The album is by turns: amateurish, haunting, deranged, ridiculous and (for those attuned to these things) filled with crackling negative psychic energies. So much so that Light In The Attic flat out refuses to reissue it.
:D

joe bob briggs' shudder show the last drive-in showed mandy (w/ dead and buried) on friday; joe bob doesn't really provide a lot of new insight for me because i've already read a lot about the making of this movie but it's still fun to watch him talk about it

Peter Weller absolutely kills it, in a good way I mean

watched this last nite, loved it

Thought it was a long build-up to not much, unfortunately. Weller was fun, can't remember the last time I saw him in something. Eric Andre and Charlyne Yi also very good.

I finally saw "Mandy." I don't know if it's any good, but it's definitely great.

I want FromSoft to make a Souls game about it
Beyond the Black Rainbow is decent as well. I'm starting to like what this director does, despite not really being in the mood for Mandy the first time I attempted watching it.

It felt like a cross between "Evil Dead II" and (appropriately enough) "Raising Arizona."

I saw Mandy just once when it came out but one thing I recall is that it's free of firearms? Like tons of crossbow violence but no actual guns

I think one of the devil bikers fires a gun at Cage before he gets run over.

Watched this a second time recently with my kids, who hadn't seen it. I think I enjoyed it even more the second time, just sinking into the spacey lunatic vibe.

Probably make a good double feature with that Nic Cage Lovecraft movie.

It's just, how do I put this, a confluence of all the aesthetics I like and it's the film that really made me appreciate Cage

I'm still on the fence about him. I just read "The Age of Cage" and couldn't come to any conclusion other than: sometimes his stuff works, sometimes it doesn't, it really has little to do with the quality of the film he's in, and I'll miss him when he's gone. There were a couple of really specific things in this one that I suspect he inserted, like references to the Carpenters and Galactus, and honestly, I found them distracting enough (however fleeting) to take me out of the movie a bit. I also thought he was maybe a little too old for the role, but when you're one of one there aren't a lot of alternatives. Though the bad guy gave some serious Cage vibes himself.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 6 June 2023 21:25 (nine months ago) link
Cage was originally going to play the bad guy. I admit I'm so-so about the Carpenters thing because, much as I get what he's trying to do, the idea that you'd have to be a narcissistic psychopath to enjoy them doesn't chime well with me

I liked this a lot more in the first half than the second - still great to look at but the slow creeping dread was much more interesting than the bloody revenge flick.
