Old movies you've only seen recently...
I just watched a 1967 Japanese "pinku" film on mubi, a sort of erotic thriller exploitation called "Inflatable Sex Doll of the Wastelands". Was extremely "tame" for an exploitica film - the nudity seemed to be the excuse to make a gangster/assassin film. But it had some really cool formal experimentation done on what must've been an absolute shoestring, though it didn't often look it, and it got interestingly hallucinatory.
It was shot on those freaky barrel distortion old school wide angle lenses where the far left and right edges of the image compress, so when the camera pans, walls stretch and compress. That was cool as hell and I wish people would deliberately use old lenses for that more. It's a great effect. -
Hello to the Strut
Hell yeah, I preach the gospel of forums when I can, it's really not been replaced by social media. It's kind of a relic of the internet when people thought it'd be this independent, anarchic utopian thing instead of consolidating into 5 Websites For All Your Needs, and the interaction is different in this format (and better if you ask me) -

DOUBLE K REST IN POWER
Thes' mix tribute on twitch last night, playing the records that made up PUTS' music, was pretty touching. Had a who's-who of strutters past, DJs and musicians paying tribute in the chat too. He was giving Mike a real public send-off, saying he'd probably never listen to those records again because of what they represent. 1200+ people getting emotional with Thes was pretty amazing. He didn't have to do something public for fans to grieve to but he did. I think that's really cool. -
Hey 19, That's 'Reetha Franklin (sort of)
Amadeus was one of my mom's favorite movies of all time - she'd quote the "too many notes" line as a phrase to mean not liking something that you couldn't find anything logical to criticize about it. That is an all timer.
Has anybody seen the Chadwick Boseman James Brown biopic? Or the insane sounding Don Cheadle Miles Davis movie?
