Snagged a last-minute face value ticket to Sleep Token tonight after refreshing official fan resale all morning. Fuck Ticketmaster anyways.

Infested is quite the entertaining little creepy crawly ride.

Back from a late night showing of Handling the Undead. Good film if you like new and unusual takes on zombie epidemics. (I do.) Based on another novel by the writer of Let the Right One In. Very intimate, very slow. Very depressing.

Seated for Cuckoo! Stay tuned.

Depends on what you want out of a viewing experience! Most of his works are dimensional in some regard. Perfect Blue, his darkest film, is psychological as all hell and was a direct influence on several of Darren Aronofsky's works (he's even replicated some of Kon's scenes). Paprika is a bit...

New track with Julien Baker just released
