Podsothoth: A #Lovecraft Book Club, is a pandemic hobby that got out of hand by a hacker and a lawyer.

Hosted by Tod Beardsley 🤘 (npub1qzu…rvyk) and Claire (npub1ew5…hk2u), we read, discuss, and make jokes about the works & influences by and on #HPLovecraft. We also talk about other #Lovecraftian things on this #horror-comedy #podcast, which apparently is now the 6th most popular Lovecraft podcast on Apple Podcasts, inexplicably. This account is usually puppeteered by Tod. (#fedi22)

This archive.org to Plex server pipeline is working out pretty well.
Makes watching 1950s-1970s #horror quite pleasant.

So I have some opinions on #TheCrow (2024). I knew it was bad going in, so that’s not the problem, not really.
The main critique I have is: if they had just ditched the baggage of evoking one of the best movies ever, The Crow (1994), this could have been good. A nice little #emo urban fantasy thing.
I mean, there’s a lot wrong with this movie. (Which is fascinating, since for any studio film, so, so many people have to say “yes” all along the way.)
But if Lionsgate et al. just had the wisdom to divorce it from the movie and the graphic novel, and barely touched up the mythology, these characters would have at least had a chance to stand on their own.
I’m reminded of other non-burdened, standalone movies like Barbarian (2022) (also with Bill Skarsgård) and Smile (2022). This could have been in that pantheon of 2020s good-to-great supernatural #horror films.
