  All That Glitters Is A Maresnest 1990

  Watched 27 Oct 2024

  just a great concert film, and one where a lot of love and effort has clearly been put in to do as much justice to the band's 'burning circus tent' energy as it does, from the interstitials of everybody acting like a horror movie serial killer family to each other right down to the rhythm of the cuts. an important moment in Cardiacs history, and moreover, a really good performance to remember Tim Smith and Tim Quy by. also, available on the director's own youtube channel for free!

Keri Russell rocks

  Suikoden Demon Century 1993

  Watched 02 Nov 2023

  watched this specifically because the text on the box art that says “Knife… Sword… Gun… The Deadliest Weapon Of All… …Is The Human Animal” made me laugh and I don’t know if it was worth it but sometimes a goofy OVA is what you need, in your heart. it felt nice to know that something resembling the video store experience is replicable by reading IMDb lists while high. surprisingly(?) transphobic at times but the trans(??) character is cute and cool so it’s fine(???) actually
