A renaissance josei who loves to cook, read, and game. Moonlights as a Manga Test Driver. Puts way too much thought into con panels. She/her. Transphobes and redhats can fuck off. http://mangatestdrive.blogspot.com/
Admittedly, the cover for that did lead to one of my favorite pieces of Gundam fanart ever.

He's not fat, he's mostly floof!

His brother, on the other hand...

After a hearty Italian dinner, I'm back at Filmscene for Slap Shop, a 1970s sports comedy.

First of all, LOL. You can't replicate the virality of something like "girl in sequined dress falls for plastic obsessed crow boy," especially to sell some shit Chardonnay.

Secondly, I'm pretty sure this cover is AI generated.

There's the obvious parallel in looks, but also in the sense that both of you are boss ladies who have to manage a lot of different people and tasks on the down-low.

Oh why not, it might be interesting.

We all wish we could be as cozy as Alphonse is right now.

Oh this dude was the biggest highlight of the Cuomo failure party livestream. Just some drunken, red-faced crank waving around this sign for 5 minutes while security tries to shuffle him away.

Oh now there's some drunken, red-faced Silwa supporter with a homemade sign trying to rile up the crowd at Cuomo's failure party.

Oh wow, you weren't kidding.

For the love of god ladies, stopping getting all your buccal fat removed!

And as I pack away all the spooky things, all that's left is to look in that goodie bag...

And that's it for this year's #horrormeganthon! My final total was 36 films (31 new-to-me daily movies + 5 new-to-me ones at FilmScream).
November 1, 2025 at 3:09 PM
But that's it for FilmScream for another year! And I got both a free pass and a kick ass shirt in the process.

I loved it so much I bought the 4K set right afterwards.

Time for a pizza break and a glass of Purple Reign, a kettle sour from a Dubuque brewery made with purple drink mix (among other things)

It really does taste like grape candy!

Next up, film #2: The Church.
November 1, 2025 at 3:26 AM
Alright, got my goodies, got my drink, time to settle in for previews and film #1: Sugar Rot.

Took the opportunity to pick up the latest Danza Macabre set, since I had been eyeing it previously and they had it at a good price.

This year is special in that this FilmScream is sponsored by no less than Severin Films! They've got a booth in the lobby along with branded goodie bags from everyone.

OMG it finally happened. I finally found a good ramen restaurant in Iowa.

(Paper Crane in Iowa City, in case you wondered. Ignore the fact this is mazesoba instead of ramen.)

Don't worry though - I'm still being responsible about masking when I'm not actively eating or drinking. Plus, my face mask goes so well with tonight's look!
October 31, 2025 at 11:37 PM
What for? Why, tonight is Filmscream, the annual all-night horror movie marathon at my favorite movie theater!
October 31, 2025 at 10:21 PM
I'm sporting a witchy look this Halloween.

Taking one last trip to the graveyard with this year's token Corman horror - The Premature Burial, the third in his Poe adaptations and the only one not to feature Vincent Price.

This fact, unfortunately, is the film's big undoing. #horrormeganthon

Have you ever had a first date go so badly that you end up lost in a cemetery with a pissy dweeb who just wanted to bone, only to lose your mind and become obsessed with death?

That's pretty much The Iron Rose in a nutshell. #horrormeganthon

"Well, I kinda liked The Beyond and Zombi was alright, so maybe I should watch another Lucio Fulci film this year, maybe something like The House By the Cemetery?"

Oh me, you poor dumb fool. #horrormeganthon
