Cinema Strikes Backさんのイラストまとめ

#NowWatching Inu-Oh (2021) - An honest-to-god f’in psychedelic rock opera! Don’t see many of those these days. As always with Masaaki Yuasa, the narrative fades before the music and idiosyncratic animation, and the spectacular dance numbers. I dug it. Recommended.

Folks, I’ve seen it before but if you haven’t, mother-f’in Shanty Tramp is on Tubi for free. Do yourself a favor.

"I'm going to show that shanty tramp the power and the glory..."

#nowwatching Final Flesh (2009) - went to the @AlamoNYC screening by @Bleeding_Skull and @filmarchive on a literal last minute whim and glad I did, that was a unique experience. Awkward, uncomfortable, funny as fuck, like Ionesco’s Rhinoceros but with 150% more tits and dick. /1

Stuck in bed with Covid, catching up on some books I’ve had sitting around. Giganto Maxia, a one shot from Berserk’s Kentaro Miura, kind of like Road Warrior mixed with Godzilla style kaiju wrasslin’. Amazing art, beetle man suplex, plus water sports. Wild shit.

#NowWatching The Devil Strikes at Night (1957) - In which a mass murderer is but a child before the concentrated bureaucratic evil of the Gestapo. Part of the fascinating German tradition of unconventional serial killer films, from M to Angst.

#Shocktober #18 A Return to Salem’s Lot (1987) - Cohen’s answer to what post-vamp Salem’s Lot would look like? A mix of Amish and New England Republican, living on cows and stray punks, boasting that they came over with the Mayflower and don’t need no govt subsidies. Buck-wild! https://t.co/oWVeoi9eMY

#Shocktober #4 Possession (1981) - I’m still reeling from this 4k restoration @MetrographNYC - felt like if Marriage Story had a baby with Videodrome. MVPs Heinz Bennent as the supremely weird and confident third wheel Heinrich, and Isabelle Adjani, who GOES for it. https://t.co/wcFfkvW8jj

#AniMay Space Battleship Yamato (1974-75) - finally watched the ur-text, its DNA is everywhere (Macross/Robotech, Evangelion, maybe Star Wars). Glorious, epic space opera as the Yamato and its crew travel across the universe to save Earth and defeat evil space fascists. [Thread] https://t.co/ugEM7vOUzg

#NowWatching Diamantino (2019) - A gender-bending, MAGA-baiting, occasionally heartfelt comedy-intrigue about the world’s dumbest, sweetest soccer star (pitch-perfect Carloto Cotta) and the adult lesbian Secret Service agent posing as his adopted refugee son who loves him.
