Really exited about this week premiere of Us and next week of Pet Sematary.

this cracks me up:

Pitt, who plays a particularly unintelligent character, said of his role, "After reading the part, which they said was hand-written for myself, I was not sure if I should be flattered or insulted."[18] Pitt also said when he was shown the script, he told the Coens he did not know how to play the part because the character was such an idiot: "There was a pause, and then Joel goes...'You'll be fine'

Been watching a lot of sexploitation lately and finding myself loving it, so I think I’m gonna go a step further and try some vintage porn genre films. We’ll see how this goes.

Adventures in Vintage Hardcore, Part 1



This was a great starting point, because it got me very excited to explore this new cinematic frontier. Directed by Roger Watkins, best known for his infamously brutal and disturbing exploitation movie Last House on Dead End Street, this is a dark, psychological neo-noir that reminded me a lot of Only God Forgives. I like that almost all of the sex is decidedly unerotic; usually, at least one party is disinterested and detached, and the whole experience is very cold. It seems way more interested in the ruthless nature of capitalism than in getting people's rocks off. While I think the sex takes up too much of the running time, for the most part I just felt like I was watching a genuinely good (though, of course, dirt cheap) '80s genre movie with shades of Michael Mann - but one that had zero content restrictions.



Widely considered the best adult film ever made, and I can understand why. The production value is high, the acting is often legitimately good, the premise is interesting, and it explores sexual politics in American society. I enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as Corruption. I thought it was much more superficial; the thematic exploration didn't go all that deep, and I would have liked some darker payoffs to some of the psychological groundwork. Good, but not great.



The infamous Andy Milligan is a director I've only recently discovered, but I've been enjoying getting to know his work, which is primarily Z-grade horror punctuated by a few indie sexploitation dramas. This falls into the latter category (along with the fascinating Seeds and the legit-fantastic short Vapors), though it has a couple brief full-penetration scenes, pushing it just barely into the hardcore category. This is a genuinely good (though, again, dirt cheap) movie that has an undeniable, grimy, 42nd Street-in-the-'70s verisimilitude. The protagonist is a compelling, tragic figure, and there are moments of vulnerability and honesty that are nothing short of heartbreaking.

Really looking forward to continuing this journey. Next on my radar: Memories within Miss Aggie, Skin Flicks, A Climax of Blue Power, and Her Name was Lisa.

And no more catalog physical releases for anyone! Hurray!

Disney is Satan

[bune]

Yeah, I wanted to put that in my post but couldn't phrase it right. I mean, they have all this content now but there are fewer disc replication factories so obvs. it's all going to be on Disney+ instead of physical releases.

That Google gaming platform is a big salvo in the "you no longer own anything you buy from us" war. Also the "dude like 50% of the country has shit internet" war.

The idea of the vast 20th Century Fox catalog going into a digital vault forever truly makes me sad.

[bune]

The artificial scarcity of the "Disney Vault" is now replaced by the actual scarcity of the digital vault and no physical media production.
