@TardStrangler Oh 100%. That’s why I don’t like most of the TCM later entries because Leatherface is basically by himself. The family is core.

@AgreeingBook13 I reckon RZ would capture the Sawyer family dynamics pretty well, that is a part that I feel later TCM films neglected. I am curious to see how A24's take will go.

@AgreeingBook13 I would of like to have seen his take on TCM. It could have been interesting, hopefully not veer into Munster territory lol.

It probably wouldn’t have been a masterpiece but probably a top 3-5 TCM film because the franchise is so messy and inconsistent. His firefly trilogy is a better written trilogy than any of the TCM sequels.

In Barabbas (1961), the crucifixion scene captured a real solar eclipse, as director Richard Fleischer delayed production to film it on February 15, 1961, using its eerie darkness to enhance the moment. No CGI. No tricks.

I remain fascinated by the "Pre-Slop" genre, stuff that dated AI by years, even decades, but foresaw where all "content" was ultimately going. Peter Gabriel dropped this in 1992! Prescient AF.

Sweden 🇸🇪: Eritrean immigrant taxi driver rapes a 15-year-old girl. Her boyfriend organizes with his 3 older brothers, they trick the foreigner into a nature reserve with the promise of sexual favors, overpower him, strangle him and hang his body from a tree in the forest (trying to stage it as suicide). Arrested. The oldest of the 4 brothers (18 at the time) gets life sentence. The other three brothers and the girl herself get between 3 and 4 years in closed youth detention (the girl and her 15-year-old boyfriend got 3.5 years each for aiding and abetting, as they weren’t at the scene). In appeal, three brothers acquitted of murder, the oldest one gets 7 years instead of life, the others get closed youth care.

there are surprisingly a lot of references to Aphex Twin in Japanese media. here's a really good one from Usamaru Furuya's gag manga "Short Cuts"
