Here are some of my recent pickups from the Dollar Tree, Walmart, Amazon and Ocean State Job Lot. I did get quite a few things for the Halloween season 🕷️🕸️🎃👻💰💸🛍️📦🎮

Catch the Killer (Damián Szifron, 2023) zählt zu den besten Thrillern, die ich dieses Jahr gesehen habe. Der ziemlich alberne Titel* hat mich anfangs zwar etwas abgeschreckt, aber als ich gesehen habe, dass der Regisseur der überdrehten Komödie “Wild Tales” (2014) dahinter steckt, war ich äußerst neugierig. Neun Jahre hat sich Damián Szifron Zeit gelassen, einen neuen Film zu drehen und hat dabei nicht nur das Genre, sondern auch das Land gewechselt. Der Film spielt in Boston und beginnt mit dem Amoklauf eines Scharfschützen, während die ganze Stadt Silvester feiert. Die aus dem Nichts kommenden, vom Feuerwerk übertönten Schüsse setzen gleich am Anfang eine bedrückende Stimmung, die auch bis zum düsteren Ende aufrechterhalten wird. Die anschließende Suche nach dem Killer wird angereichert mit tiefen Einblicken in die Machtspiele innerhalb von Polizei und Politik. Besonders beeindruckend aber wird die Ermittlungsarbeit inszeniert: in einer atemlosen Szene sitzt das Team an Laptops um einen Tisch, ständig klingeln die Smartphones und innerhalb von wenigen Minuten ist der Verdächtige identifiziert und sein Standort ermittelt. Wie realistisch diese rasend schnelle Lösung ist, sei dahingestellt - es ist aber eine der besten Verquickungen moderner Informationstechnologie und Polizeiarbeit, die ich seit “CSI” gesehen habe. Positiv überrascht war ich auch von Shailene Woodley, die hier ganz und gar nicht wie ein Teenie-Star wirkt, sondern einen facettenreiche, durchaus tragische Figur spielt. Zum Glück müssen wir auf Szifrons nächsten Film nicht wieder neun Jahre warten.

*Ursprünglich sollte der Film "Misanthrope" heißen, und was wäre das für ein starker Titel gewesen? Pures Ultrakunst-Kino und nicht letzte Reihe Streamingdienst... Naja.

☠NOPE☠ So, one of the last movies I watched in 2022 was #jordanpeele #nopemovie and I really enjoyed this movie! It was a genuinely scary movie and I loved how they twisted the alien invasion story. I sure hope that Jordan Peele makes more movies soon! ☠ ☠ QOTD: How do you feel about Nope? ☠ ☠ #moviestagram #movieaddict #movies #moviecollection #moviecommunity #moviebuff #cinephile #moviegeek #dvdstagram #dvds #dvdaddict #dvdcollection #dvdcommunity #blurayaddict #bluray #bluraycollection #bluraycommunity #filmcollector #filmbuff #moviejunkie #movielover #filmlover https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5n-1bMLIw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Godfather Collection (Limited Edition 4k set)

[ungoliant88]

Considering how the physical media is dying especially here in Finland, it's remarkable how many times I'm still rebuying films that I already own. Excalibur Media International has been releasing many titles which did not yet have blu-ray releases in nordic countries and I of course bought them. Well... Now they're releasing them all over again but this time with goodies. Clever. "Master Movie Classics Limited Edition" series includes a poster and some postcards from the film and as a collector I naturally have to have them. So here we are, once again buying the same films all over again. At the same time @nordiskfilmfinland does not release physical copies of their Finnish titles in Finland anymore and @leffat releases many of their titles without any special features nowdays in nordic countries. #bluray #bluraycollector #blurayupdate #bluraycollection #moviecollector #moviecollector #dracula #thewarlord #limitededition #collection #collector #movie #film #cinema #cinephile #filmbuff #universalpictures #elokuva #leffa #filmcollection #filmcollector #movies #films #blurayaddict #blurayjunkie #poster #juliste #postcard #postikortti https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl8mIDatKmC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My classics on VHS.... ....that have stood the test of time especially Bringing Up Baby from 1938. “Cary Grant , who had become Hollywood’s number one comedy star was an obvious choice for a nutty professor. We were very good together,”Kate observed, ‘because it looked as though we were having a great deal of fun together, which we were.” Quote: Katherine Hepburn A Personal Biography by A.

Here’s some of the things I ordered from the Disney Movie Club this morning. I got a Mystery Holiday Gift Box, The Emperor’s New Groove 2 Movie Collection, Encanto, Wish, a Wish Lithograph, a Cars 3 pin, a Buzz Lightyear Night Light, a Princess and the Frog Lapel Pin, a Lithograph Book, and Disney’s Holes. I was actually quite surprised to see all the exclusive blu rays that are out of stock. Like dang, they sold out fast. Guess I’ll have to rely on EBay to get the movies I missed out on even if the prices are super high. I spent over $90 just from all this stuff 🙄🤑📀 Oof 😮‍💨 Oh well. At least I’m getting some good stuff and a few things were free which was nice 😁

In vielen Filmen spielen Medien eine große Rolle. Oft sind es audiovisuelle, aber auch Printmedien kommen nicht zu kurz. Hier ein schönes Beispiel aus dem großartigen Horror-Western The Wind (Emma Tammi, 2018) das die Frage aufwirft, ob hier vor den Dämonen gewarnt wird, oder ob sie durch die Lektüre erst heraufbeschworen werden.

⭕BLUE AND WHITE MOVIE STACK ⭕ Hey everyone! Well, since 2023 is officially here, I decided to do a blue and white movie stack to celebrate the new year! I always associate the colors blue and white with January and I thought that those were the perfect colors to celebrate the new year with (also, blue is my favorite color)! ⭕ ⭕ 🎥🎥QOTD: Do you own a lot of DVDS and Blurays that are in blue and white colors? ⭕ ⭕ H A S H T A G S #moviestagram #movieaddict #movies #moviecollection #moviecommunity #moviebuff #cinephile #moviegeek #dvdstagram #dvds #dvdaddict #dvdcollection #dvdcommunity #filmcollector #filmbuff #moviejunkie #movielover #filmlover #physicalmedia https://www.instagram.com/p/CnrKZ7ZOj3J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Search Me

What does my search history say about me?

Certain aspects of my life require me to Google some pretty unsavory stuff: in a teaching capacity, I have found myself searching for far right extremist groups, trans hate groups, most sexualised video games, racist adverts, peadophile front pages, legal highs, TikTok Rape Day, Only Fans scams, 5G conspiracy theories and perhaps most controversially of all, international day of balloon sculpture.

Recently I worked with a graphic designer on fivrr to create book jackets for my novels. This involved sending him Google images of various elements to work from. Hands down the weirdest thing I have probably ever searched for is, ‘guy impaled on long spike’ (the deuteragonist of my coming of age novella meets his end harpooned by a narwhal statue’s tusk). Believe it or not, Google actually delivered a pretty accurate depiction of how I envisaged this picture. When I asked for a simple ‘school kid tie round head’, well, apparently this is like the most obscure idea ever. What I got was lots and lots of school children wearing ties. In the intended way: neatly around their necks. I tried ‘school tie head band’ and got every single colour and stripe of headband under the sun: silk ones, lace ones, gingham ones by the dozen, bow-on-top ones, polka dotted ones, tartan ones, velvet ones, Pudsey Bear ones, ones with face masks attached (because, let’s face it, post Covid, you can’t search anything without a face mask getting a cameo appearance). Maybe that had something to do with the fact that in my head, school ties actually need to be tied, when in reality, the modern variant clips on – and therefore cannot be worn around the head to signify a Lord Of The Flies style revolt.

So, I suppose if I disappeared or died in suspicious circumstances tomorrow and my laptop got siezed by detectives (pause while I savour this post-mortem-imaginary attention) they would find these searches pretty eccentric and maybe conclude that I had some ‘issues’ that needed working out.

But it’s thinking about the searches I undertake when actually writing my fiction content that really makes me uneasy. And I know it’s just for the book! Recently I watched a John Irving documentary on YouTube, in which he spoke about visiting prostitutes in Amsterdam as part of the research stage of his novel, ‘A Widow For One Year’ (which, by the way you should totally read). He took his wife along, so you know, it couldn’t have been more respectable. I can only dream of one day having the luxury to conduct actual field trips in the name of fiction (pause while I ponder writing these off as expenses on my tax returns). For us writers struggling in the garret of our two bed end terrace, it’s Google journalism, not Gonzo journalism that informs our prose.

So, today I had taken the dog and my laptop to my parents’ house for the day because I’m having work done on the house; downstairs is basically a building site and the bedroom is packed with boxes of books and DVD’s, so it’s like I’ve barricaded myself into the 1980’s. And yes, I know that retrospectively we all heart the 80’s: in meme form, or an ironic leg warmer, maybe we’ll crimp our hair for that reunion thing. But when you are physically surrounded by obsolete artifacts that are materially all you have to show for three decades work - NOT so bodacious. Totally not bodacious at all. I had to get out of there; to get off the anxiety cycle that goes something like this: I’ll just bin all the DVD’s – but, no, wait, they’ll end up in landfill; I’ll take them to a charity shop – but that’s a lot of cycle rides (how many rucksacks does it take to move an entire film collection?); I’ll flog them online – but that would mean typing in every title (and then deliberating over it); do I know anyone who car boots? Does anyone still car boot? How much would anyone pay for a DVD? And then I look at the sheer amount of them and the space they take up and I contemplate the last time I even watched one, and the likelihood of me ever watching one again. I weigh all this up against the comforting familiarity of them sitting on the shelf. And what else would I fill the shelves with? Is it any less indulgent to hoard hundreds of film titles, just to look at, just to reflect my values, my identity and my cultural capital, than it would be to display a collection of ceramic frogs or superhero figures or framed photos?

Anyway, I digressed. And then I digressed some more. Back to searching. So today, while other members of my family were passing a regular Sunday afternoon eating lunch, drinking wine, watching sport on TV, napping in front of sport on TV, complaining about the weather, I was tackling a ‘difficult chapter’. I knew this episode had to feature somewhere in the tale I have to tell. I’ve known for some time. And today, I could put it off no longer. It was time to get on the adults only train to porno-ville. Full disclosure: yes I have; once; it confirmed to me that I am indeed asexual. No, I’m not answering that.

Today was the first time I had ‘done it in public’. Lots of writers do, don’t they? The Potter series was famously penned in Edinburgh coffee shops (or is that just part of the myth?) Imagine E.L. James knocking out a sex scene in a Tesco café; mind you, erotic fiction writers surely must be the doggers of the trade. These public spaces still offer anonymity though; I was sitting feet away from my Mum and Dad and constructing a narrative thread based on the porn habits of a church congregation. And my parents are born again Christians! Every time Dad approached the dining table where I’d set up my work space, I quickly shut down the last page I visited: ‘first online porn sites’, ‘pervert synonyms’, ‘stages of sex addiction’, ‘proper name for crabs’, chlamydia (that was just for the spelling).

The protagonist of my soon-to-be-published Kindle book, ‘Post Midnight Blues’, writes a ‘poem’ entitled: ‘An Ode To Porn In The Hedgerow’, recalling more innocent days, when a lorry driver might pull over on the hard shoulder for a quick wank and toss his used copy of Razzle into the bushes for teenage lads to find and take back to their hide-outs. I can’t help thinking a writing must have been simpler then too.

JUNE 2020 BLU-RAY AND DVD HAUL!!! What a month June was for collecting movies. Got some stuff from @vinegarsyndrome, @severinfilms, @shoutfactory, @fullmoonfeatures, and @garagehouse_pictures. I also found out that one of my favorite shows from the #90s, Martial Law, was released on dvd. Overall, a great month in otherwise troubling times. #bluray #bluraycollector #bluraycollection #dvd #dvdcollection #dvdcollector #film #filmfan #filmgeek #filmcollector #movie #moviefan #moviegeek #moviecollection #movienerd #cinephile #horror #horrorgeek #horrorgram #tv #batman #terminator #creepshow #hercules #rogerebert https://www.instagram.com/p/CCq2eTWnlNN/?igshid=1o1l8qohot2a
