Lucky indeed. Got some beer out of it.

That was one hard-core motion picture, Rock.

I've watched that a bunch.

It's what actually got me to appreciate the album much more than I used to

That one’s pretty good, but I think I prefer his Manson movie.

I liked a lot of Manson Family. There was some dopey shit that surrounded the stuff that really worked. But that still felt more like just a curiosity.

Deadbeat was like a revelation to me. The first two thirds was this inspired bit of low life scuzz, and the last half hour might be the most joyous amount of visceral action and carnage I've witnessed since the Raid 2. Clearly not as technically mindblowing, but it had the same impact where I was literally clapping and standing up and slapping my hands to my face I got so energized by it all.

Its already on the pantheon of greatest no budget movies I've ever seen. This was Miami Connection or Things levels of love.

It filled me with joy. Even if it was also super scummy a lot of the time.

I think The Manson Family worked for me the same way Terrifier 2 worked for you. Where the act of violence is so horrible and depicted so unflinchingly that it becomes impossible to enjoy like a normal horror movie. I think the pseudo-Natural Born Killers thing he's trying to do around it is pretty clumsy, but I appreciate his willingness to insert something of a moral viewpoint into what could have very well been a pure geek show.

And speaking of Things, apparently it's gonna play at the Fox Theatre in the Beaches neighbourhood next month. I'd normally be wary of seeing a "so bad it's good" movie in the a theatre (I've heard that The Room is basically unwatchable in that setting these days thanks to overeager crowds), but the audience at the Fox from my experience is pretty respectful, and apparently the screening of Glen or Glenda last month that was part of this screening series went over pretty well.

Orson Welles' 1958 half-hour documentary, Portrait of Gina, about Gina Lollobrigida, received its first official release at Venice now that Lollobrigida's cease-and-desist is null-and-void. It did appear on German TV once however....

I don't know if this was done as an extra to the recent Criterion release, but I hadn't seen it. Scorsese talks to Fran Lebowitz about After Hours and New York in the 80s.
