CatBusRuss Stevens 🔜 B-Fest

The description that @telstarman.bsky.social provided in his slide for “The Dragon Lives Again” makes it a must see for any pop culture/genre cinema.

A ★ review of Monsters Crash the Pajama Party (1965) Perhaps the film’s poorly lit to help with the shadow play gimmick. It knows that it’s silly and cheap, but this turd is not shined enough to make it worth going out of your way to see.

And the lack of a monkey in the audience, william castle style, was very evident.

Make every wrong decisions with a stupid premise. Get deep hurting. It wants to wink at the camera the entire runtime and thinks that if, “Mel Brooks got away with just being silly,” then it will not feel out of place to the audience. The choices just reek of desperation.

The Shaft: Every bad decision that could be made in this remake, is made. I swear they ADR’d 9-11 jokes to make it seem prescient when it debuted shortly after the event. The Good Decisions: Absolute insanity and not having to opening credits. You’ll pop for every star.

I risked my health by putting on roller skates to introduce the films I sponsored only to now realize that “Ice Pirates”’ is a near perfect movie. We got skates with the “Rollerball” clips and blacksploitation with a pimp bot and Roscoe’s perfect robot.

I should have someone take a pick of me with my roller skates as I went full CatBus to introduce “Plan 9 from Outer Space” & “The Wizard of Speed and Time”. Why skates? Because the @bfest.bsky.social has to feature skates. This is shaping up to be one.

We’ve had a @vinsyn.bsky.social label film. Now it’s time for some @kinolorber.com. If I see a Canon logo before a film, @bfest.bsky.social maybe perfect.

Ticks (1993) Teens camping in a northern California retreat are terrorized by mutant insects created by evil, polluting pot farmers.

Alfonso Ribeiro is cast to do what black people in horror do. But when you have the director of “Society”’s money behind it, the last 20 minutes maybe worth a watch. Otherwise, it’s two years late on capitalizing on “Arachnophobia” buzz.

A ★★ review of Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984) There is so much that doesn’t work. And there’s so much you’re going to root for that you will have fun. It’s a mentally-stunted child of the ‘80s, and we’re the proud, supportive parents.

A ★★ review of Deathstalker II: Duel of the Titans (1987) The actors know, and we know, they’re in a low budget flick. They don’t stop and ask if we’re aware. And they offer up boobs. It’s silly, but not painful.

CatBusRuss & his big sis debate whether or not #KpopDemonHunters is worthy of being included on the most prestigious #physicalmedia label. When compared to “Fantastic Planet”, Russ’s doubts seem warranted.

Has there ever been a
Cooler #scifi ensemble than the Hong Kong Cavaliers? Perhaps they could have used Joey Pants. #TheAvengers can’t hold a candle to them. Is it fair to say that the @bfest.bsky.social crowd agrees with that?

John Carpenter Month: You Listen. 'They Live'

CatBusRuss’s favorite Carpenter’s film. Is there a tag team greater than Keith David & Rowdy Roddy Piper?

And, is 2010’s “The Ward” a true Carpenter flick?

Both nightmares & dreams are delightful. You cannot question giant, French-clown sprites are a bit terrifying despite the fun journey. Freddy Krueger killing abuser Johnny Depp is glorious.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

My big sister, ThePoeticCritic, suggested that someone is going to find a cinema marquee and change “Hoppers” to “Poopers”. I told her there aren’t enough O’s.

“Oh, they’ll find an O.”

“No they won’t. Look what’s out right now.”

Scream 7.

You can’t buy that vowel.

I cannot believe you're live-posting this atrocious movie I kinda love.

Hey, I need to be prepared for its showing @bfest.bsky.social tomorrow.

The Rivermen should just beat the shit out of the #Pensacola Ice Flyers for having the worst name in #Hockey. #Philadelphia shows us you don’t need “ice” to fly. Why the fuck do you want to be associated with #ICE.

Hey, I need to be prepared for its showing @bfest.bsky.social tomorrow.

I’m having fun at the @peo_rivermen game. There are rarely any midweek #hockey games in this league. So, there shouldn’t be that many kids in the crowd. Thus, it should be cool for the crowd’s language to be R-Rated. Let’s make the @pcolaiceflyers feel welcome.

Bill & Ted Face the Music Plot It's 2020. It's been decades since Bill and Ted traveled through time with Death and played Battle of the Bands, with the knowledge that one day they are going to play the song that will unite the world. Now passed middle age, with daughters who admire them, and wives who 'tolerate' them - they still have not written or played the song. They are informed by those from the future (including Rufus' wife and daughter) that the future is all but doomed - if they don't perform the song within 77 minutes!

Their ability to be playful and their love of cats, are just two of the many reasons why I admire the Ukrainians.
