Last post by M.10rda - Today at 07:24:59 AMTHE DOUBLE INCARNATION OF WILLIAM SHEEP (1913):
This is a 13-minute silent from a French filmmaker who didn't make a lot of other stuff. It takes a few minutes (of watching guys playing chess) to get going but quickly gets to be a lot of fun (at least imho).
This is a doppelganger story ala "The Student of Prague" or Poe's "William Wilson", but I found it far livelier and more entertaining than the Conrad Veidt STUDENT OF PRAGUE feature... due partially at least, I'm sure, to its brevity! I'm partial to doppelgangers (as evidenced by my adoration for TWIN PEAKS and POSSESSION) and besides just being doppelganger-y, DOUBLE INCARNATION also has an evil ring, a diabolic trickster pulling strings, and of course chess - all motifs which reappear in TWIN PEAKS. (A Letterboxd reviewer mentions that DOUBLE INCARNATION also presupposes Bergman's SEVENTH SEAL.)
All of the actors give amusing performances; there's some fun/grotesque makeup (in service of human characters, not supernatural ones) and some implied sexual innuendo; and a spirit of humor generally pervades the film... in spite of the premise being inherently unsettling. I wish this director had a larger surviving library of horror flicks! 3.5/5

Last post by lester1/2jr - October 13, 2026, 09:58:08 PMMan of Faith: The Cord (2016) - I'm embarrassed to admit that I kind of liked a couple of the Pastor Steve Anderson clips I watched. He's a modern far right Baptist preacher who has gotten in some trouble for his anti gay rhetoric, among other things. I'm not anti gay at all, but I appreciated the fact that he seemed to be plugged in to what is going on and not afraid to ruffle feathers. In one thing, he talked about going to a synagogue and seeing The full Talmud. His reaction "God said all of this?"
Well, this isn't about any of that, at all. As punchy and overheated as his rhetoric is, it's pretty much par for the course for FOX News era megachurch babble. This documentary is specifically about the treatment his 12 (!) kids have suffered due to the insanely violent, demanding, and hellish home life he and his wife have created.
Anderson is a modern preacher and the director is a modern documentarian. He is seen attaching a lie detector to the four now adult kids before he interviews them. Key points that Anderson makes are dissected by other preachers. It's no surprise that Sanderson at one point taunts the director from the pulpit. Bottom line: It's pretty clear that Sanderson sadistically beat his kids. In a demented attempt to both justify and deny this, he quotes all kind of Old Testament scripture about disciplining children. The director, Paul Wittenberger is a far right conspiracy guy who's other documentaries include "Flouride: Poison on Tap".
5/5

Last post by chainsaw midget - October 13, 2026, 09:11:54 PMI have recently been exposed to a new fan theory that I buy into 100%!
Lola Bunny (the girl rabbit from Space Jam) is actually the daughter of Jessica Rabbit and Roger Rabbit.

At some point in the last month or so, that stopped.
I couldn't agree more on your assessment.
