I like that anecdote Scorsese tells about showing Boxcar Bertha to Cassavetes who told him "You spent a year of your life making shit. Don't do it again." Need more of that spirit among directors.

Never forget that Dan "Alien" O'Bannon, who co-wrote Dark Star with Carpenter, never wanted to speak to him again after seeing Assault on Precinct 13. He thought there was something wrong with him and how he saw humanity. He may even have been right.
This was last night's re-watch. It doesn't quite hold together, and the misogyny* does itch watching it 25 years later, but Vampires is probably a little underrated overall. It's got a great dusty, sweaty style, and James Woods is cool AF in it.
*Especially because it's mostly directed at Sheryl "Laura Palmer" Lee! But considering the treatment of Danny Baldwin, it's arguably more reflective of Carpenter's general misanthropy.
Channel 4 have an excellent cache of Korean films at the moment, all for free:
Train to Busan
The Handmaiden
Memories of Murder
The Swordsman
Parasite
Sympathy for Mr Vengeance
Lady Vengeance
The Beast
Beasts Clutching at Straws
The Man Standing Next
Barking Dogs Never Bite
Bedknobs and Broomsticks. The film in which David Tomlinson invents chaos magick and Angela Lansbury (daughter of Edgar Lansbury, Communist Mayor of Poplar, and granddaughter of Labour Party leader George Lansbury) repells a Nazi invasion. RIP.
