My edit of Nary from the latest Unsounded page, by @unsoundedcomic. He reminded me of the Boosh's Hitcher. Unsounded's really good, you'd like it

Almost blacked out from how fast I leaped out of bed to go to my computer because I saw they had a pre sale on a collectors edition remastered blu ray of The Crow (1994). One day this same thing will happen AGAIN when they finally release the fucking remaster of The Hitcher (1986) that they are working on.

I was tagged by @exorcistas to answer these questions and then I’m supposed to tag 9 people I wanna get to know better aaaahhhh

last song I listened to: 💿 Lily by Kate Bush, fun fact: due to how weird and cool this song is and due to my weird relationship to angels, this song did in fact have me making posts when I first heard it that made people send me “hey man, are you doing ok?” messages lol

three ships: 🤍 uuuhhhh Father Mulcahy/Hawkeye from M*A*S*H (and highkey most of the M*A*S*H characters/Hawkeye, what can I say, he’s the army’s biggest slut), Joel/Griffin (or Jerome as Jay calls him) from The Watcher cuz I love that terrible stupid movie, and I’m only halfway thru season one so you can call me a fake fan if you want but Quark/Odo from Deep Space 9 cuz I love a pair of weird dudes who have things wrong with them :)

currently reading: 📖 I’m currently reading third issue of the Hellebore zine, The Malefice Issue, its a cool zine about folk horror and the the occult in British history and media. the issues have a lot of interesting essays and really cool artwork. I also have other books that I started a while ago but haven’t finished yet cuz I’m such a slow reader like Unweildy Creatures, which is a genderqueer retelling of Frankenstein that was recommended to me by my mom, and Nun Massacre which is just a splatterpunk book

last movie I watched: 🎬 the last movie I watched that was new to me was Blood Harvest, which is a kind of generic 80′s slasher that is really only notable because Tiny Tim plays a singing clown in it. the most recent movie I watched in general was The Hitcher cuz I’m gonna make a lil homoerotic horror video edit thing hehehe

craving: 🧃 crab rangoon my eternal beloved

I never know who to tag in these things uhhh @filmstar1997 @ohwhoadude @leoblooms @tacogrande @beforewhatgod @heycrabman @m3atbuff3t and idk if you wanna do it you can say I tagged you  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@squidsploitation @titleleaf I just finished watching The Hitcher and I’m [insert specific stick figure violence reaction image I can’t find rn EDIT: FOUND LOL]

It was soo good. I had to suspend my disbelief for how Ryder was managing to do like … everything he was doing lol, but it’s fine, unimportant.

Rutger Hauer was so freaking good in it. Just the way he was staring at Jim in his very first scene was sooo good and creepy, the immediate psychosexual obsession …..

And the end was perfect, the way Jim’s voice changed slightly when he had the gun on the police Captain asking him to pull over, so confident and unafraid for the first time in like the entire movie, like after everything it was in that moment that he was finally permanently changed. Like something something corrupting forces, the protagonist getting changed for the worse, “What do you want?” “I want you to stop me.” aaauuuuugggh

Bumpferkleef (Tailgating)

There’s a certain illusion of privacy to driving. We’re confined in our little rolling boxes as we try to get where we’re going as quickly as possible despite the interference of all those other boxes. It’s easy to dehumanize the other drivers, whom we’re not likely to see outside their vehicles. So, when the insulated world within our cars is invaded, it can be particularly terrifying. That worked well for Steven Spielberg with DUEL (1971) and to an extent for Robert Harmon with THE HITCHER (1988) and John Dahl with JOY RIDE (2001), and Dutch writer-director Lodewijk Crijns gets a lot of milage (forgive the pun) out of it in his BUMPFERKLEEF (2019, Shudder as TAILGATING). Things are already toxic as Hans (Jeroen Spitzenberger) drives his wife (Anniek Pheifer) and two daughters to his mother’s house for the weekend. The children squabble, the parents squabble, and Hans is already teaching his daughters to hate themselves for being women. Then he gets stuck behind a white van traveling the speed limit in the left-hand lane and goes ballistic. Since the driver (Willem de Wolf) is a psycho who already took out a cyclist with a mouthful of caustic insecticide, that’s probably not the best move. De Wolf proceeds to torment the family, first demanding an apology and then going after them. Crijns builds tension really well, and the film is beautifully edited. There’s also a very effective makeup job creating the welts raised by exposure to the insecticide. That may be too sadistic for some, particularly with two young children caught between their parents and the killer. But it’s also wicked fun as the situation gradually strips Hans of all bravado and reduces him to a near infantile state as the toxic male comes face to face with genuine toxicity. Spitzenberger manages to be both obnoxious and sympathetic, and de Wolf, who looks like just another nondescript middle-aged man, knows just how far to go to make his character threatening without being ridiculous.
