens (who feel like rabid horses in this). Same director as Nic Cage vehicle Pig which--had I known--would have motivated me to get to the theater.

@npub1e7p…nvup So far its very ambitious. Hope they bring in the landing.

listened to @npub1svg…z9pu interview with writer/director Tom Holland and learned that Cloak & Dagger was a rewrite of his Fright Night idea because the studio (Universal!) wasn't into vampires at the moment. Mind blown.

Don't want to be a total downer but Maxxxine and Longlegs. Two titles I've been looking forward to. And before the film there were 3-4 more trailers that caught my eye and will likely end in disappointment. Having a bit of a film buff existential crisis.

2024-07-13 01:35:28

After two disappointing nights at the theater (and an uncharacteristically shitty cocktail from Alamo) I'm staying in, mixing an Old Fashioned and watching these (at least until I pass out in ~25 mins)

Mixed feelings about the Sony Alamo Drafthouse purchase. Glad the venues and jobs were saved but dubious that it will keeps its flavor or the volume of curated revival showings. I should probably spread out my indy theater money but nothing else is as convenient (or has the season pass, buffet arrangement). #AlamoSeasonPass #alamodrafthouse

Just discovered that Biblio.com offers the option to exclude booksellers you won't buy from for one particular search or in perpetuity (on the profile level). Just excluded the big junk/boilerplate description culprits and my search results were much more acceptable. There also appears to be a star/favorite option but haven't experimented with that yet. #bookselling #bookstodon

@npub1jsc…87ch @npub14qf…tpku No records on eBay in completed listings (except for fan created decks of the complete deck for the game which goes for ~$80). Devolver sells a newer edition -i think.... may be an entirely different animal- with new art for $10 a pack. No entry on boardgamegeek. I haven't played though I've been curious. GameFuna is a fictional game developer within an ARG metaverse(?). I wouldn't open them yet. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of the games development will chime in
