Obsessed with these images by Russell Lee, who photographed workers for the Farm Security Administration in the 1930s. The flat, flash-lit, abstract style of these interior shots is eerily modern to my eye.
Monochrome photo of home-made curtains Flash-lit monochrome photo of objects on a wall, including a bucket, a hat, a homemade doll Flash-lit monochrome photo of a mantlepiece with a clock, two vases, flanked by two painted family portraits Monochrome photo of a fabric wall-hanging featuring a tiger

@stabbiesetc.bsky.social drew me this incredibly dank picture of our cat Enzo, based on the poster for Enzo G. Castellari's "1990: The Bronx Warriors"
Drawing of a freaky looking cat on a motorbike. He's swinging a spiky ball and chain and the bike has a skull on it. So dank

"The Girl from Rio" (1969). Loopy Jess Franco sci-fi/spy film(?) about a city of women called "Femina". Treacle-slow pace but looks/sounds great (groovy bossa-nova soundtrack). Camp late-60s style reminded me of The Prisoner/Barbarella, or even Holy Mountain at times.
Woman with blonde hair wearing a short black vinyl poncho and long black vinyl gloves, holding a machine gun Women in red and black futuristic outfits holding guns. Also a woman with gold boots and a green bodysuit/minidress combo with a gold "S" on the front. Closeup of two women with silver eyeshadow. Barrel of a gun in shot Four people standing in an austere room with large perspex cubes. A man with a plaid jacket, a woman in a short white satin cape, a woman wearing a copper and black crop-top, pants and turban under a shiny copper cape, and a woman in a pale blue outfit who is inside one of the cubes.

Just watched "Kadaicha", a cute Australian folk-horror from 1988. Teenager Gail's friends are in danger after sharing a dream about a cursed stone. Featuring the "old Indian burial ground" trope, but about Australian colonial genocide rather than US. Starring Zoe Carides from Death in Brunswick
Zoe Carides as Gail, looking in the mirror Australian landscape, subtitles say "dark didgeridoo music" A burning skeleton A young man with freaky reptile eyes stares at camera

Lucio Fulci's gory fantasy "Conquest" (1983) = peak trash cinema. Conan/Beastmaster ripoff with wolf monsters, laser arrows, plus zombies, why not. Great synth score by Goblin's Claudio Simonetti.
Bizarre dialogue:
"My enemies call me Mace."
"What do your friends call you?"
"I have no friends."
