Hey moots — I’m now on Letterboxd 😬 Looks like you can follow, comment and reply on the app — so if anyone has an account, let me know so I can follow you back. @letterboxd.social

Time to say happy new year and au revoir!! My New Year’s resolution is to get off social media — it’s been a fun year here, hopefully I posted a bunch of cool content, and maybe you discovered something new. I wish you all the best for 2026 to infinity and beyond! ✌️ 🕊️

It’s not only that Akira is one of the wildest and most imaginary films, that it’s entirely hand illustrated makes it all the more mind blowing. This was 1988 — how stunning does it look in the original 35mm scan? #filmsky #cinema #akira #anime 📽️

Some classic albums turning 50 in 2026 #musicSky

It’s interesting that Black Sabbath’s “Symptom of the Universe” & Celtic Frost’s “Dethroned Emperor” are from the same era, in that they came out within 10 yrs of one another. [We tend to draw a line in the sand today between 70s proto vs 80s trad — but musically, this was all on the same continuum]

the thing people forget about The Art of Air Guitar ™️ is that your picking hand must be as good as your shredding widdly hand — let me tell you, my downpicking chugga riff speed and sweeping arpeggio accuracy can carve mountains

It is not that one yearns for this era. It will never come back, of course. It is that one is thankful to have lived in this timeline. 80s thrash metal on the telly! 📺 #metalsky #sepultura

For saying, “it’s inexplicable how bad this film is” about the new Wolf Man movie. narrator: it was, in fact, shit.

Retirement Goals: [no not become an architect, just learn how to write like one — my fave handwriting style] 📝

Taxi Driver. 1976. Dir: Martin Scorsese. Shot on Eastman Kodak 35mm film stock. All candid shots of NYC in the Summer of ‘75 during the heatwave & sanitation strike. Neon lights and rain-soaked streets. #filmsky #cinema

Glenn Danzig’s letter to Cliff Burton for permission to cover “Green Hell” I’m no handwriting expert but it is cool when people write their g’s and a’s in a typewriter font 🤗

The Tascam 4 track. Do you even know how many classic demos were recorded on this warbly, tape hiss little bitch 😭

Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Perhaps one of the finest castings in film history. #filmsky #cinema #technicolor

Nightmare Logic is a good example of modern-era vintage production • Arthur Rizk used an analog approach • inspired by RiB & ST’s Lights Camera • vintage gear at Echo Lab studios TX • snare based on Metal Church debut • real amps, Marshall tubes • 80s Boss pedals & Ibanez tube screamers #metalsky

Its all over metal nowadays, not only in Thrash. Modern production has made everything sterile..

I believe the people who put together the timelines of Rhapsody bands/ members are the ones who have what it takes to find out who the zodiac killer is

This. Thrash — of all genres — should *never* sound perfectly precise, neat and computerized. Modern productions have stripped out all the organic, natural sounds of actual humans playing instruments. Make mistakes. Fret buzz. A bum note The spirit of Thrash is high tops, skateboards, beer & weed.

The Birds. 1963. Dir: Alfred Hitchcock. A hidden camera was setup in a furniture van to get this shot of Tippi Hedren crossing Union Square in San Francisco; watch closely for the ‘invisible cut’ transitioning from exterior to studio. And of course Hitchcock’s dog walking cameo. #filmsky #cinema

Fist of Fury. 1972. Dir: Wei Lo. This is one of the most beautifully shot fight scenes in kung fu cinema history. #filmsky #brucelee #kungfu #cinema

Soundgarden. “Beyond the Wheel.” 1992. Paramount, Seattle Chris Cornell — • vocal range: 4 octaves • C#2/E2 — A5/E6 • Baritone • “mixed voice”: head & chest • Little to no falsetto I’ll let an actual singer explain *why* all of the above is awesome, I’m just spittin’ facts w/ receipts. #musicsky

I haven’t tweeted in over a year and I still get love over there 😭

Commando. 1985. Few outside the US knew this back in the 80s, but you couldn’t just walk into a high st shop and buy heavy military-grade weaponry: rocket launchers & hand grenades etc — yes, magnums, Uzi 9mm and AK47s for sure, but not anti-tank bazookas & claymore mines #filmsky #commando #arnie

Satyricon. “Dark Medieval Times.” 1993. mood

winter is coming

Gotta love how they left the blood splatter on the camera lens

Arrived this am — The Killer ‘89 & Hard Boiled ‘92. The film negatives had been collecting dust in an old HKG archive for 30+ years, together with another 150 films, until Shout Factory wrangled the rights. This is a big deal - I’m sure they could make a documentary about it. #filmsky #cinema

Braveheart is 30 yrs old and still sets the benchmark for medieval butchery #filmsky #braveheart #cinema

Diary of a Madman is in a category of “perfect 10s” — each song flawless, zero filler: Mountain 10/10 Flying High 10/10 You Can’t Kill R n R 10/10 Believer 10/10 Little Dolls 10/10 Tonight 10/10 SATO 10/10 Madman 10/10 It’s 45 yrs old but because the tracks are deep cuts there’s no fatigue. #Ozzy
