I now realised that I spent hours of my teenage and uni years learning and experimenting with <a href="/tags/dvd/" rel="tag">#DVD</a> authoring, to the point of creating interactive animated experiences, and by the time I reached a time in my life when I could try to make it into a job, the DVD was already dying as a medium. being a millenial is having a lot of things like that happen to you.

Everyone always talks about Elvira all October, but what about the woman behind the original big titty goth girlfriend of our dreams, Cassandra Peterson? <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/sakurajima.moe/neocat_thinking.png" class="emoji" alt=":neocat_thinking:" title=":neocat_thinking:"> This is why we're celebrating <a href="/tags/noviranovember/" rel="tag">#NoViraNovember</a>, a new movie "holiday" where we only watch movies with Cassandra credited as a character that isn't Elvira. Here's the lineup:★ Pee-wee's Big Adventure - Tim Burton's directorial debut and an epic collaboration of two members of The Groundlings, this movie is an all time whimsical classic! <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/sakurajima.moe/neocat_aww.png" class="emoji" alt=":neocat_aww:" title=":neocat_aww:"> ★ Balboa - A mostly forgotten made for TV film with an extremely limited physical release. There are rumors the home release has added nudity?!? So we tracked down a VHS copy as it doesn't seem to be archived online! <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/sakurajima.moe/neocat_laptop_notice.png" class="emoji" alt=":neocat_laptop_notice:" title=":neocat_laptop_notice:"> ★ Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold - This movie was the sequel to King Solomon's Mines and was filmed back-to-back! While the first movie was a major success, this one is a classic 80's box office bomb. <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/sakurajima.moe/neocat_surprised.png" class="emoji" alt=":neocat_surprised:" title=":neocat_surprised:"> ★ The Working Girls - Cassandra Peterson's first credited role! This rare sexploitation film directed by a woman has been lauded for its feminist themes. And yes, this is that film. You know, the one where you see Cassandra's uncensored naked titties. <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/sakurajima.moe/neocat_catmode.png" class="emoji" alt=":neocat_catmode:" title=":neocat_catmode:"> ★ All About Evil - One of Cassandra's rare horror outings outside of the Elviraverse, this black comedy slasher film is sure to leave you rolling on the floor! One way or another... <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/sakurajima.moe/neocat_nervous.png" class="emoji" alt=":neocat_nervous:" title=":neocat_nervous:"> This epic lineup includes films from Scarecrow Video, one of the largest video stores left in the United States, and a physical media heaven worthy of support. Hope to see y'all there! <img src="https://eggplant.place/media/emoji/sakurajima.moe/neocat_thumbsup.png" class="emoji" alt=":neocat_thumbsup:" title=":neocat_thumbsup:"> <a href="/tags/movies/" rel="tag">#Movies</a> <a href="/tags/vhs/" rel="tag">#VHS</a> <a href="/tags/dvd/" rel="tag">#DVD</a> <a href="/tags/physicalmedia/" rel="tag">#PhysicalMedia</a> <a href="/tags/susanscinemastash/" rel="tag">#SusansCinemaStash</a> <a href="/tags/elvira/" rel="tag">#Elvira</a>

finished watching <a href="https://eggplant.place/search?r=1&q=https://eggplant.place/movie/0mUWFcfbM9eubh15afvgmL" rel="nofollow">Suzume</a> 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 Pretty good imo.Story overall isn't anything groundbreaking, but it could balance pretty well drama/suspense, humor/levity, gorgeous shots that help giving a scale of what's happening, and a soundtrack that is there as needed. Also thanks to this visual/environmental storytelling, the movie doesn't need to say much to tell the story.Still, <a href="/tags/suzumenotojimari/" rel="tag">#SuzumeNoTojimari</a> feels a bit more rushed on the second half. And even if it doesn't sour the experience, it lowers my score for it into a solid 8/10.Would want to comment some more things, but with the lack of spoiler tagging in NeoDB, Idk how to do so. Also it gives a very slight feeling of watching <a href="/tags/thegirlwholeaptthroughtime/" rel="tag">#TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime</a>, even if the scope of the two movies is way different.And lastly, for the ownership folk, I can confirm the release with SKU FG-10962 comes with both <a href="/tags/bd/" rel="tag">#BD</a> and <a href="/tags/dvd/" rel="tag">#DVD</a>! =DSadly no DRM-free download though.
