I was reading reviews and stumbled on Amanda & the Alien, a little piece of schlock that some people really seem to dig. Seems like it holds up really well as a trans allegory and is a bunch of fun to boot. I got a big smile on my face when I saw this review:jonfkroll posted:I made this film 27 years ago and am humbled and flattered by the comments here by those who enjoyed it. But I can only give it three stars; I’d like to think I’ve done better since. Anyone else find other filmmakers discovering that people these days really enjoy their old b-movies? feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Dec 31, 2022 |

Top 2 for me I guess, only two movies I found noteworthy : 1)The Northman 2)Avatar 2 And if you really wish to stretch the list into "competent entertainment I guess" : 3)Thirteen Lives 4)Medieval Top 10 movies I watched for the first time in 2022 regardless of the year they came out : 1)Symphony for a Massacre 2)The Northman 3)Odd Job 4)Dog Day Afternoon 5)Whatever 6)Baxter 7)Deerskin 8)Die Brücke 9)The Very Private Life of Mister Sim 10)Avatar 2 It's probably the first year in a decade I haven't watched the Duellists at all, but guess what? There're still a few hours in the year, let's go.

I wish I had specific titles, but I remember in Nightmare USA the author Stephen Thrower asks multiple directors about scenes or circumstances around their films and they just plain don't remember because it was so long ago, or like Fragrasso they never even watched the finished film. Of course some of the filmmakers do recall everything, especially if they just recently did some rerelease or restoration work, and some of them have funny bits about watching their own movie for the first time in forever and saying like, what a piece of poo poo! or, here's what I'd do different today, or even just that they're happy how it came out.

Brett Piper's audio commentary on the ancient DVD of Dark Fortress (aka Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell) is worth a listen. Lots of old school FX chat plus his dissatisfaction with both the film itself and especially Troma's braindead marketing. I don't care, I love the movie. One shot was supposed to have a beautiful galaxy hanging in the sky above the characters, a glass matte he hung in front of the camera, but the film lab color corrected it to be almost invisible and he didn't have the funds or time to reshoot!

Darthemed posted:Final tallies for 2022. Wow, I’m envious that you got to watch 25 Koji Shiraishi films. I was happy just to watch the Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! episodes that were up on YouTube in October. Buster Keaton was by far my most watched star and director in 2022. I rewatched all his classic Twenties output earlier in the year.

Stats posts? Stats post! 299 films logged.    I feel really bad about my Top 2022 list because this was maybe the worst year for me on keeping up on new releases. I have been trying to watch more movies from the 1940s-1970s, and that's going to continue in the new year I think. Top 5 of 2022 for me, right now, is Barbarian, NOPE, Avatar 2, Everything Everywhere, The Northman. Almost all of my new release watches were genre films, partially from the local indie theater's lineup, and partially from everything being VOD (I can't pay $20 for a single rental, folks).

I have not kept up with new releases (outside of shorts) much at all, but 2022 was a great year for some deep dives for me.  457 logs, but I was involved in the local horror short festival which pumped those numbers up a bit.

I haven't checked it all but tell me if you want to be included and for some reason aren't yet so we can stare at your terrible taste for movies in an orderly fashion thx for keeping this up (on there https://letterboxd.com/aschaeffer) I had a shameful 2022 numbers wise. I hit 50ish for the year. Best things: Everything Everywhere All At Once (even bought the disc and the book, something I don't really do for modern/current stuff), Full Tilt Boogie (making of Dawn till Dusk from 96), Jackass Forever, You Won't Be Alone Worst: Morbius, Get Hard, Hot Tub Time Machine 2, Halloween Ends...lot of .5-1 star films. Hoping to do better for 2023. Prioritize things I know are good over full-on crap.

 A good year. My top directors/actors are skewed because I did marathons of Scooby-Doo, Pokemon, Miyazaki and Raimi. Wasn't able to go as obscure as I have in previous years, only got a low of 57 views this time.
