Gus Van Sant’s bricolage road movie of Falstaff, lost parents, painful unrequited love, hustling the streets and highways of America. We’re not in Kansas anymore. #Film #RiverPhoenix #GusVanSant My ★★★★ review of My Own Private Idaho on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/e0sZ9V

@kkarhan@infosec.space @Cathoderaytube@gamepad.club Please stop tagging me into this. I am not involved in this at all. I don’t know why I’ve been dragged into this. Thanks.

My comprehensive look at Hammer's 'Captain Kronos-Vampire Hunter' (1974), Brian Clemens' witty, genre-busting horror Western and celebrating its 50th Anniversary with cinema and 4K UHD home entertainment releases. #filmreview #hammerhorror #horstjanson https://medium.com/cathode-ray-tube/hammer-at-90-captain-kronos-vampire-hunter-1974-c2fcf37b3a76

My revised essay on Joseph Losey and Harold Pinter’s seminal film excavation of class and sexuality, THE SERVANT (1963).

Contributor’s copy of Fantastic Fifties arrived. Great I still get to write about all kinds of films and Hemlock put mags out considering how perilous print publishing is these days. https://www.hemlockbooks.co.uk/Shop/category/16 Issue 22 features my essay on Curt Siodmak’s B movie Bride of the Gorilla. #Movies #Writing
