RIP Peter Cullen

 

I had something completely different set for today, but for obvious reasons, this won out. Damn. What a fucking week. The really eerie thing was, I received the news of Cullen's death about an hour after I finally bought tickets for the 40th anniversary screening of Transformers: The Movie on September 17th. Something tells me that screening is going to take on a whole new meaning after this news.

I FINALLY got to see Jane Schoenbrun's new film, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma! This was a long, hard road folks.

After waiting weeks to see if any theaters around me would get this, my Clarksville Regal picked it up last Thursday. I grabbed a ticket and sat my ass in the seat at 9:20 PM, only to have a sudden, horrible realization as the trailers played and I found I could not understand nor barely hear the dialogue.

Do you remember me talking about the crappy sound on that 20th Anniversary remaster release of Neil Marshall's The Descent two weeks ago? Well, it wasn't the film. Both of that and my first attempt a seeing Miasma were on screen 10 at my Regal. When I walked out to talk to an employee about this, I was told this was a "known issue."

A known issue, and they kept using that theatre for screenings? Total bullshit. 

I ended up walking out without seeing the film. I filed a complaint with Regal, and perhaps because of that, Tuesday night I noticed they had moved the film to a different screen for one time slot on one night - 10:45 PM last night. So, despite the fact that I've been asleep by 11:00 a couple times already this week, I trudged out at 10:35 PM last night, drove ten minutes to my theatre and put my arse in yet another seat.

Speechless. I would not have guessed in a million years that the fact that the fictitious slasher's name "Little Death" is actually a reference to one of the underlying concepts of the Illuminates of Thanateros; "Little Death" or "La Petite Mort" as a euphemism for the orgasm, which is kind of the hub of the entire film.

I'd have to say I still like I Saw the TV Glow the best of Schoenbrun's work, but goddamn are they on a roll. I am onboard for anything they do. Which includes their first novel, which I pre-ordered earlier today.

After just discussing it on Drinking with Comics this week, I received my copy of Humanoids Press' English language translation for the classic Metal Hurlant. 

This is volume 5 - I only just became aware of this. 

I have been wanting to read this magazine for years! There was a time when I would just google the covers and artwork and state at it. So many of the Sci Fi flicks I grew up with were inspired by this - chief among them Blade Runner and Alien - so I think it's great Humanoids is translating and re-releasing these. 

Hurlant was a magazine back in the 70s/80s, but here they're collecting them in pretty nice soft or hardcover editions that must compile stories from multiple issues, though I'm not sure yet what the grouping strategy is. Apparently there are new stories mixed in as well, but for someone reading these the first time through, I can't tell what's what (or at least not yet).

• Eight of Pentacles

• Nine of Swords

• King of Pentacles

• Two of Swords

I had it in my head to try a new layout. Not sure if there is a pre-existing name for this one or not, it just presented itself to me. Let's dig into it!

The work I'm putting into 'work' has gotten a bit uneven. It follows me into my weekends and off hours, and I need to back the fuck up or I'm going to end up stuck in a creative stalemate. The Two of Swords as the final card indicates resolution is on its way, but the King of Pentacles suggests it may take a while...

RIP Dolly

Wow. Dolly Parton. I can't claim to be the biggest fan of Dolly's music, not because I don't like it; I'm just not familiar, but as a human being? Among the greatest of our era. RIP.

NCBD:

Lots of stuff I am looking forward to this week, including some new titles. 

We begin with a new Stuff of Nightmares one-shot! I have loved every issue published under the Stuff of Nightmares banner, and I expect nothing different from this.

A new Rick Remender book! I've picked up a few first issues from some of his other recent series and nothing really moved me - still quality work, just not my thing. Hammerfist looks like it might change that. Gorgeous Steve Epting art to boot. Very excited for this one!

The final issue of Fall of the House of Slaughter should pave the way for whatever shake-up is about to happen in SIKTC issue 50, out October 7th.

This book looks and sounds very old-school Vertigo. That's calculated, of course, but I'm here to give it a shot. Here's the solicitation blurb from League of Comic Book Geeks:

"OCCULT WARFARE IS A FANTASY... OR IS THAT WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO THINK? Twenty-three-year-old Darren Burroughs out of Audubon, PA, is a gifted rookie sent under the guise of a diplomatic aide to train with Division Nine — an obscure, outdated, and easily dismissed arm of British intelligence that specializes in dealing with paranormal incidents. In the right sort of spy circles, they're known by a different, more feared name... Black Tower. 

It's 2026, and in the age of cyber warfare and drone strikes, someone is plotting to steal the head of a giant-king to break a centuries-old ward that has kept invading forces out of Britain. Magic and espionage collide as the Black Tower's band of misfits, led by the enigmatic Alistair Romeo, delves into a maelstrom of spells and silencers, working against time and in the shadows to fight the esoteric battles bubbling under the surface of our visible wars."

Finally, ROM arrives in the Energon Universe in a proper way this month with these two books:

With ROM and now Micornauts, you have to ask yourself what's next.

Watch:

I first caught wind of Emily Bennett & Justin Brooks' Blood Shine last month when the most recent issue of Fangoria landed at my door. There's a great article about the film that immediately put it on my radar. Now we get our first trailer:

Dark Sky Films has become a force for good in the Horror genre, and when you add in Larry Fessenden as the cult leader, oh boy! I cannot wait. This is currently a $6.99 rental on Prime, so odds are we'll be watching this one over the weekend.

• Ace of Swords

• Six of Cups

• Eight of Swords

Revitalized by recent developments, I definitely have a clearer perspective on things. Still haven't passed the stone - or at least I'm pretty sure of that - but I feel better these last few days, and I think a lot of that comes from, as the cards say, information. 

UPDATE: Thinking about the cards again. As is my custom, I left the spread on my desk all day so I could contemplate it off and on. That usually doesn't really amount to much - the day's tasks and responsibilities accumulate and I just kind of stop seeing the cards, let alone end up with any time to think or read about interpreting them further. Today, though, I'm thinking about the Ace of Swords, a card I habitually associate with "Breakthrough" when looking at the Thoth version. 

This card represents the bridge to the unconscious mind. It also has to do with perception, i.e. awakened perception. Seeing what was missed. In this case, the Eight of Swords suggests an inner problem. I'm having a hard time tying the Six of Cups in here, but I think it goes without saying there's something I'm struggling with that will soon crack wide open in a way that I will gain a new understanding. One that, hopefully, will alleviate the issue. This may very well still tie into my health, but now I'm thinking there's something more. 

John Carpenter - Cathedral

I'm not sure I ever posted about it here, but early in the year John Carpenter announced a new album and an accompanying graphic novel. Cathedral - the fifth record for Carpenter as a recording artist, accompanied by Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies - is the soundtrack to a graphic novel based on a dream the auteur says he had. I pre-ordered this from Sacred Bones and after receiving it a few weeks back, I have to say, this is probably the best Carpenter album not associated with a film.  Here's the obvious single from the record, which plays like one of those great Carpenter film themes. 

A few nights after receiving this, I sat down and read the novel while listening. It's pretty good. I haven't been very interested in some of the other comic work I've seen come out over the last decade or so from Carpenter, but I tuned out his films after the 80s as well (with Cigarette Burns being the one exception I can think of). Overall, though, I enjoyed this entire experience.

Watch:

Running on empty tonight, so I'm just going to post the original, 1981 trailer for my favorite Slasher flick: 

I just watched this again last night, and it never disappoints. I think one of the main thing that sets The Burning apart from other slashers of the era - other than Tom Savini's awesome FX - are how likable the camp characters are. For the most part at least.

Read:

Last week I put paid Stephen King's penultimate Dark Tower novel, The Song of Susannah and immediately cracked open the seventh and final novel in the series, The Dark Tower.

I'm approaching the resolution of this series - the second time I've taken the entire journey, and the first in one consecutive collection of readings - with some trepidation. I don't want it to end. And for the final book, this one hits the ground running; the opening scene with Jake and Callahan at the Dixie Pig really telegraphs that we're approaching the end, and shit is getting heavy. Very much looking forward to this re-read in particular, because even more than with Song of Susannah, I have only read this once, and not since its original publication, way back in 2003.

I will say, right off the bat, there is a lot of deus ex machina in these last two entries in the series. I know King took great pains to build that in when he wove himself and our world into the story, but Ka is starting to do a lot of really convenient things for our Ka-tet. And that's fine; not really a complaint, just an observation I would not have been astute to make upon my first reading of these last two books.

Gravest Gravy, Baby

Out today - The Cramps, Gravest Gravy - lost tracks recently found and rescued with help from Henry Rollins and Ian Mackaye!

The only track available to stream on YouTube is the opener - '77's version of TV Set (now my preferred version of that particular track. Holy smokes - those Ivy Rorschach guitar 'solos!'), which I previously posted HERE upon announcement of the record. Instead of repeating myself, I went ahead and posted the "Weekend on Mars" version that originally served as the B-side to 1983's "I Ain't Nuthin' But A Gorehound" 7". I think I dig the version on Gravest Gravy better, but with a track like this - with any Cramps track- the more versions, the better.

Grab Gravest Gravy directly from Vengeance Records webstore HERE or their Bandcamp HERE.

---

History:

Let's listen to Mr. Henry Rollins talk about how Gravest Gravy was rediscovered:

The rebirth of Vengeance Records is a beautiful thing. I can't wait to see what else comes down the pipes. In the meantime, HERE's the direct link to the site and their store, a great place to fill in gaps in the collection or finally acquire some of those records I only have as burned discs (thank you, Mr. Brown!) or old tapes.

Watch:

If you haven't seen this trailer for Writer/Director Scott B. Hansen Devour yet, it's a doozy. It probably shows too much, but after watching it, I don't know that too much can taint this flick, because it looks nuts! Unhinged, in the best possible way. 

I know I usually avoid trailers, especially ones with a runtime of three minutes, but this is an indie, and it's fighting for its audience. This trailer will most likely earn it one. Good. Can't wait to check this out on October 29th!

• Two of Cups

• I: The Magician

• Ace of Cups

Resolved trouble and recuperation. There's a note for Two of Cups in my grimoire that adds, "Find the high ground to gain perspective (especially when paired with Cups), and here's the Ace of Cups, which can indicate major transformation. This fits with the resolution/recuperation motif. The Magician suggests I will pull myself through the issues and arrive at this new high ground. I read this to be a reference to my health and my current writing project, which I made major strides on this past Wednesday (despite being exhausted as all hell after waking up at 3:40 AM).

New Music from Chelsea Wolfe!

 

Dig the track, not 100% sure how I feel about the music video. Usually, when the performer begins writhing suggestively on a bed, the end is nigh. Hopefully that's not the case here. New album The Dark is out Friday, 8/21. Pre-order HERE.

NCBD:

Short stack this week. The wallet says thank'ee!

New ongoing series from Sean Murphy! Here's the solicitation copy from League of Comic Book Geeks:

"As technology in America advanced, cities began creating the GRID — a robotic transportation system that not only made cars obsolete, it made them illegal. But an outlaw named “Clutch” has no choice but to get behind the wheel one more time. What starts out as a race to save his granddaughter's life quickly turns into a rebellion against technology, fascism, and the future of a divided America."

Every issue of If Destruction Be Our Lot moves it higher on my year-end list. 

Not in love with this cover, but the others aren't much better. Still, big issue as far as the story goes, so we'll see.

Watch:

I forgot to mention it here, but I finally got around to watching Mark Savage's 12 to Midnight. If you'll remember, this is the werewolf flick with Charles Bronson doppelgánger Robert Bronzi.

 

I'd waited for this after posting about it over two years ago. I waited for this to hit streaming for what felt like forever, then it toggled off my radar. I'm not sure when it hit Prime, but it's included there now, so run out and watch this one if you want to see a man that - goddamn, does he look like Charles Bronson! Call me crazy, but I actually really enjoyed this flick. Even more, I enjoyed recording an Irreverent Deep Dive on it for The Horror Vision recently. That drops at the end of the month, so I'll update here when that happens. In the meantime, give it a whirl.

• Two of Wands

• King of Pentacles

• Six of Pentacles

See, this is nuts. 

I couldn't write anything of an interpretation last night when I finished this entry around 10:40 PM and scheduled it to post at 2:30 AM. I was spent and resorted to one of those crappy fortune-cookie interpretations, which is banal and pointless and not what I'm about in terms of Tarot at all. Gotta stop that.

Anyway, I couldn't muster anything, so I posted the cards and left it. I do this from time to time, intending to come back later to really think about the cards and come up with something. Well, today I woke up at 3:43 AM and have been up since (currently 6:03 AM). That's what I get for having three days in a row of 8+ hours. So here I am, thinking about the cards as the small hours wane, and I come across the "Dawn; sunrise" interpretation for the Six of Pentacles (Disks), and I'm just blown away. Because I was just watching the sunrise before I found that entry. 

This has me cross-referencing with Crowley's The Book of Thoth, where, on page 215, his brief dalliance with the Six of Disks mentions the colors on the Thoth version of the card as "... a suggestion of Tiphareth fully realized on Earth."

Not sure, but I think that's an indication that my health troubles are winding down. Tiphareth is The Yellow House, a place of beauty, where the within and without or microcosm/macrocosm, balance in harmony. No small feat. Yet, guided by the Two of Wands, which is being in control of yourself and the King of Pentacles, which Crowley, in turn, cross-references with the I Ching hexagram Kien (53rd) as "... slow, steady emancipation from repressive conditions," makes me think I'm going to pass this fucking stone soon and then all the other shit will just disappear. 

One can hope. 

The Good, The Bad and the Acid

 

From the forthcoming album Shapes of Midnight, out September 18th on Killer Candy Records. I'd tell you to pre-order HERE, but all formats have been sold out since about three minutes after it went on sale last month. I grabbed mine day-of release from the bezos corp.

Watch:

Either the kidney stone returned (still haven't found a "doctor" that can tell me if it passed, or my fatty liver acted up and I was couch-bound for much of the weekend. So what do you do when you're in mildly agonizing discomfort? Watch the Sergio Leone Spaghetti Westerns, that's what!

I started Saturday with A Fistful of Dollars. I have this one on DVD, and it felt like coming home again, with the scratches on the film and an almost vinyl-like hiss on the soundtrack at times. I watched these with my Dad when I was a kid, and have revisited a few times over the years; they've always remained somewhat holy to me, but I don't often find the time to sit down and give myself over to the unique rhythms of Leone's classic trilogy. 

When I reached For A Few Dollars More, I watched part on DVD, then moved downstairs and had to resort to Prime, which currently includes all of these. I will say, as much as I love the nostalgia of those old DVDs, seeing the restored picture on these... wow. There's just no comparison.

This sequel is probably my favorite of the three. Lee Van Cleef's Col. Mortimer is a fantastic addition, and Leone embraces the first film's popularity and uses the resultant bigger budget wisely. Nothing showy, but you can see the money and the fact that Leone is becoming a better filmmaker.

Now, we get to the best film of the three. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is a damn masterpiece, and the only thing that gives For A Few Dollars More the upper hand in my heart is that, while it's awesome to watch Leon really up the ante on this third one (the bridge!), I feel like the late-in-the-game Union/Confederacy battle with hundreds of extras could have been cut. Again, I think it's Leone stretching his legs and settling into the role of a Hollywood filmmaker. Eli Wallach's Tuco, however, really helps keep the third movie in the series neck and neck for my favorite. 

Either way, while I'm not happy about being in discomfort and getting next to nothing done all weekend, rewatching these felt like a great reset and recharge. Nothing like reconnecting with something from your deep past.

Read:

Yesterday I reread Peter Milligan and Kieron Dwyer and Dennis Janke's three-part Dark Knight Dark City that ran through Batman 452-454 in August and September of 1990.

During that initial publication period, I was buying Batman, Detective Comics and the newly launched Legends of the Dark Knight more than ever before. Some of this was still riding the wave of buzz Tim Burton's Batman had generated a year and some odd months prior, and some of it was a succession of storylines within these titles that caught my eye. Even at 14, I had a fairly robust interest in the Occult (still tempered by the dying clinging of religion at that point), so this was a no-brainer. Couple that with the buzz that this series would feature a decidedly more "Adult" version of a pretty goofy character, and Dark Knight Dark City proved similar to J.M. DeMatteis and Mike Zeck's Kraven's Last Hunt in that some of what I found in those pages blew my mind.

18th century devil-cults that  featured Thomas Jefferson as a member? Scantily clad sacrificial victims on black altars? A cartoonish villain that executes innocent security guards with a bullet between the eyes? Batman forced to perform slit a choking baby's throat in an emergency tracheotomy? Zombies????

Of course, all is not as it appears, but the journey to the revelation is quite the ride. This Barbatos (aka Barbathos) would reappear in Grant Morrison's epic seven-year run, which endeared me to it even more. But this dark storyline was possibly the first place I saw Batman run up against such devilish forces, and it thrilled me!

R.I.P.:

We had an erroneous sneak peek at this post on Wednesday when I pasted in the wrong code, but here's my tribute to Reggie Fucking Banister. R.I.P. 

Back in 2016, I got to briefly say hello to Reggie (from a distance - lots of people and I was extremely concerned with adding to the swarm) on the sidewalk outside L.A.'s Egyptian Theatre. Beyondfest premiered Phantasm: Ravager as part of a double feature with the then-newly restored original Phantasm. I remember reading shortly thereafter that he'd had some health concerns, so maybe ten years on, this was for the best. Either way, sucks to lose such a legend. I always wished we might get a Reggie/Ash crossover at some point when Don Coscarelli began talking about doubling down on Phantasm again in the early 00s. Nothing really came of that, but maybe someday we'll see a comic or something. Either way, I bring it up because Reggie is up there with Campbell for me, as far as 80s Horror Hero Icons.

Watch:

Last night K and I went to see the 20th-anniversary 4K restoration of Neil Marshall's 2005 film The Descent. Here's the trailer released in anticipation of this new theatrical run:

As a diehard Dog Soldiers fan from shortly after it hit video in 2002, I'd been waiting for a new Marshall film and was overjoyed that his sophomore film received the huge theatrical rollout his first film should have. I don't necessarily have to agree with the consensus that seems to consider this his best film - I dig it, especially after seeing it again on the big screen 20 years later - but it's no Dog Soldiers. It's always bothered me that I've pretty much never cared for any of Mr. Marshall's subsequent films, but he is a definite craftsman and I always (almost) give them a chance.

Watching this for the second time on the big screen, twenty years later, a couple of things occurred to me:

    A) I don't think I've seen this since its theatrical release in 2006, and considering the impact it had on me then via what I've carried with me since, I think I missed A LOT of subtext and nuance that first time around. 

    B) Much like Open Water, The Descent affects me. I have a thing about tight, underground spaces (never been in one, not wanted to be in one) the same way I have a thing about large bodies of water. The film exploits that - to great effect, and the result is a genuinely visceral experience. Everything from the point in the film where Holly takes point, all those claustrophobic shots of the girls wiggling into and through some of the most insanely tight holes - not gonna use the word passages for anything that small - is tantamount to any fear I reserve from a viewing of Friedkin's The Exorcist. But it's a different kind of fear, one that I feel less in my mind's eye and more in my body. This serves the film well, so that when bones start a'breakin' and blood lettin', I'm already there.

One final note - for a 4K restoration, the film looks fantastic, but the sound is abysmal. Maybe the worst sound I've ever heard in the theatre. The dialogue through the first act of the film - i.e., pre-cave - is buried so deep in the mix of the score I gave up trying. The mix gets a bit better once we're inside the cave, but even then, everything feels like it has a thin layer of sonic gauze over it. Shame, because this is otherwise a five-star film. Not sure if that's a problem with the source that couldn't be fixed or if my theatre somehow dropped the ball with their equipment. Either way, it definitely detracted from the overall experience.
