I haven't used this account in months, but I'll be back on here. I'll try to intersperse boosting fundraisers and politics-posting with the backlog of letterboxd reviews I've built up.

I'll admit I only watched this one for its tenuous cipher connection with Longlegs. It was a mistake I'll be repeating with better movies (Silence of the Lambs, etc.)

Review of ‘Zodiac’ (2007) ★★

Too little of the good stuff and too much of the boring. I prefer a tight 90 to an epic, admittedly, but Zodiac's 2:42 runtime took me three sittings to watch. RDJ makes use of his entire range to…

I don't just review movies I like, I also review the ones that take me 3 days to finish.

Review of ‘Death Walks on High Heels’ (1971) ★★

On paper, it has all the necessary ingredients of a fun giallo in its first half. It moves quickly from a mysterious train murder to the life of stripper Nicole (Nieves Navarro) and her insecure…

Please help a Lakota comrade & organizer fund support for the Sundance ceremony on Pine Ridge. They are trying to raise $12k by August to build a kitchen to feed the kids, a tipi for the ceremony, compensate ceremony organizers for their labor, etc.

Summer Fundraiser for Sundance
Bring buffalo and buffalo berries back

This August is the annual Sundance, a sacred ceremony for the Oglala Lakota on Pine Ridge Reservation. Our goal is to raise funds for food, building materials (for a new kitchen), traveling costs, and other needed items for the ceremony.

Pine Ridge is the poorest place inside the so-called US. Please help keep this long standing tradition alive by sharing and donating.

Goal: $12,000

List of Expenses
Goal: $12k

$5k = building materials for the camp
$2k = transportation costs
$1.6k = tipi for ceremonial use
$500 = cooking equipment
$200 = labor for auntie providing a wopila (thank you) meal
$400 = labor for dancers
$200 = sassafras (herbal medicine)
All other funds for other misc. materials + ceremonial items + for organizers

Help Support Lakota Ceremony and Community
$135 raised of $12,000 goal = 6 donations
Sungmanitou Roy is organizing this fundraiser

Hello my relatives, I am Sungmanitu, I am an Oglala Lakota person who organizes to help people in need on my reservation; which is the poorest place in America. It is an 85-95% unemployment rate, so money is our biggest hurdle and one we constantly find ways to overcome. Our goal is to fundraise money for travel cost of organizers, food for the people, lumber to build a kitchen specifically to serve the kids and the rest of the materials needed for the adult kitchen. This is all for a annual ceremony we have, called Sundance, and the need for 2 kitchens comes from the traditions of who gets fed and when based on ceremonial roles. This leaves the kids hungry and parents with cranky kids, or having to drive half an hour away to get over priced gas station food.

Somehow made it to 30 without seeing this movie. I'm glad I went in knowing virtually nothing because I thought there would be a lot more cenobite screentime, and they were more effective for being held off for so long.
