    Gar. Bage. I’m not sure how we’re getting Dracula, who’s been doing to same thing for a fucking century and a quarter, defrosted and reheated AGAIN, maybe the single most over-adapted novel of all time, yet people are praising this as if it isn’t the stalest mustiest horseshit dug up from the public domain but with some “fresh but also still conveniently public domain” arthouse cred IP slapped on top in order to arbitrarily distinguish itself from the pandemic of…

    Halloween Month 2024: Spooky Sonnets

    In a world that time forgot, barfed up from
    The kinky fever dreams of film noir,
    Two insane murderesses find a bum
    Who may be a PI on search afar
    For the abstraction of Laura, missing.
    Psycho-sexual madness sends these three,
    With slave and master erased by kissing,
    To the depths of plotless inanity.
    Bacchanalian feasts with puke-dried lips
    Lead to kitchen knife dildoes and death.
    Their endless BDSM fiction tips
    From pain of the flesh to stopping of breath.
    In the end, cinema is but a lie
    You craft your own narrative and then you die.

    Comic book movies are no longer fun
    We’ve had them so long they’ve begun to devour
    All genres they border, increasing their power
    When looking at funny books searching for truth
    Its akin to a mouth lacking even one tooth
    A mastermind clown is a silly conceit
    It’s nonsense for kids, not some artistic feat
    But apparently I should be somber and still
    And…

    When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth

    Harryhausen’s “One Million Years B.C.” was a prehistoric monster-sized hit for Hammer Studios, so while there’s little surprise in this shameless carbon copy’s existence, there’s absolutely no excuse for how thoroughly it tests your patience. This is not a film with an identity of its own, having expanded the occasional fake caveman speak from the earlier picture into a downright talky screenplay, as if there’s actual drama going on and not a bunch of adults screaming the same 3 nonsense…
