Movie Thread

I value Carpenter as a composer more than a filmmaker,

A cherished night of my life was seeing Carpenter perform his music live on tour circa, maybe 8 or 9 years ago. About half of the show were themes from his movies and the other half was stuff from his new album of instrumentals that sound like they SHOULD be the themes of movies. The cool thing about the show was that, to my memory, everything was played live. Nothing came out of a laptop. It was all keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums. It sounded amazing and Carpenter himself was having a great time.

I rewatched Tokyo Gore Police for the first time in over a decade. It’s basically a Paul Verhoeven film by way of Japanese splatter film, right down to the satire and fake ads and a scene straight from Starship Troopers. It’s like Suda51 binged Robocop and decided to make a movie instead of a game.
