It's spooky season, so I'm (re)watching some classic slasher films for Halloween this year. Rewatched John Carpenter's eternal classic 'Halloween' (1978) tonight. Still atmospheric, still haunting, still legendary.
JOHN FUCKING CARPENTER IS KING!

On 30 September 2000, the world watched as Jamal al-Durrah tried to shield his 12 year old son, Muhammad, from Israeli occupation forces. Muhammad al-Durrah was killed that day, a child whose final moments, caught on camera, became one of the most searing images of the Second Intifada and of Palestinian history.
For Palestinians, this is not just footage preserved in history. It is a wound carried across generations. We recognize Jamal’s outstretched arm because it is every parent’s instinct, to shield, to sacrifice, to stand between their child and harm. We remember Muhammad not as an image, but as a boy with a name, a family, and a future that was stolen. His killing was not something we merely saw; it was something we absorbed, something that settled into our collective memory and never left.
Raul Julia is also, and forever will be, my personal favorite version of Gomez Addams. What a performer, the likes of which we can never, ever see again.
Raul Julia as M. Bison in the 1994 Street Fighter film. The man chewed every frame he was in and made it PERFECT. It was already an unapologetically dumb campy movie, but he took that campiness and ran with it. Here's to hoping that the new SF film is even more batshit this year.
Damn I haven't heard anyone use the term 'nazi goreng' since I was in college over a decade ago. I think it's also apt timing to use that term again too since a lot more of these local Malaysian fascist scum are terrorizing the Rohingyan refugees here nowadays.
It's really rad that my anti-imperialist beliefs align a lot with the great Thomas Sankara, Frantz Fanon and the legendary Zapatistas.
