Iron Fist!

No, I don't have anything to say about it... yet! It's Netflix/Marvel's 4th show, leading up the FIFTH show, "The Defenders", which is going to be bad-ass! Daredevil is a fantastic series, Jessica Jones was dark as fuck, and Luke Cage was blaxploitation. Iron Fist looks to be a rip-off of CW's Arrow, but since it's netflix, it'll actually be good.

I'm about to get started on my binge watch.

What's your most morbid curiousity?

I'm not referring to showing up at work and blowing your least favorite twat away.
Been there, done that (almost).

I guess I'm referring to method of homicide/suicide.
If I had to go, I think blowing myself away would be too easy, and slashing one's wrists
isn't as easy as it sounds.
I'd slowly but surely collect each black widow I kill.
After about 18, I'd take my blender and make myself a widow shake, with orange juice perhaps.
I suppose their venom dries out a little after their death, but I imagine it'd still be potent enough.
What is thy morbid curiousity, if any?

Movies you had to learn to appreciate?

Fortress and Cat O' Nine Tails.

When I first saw Fortress,
I was expecting something grittier and tougher, ala ''The Escape From NY of the 90's''.
But I've learned to appreciate it, and I currently have it ranked #5 on my all-time list.
It has such a polished look to it, Lambert's character is infinitely unselfish, and the scenes with his wife are simply memorable.
7/10

I think Nine Tails highly raised my expectation with it's title alone, especially since it's a 70's release.
The picture/dubbing are bland and, like most giallos, is deliberately-paced.
But I've developed an appreciation for it over the years, as it has it's moments,
the performances are satisfactory, and the blonde has a good-sized tank for a skinny dame.

Happy Birthday, Ricky

It's Robb Wells' bornt-day today. I'm gonna have to drunk and high tonight. That's like getting two birds stoned at once tonight. It's time for two turnips in heat.

Video Nasties

So I've seen most of all of them but I''am rewatching all of them in Alphabetically order.
I'am two down with watching Absurd (1981) and Anthrophagus: The Grim Reaper (1980) but I''am skipping Axe (1977) cause I didn't care for it the first saw it, Axe fans please don't ream my ass. Lol

I was wondering from any of you guys/girls here if there are you recommend I skip that aren't so great.

Thank You

Threads (1984)... a little Chuck Berry tribute

Threads is an unbelievably terrifying nuclear war movie, set in Sheffield, England. If you haven't seen it, you should get on top of that situation. Anyway, they play Johnny B. Goode a couple of times in it, perhaps suggesting that maybe we should all try to be good and not start nuclear wars.

RIP Chuck Berry.

Monkey Business

I have nothing fresh to show, and not a lot of older stuff saved. Big thing for me is artistic blocks, I seldom start and even more rarely finish. In a mood lately to try to kickstart something. Few things in mind, we'll see.

Hell, how do I post images? Let's see if this works...

(edit, no, that wasn't it...)

There, that's better. I'm not a computer arts guy, it's rough.



Holy fuck! I'm getting the red warning! I feel so at home!!
Okay, try this...





Done in .3mm mechanical pencil on medium texture drawing paper, that's roughly half size? Close friend Jesseca from the Dario Argento BBS.



Ballpoint pen on typing paper, Carole Ann Ford from Doctor Who.


A friend from high school, Dana, .3mm pencil on drawing paper. Dana was an extra in at least 3 John Hoghes movies - this is from a screencap from toward the end of Pretty in Pink.

unfinished, .3mm, very large. Doing hair is intimidating to me.

Chuck Berry

I can honestly say I don't know a single song of his besides the one Marty McFly gave him in Back to the Future, "Johnny B. Goode".

Still, I listen to a lot of classic rock from the 70s, and I know those guys where bigtime influenced by the blues and rock stuff from old timey (black) performers from before that. It's the end of yet another era, I suppose.

His last album was 38 years ago? 1979? And he's got a new one coming out this fall.

Made-for-TV Movies

It's kind of a genre in itself. Something not good enough to make it theatrical? Or is it all about low budgets? Or runtime? Some of these things run so long, they have to be cut up into 2, 3, or even more parts. I guess mini-series can count, if it's short enough.

Examples:

Any more?
