THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MISS OSBOURNE (1981, W. Borowczyk)

Like all conversations worth having, the atomizing of culture is now at the "I need an intellectual reason to hate something" stage. Goodie. As an allegedly irrelevant band once said: piped.video/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm…

VIDEODROME (1983, D. Cronenberg)

CINEASTE, the ultimate deep-dive film magazine for 60 years, has always been non-profit, with a volunteer staff, but now needs donations to avoid the long line of print journals that have disappeared. Please give them money, nobody does what they do. cineaste.com

Amazing night with @awhitetable and @gknout seeing the fully restored The Devils in 35mm! Do NOT miss this folks, I’ve seen The Devils with the spliced in footage before, but seeing Ken’s true vision was like seeing it for the first time!

Al Green and Chicago performing “I’m So Tired of Being Alone”. Look at those happy faces!

LITAN (1982, J-P Mocky)

OUTLAND (1981, P. Hyams)

My heart says Herrmann's OBSESSION (video on it coming soon), but honestly, Jerry Goldsmith was always the bridesmaid and never the bride so many times, THE OMEN is both a career-Oscar incognito, but also a testament to how powerfully terrifying it is both in & out of context.

BELLADONNA OF SADNESS (1973, E. Yamamoto)

The VHS release of Gremlins 2: The New Batch had a brilliant fourth-wall meta gag. In theatres, halfway through, the “film” seems to melt, the screen goes black, and the Gremlins take over the projection booth. Hulk Hogan (in the audience) rips his shirt off, threatens them, and the movie restarts. Joe Dante knew that gag wouldn’t work at home, so for the VHS release he filmed an entirely new version: this time, it looks like the Gremlins have gotten inside your VCR, and Hogan is replaced by John Wayne. Which, with modern eyes, looks like AI. It kinda backfired and caused real confusion (much to Dante's delight). Video rental stores reported some gullible customers returning tapes for refunds, convinced the copy was defective. Later DVD standard editions restored the theatrical Hogan version, but the John Wayne scene became so beloved it often appears on physical releases as a bonus feature.

#TheBearandtheBean is MGM toons at their best, Barney even utter the Tom Cat scream at one point; during this #SpeedRacer episode, Speed is really a jerk to Trixie, or maybe something got lost in translation; #BreakingBear is totally high concept, but if you like gross humor…

#SaturdayMorningCartoons today: #TheBearandtheBean: Barney is bedeviled by a Mexican jumping bean. #SpeedRacer: Speed helps a disabled driver on The Snake Track. #ThundertheBarbarian: A cool monster has snakes for arms. #BreakingBear: Breaking Bad meets Yogi and Booboo.

Now THAT is a combination. #svengoolie

THE TRAGEDY OF MAN (2011, M. Jankovics)

I distinctly remember my Dad watching Cool Hand Land (one of his favorites) and being like, "the salad dressing guy can act?!?!"
