Schlock Horror

7 hours later… Tattoo is done!

Watches #390, #391, #392 and #393 of 2026: Four more 1896 shorts films: Pelicans, Suspension Bridge, Princess Maud's Wedding Procession, and lastly Procession of the Royal Sceptre. To be honest, not a single one of these shorts did anything for me. Not great.

Watches #388 and #389 of 2026: It’s two short films from 1896 that features young children. The Twins Tea Party and Children’s Ball. TTTP being the more likeable and enjoyable of the two short films. Still, not great by any means.

Definitely DDL in There Will Be Blood.

Watches #384, #385, #386 and #387 of 2026: The four short films of Aurélio da Paz dos Reis (All released in 1896): Workers Exit from the Confiança Shirt Factory, No Jardim, O Vira and Feira de Gado na Corujeira. The best being No Jardim. The rest didn’t impress me.

Watches #380, #381, #382 and #383 of 2026: Four more 1896 short films with Loading a Boiler, Two AM; or, The Husband Return, Arrival of a Train at Perrache, and Departure of Cyclists. 2AM being the best of the four shorts.

Watches #377, #378 and #379 of 2026: Three more short films from 1896: We have Poultry-Yard, The Panorama de l’arrivée à Aix-les-Bains pris du train (temps de neige), and Interrupted Lovers. The first two mentioned I rated the other, not so much.

Watches #373, #374, #375 and #376 of 2026: Four short films from Cyriak: We have Baaa (2011), Cows & Cows & Cows (2010), Queenie (2005) and Queen Elizabeth II - 60 Years in 6 Seconds (2012). I couldn’t get into his animation style or choice in music chosen for the short films.

Watch #372 of 2026: The Web (2013) is a short film by Nathan Fielder. I wanted to see if I would gel with his weird and twisted comedy. My friends all loved his TV shows, but The Web wasn’t very good and I didn’t find it all that smart or funny for that matter.

Watches #368, #369, #370 and #371 of 2026: Four animated shorts from Webster Colcord. Mad Doctors of Borneo, Slaughter Day and Backyard Barbeque all from ‘93. Bladder Trouble ‘91. I liked all three shorts from ‘93. So, check out his work.

Watch #367 of 2026: Transrexia (1993) is a weird stop-motion short film about a T-Rex and Pterodactyl’s turbulent on and off again relationship. It’s weird and bonkers. But I’d have preferred it be about a transgender anorexic T-Rex myself.

Watches #364, #365 and #366 of 2026: Three Christmas Horror Short Films with All Wrapped Up (2008), X-Mess Detritus (2008) and Cookies For Candy Claws (2018). XMASD being the best of a rather unimpressive bunch of short films.

Watches #361, #362 and #363 of 2026: Three more queer short films with Not Funny! (2014), Quédate Callado (2018) and BSXL (2019). The best of the bunch was Quédate Callado a sweet story of friendship turned love.

Watch #360 of 2026: Wandering Soul (2016) is a harrowing and scary short film about the Vietnam War. Dealing with the US true psychological torture method. Supernatural but deeply roots itself in real war crime for authenticity. It’s worth a watch!

Watch #358 and #359 of 2026: Two more gay short films:m with Grace & Goodwill (2020) and Car Park Blues (2017). Both left me indifferent, but CPB has a really nice final moment dealing with longing and regret. It almost won me over in the end.

Watch #357 of 2026: The Stringer: The Man Who Took The Photo (2025) was not the critically acclaimed Netflix war documentary I was lead to believe. I’m sorry but the ending reenactment put out as fact was fucking stupid. I could not get onboard with this one.

Watches #354, #355, and #356 of 2026: Three LGBT short films Grown Up Man! (2017), You’re A Good Man (2017) and Grown This Way (2014). Animated, Stop-Motion and a clever twist on the black & white French crime film. All worth a watch!

Watches #351, #352 and #353 of 2026: Three short films about Marriage: Married Life (2024), Piece of Cake (2022) and Wedding Cake (2013). The first two are passable. Wedding Cake may be one of the darkest animated shorts I’ve seen quite some time.

Watch #350 of 2026: My Mother’s Wedding (2023): Scarlett Johansson’s English accent overshadows her acting and not in a good way. Bland and insipid where only Sienna Miller comes out the only one unscathed in her scene stealing turn.

Watches #345, #346, #347, #348 and #349 of 2026: Five 1896 short films about Dance: Butterfly Dance, N*gro Street Dancers, Serpentine Dance by Annabelle, Andalusian Dance and Fatima's Coochee-Coochee Dance. Some interesting visuals, others racist.
