So when filming in Bulgaria, you massacre Chainsaw?

Ha! That is it exactly, especially the open-mouthed expression of second-from-left.

No, that’s the main character in Gilda.

The art looks, ahem, fantastic, but it would be great just for “BLACK WHEAT-OS” alone.

Is Charlie Day wearing Mickey Mouse gloves in that last photo? Get some tan in those hands!

Really? Did Mel Gibson get canceled again?

The way he falls back! Straight cartoon shit. And yeah, Knoxville could not be happier and why shouldn’t he be.

Passionate about the rights of animals, or beaten/bitten/stung into submission by them and begging for their mercy?

I don’t know about piece of shit territory, but he has a vibe of “dishing it out but not able to take it” that is at odds with everyone else. 

“Likewise, a follow-up to “High Five,” involving Machine Gun Kelly and an ice-cold swimming pool, doesn’t deliver in the ways its progenitor did.”

I think Defending Your Life sort of cops out at the end but I was blown away by Streep in it, and it’s in how she does something discussed below -- play nice. She is a practically perfect person and instead of that being obnoxious it’s easy to fall for her just like Brooks does. Great performance and I think it gets…

“Rather than make any attempt to join his family, he deposits himself on a plastic chair by the shore and makes his way through a bucket of beers while the ocean laps at his feet.”

Thanks for the additional context here, it’s what I figured. Fuck these ghouls. Anyone who composes the Land of Chocolate music should have a job for life. 

“Look, I’ve liked and even loved plenty of horror movies of the so-called “elevated” persuasion—especially ones that remember to be genuinely scary while meditating solemnly on grief and trauma and all that. But I’m also becoming concerned that we may be getting to a point where the only way to secure financing for a…

I need to read his novels, his 33 1/3 on Black Sabbath’s Master of Reality is one of my favorite pieces of music writing. And it seems to have some overlap here with its focus on a troubled kid finding something important that adults refuse to acknowledge in art that is about pain and horror. 

Holy shit, Burl! Ha ha! Good to see you, man. And right back at you — I like to think I go off the beaten path in search of weirdo movies but you have an incredible depth of knowledge of cool schlock (very befitting a Dick Miller fan) and your comments showed it, glad you got a chance to publish a few things here.

He and other folks are here until the beginning of March, so I’ll stick around until then, I want to support good work (also, I hope Dowd goes out on a C+, for old time’s sake). But then I’m finally done. It’s notable that Noel Murray and a lot of other freelancers are walking away from the site as well because of how…

Oh wow, never knew that! The Family is really cool but I think it’s hard to adapt Bradbury’s shorts into something feature-length.

“Belle’s reality is much like our own: Anything that draws any notice at all affords an opportunity for internet randos to offer an opinion.”

This is an excellent reminder that I can just watch Haywire again.
