It's been about three decades since I first watched ZARDOZ for the one and only time. I have now upgraded my opinion from "utter disaster" to "fascinating folly". Give me one two more rewatches and I may declare this a masterpiece.

I've always thought that WEEDS ripped its premise from BREAKING BAD but today noticed that it premiered three years prior to that show so that it was in fact the other way round.

I think I'll be starting a petition for a moratorium on any mention of Occam's Razor in crime film or fiction of any type. It's become such a tired cliché.

Saw Gabriel Byrne last night at the Cork Film Festival.
In actual fact sat right behind him when DEFENCE OF THE REALM was shown.

And the true cinematic discovery in 2025 for me... is a film from 1973: HOLLYWOOD 90028

Really enjoyed guesting on yet another podcast episode so close after the last one and continuing the Simulacron-3 discussion.

Great choice of films.

I have never managed to finish a single LB challenge as my viewing habits are way too scatterbrained and I seem to lack the discipline to stay the course.
It's October 2025. #NowWatching thread below. Can't believe it.

I am months behind with updating my photography website but am slowly catching up again.
These are from a steampunk shoot at an abandoned railroad track in April.
I also started experimenting with medium format.

Some samples here; the rest on my website:

The Diabolical Dr. Z. 1966. Terrific fusion of gothic horror and sci-fi thriller from an era when Franco put style before sleaze. Strikingly shot, utterly unique.

Kitty March: Now you go on and paint.
Christopher Cross: Can I paint you?
Kitty March: Well, I was going to do this myself, but, uh...
[hands him toenail polish]
Kitty March: Paint me, Chris!... They'll be masterpieces.

Guess I just found my movie to watch for tonight.
#31DaysofHorror Day 22

THE DAUGHTER OF DR. JEKYLL (1957), Edgar G Ulmer

The child of a were-quack fears she may inherit more than his estate in this backlot monster mash cheapie proximal to I Was a Teenage Werewolf, its salient queer-coded female lycanthropy somewhat undone by a gaslighting twist.

If you (like me!) were under the impression that Bryan Edgar and Penelope Wallace were the only illustrious Edgar Wallace descendants, then you're in for a big surprise.
