Most recently I saw Air Doll (空気人形) (2009) again, ...

Hmmmmm, are you trying to say Band-Maid are Air Dolls?

House (1977): Watched this with some friends online earlier. You can definitely tell the people who did this were on some hallucinogenics. I thought it was more funny than scary, but I would actually watch it again! (Maybe while high... )

^ I love Hausu! It's such an insane hodgepodge. Director Ōbayashi got a lot of the ideas for the film from his 10-year-old daughter.

I bought the t-shirt from the Criterion website, and one of my co-workers has a House hoodie.

Fun fact: Ōbayashi also directed AKB48's 64-minute "So long !" music video.

Yesterday I went to a program of "Surrealism in Animation" in 16mm at the Roxie Cinema in San Francisco:

Fantasmagorie (Émile Cohl, 1908)
Koko the Clown in KoKo the Kop (Dave Fleischer, 1927)
Bimbo in Swing You Sinners! (Dave Fleischer, 1930)
It’s a Bird (Harold L. Muller, 1930)
Porky Pig in Porky in Egypt (Robert Clampett, 1938)
The Horse on the Merry-Go-Round (Ub Iwerks, 1938)
Popeye the Sailor in Wotta Nitemare (Dave Fleischer, 1939)
Tin Pan Alley Cats (Robert Clampett, 1943)
King-Size Canary (Tex Avery, 1947)
The Tell-Tale Heart (Ted Parmelee, 1953)
Daffy Duck in Duck Amuck (Charles M. Jones, 1953)
Broken Down Film (Tezuka Osamu, 1985)

Most of these were unfamiliar to me. The last two are the only ones that I'm certain I'd seen before. Even though there were three Fleischer Brothers films in the program, I was surprised that they didn't have any with Betty Boop (Crazy Town, for example).

I recently watched Kick Ass 2 (the movie ) on cable. Lots of ass kicking going on. My question is who pays for all the property damage and mayhem and funerals that went on.

The love interest was similar to that of the movie Andromedia which had ass kicking going on too. The ending of both movies had similar themes also.

Finally got around to watching my Blu-ray of Booksmart (2019). I had seen the movie in the theater when it was new, but I'd forgotten a lot of it. Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever play two overachievers who are on a mission to party and go crazy on the last night before their high school graduation. A lot of IMDb reviewers hated it and didn't find it funny at all, but I think it's hilarious. Billie Lourd (Carrie Fisher's daughter!) is absolutely hysterical as Gigi.

I love that movie.

This evening I went to the New Parkway in Oakland for a Max Fleischer Animation Celebration. The selected shorts kept with a horror/Halloween theme and were dominated by Betty Boop and Bimbo:

Betty Boop’s Hallowe’en Party (1933)
Shiver Me Timbers! (1934)
Red Hot Mamma (1934)
Bimbo’s Initiation (1931)
Mysterious Mose (1930)
Swing You Sinners! (1930)
Betty Boop’s Museum (1932)
KoKo’s Earth Control (1928)
Minnie the Moocher (1932)
The Cobweb Hotel (1936)
Snow-White (1933)

I had seen most of these before, but KoKo's Earth Control, one that I hadn't, totally blew me away.
