I see they now have Lil Baphomet stickers and Stimpy Log Lady stickers. Since I may soon treat myself to a new laptop, this feels like an auspicious thing to learn rn.
This week's #Monsterdon movie is CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN (1955), by a goddamn landslide. It's about a Nazi creating atomic zombies to help a mobster regain power? That actually sounds kind of cool, I wonder how they'll flub it. Long talky scenes? Big slabs of silence? Misogyny? All this and more, I have no doubt.
Somehow in the past week or so I've fallen back in love with the aesthetics and vibe of the Star Wars prequels (especially "Attack of the Clones") as well as the Old Republic games. Nothing else quite looks like them. I want to live in that world...
It seems a person can get married there. It's expensive for a wedding venue, but since my dream wedding doesn't involve a crowd, that helps to keep costs down, so splurging on the venue might be more financially attainable than I'd expect.

Once again it is an hour until #Monsterdon, the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid a bunch of toots about a hokey sci fi flick, block the tag.
This week features STRANGER FROM VENUS (1954), in which a bug-eyed monster tries to get Earth to turn down the bass! No, I think it's about nuclear disarmament or somesuch.
We start at 9pm eastern, and you can find the movie on Tubi or YouTube. See you there!
Criterion is releasing Bound (1996) on 4K this June, at least in the US, where it's been unavailable for quite some time. I think it's one of the best, if not the best, neo-noir film I've seen.
