Yeah, that bit was really striking, @ m. 20-30, that series of little things grinding away at him till he finally gets all "I've gotta go punch some faces."

This was interesting, neo-reo vibe without ever ceasing to be "Hollywood" (maybe by way of the Actor's Studio). Indie effort that's hugely investing in giving representation to Mex/Amer experience, so hard to fault it...

Not censored, just banned. Details here': https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_sombra ... a_de_1960)

caudillo I have a fresh copy of this, some recent 4K transfer that's got to look better than whatever I watched, so I'm close to rewatching it. Never would have occurred to me to link it to Jan 6th... or to think of it as black comedy, I'll have to look for that. For a movie that was destroyed and ...

I try to write something down or concentrate on enough salient details that I can recreate it later. If I don't go back and fill in the details, sometimes my journal entries look like this: 9/1 Black Jane. Three-legged stool. Proboscis. 9/3 Me, mumsy, an imaginary sister, miau "miau" was a...

Wild indeed. I liked how the cat was on the periphery of so many of the sex scenes -- in one scene toward the end, somebody plugged in a vibrator and the zzzt noise made it jump.

Thanks, Flip; I think I'm quite over it now -- sat up till 3 aM last night watching movies. Even smoked a J. Looking at my lb diary i ralized yesterday was in fact D.14 and not 9 or so that i was imagining, so I guess it's all in the past.

These three were all last night.., #1 started out with me reading a magazine article about some transwoman who long ago got arrested in the Sex Pistols boat-on-the-Thames incident, with a real-life transwoman (sex-worker styling) looking over my shoulder and saymg "Oh, I remember her!" I p...

oh No worries, Despel! There's even a plus side, though I don't know what the connection could be -- it's like something flicked a 'record' switch in my bran and I'm remembering dreams again, as vividly as ever before. For sure I'm hoping that continues after the disease fades. I'll try to document...

In September because May 1st is tainted with International Communism, too close to home for libruls like FDR.

Thanks.

I think it's day 7? I'm on the upswing -- 4th day was the worst, progressively better since then. doing airy-fairy meditative stuff to handle the fevers that wouldn't let me sleep.

Somebody put Covid in my drink about a week ago, so FlatOnMyAss time kinda ruined that last-minute rush to see everything. (No Mondo Trasho. Sob.)

I experienced sleep paralysis last night for the first time. Scary stuff! Distorted, disembodied voices 'from somewhere' and i felt a hostile presence that I couldn't rouse my faculties to deal with... plus an anamorphic image of myself all panic-ridden, something like the poster for Prince Of Darkn...

There's a shot... a whole sequence... that looks a lot like this in a student film from 1959...

Started my 1969 explorations with a rewatch, Chastity (Alessio de Paolo -- pseudonym? Maybe Sonny Bono?) It's one of those monstrous, misshapen, wannabe-youthy trainwreck movies, on a par with Skidoo. Maybe surpassing it. Earnest like you wouldn't believe and ... just... wrong... in every way.

L'Amour Fou is one of the more experimental ones, it's practically Out One.

Obvs, I was looking for something else, but this is rather nice, if you're a fan of the genre.

On a side note... unrelated levity... when Brittney Spears melted down, with the head-shaving and everything, I was hoping she'd go on SNL and do a song that ended with her ripping up a picture of Walt Disney.

"From the Forest of Tigers and Sprits (1998) - English subtitle" Maybe it was the typo that buggered up your search.

There's a rather neat "poet's documentary" on yout about a Hmong tribe in backwoods Thailand called From The Forest Of Tigers And Spirits -- it's sorta like if you assigned an AI the task of making a Weerasethakul movie. Less than an hour...

I can't stand those movies with a Russian narrator overdubbed onto the orig. audio...
