Erstwhile lab rat, current bon vivant. Insisting on persisting in this relentlessly roiling morass of madness. Love is real, Love is the Answer, Love is the fulfillment of the Law. We will fix our hearts or die. Fun Fact: I love you. Yes, even *you*.
A certain someone hadda dash to the “restroom,” giving me ~42 seconds to make the point that this is Amazing, this is the kind of Jules Verne movie I thought the world had lost the ability to make! Incredible, what a romping fucking ride oh shit he's coming back gotta schweig’
#PrimitiveWar
NO WAY now we've jumped over to some obnoxious Soviet "advisors" and a North Vietnamese, like, liaison? Is this movie going to end up being Awesome?
#DareToHope #PrimitiveWar
Gotta say, I'm right digging this whole damp, weary 70s Why-The-Fuck-Are-We-In-Vietnam aesthetic, eh? Plus, check out that one stiff in the dress shirt and Ray-Ban Aviators, he might as well be wearing a big neck-sign that says CIA DOUCHEBAG, fun fact.
#PrimitiveWar
Hoooh dang, after the obligatory "soldiers encounter the Big Bad and get wiped out to establish it's a Big Bad," we jump right into CCR's "Fortunate Son," in case you hadn't guessed the movie's POV.

[ethereal chiming]
Huh, this might be worth something after all?
#PrimitiveWar
UPDATE: My beloved Fdot and I have reached a settlement, in which I agree to watch PRIMITIVE WAR next—I dunno, it's dinosaurs in Vietnam or something?—and then he will let me watch MAN FINDS TAPE again, because I have Thoughts, I tell you, grand Thoughts!
Don't you hate it when you think you just found a shoe, but you actually found a foot?

Fun Fact: Every found footage movie eventually arrives at what is called the “Donahue Point¹,” after which all remaining dialogue will be shrieked or shouted.

Anyway, I'm re-watching EVIDENCE (2012) next, because it's cheaper than MAN FINDS TAPE (thanks, streaming channel name of @plex.tv!), although I'll probably cave and pay the $5 or whatever for it after this, because what a triple-feature, right?
Also: Ever wonder what it would be like if a @slimyswampghost.bsky.social illustration of some wretched, gaunt beast were to leap off the page to eat your face? Well, something's wrong with you, fun fact, but there's a couple scenes to satisfy your curiosity *and* let you keep your face!
#BODYCAM
Whoopty-smokin’-*snork*, what a ride! #BODYCAM would make for a mighty dang’d fine found-footage pairing with 2012’s EVIDENCE (Dir: Howie Askins; WriPro: Ryan McCoy), the theme being "Things are normal, then they get a little weird, then they get a lot weird, then HOLY SHIT WHAT THE EFFING FUCK!?!?"
My beloved Fdot has unexpectedly declared that now is the time in the Lair when we watch @shudder.com original BODYCAM, and since he doesn't normally pipe up and say things like, "Hey let's watch a movie you've been wanting to watch," I'm setting aside my trochar and settling down for scares!
I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

"How the 'Fox News Cabinet' Helped Jumpstart Trump's Iran War"

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other
I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.
