Off Topic Discussion / Instaweird
Last post by Trevor - July 14, 2026, 05:47:06 PMSomething odd is happening on Instagram.
If I post something or respond to a post and it gets a huge amount of views and / likes, I usually get one reply from some rando with very few posts, pics or followers.
The reply is usually dismissive in nature and I was wondering if these are bot accounts or what? 🤔🐢

Last post by FatFreddysCat - July 14, 2026, 05:20:02 PM"Come On Feel The Noize: The Story of How Rock Became Metal" (2017)
Sub-par music documentary that attempts to establish the influence that '70s glam and punk rock movements had on metal in the 80s, but it's very disjointed and doesn't seem to follow much of a narrative. The first half is a collection of presumably cheap-to-license clips of Slade, the Sweet, and Alice Cooper from Germany's "Beat Club" and "Musikladen" TV shows, then it turns on a dime into random discussions with members of Ghost, Life of Agony, Sabaton, and Disturbed. This is totally surface level stuff, aimed at casual viewers who know nothing about metal. Don't waste your time with this one.

Last post by lester1/2jr - July 14, 2026, 04:21:37 PMEl Fantasma Del Convento (1934) - This was like the first Mexican horror movie or something. It has a much smaller budget than contemporaneous American films like Dracula, but a good Twilight Zone ish story where morality and the supernatural collide. 3 people stumble upon an old monastery and stay the night. They learn that there's a room where the door is nailed shut because of something horrible that happened in there and they try to discover the mystery.
The print I watched had that new kind of crappiness where the digital image is clear enough, but the people are moving around choppily. I can't stand that, but I really wanted to see the film. Hopefully a better version is available, maybe from Prime or something.
4.25/ 5 It was a good idea for a movie considering the limited budget they had.
This is the forbidden room.

Last post by Dr. Whom - July 14, 2026, 02:17:17 PMQuite, and I must say reading the summary of the book explained a lot about the movie.
This is actually one of the more successful aspects of the movie, which relies heavily on visual storytelling and implied information. The costuming clearly sets the story long before our contemporary world, while the dress code remains legible: you can tell which ones are the farmers, which ones are the city folk and so on.
This movie is sometimes classed as folk horror, which is absolute nonsense. There is some violence yes, and blood is shed, but there are no horror elements whatsoever.
