"red rooms is a modern classic"

I second this. Great movie.

Has anyone seen MadS (2024) by David Moreau, who also directed Them in 2006. For those familiar or unfamiliar with the "new" French Extremity movies - the likes of Martyrs, High Tension, Inside and others as well - it might be really interesting. Also, the one-take continous plan is also amazing. Extremely recommended.

Anyone use Letterboxd? I'm sure it's been brought up before, but could always do with an updated conversation if so. My username is BrainMower.

Just watched A Strange Harvest. Great short documentary about cattle mutilation throughout (mostly) the United States.

I'm TLASILA on there.  Followed you!

Okay this looks pretty good, like a Goodreads for movies I guess. Made an account, mostly just to get film recommendations.

BUT

How TF do you search for a particular member? I was going to follow you two but, to my horror, I was unable to do so after two minutes of flailing around the site in frustration.

Just use the search bar normally, but then filter the results by clicking "Members or HQs" under "Show results for", on the right-hand side, if you're on a computer browser.

On a phone it's a scrollbar at the top of the results, scroll right until you see "Members or HQs".  The results default on Films otherwise.

Of course. How didn't I see that immediately? Well anyway, thank you!

I'm not one for most social-media related things but Letterboxd is certainly good for movie recommendations. I enjoy it, and find that even reading a very short review from someone who's opinion I trust has turned me on to a lot of great stuff I normally would have skipped over.

Yes I do. Username is same as here, except without an underscore for some reason. I'll try to keep my public diary up to date. I used to write down reviews for myself in a notebook, but this is much easier. And maybe someone else gets something out of them.

I don't read much other reviews though. Most of the "Popular Reviews" are fucking annoying.

Killer Condom
Based on Ralph König's graphic novels but not as good. Crazy plot about condoms that bite off dicks and a gay cop chasing them. I wish it was sleazier and had more deadpan instead of blatant comedy. Industrial culture connection: brief cameo by Alexander Hacke of Einstürzende Neubauten.

Bloodsucking Freaks
Well, this one didn't lack in the sleaze department. Torture porn from decades before it became a thing. Ridiculous story a bit in the vein of Herschell Gordon Lewis' Wizard Of Gore but with less talent and worse effects, yet a lot sleazier. Torture, degradation, mutilation and murder, all in extremely bad taste and the makers clearly know exactly what they're doing. Did I say already it's sleazy.
