Some movie-writing guy who occasionally writes for Daily Grindhouse and has lots of Kast movie nights where he shows random crap.

At one point the movie cuts to a cool spider and it doesn't feel like it's a "see, this symbolizes how the spider spins a web" or some crap, it's just like "hey, there's also this cool spider around" and I respect that in filmmaking

Up in Smoke

1978

★★★½ Watched

Sure, some of it is a little on the racist side, but most of it is fun and goofy, and I laughed more than I thought I would. Kind of tapers out in the final third (I figured a battle of the punk bands segment would be a no-brainer, but I guess 1978 may have been a little early for a studio film to really find the zeitgeist) but I enjoyed watching these two fellows do drugs.

An amazing masterpiece of oddness that spits in the face of auteur theory.

A Journey Into Bliss

2004

★★★★ Watched

Possibly the most bizarre German film I've ever seen. Comparisons to FORBIDDEN ZONE are apt -- it's a surreal, perverse fairy tale fantasy on a dime store budget.
