Milwaukee, WI – In response to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good at the hands of ICE agents, over 350 people gathered for an emergency vigil, January 7, outside of the ICE Enforcement and Removal offices at 310 E Knapp Street. Emotions ran high as community leaders spoke out against the newest round of raids in Minnesota, calling for ICE out of everywhere.
“We’re building something broad and we have a united front,” said Alan Chavoya of Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO). “Elected officials, community grassroots organizations, faith leaders. That’s who’s here today. We have the movement of everyone.”
This included a strong presence of the labor movement at the vigil. Pam Fendt from the Milwaukee Area Labor Council (MALC) said, “The influx of ICE and Border Patrol agents into American cities is doing anything but making us safer. ICE actions are taking good workers away from local companies and farms. They’re tearing families apart.”
“We are the quality control for law enforcement,” said Nat Godley of Milwaukee Turners Legal Observers. “We make sure they are operating as they are supposed to constitutionally, legally. Not as those ICE agents behaved in Minneapolis today. We must be vigilant, and we must be active. There is no more time for quiet bystanders.”
The determined crowd that gathered made chants of “I-C-E out of M-K-E” and “¡Sí se puede!” while picketing outside of the ICE field office. This effort was put on by several Milwaukee community and grassroots organizations including Voces de la Frontera, Milwaukee Turners, and the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression

This is a totally normal selection of films to watch in a week, right?
Death Rides a Horse (1967)
In the Tall Grass (2019)
Deterrence (1999)
The Lickerish Quartet (1970)
The Rainbow (1989)
Censor (2021)
The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973)
Wavelength (1967)
<---> (aka Back and Forth, 1969)
Boogie Nights (1997)
Alphaville (1965)
"Deterrence" really sucked. "<--->" was a lot harder to watch than "Wavelength" (both experimental from same director). "Censor" may be my favorite of these.

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •A perfectly reasonable number and assortment of films to watch in a week.
The Osterman Weekend (1983)
Ice (1970)
Homework (1982)
The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)
It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958)
Island of Lost Souls (1932)
Resident Evil (2002)
The Black Room (1982)
Civil War (2024)
"Osterman", the final film of Sam Peckinpah is a mess. I wanted to like "Ice" but it's so deeply 60s and then foregoes exposition for vibes, so it disappointed. "Civil War" is more intense with fireworks.

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •A typical number and selection of films for a week.
The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (1975)
Sherlock Jr (1924)
44 Inch Chest (2009)
Fun with Dick and Jane (1977)
M3gan (2022)
Surf Nazis Must Die (1987)
Go (1999)
Jezebel (1938)
"Fun with Dick and Jane" was middling, but Dick makes jokes about a transwoman and gets told off for it, in 1977(!)
I enjoyed "Surf Nazis Must Die" more than the much more serious and higher budget "44 Inch Chest". And the Nazis did all die.

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •An ordinary count and variety of films to watch in a week.
Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010)
Britannia Hospital (1982)
Welcome to Marwen (2019)
FDR: American Badass (2012)
Spartacus (1960)
Hair High (2004)
The Package (1989)
"Britannia" is the third and final in the Mick Travis trilogy, made me think of "The Hospital" (1971) a tiny bit.
"FDR" is much lamer than "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer"(2012) but same idea.
And I liked the "Marwencol" (2010) doc better than the fictionalized one.

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •A very standard week's worth of movies.
Joysticks (1983)
Last Cab to Darwin (2015)
Bad Company (1972)
Narrow Margin (1990)
Red State (2011)
The Perils of Gwendolyn (1984)
Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)
The Fantastic Four (1994)
"Last Cab" was clear winner for best film this week. "Joysticks", by a narrow margin, is worse than the Roger Corman "Fantastic Four". "Gwendolyn" is just weird.
I wrote a blog entry about "Joysticks": qaz.wtf/qz/blosxom/2025/07/22/…

Bitter Moon (1992)
Buzzard (2015)
"Palindromes" was hard to watch, I knew it would be, so I had been putting it off a couple of years. "All About Eve" and "Bitter Moon" were both pretty dull. I only watched "Buzzard" for the Power Glove. "Excision" was a delightfully fun body horror and best of week.

"Dead Calm" was the best of the week.
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •A week of movies, unremarkable in number or selection.
Big Eyes (2014)
Coma (1978)
Waitress (2007)
Gold (2022)
Carnage (2011)
Fathom (1967)
Mortal Engines (2018)
"Waitress" was really good, even if I had confused it with "Shopgirl" (2005) and wondered when Steve Martin would show up.
"Fathom" seems like a "Modesty Blaise" (1966) rip-off.
"Big Eyes" and "Carnage" I choose for Christoph Waltz.
"Mortal Engines" rips off from so much, the patchwork city is a patchwork of other stories.
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •The watchings of the week.
Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966)
Bionic Showdown (1989)
Upstream Color (2013)
The Big Sleep (1946)
Ghostbusters Frozen Empire (2024)
Prey (1977)
Deathgasm (2013)
Soup to Nuts (1930)
Sphinx (1981)
The Proposition (2005)
"Manos" is a better film than the made-for-tv "Bionic Showdown". "Ghostbusters" was pretty forgettable.
"Upstream Color", same writer/director as "Primer" (2004), gave me strange dreams.
"Proposition" was much more than I had expected. Good film.
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •Another week, some more movies.
Salesman (1969)
Free Fire (2017)
Mindwarp (1991)
The Savage Eye (1959)
Sinners (2025)
Cake (2014)
The Final Cut (2004)
Mark of the Vampire (1935)
I'll Take Your Dead (2019)
Spider Baby (1967)
"Salesman" and "Savage Eye" make a good pair. "Savage" keeps returning to my mind and may be favorite of the week.
"Mindwarp" reminded me of "The Matrix" (1991). "Final Cut" of "One Hour Photo" (2002). "Mark" had a terrible finish, I choose it for Carroll Borland's role.
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •Besides Modular Film Fest (other thread), I watched a few other films in the last week.
A Quiet Place (2018)
The Toxic Avenger (2023)
The Howling (1981)
Top End Wedding (2019)
"Toxic Avenger" was shown in festivals starting 2023 but didn't get a proper release until now. I have been waiting for Peter Dinklage as Toxie Since it was in production. The crowd in the theater I went to was older than I expected but the place was full. Good reboot of the Troma mascot.
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •Outside of the Modular Film Festival (in another thread) I only found the time to watch two other films this week.
Red Sonja (2025)
Gimme Shelter (1970)
I have never read "Sonja" so I don't know if it follows the comics well, but it was better than "Red Sonja" (1985) with Schwarzenegger top-billed.
I saw a news piece this week about a "Crusaders" bike gang providing security somewhere, so the Altamont Speedway concert documentary, with Hell's Angels providing "security", seemed a good choice
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •In addition to the Modular Film Fest films in the past week I've seen:
Boar (2017)
Swamp Thing (1982)
10 Rillington Place (1971)
"Boar" is not as good as "Razorback" (1984), also a Aussie pig turned dangerous.
"Swamp Thing" is early Wes Craven, a bad comic book sourced story. It qualifies for two upcoming MFF prompts but I have other plans.
"Rillington" closes follows a real British mass murder case with a wrongful conviction. It was made in part to counter calls for a return to executions.
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •Besides film fest, in the past week I watched:
The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982)
Swallows and Amazons (2016)
One Million Years BC (1966)
The Sales Girl (2021)
"Sales Girl", from Mongolia, is a delight.
The sword in "Sword and the Sorcerer" has three blades is more improbable than the film plot.
Some people say watch "One Million" for Raquel Welch, I say for the Harryhausen effects. No one says watch it for the story.
I've read all the Arthur Ransome books, hence the kid's flick "Swallows"

Miss Congeniality (2000)
The Love Witch (2016)
Dead End Drive-In (1986)
Sleeping Beauty (2011)
The Time Travelers (1964)
High art, none of them. Several try to be: "Fare" (time loop mystery, written by a woman); "Love Witch" (erotic horror); and "Sleeping Beauty" (erotic thriller). Those last two both written/directed by women

"Cypher" was better than I would have guessed. Nice PKD vibe.
"Ballerina" is Asylum coat-tailing a title.
"Wicker" (2006) is a case study in how to ruin a remake.
"Meat" is a fun home invasion story.

Ali G Indahouse (2002)
Oh God (1977)
Ginger Snaps (2000)
"Narcissus" and "Ratcatcher" are the winners of the week.
"S.O.B." is an elaborate scheme to get Julie Andrews to show her tits.
"Sometimes" is forumlaic King.
"Elite" has nice 1970s San Francisco scenes..
"God" the rare John Denver starring role.

Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006)

"Meantime", "Dreams", and "Lucky" all fit a "what are you doing with your life?" theme seen from different ages.
"Spirits" and "Cat" both Jane Fonda.
"Inspector" is trash.

"Cyclops" is classic mad scientist thing.
"Carol" is a Rod Serling rewrite of Dickens.
"Vera" is a Mike Leigh period piece.
"Heartbeeps" is Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters as robots.
"Postcard" is about a real Aussie criminal.
"Terrorvision" is a wild trip with Mary Woronov from the director of "The Dungeonmaster" (1985)

"Alone" is post-apocalyptic Peter Dinklage.
"Invasion" was later adapted into a Doctor Who story.
"Carnival" is manga anthology.
"Bag" is a smart spy story.
"Divorce" is a rom-com for boomers.
"Monsters" was less than I hoped.
"Lady" is a very slow kid-friendly ghost story

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •Films? Yes. Watch the films. Last week:
Wake Up Dead Man (2025)

"Dead Man" is second best "Knives Out"
"Bugonia" is a gory paranoia comedy
"Tribes" is more like "A Dysfunctional Family of Palos Verdes"
"Black Christmas" is the rare 70s sorority slasher without nudity

"Lions" is starts well but ends in a swamp

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •How have I missed Beverly Luff Linn!?
I must see if I can track it down.
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •"Kindness" is a Yorgos Lanthimos anthology film with the same actors having different roles in three stories
"Yesterday" is a Vittorio De Sica anthology film with the same actors having different roles in three stories
"Breathless" is the exemplar of French New Wave
"Slave" is a hard look, but not as hard as it could have been
"Twinless" is rom-com with a funeral
"An Evening" is a very carefull affected oddball comedy
"Chappie" I wrote about in my blog: qaz.wtf/qz/blosxom/2026/01/09/…

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •"Affair" is Robert Mitchum trying to clean up his image
"Eight Bells" has Anthony Hopkins an action star, a British frogman looking for stolen ships
"Walker" is late Monsterdon film, ancient aliens and mummies
"45 Years" is how a marriage can break up late in life
"Breaker" is Chuck Norris vs the Speed Trap Town
"Phantom" is fashion house romance, of a sort
"Horses" is a dance-a-thon that destroys desperate people
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •"Alone" is odd but thought provoking folk horror witchcraft, in Macedonian
"Alfredo Garcia" is Sam Peckinpah making a violent road trip movie through Mexico
"Miller's Point" is crystalized big family holiday gathering, at once recognizable, bittersweet, slow, and funny
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •"Company" is "Little Red Riding Hood" with werewolves
"Dead Heat" is buddy-cop film with zombie cop named "Roger Mortis"
"Devil" is just fun b-flick
"Pizza" is low-brow Aussie based on a sit-com
And for a personal Josie/Lola theme:
"Josie" is boomer Western-Rom-Com
Three of at least nine films named "Lola":
1961: French fairy-tale romance
1981: Fassbinder's rework of "The Blue Angel" (1930), now set in 1950s Germany
2023: Waste of time time machine to see future or past

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •"Weapons" is witchcraft story from the director of the Airbnb horror "Barbarian" (2022).
I rather liked Jason Read's "private property enables horror" reviews of the two films. (Jason is active on Mastodon: @JasonReadunemployednegativity )

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •"Pig" is Nicholas Cage looking for his stolen pig. "Ghost" is is Nicholas Cage looking for his stolen kid.
"Ladybug" is like a prequel to "The War Game" (1965). There's an alarm at school and no one knows if it is real or false. But they treat it as real and the film ends with no conclusion. And possibly one death by suffocation.
"Moon" is Hammer Films making a space western
"Spy" is cold-hearted Cold War espionage games
"Friday" is like a lighthearted "Ace in the Hole" (1951)
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •I'll probably expand this film's comments into a blog post. But for now: "Deathstalker" is a remake of the 1983 film.
The original is a T&A Spectacular / Swords and Sorcery / Comedy in that order of priority.
Jokes are of the "Dog, the other white meat" caliber.
Every woman under 30 in the cast is there to show skin.
The title character is not morally ambiguous, he's morally odious. "Antihero" would be a gentrification of the man.
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •The 2025 "Deathstalker" has reined most of that in. The story has a similar flavor but the moral smell has dissipated.
It's a Swords and Sorcery / Comedy. No dogs get eaten.
There's only two plot signficant women, but both keep their clothes on. (One is a witch who doesn't even show her face.)
It is still small budget and using practical effects, with a lot of gore. And evil frogs. But now way less embarrassing to watch with company.

I think you’re unkind to SOB. It has more than two attractions.

I remember being disappointed. That's about all I remember.

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •And the horror films:
"Thirteen" is Myrna Loy before "Thin Man". She's the killer here, in a roundabout way.
"Phibes" is a very low dialog Vincent Price campy revenge.
"Candyman" is Candyman.
"Piranha" is Roger Corman killer fish.
"Iron" is Jean Collin French graveyard romp gone wrong.
"Survivor" supposes survival was an accident and needs correction.
I put my thoughts about "Langoliers" and "Timekeepers" in a blog post: qaz.wtf/qz/blosxom/2025/10/30/…

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •"Fair Game" is an Aussie torment-the-woman-until-she-snaps type thing. More action and dismay than horror, but horrible things happen.
It's not a good story, but has incredible stunt work. I'm a sucker for those 70s and 80s danger to all involved stunts.
In "Game", I kept waiting for the snap to happen, it's really delayed. But meanwhile people are jumping between cars without wires, running around on a tin roof while a ute (pick-up) knocks down the supports, stuff like that.
Resuna
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •Ah yes, Phibes.
So when I was really too young to see things like this, the kids living on the other side of the park had an uncle with a film projector and no compunctions about playing horror movies to kids.
I can still close my eyes and visualize fragments of the "Plague of Locusts" scene, over 50 years later.

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •"Never Died" feels like the first of a series
"Employee" and "Milkshake": both disappointing
"XX", a female directed horror anthology, was fun
"Carnal" is tedious Jack Nicholson
"Lost World" is amusing "Max Max"-ish cheese
"Blue Ruin" is another Jeremy Saulnier item
"Coversations" nice twist on chance wedding meet-up
"Apartment" is a good documentary, not about Roof Man
"Drivers" good noir, and early showing for many stars
"Radius" starts well but ends dreary
"Beyond" is fun Lovecraft

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •"Murder Party" is same director as "Green Room" from previous week. Fun Halloween party comedy horror, where the intended victim is the most competent. (And possibly the best artist.)
"I Don't Feel at Home" is directed by guy playing the werewolf in "Party". Also stage manager in "Green Room". Also director of "Toxic Avenger" (2023). I didn't enjoy it as much as any of the others, but the second half is better than the first.

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •"I'll Take Your Dead" I may have selected for the full sentence movie title thing ( fed.qaz.red/@elithebearded/115… ),
It didn't really live up to the intrigue of the title, but it wasn't bad.

Over that time I've watched 94 movies from the years 1924 to 2025, a span of 101 years. A weekly average of 9 and also median 9; about 1.3 per day. Fewest films in a week was 7, highest 15.
The median week has a range of 80 years. Smallest range in a week was 51, highest 98.

in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •After "Excision" (2012) last week, I tried two others from director Robert Bates Jr: "Suburban Gothic" (meh) and "Trash Fire" (not bad). "American Mary", like a "Promising Young Woman" (2020) but with black market surgery, was better than either.
Also have to mention, the lack of self-awareness of Peter Sellers, playing an Indian in "The Party", explaining what is offensive to India. Wow.
Eli the Bearded
in reply to Eli the Bearded • • •And....
It’s funny what I remember about films. I looked at the poster and read a teaser before starting a film this week. I watched the silent beach front photography it opens with, still with no recognition. Then hearing the first line of dialog I remembered it, plot and the twist ending. So, that's when I stopped "Dead & Buried" (1981) and watched "Meet Joe Black" instead.
I only started recording what I watch in 2023. I suspect I saw "Dead & Buried" in 2022.
