Coming this Sunday at 9pm Eastern time, it's #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party!
This week we're watching CRITTERS 2: THE MAIN COURSE (1988). If you missed the first one when we watched it two weeks ago, don't worry, all you need to know is the critters are small furry jerks and they blow up real nice.
Alas not on Archive.org, the film's available over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/100001410/critters-2-the-main-course

Ce n’est pas que l’on attende grand chose du nouveau président américain Donald Trump mais au moins des termes de la négociations plus directs, débarrassés du fatras et de l’hypocrisie habituelle, une entente au sommet sur le caractère inutile de cette guerre perdue d’avance. Zelenski comme les autres « dirigeants » européens (y compris Macron) vont devoir rendre des comptes. Ils n’ont même pas un mois devant eux pour monter une provocation qui empêche la résolution de ce terrain-là. Le coup de la présence des nord-coréens étant un peu faible pour emporter l’adhésion à la guerre y compris en France, même si Cohn Bendit s’y colle, tous ces gens sont aussi usés que Manuel Valls comme figure de gauche… mais est-ce que Macron a réellement renoncé à envoyer une troupe de paix en Ukraine, un contingent rapatrié du Mali par exemple ? on s’interroge (note de Danielle Bleitrach traduction de Marianne Dunlop) https://vz.ru/opinions/2024/12/27/1305695.html Il reste moins d’un mois avant l’investiture du nouveau président américain Donald Trump – et le début de la mise en œuvre de ses idées radicales (du point de vue de l’establishment de la politique étrangère américaine). L’une d’entre elles consiste à mettre fin à la guerre en Ukraine …

Eén van de beste films van de jaren 60 en zeg nu niet dat je 'm nog niet zag. (don't ruin my day) Visionair. Geïnspireerd. Geniaal. Tijdloos. Onovertroffen.
Several trailers exist, this is my favourite.
(when movie trailers were a true work of art on their own)

One year ago today I posted this miniature Jurassic Park photo I created using figures and miniature sets...
This Sunday at 9 eastern once again it is #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come watch a bad movie with a couple thousand of your best friends :D
This week we're watching YETI: GIANT OF THE 20TH CENTURY (1977), which looks to be an Italian version of Cry Wilderness (1987). I hope an eagle gouges a man's eyes out in this flick, too.
The film's on Tubi and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywr1316LeME), but alas not on Archive.org. Ah well.
Folks it is about an hour until #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid a flood of goofy toots, I recommend setting up a hashtag filter in your preferences.
If you'd like to join in, we're watching CRITTERS (1986) this week, one o' them Gremlins-alikes. You can catch it for free over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/100001406/critters
We start at 9pm eastern! Be there or be a small dubiously constructed rubber mammal!

3 things about Steve De Jarnatt’s MIRACLE MILE [1988]
1. They choose to spend their last moment’s eating at Canters Deli and who can blame them?
2. Dying at the bottom of an escalator.
3. Tar pit crash.

I recently saw #GermanActress #LeonieBenesch give a great performance in the #film #September5. On further research I realized I had seen her previously in films like 2009s #TheWhiteRibbon + 2023s #TheTeachersLounge as well as the TV series #TheCrown, #BabylonBerlin + #ViennaBlood. Her ability to give subtle yet noteworthy performances is why I see her now as '#OneToWatch'
The Big Lebowski was released in movie theaters 27 years ago today.
One of those movies that is endlessly quotable.
That rug really did tie the room together.
This Sunday at 9pm, once again it is #MONSTERDON your weekly monster movie watch party! Join us to watch a bad horror movie!
This week's film is CRITTERS (1986), one of those creepy-cute gremlin monster movies that came out in the aftermath of Gremlins. Come see M. Emmet Walsh as the sweatiest sheriff this side of the Mason-Dixon!
Alas not available on Archive.org, the film is on Tubi right over here: https://tubitv.com/movies/100001406/critters
Six years after "Parasite," Bong Joon-ho is releasing a new movie, "Mickey 17." A sci-fi film starring Robert Pattinson, it tells the story of a worker who takes on dangerous assignments on new planets on the basis that he will be cloned if he dies. Bong spoke to NBC about working with Pattinson, Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette and Steven Yeun on the movie, and how he stayed grounded after the massive success of "Parasite." “Now I’m 55, so I’m past the age where I might get carried away, overly excited, or suddenly change my values,” Bong said.
Now free for all to read... Over the decades, I've visited a lot of cinemas - from dilapidated old venues to grand historic movie houses. Here are the highlights:
Missed the Oscars last night? If you were on Mastodon and you follow us, you know that we were here for every win, loss, and disgusting gum toss. Here's our @Flipboard Storyboard about everything that happened.
Gints Zilbalodis' previous movie Away was beautiful too.

Really hoping Flow will make it to smaller cinemas so I can watch it on the big screen.
