Meyer Monday is upon us! This time, I’m taking a day trip to Hoople’s Haven to investigate COMMON LAW CABIN (1967), the film that dares ask the question “how much loving does a normal couple need?!?” Check out my findings in the link below! #russmeyer

It’s time to take a look at Robert Altman’s brilliant VINCENT & THEO (1990), a gorgeous and incredible work that examines obsession, madness, co-dependency, and love with two powerful performances by Roth and Rhys. Words in the link below! #robertaltman

“Superwomen! Belted, Buckled, and Booted!” screamed the ads. And they were right! Dropped some words on Varla and co from 1965’s FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL!, Russ Meyer’s first true masterpiece and the end to his gothic period in the link 👇🏼#russmeyer

On this day in 1973, five youths went on a day trip. Though one survived, none of them really ever came back. Read about all of the mad and the macabre on display in Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974) in the link below! #tobehooper

In 1988, Robert Altman and Doonesbury creator Gary Trudeau crafted a fictional presidential candidate and ran him in the democratic presidential primary. The result was TANNER ‘88, Altman’s greatest achievement of the 1980’s. Check it out! #robertaltman

Come on out to @TheParamountOKC on 8/26 at 7:00 where I’ll be screening John Carpenter’s debut film, DARK STAR for the amazing low price of $0. More fun than we’re legally to give away without charging, but we at the @oklafilmsociety really like to push that envelope!

Filing another essay as I begin to go through the films of Tobe Hooper. Today, I’m looking at EGGSHELLS (1969), a wonderful and trippy ode to Austin and the ever-shifting sands of time, both cultural and personal. Check out all the words! #tobehooper

Welcome to Meyer Monday where, as promised, I’m going deep into his Depression-era drama, MUDHONEY (1965); an absolute stunner of sin, small-town hypocrisy, and religious corruption! Check out all the words! #russmeyer #mudhoney

Happy Friday, everyone! This morning I’m dipping into David Robert Mitchell’s ferociously smart IT FOLLOWS (2014), one of the greatest horror films of its generation. Go check out all the words in the link below! #davidrobertmitchell #itfollows

Patrick is right. There are other good segments, Roddam, Sturridge, Tempest, etc but Ken’s Woman-as-Saturn in the resurrection chamber between lives is mind-blowingly exquisite.
Ken Russell’s segment is the goddamned BEST and makes this admirably ambitious yet wildly uneven omnibus from 1987 worth the trouble. Jean-Luc Godard utterly beclowns himself into hot-take heaven, per usual. Altman couldn’t find his ass with two hands and a map in 87. #kenrussell

Continuing my journey down the Robert Altman highway and broke down on the side of the road with 1987’s BEYOND THERAPY, one of his absolute worst efforts of his storied career! Skip the movie but check out all the words in the link below! #robertaltman

I’m back to talk about another Russ Meyer joint and this time, it’s LORNA, an early effort in his gothic cycle that shows off Meyer’s incredible technical skill while introducing the world to his very unique brand of female lead Check out ALL the words!
