Hard to catch everything in pictures, it's insanely populated :)
My haul today contains some stuff on paper as well. I was supposed to get two more volumes of Tales from the Crypt, but delivery failed, whatever that means ultimately.

That Crow steelbook is nice. Very nice. And I will show it to you tomorrow. Don't be greedy...

This shit is amazing: brought to you by the genius behind Psycho Goreman and The Void, Steven Kostanski. I can envision 13 year old me walking to the video store to rent this. In the rain. The gore is glorious, the intentional schlock is a treat. Sequel! Now!

Lunch hour at the local sushi place. Time to worship the fat maneki neko god.

Another banger remake that can stand up to its predecessor, coming at us from the maker of Dream Warriors. Adding heavier gore and cool practical effects was the way to go. The cast is excellent and some deaths are really surprising.

Fukasaku is relentless, and his pseudo newsreel style takes you right into the heart of the action. A lot of directors nowadays imitate this type of shaky action cam, but hardly anyone delivers the same poignancy. There's a total of 8 films in this series.

A remake that worked because everyone involved took it seriously. Also, the original is so recognizably 40s and this is so 80s. They both embrace their decades and don't clash. One of the reasons most modern remakes suck is that the last 25 years had no distinct character.

More relevant today than when it came out, this cautionary tale about not putting all power in the hands of machines has aged quite well. It's "War Games" for grown-ups. It doesn't try to please, it just keeps getting meaner. If you liked Andromeda Strain, you'll like this.

New haul is on the shelves. Only one movie I haven't seen before.

The "skin" on Godzilla is textured. Feels nice to the touch. It's unfortunately a bit reflective too, so taking a picture is a bit of a problem.

This thing had Anton Lavey on board as consultant, which is probably why it feels so realistic *sarcasm*. Shatner has resting Michael Myers face and Borgnine's makeup may have been the inspiration for the one worn by Bacon in Toxic Avenger? Crazy fun.

Age verification? I had to rewind porn.

As with any remake, I was reluctant to even see this. The cast is excellent and production values are better than anything else that ever came out of Troma. I think that's also its fault. It looks too good, in a way. I still recommend it. It has a good message.

Bad acting, a mid story, terrible cinematography and cringe dialog; but there are interesting ideas buried in this mess. There's also tons of gore, a pretty good soundtrack and some bloody (syrupy) girl on girl action. Didn't like it as much as Red Lips, but it's OK.

Audiobooks are great when you are too sleepy to read. Somehow I periodically keep getting these promotions on my Amazon account, so I haven't paid for an Audible book in 15 years.

This is a very interesting story. I've heard about Yasuke before, but now I've learned more. Would be a cool movie too.

A fun documentary about the childhood cult classic for many of us.

I grew up in the 80s and was all over the new movies then, but Hammer was just as much part of the viewing selection. I feel like we were more exposed to older stuff than kids are today, and they're unfortunately missing out.

A fun comedy, naturally aimed at teens. Seeing it again after so many years hasn't diminished its charm, but, since the characters can get off a chair without groaning, I can no longer identify with them...

I miss David Warner.

I used to have these in 6th grade and now I found and bought them again. Cost me twice as much as the shoes I'll put them on, but it's worth it 😁

Another one for my fellow intellectual friends.

Try placing a nudity label on this one, Bluesky...

Impactful movie. I've seen it first when I was 7 or something, and didn't really understand it. As in why would people even do that?

Ah, to be a naive child again...

Great looking cover too.

This is a nice release. Got it off Ebay a while ago. Mine comes without the slipcase, unfortunately.
