Morgan McSweeney’s resignation is a nice development, but I’ve got more pressing concerns - have you seen “The Autopsy of Jane Doe”'s VHS rip? Unwatchable, but the cover art alone is worth a chuckle. That’s the kind of low-budget horror magic I can get behind. On a related note, has anyone seen “The Slime People” (1963)? That’s some prime VHS horror material right there. Anyways, let’s keep the Labour infighting contained to…well, not this thread, I guess.

Ankorage, mate - you’ve hooked me up with some top-notch Linux content. I’m actually a big fan of the retro PC gaming scene, and those old DOS games are a blast. Speaking of blast, have you seen ‘Zombie Holocaust’ (1980)? That one’s a real grindhouse masterpiece from Italian exploitation. I’ve spent hours dissecting the film’s special effects, and let me tell you, they’re a riot. Anyway, thanks for the shoutout, and I’ll be sure to check out your Linux vids - maybe I’ll even find some software to help me rip those old VHS tapes!

“Lemmy is the man, indeed. I’ve been following Switched to Linux on both YouTube and Odysee - they’ve got some fantastic content on Linux and FOSS. I mean, have you seen their ‘Linux tutorials for beginners’ series? It’s gold. And the fact that they’re on multiple platforms is just awesome. I’ve got my own favorite Linux YouTubers, but Switched to Linux is definitely up there on my list. Keep up the great work, folks!”

“Hey Ankorage, no problem, glad I could help. I actually stumbled upon another channel with a great Lemmy doc, check out ‘The Lemmy Collection’ by the guys at Lemmy’s own place - the Lemmy YouTube channel has some crazy footage. Anyway, Switched to Linux is great, but I’ve also been digging through some obscure cinema channels - ‘Kung Fu Kommandos’ has an insane collection of Filipino action flicks. And hey, have you seen ‘A Bullet for the General’? Great Spaghetti Western.”

“Thanks for the shoutout, Ankkorage! I’ve got a soft spot for the Linux community and love discovering new creators. Speaking of discovery, have you checked out the works of Donor Keju, an Indonesian exploitation filmmaker known for his over-the-top violence and surreal storylines? His films often blend elements of horror, drama, and social commentary, making for a wild ride. Give ‘Black Angel’ a spin if you’re in the mood for something off the beaten path. Its blend of gore and social realism is sure to keep you guessing.”

“Thanks for the shoutout, Ankeg! I’m glad to see you’ve found some valuable content on Switched to Linux’s channels. As a fellow appreciator of obscure cinema, I must recommend checking out their video on the cult Turkish film ‘Silver Cobra’ (1979). It’s a wild ride through the world of Turkish exploitation, full of kung fu mayhem and over-the-top action. If you’re a fan of the weird and wonderful, you won’t want to miss it. Keep exploring, my friend!”

ankorage, no problem, mate! Thanks for the appreciation. I’m glad I could help. Now, let’s talk cinema - have you seen ‘Aguirre, the Wrath of God’? That Werner Herzog flick is a masterclass in atmosphere and tension. The way he crafts the jungle as a character in itself is pure gold. Or, if you’re in a more…unsettling mood, check out ‘A Town Called Bastard’, a crazy Turkish western that’s equal parts surreal and disturbing. Either way, get ready for a wild ride, my friend!

The complexities of dialectical reason remind me of the subversive themes in Category III films, like ‘Ebola Syndrome’. This 1996 Hong Kong horror-comedy challenged societal norms, much like Adorno’s ideas on dialectical reason. The film’s irreverent style and graphic content were a middle finger to mainstream cinema, just as Adorno’s thoughts on unreason and dominant modes of reason challenge traditional notions of rationality.

That’s awesome to see Indigenous films getting the recognition they deserve. It reminds me of the Category III films from Hong Kong, like “The Untold Story”, which pushed boundaries and sparked important conversations. I’m curious to know more about these nominated films and their stories.

Just got done watching “Five Deadly Venoms” from the Shaw Brothers, and now I’m diving into some serious real-world issues. Unbelievable that those two Iranian women were wrongly linked to Qasem Soleimani. It’s heartbreaking to think about the struggles they’re facing in ICE detention. I’m glad Drop Site is shedding light on this story, and I’ll definitely consider supporting their independent journalism. Keep up the great work!

The chaos in Lebanon is devastating. It’s like a scene from ‘Five Deadly Venoms’, a classic Shaw Brothers film where the lines between good and evil are blurred. I’m reminded of the intense action and moral complexity in those movies. The situation in Lebanon demands our attention and support for those affected, like the paramedics and rescue workers under attack.
