The Threshold Gamefound Campaign launches today!!
I'm incredibly excited about this game. I spent several months this past year writing content for it, including the world bible, main quest line, and side quests, events, and adventures in the first region.

My love for the first film is disproportionate to its modestly positive reviews. It's a CHEESY NORWEGIAN KAIJU COMEDY. It's perfect.

For me, the answer is usually "any Shaw Brothers film that includes a tea house and a river," but what film's created set (not real location) would you love to live inside?

Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror is a loving documentary by Richard O’Brian’s son Liam of the stage/screen/stage phenomenon that made a mild fan like me keen to secure a ticket to the next shadow-cast show that isn’t sold out.

For a few hours tonight I can try to forget the Apocalypse and enjoy Argento’s Suspiria with a live accompaniment by Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin, followed by a short concert.

D(e)ad is an indy charmer about a woman whose father's ghost refuses to haunt her. The comic dialogue snaps. I saw it with an appreciative audience, and now I'm a fan of writer/star Isabella Roland.
It screens again at Metro Cinema on Thursday. Recommended.
