Tonight, one of Tolkien's supreme moments of Faerian consolation on the slope of Weathertop, in which Strider consoles himself while consoling the hobbits with the ancient tale of how Beren and Lúthien Tinúviel became one another's sources of consolation in tree-tangled Middle-earth. Remarkable!

The boys take a detour to the old west today to discuss the ultra nihilistic Brimstone from 2016! cultfilmclub.com/hellbent-for...
Shawn Robare@shawnrobare.com · 2d agoYou got your @hellbentforletterbox.com peanut butter mixed up in the @crestwoodhouse.bsky.social chocolate! That’s right, it’s a special crossover as I get a chance to guest on today’s Hellbent to talk all about Brimestone! Boy do I have some thoughts on this one cultfilmclub.com/hellbent-for...
As a 35-year veteran of public education, can confirm. 😂
Brimstone is as dark as it is compelling. Excellent performances and really disturbing subject matter led to a great discussion.

In 1976, we were all working at the car wash.

Veronica Lake by A.L. “Whitey” Schafer for So Proudly We Hail (1943).
I rated this pretty low because of the ending, but I love the summer horror vibe of it and can't stop thinking about it. I might need to revisit.
A ★★½ review of And Soon the Darkness (1970)
Despite the title, And Soon the Darkness takes place over the course of a sunny afternoon in rural France. Two English girls (Pamela Franklin and Michele Dotrice) are bicycling across the country and ...

Yes, we have FINALLY tackled the undisputed masterpiece of Sherlock Holmes movies, starring the undisputed best actor to play Sherlock Holmes: Charlton Heston. Check out what @michaelmay.bsky.social, @paxholley.com, @jacobbeanwatson.bsky.social & I thought about Crucifer of Blood (1991)!

Sean Connery behind the scenes on From Russia with Love (1963)
Took a break from 1976 to listen to what's been released so far from the upcoming U2 album and a local goth band my son introduced me to.
I had this as a kid, but by the end of the school year mine wasn't nearly in this good a shape.

I kind of expected a dip in quality this far into the series, but so far so good. Really liked this one.
A ★★★½ review of Scars of Dracula (1970)
Maybe the most colorful and gothic in the series to this point. Dracula's coffin room - accessible only by people who can crawl on walls - is practical and also gorgeous. Not as gorgeous as that black...

IS THIS THE FIRST VAMPIRE FILM The Devil's Manor, or The Haunted Castle, a 3-minute silent film released in 1896 in France (Le Manoir du Diable) by the Lumière brothers, inventors of the motion picture projector & Georges Méliès. It shows the vampire as bat!
Sarah Nour@sarahnour.bsky.social · 4d agoThe first vampire film was The Vampire (1913), which was based on an 1897 poem by Rudyard Kipling. In the film, a man in a toxic relationship watches a stage show involving a vampire seductress, and realizes it mirrors his own experience. #WyrdWednesday
