Watch with wonder as my tweets mainly consist of movie talk and art/commission stuff! Icon by @beanyzilla and banner by @LyttaV.

I sense a *pretty freaking rad* double feature playing at my house in the not-to-distant future.

It's Saturday morning, so I guess it's time for a Saturday morning cartoon.

[Busiris @Busiris]

@ReelNews26 I think you'll have fun with it. 💪

[Busiris @Busiris]

You better believe I'm laughing at the fact that Letterboxd is crediting Sadako as the co-director of the cursed tape, lmao.

Happy #NationalDonutDay to those who celebrate!!! 🍩

[Busiris @Busiris]

Thankfully there's a shuttle with a cute mascot on it that will probably help make the trip easier.

[Busiris @Busiris]

As I continue to do research, get ready for me to talk about this one from now until February (and probably long thereafter). Really aiming to make the Namahage Sedo Festival my tentpole of my next Japan trip.

The biggest challenge is coordinating travel and lodgings due to a mix of language barrier and also because it'll be a busy event for that area. The thing that's equally exciting and stressful is that it's quite literally in the middle of *nowhere* on the Oga Peninsula.

Happy #ThrowBuThursday! This is a 2022 piece from the wonderful @DE4THPUNCH. This is still a piece that I absolutely love. High-schooler Delinquent Bu is of course the anime main character's rival who becomes his best friend mid-way through the first season.

I'm not even a fan of He-Man stuff but the energy in this screenshot has gotten me through this week.

[Busiris @Busiris]

@ReelNews26 That and the original series, which does not have a physical release, only available on streaming.

[Busiris @Busiris]

Excite!

Last up, something a lot of you have wanted, w/ a bit of an upgrade...

Kamen Rider: Skyrider!

Call it Skyrider, Kamen Rider (New), or just Kamen Rider, the 1st time the Rider returned to TV after the original run ended is coming!

For the first time in HD on disc, anywhere.

[Busiris @Busiris]

@beanyzilla I have reason to believe they might've actually had Jared Leto in there to some degree, so good for him, I say, lmao.

[Busiris @Busiris]

I'm already seeing it with the replies to this clip and I'm sure we'll continue to see it: If anyone complains that the movie is too silly (or "cringe") please remember that those people are a lost cause and won't ever be satisfied, especially when it's *supposed* to be silly.

[Busiris @Busiris]

Oh nooo, another insta-buy for me. SRS Cinema putting out more Minoru Kawasaki tokusatsu movies - this time, Cyborg Tasuke Isshin. 😍

[Busiris @Busiris]

Ultra-shelf update! After a couple years of collecting stuff, I'm starting to realize the small bit of shelving I bought for my office will be insufficient in short time. 😭

[Busiris @Busiris]

You know a movie's good when the boom mic makes a regular appearance.

[Busiris @Busiris]

Tonight's movie, long overdue revisit of Project: Metalbeast. Not a great movie but a supremely awesome bit of werewolf creature suit shenanigans!!

[Busiris @Busiris]

What an absolutely wild and strange start to the summer movie season with two super low budget horror movies with first-time directors blowing the competition away. I'm very interested to see the effect it'll have over the next couple of years.

This weekend was one for the box office history books.

A24’s “Backrooms” collected a record-breaking $81 million in its opening weekend. That’s as ticket sales for the Focus Features breakout “Obsession” jumped again in its third frame with $26.4 million and crossed the $100 million mark domestically. Both movies were directed by YouTube stars and cost nearly nothing to produce, upending conventional wisdom about the necessary components for a hit. https://t.co/M1XLZt5SBb
