What Are You Watching Right Now?

I watched The Flying Luna Clipper (1987) earlier tonight.


This film is one of the most surreal anime releases ever made, following anthropomorphic fruits and vegetables on an ultra-trippy flying journey, viewing one crazy, surreal "infographic" after another, each one having its own unique and bizarre visual style. Like Interface (2022), this was deliberately and masterfully animated in the style of a 1980s computer game (except that this actually was made in that era). In fact, this was one of the very first films to be made entirely with digital animation; it was animated entirely with 8-bit MSX computers. As with Interface, the pixel animation is a brilliant choice that enhances the film's atmosphere immeasurably. Unusually for an anime, this film was made in English and released with Japanese subtitles (although I wish there had been English subtitles, because the dialogue is often impossible to understand). The film remained highly obscure until 2015, when journalist Matt Hawkins uploaded a LaserDisc copy of it to YouTube after finding it in a Japanese thrift shop, and it has since become a minor cult classic. Its aesthetic was pure vaporwave decades before vaporwave even existed.

If you're looking for some Japanese animation that's as far removed from tranime gooner slop as it gets, then you can look no further than this fascinating curio.

I got reccomended the mouthwashed video, expecting it was gonna be some rape victim seething about porn of the woman who got raped in that game as an opportunity to let the whole world know what it felt like to be raped, but it was just some 4cuck saying nigger and mkultra flashing cropped pippa pipkin porn on the screen every 5 seconds.

In his TCOOAL video, he was (go figure) really pissed about nemlei getting doxed, and would only refer to us as "puritans" (true albeit but fuck TCOOAL trannies)

I remember going to see the first one when it came out, when I was little (it came out in 2003, so I would have been 8 years old). I don't really remember much of anything about it other than that it was the first PG-13-rated film to be released under the Disney moniker. It's not a trilogy anymore, though - there have been several more films in the series.

the fifth one sucks and apparently the fourth one is mid, so it's a trilogy like how indiana jones is a trilogy. Plus I really relate to Davy Jones for some reason.
 
I recently watched The Last Night at Tremore Beach (2024). This intense, compelling 8-episode Spanish psychological thriller miniseries will surely be a staple on lists of the darkest and most disturbing television series ever made. The show follows a talented musician who begins having terrifying visions after being struck by lightning, along with his relationship with his girlfriend who has a deeply traumatic past. Acclaimed filmmaker Oriol Paulo keeps audiences hooked from the very beginning with non-stop twists and turns that become increasingly wild, dark, and unexpected as the series progresses, and the miniseries is also a perfect example of how a show can repeatedly depict incredibly graphic and harrowing violence and sexual violence without ever feeling the slightest bit like lurid exploitation. Only a director as skilled as Paulo could film a brutally violent 20+-minute gang rape scene (in episode 4) without the scene feeling like exploitation in the least. The performances are all top-notch as well, especially that of Ana Polvorosa as profoundly traumatized rape victim Judy Garmendia, who makes the audience feel every bit of her pain and trauma on a deeply chilling level. Watch this along with Baby Reindeer (2024) - which also deals heavily with the trauma of rape (in that case, from a male perspective) - for two of the darkest, most impressive miniseries on Netflix.

The classic one or the new one? I've only seen some episodes of the original black-and-white '60s Doctor Who, which I watched years ago when I was a teenager, but it was quite good.

The new one.
I think i made it through the first 3 seasons of the original, but i lost interest.
I'll probably give it another shot once i get to the pozzed episodes of the newer one
 
Canadian animator Umami (Justin Tomchuk)'s film Interface (2022) is easily the best film that I've seen since I got out of prison.



Originally released as a series of web episodes before the episodes were merged and rereleased as a feature film, the film - animated in the style of a 1980s computer game (a brilliant choice that enhances the film's atmosphere immeasurably) - follows a silent man and a shape-shifting clown creature's search for meaning in a strange digital afterlife created by the 1943 Philadelphia experiment. It is wildly imaginative, profound, poignant, funny, thought-provoking, visually dazzling, and an all-around stunning work of art.

Here's an analysis of it (there are many more, of course): https://archive.is/MknhQ
