@Thrillhouse@lemmy.world, don't take these things personally.

To the (few) users who flagged this post, while personally I agree with the sentiment of your complaint, it is a television feed of this distasteful situation which does make this post on-topic.

@realcaseyrollins@kbin.projectsegfau.lt, whatever happened to your plans for a news- and media-specific community/magazine? You must admit, this would be more appropriate there than here, no?

Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment.

 

…or just possibly screengrabs of Polar Express…?

Thank you, Blaze! 🤗

How about a non-archive.today link, please? It's insecure (http) and more often than not times out.

"Really good movie" is so subjective! Let's put it this way: if you like any of the Scheer-Harryhausen collaborations as an adult, you'll still love 20 Million. It's not 2001: A Space Odyssey but it's got one of the best stop-motion monsters, dare I say, ever!

 

It's Sunday, mein mouth-breathing mavens of the monsterous! Time for a visit to the HorrorHouse™! Today's selection, for the pedantic 200 of you out there, isn't strictly a horror film but a sub-genre, a member in a cross-section in your Horror ∩ Science-Fiction Venn diagram: the monster movie. And what an example of the monster movie it is! Featuring the always-breathtaking work of animation legend, Ray Harryhausen, 1957's 20 Million Miles to Earth!

Suspension-of-disbelief helmets strapped on tight? The movie, one of the extremely few horror or science-fiction films based in Italy ("it's sempre New York or Tokyo!"), tells of an alien egg brought back to Earth by the first explorers to Venus. This egg hatches and gives birth to a little monster that in no time at all—spoiler!—becomes a big monster and wrecks havoc in Rome. Aww… did I give something away?

Obviously important to cinema history (MovieSnob never sleeps) is Harryhausen's beautiful stop-motion work, the classic scenes at the Colosseum especially be to noted. One thing TIL that Harryhausen shot in Rome because he wanted to vacation there! Hey, films have been shot for more self-serving reasons.

YouTube Link to the movie…

Google-free links…

So, sorry for the slight deviation in programming…no, no I'm not and you all like deviations anyway! See you next week, my knuckledragging nightcrawlers, here at Mongoose’s Drive-In HorrorHouse™! And remember…Parma spelled backwards is AMRAP!

MovieSnob Seal of Approval! 🏆 👍

Over the top of over the top! Flying saucers from outer space…check! Absurd, drug-fueled cartoon characters…check! Thai zombies with exploding heads…check! Loud, fast, distorted rock 'n roll…CHECK! ALL SYSTEMS GO!

We're talking about the lo-fi, lo-budget Wild Zero, the 1999 punk rock Night of The Living Dead starring power trio Guitar Wolf. This Japanese cult film pays homage to all things rock 'n roll filtered through western Pacific sensibilities. Framed within the buzzsaw roars of Guitar Wolf's "jet rock 'n' roll", you're gonna get cars, motorbikes and microphones that spit fire like the 1966 Batmobile! Of course there's the Yakuza and gallons of fake blood! There's even military-grade weaponry that wouldn't seem out of place in Michigan's upper penninsula! Oh, and the soul searching…

It's a bunch of stupid fun for the whole family…if your surname is Addams or Manson! See it!

Love knows no nationalities, genders or borders! Rock and roll!

Color me embarassed. Link has been corrected. The responsible LinkMonkey(s)™ will be severely reprimanded!

Afterthought EDIT: thanks for bringing that to my attention. I was wondering if anybody was clicking any of the links.

 

Saw the 2021 documentary about the life of actor Paul Newman the other day, Pierre-François Gaudry's Paul Newman, derrière les yeux bleus (Paul Newman, Behind Blue Eyes). It's hard not to make a film about Newman's life without sanctifying the man, although he really did come close with all of his humanitarian work aside from all of the iconic roles he'd played in his career. But I'm not here to list his filmography nor his philantrophic endeavors today. Possibly another time.

Something Newman said, it had to be around 1977-1980 (it's unclear from the film exactly when), stuck with me as it's as timely today as it was 40-odd years ago—maybe more so.

It's very hard to take a lot of pride in your craft if the three biggest stars in America are two robots and a shark.
