The Return of Godzilla, 1984

The models, destruction, and monster suit look amazing. The ending is a wet noodle. The product is pretty fun.

Really nice cinematography, doing wide shots and camera moves that you don’t always see in the human scenes. Also, two caterpillars kick Godzilla's ass with webbing.

In this one, it’s pretty racist.

In this one, the psychic gets turned into a flower monster, and a man in a hard hat gets bonked with a big bonk sound.
Gentle reminder that Black Sabbath’s Sabotage album cover was itself the victim of sabotage.
The designers “carried on with the shoot, explaining they would superimpose the images at a later stage and that it would look great, to be honest. The session was unbelievably rushed, and the outcome was far from what had been originally envisaged.”
Those were their street clothes. 🎵 🤘
Bring Her Back, 2025 - ★★★★

Sally Hawkins is so, so good. She gives the biggest feel bad toxic positivity performance I've maybe ever seen, and somehow you're still sort of rooting for her. Also, features one of the gnarliest gore scenes that had my roommates and I crawling up the couch. A+.
Weapons, 2025 - ★★★★

Finally got around to seeing this. Wha a romp. Beat window smashing in recent memory.
Talk to Me, 2022 - ★★★★

What a great modern horror movie.
Happy Halloween 🎃
I voted early today, and got myself that sweet sweet Halloween sticker, along with supporting a mayor I’m actually excited about. Let’s go Mamdani! 🌇🇺🇸

This movie happened.
Astoria loves Lions.
A neighborhood flower.
I took a photo I only kind of liked. Something was missing. Turns out? Mirror.
Playing with desaturation.
One Battle After Another, 2025 - ★★★★★

This movie rules. Saw it in vista vision and only the front row was left. Had a great time but my neck hurts.
Retsina doesn’t always sit in the toy box, but when she does, she drinks Dos Equis. 🐈
A good rain.
Playing with hyper saturation at the intersection of industrial and green space, in Astoria.
I actually like a lot of the new Liquid Glass apple redesign, but the expected readability issues are very much present. 💽
Last week I completed Mental Health First Aid training. Good material, and a great group and instructor. I highly recommend it to anyone who’s interested.
