Mostly a bunch of watch parties (synchronized viewing among people across the internet, with viewers posting comments live on Mastodon or in-built chat window). A mini “Kurt Russell season” this week.
Big Money Hustlas (2000) (seen in Disks n’ Flicks) - Amateurish, obscene parody of 70s inner city crime movies starring hiphop duo the Insane Clown Posse. Loved it!
Escape From New York (1981) (seen in #MondayActionMovie) - Carpenter and Russell’s first outing, dystopian future where Manhattan is a prison and antihero Snake Plissken has to rescue the President. A great time was had by all.
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) - final outing in the action franchise. The first battle seemed unnecessary but I warmed up to the rest of the film.
Robot Wars (1993) (seen in VCR Party) - Crappy straight-to-video scifi with stop motion giant robots.
Used Cars (1980) (seen in #SundayFunnies) - Underrated comedy from the team who later made Back to the Future, with Kurt Russell as an ambitious, unscrupulous used car salesman trying to rustle up the cash to buy his way into politics.
Escape is a super fun movie, it walks the 80s doomerism attitude and gritty action hero line very well
The whole “man above the high table” thing from John Wick 3/4 is really weird, seems to actively detract from the plot, and has almost immediately, zero impact on the plot. I really don’t understand how that was supposed to fit in with the rest of the series
I remember an article saying John Wick was in the fantasy tradition of parallel worlds (not multiverse, but another world alongside and only partly visible to the normal world).

Big Trouble in Little China (1986) (seen in #KungFuSat - John Carpenter’s classic China-themed action-comedy-fantasy. An absolute blast, as always.
Escape From New York (1981) (seen in #MondayActionMovie) - Carpenter and Russell’s first outing, dystopian future where Manhattan is a prison and antihero Snake Plissken has to rescue the President. A great time was had by all.

The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) & Little Shop of Horrors (1986). I watched the original in #Comedon, light fun with abrupt ending, and then after Big Money Hustlas, watched almost all of the 1986 musical as part of the #Monsterdon “after party” on Miru.Miyaku.Media, with the director’s cut ending (kaiju-style!)
