I need to make a new user guide with screenshots for anyone who wants to come check out Cinema dei Apocryphilia for #Scarefest, #Schlockfest, etc., because Discord can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but what it boils down to for joining a #WatchParty is:
1. Sign up at the link
2. Click on the server icon on the far left column
3. Click "join event" (once event starts)
4. Click "watch stream"
5. Chat in the "Live movie chat" section or right click on it and "mute channel" to stop notifications

I don’t want to say too much about tonight’s third feature, WALKER (1987) because it’s Cox’s overlooked (third) masterpiece, and surprising in the best possible way for those who haven’t heard of it. Starring Ed Harris in perhaps his most intense role ever, and written by Randy Wurlitzer (Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid) it was directed by Cox to be a pitch-dark social commentary on imperialism and it effectively ended his Hollywood career.

Ran out of characters in my last post; here’s a link to the trailer for SID AND NANCY: https://youtu.be/hZp3meyWVm0

SID AND NANCY (1986) is writer-director Alex Cox’s defining film as an artist, and Gary Oldman’s performance here garnered him much praise, essentially putting him “on the map” in Hollywood. While both REPO MAN and SID AND NANCY exemplify the “punk ethos,” they do it in almost diametrically opposite ways. The first is a playfully far-out fiction that beats with the heart of the 80’s US West Coast scene, the second a carefully-observed document of one of the most damaged relationships in UK punk.

You probably already know REPO MAN (1984). “Repo Man is always intense.” Ostensibly a madcap sci-fi adventure starring Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton, this is one of the punkest movies ever made, with a soundtrack featuring Iggy Pop, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, The Plugz, and The Circle Jerks, who also have a hilarious cameo (Zander Schloss also joined the band after appearing in this film with them).

Tonight I'm hosting three movies by director Alex Cox on my Discord server. Normally it'd be called #Scarefest, but I think we'll pivot to calling it #Schlockfest tonight, (although the only really schlocky one of the three is REPO MAN).

All times are US CST:

-REPO MAN (1984) 8:00
-SID AND NANCY (1986) ~9:30
-WALKER (1987) ~11:30

Funny, one of the only times I let my guard down and talk straight, it doesn’t seem like the post showed up in the feed. 😬

Might be a sign? 😂

Hi CoSoNauts. I don’t like to talk about myself in public messages, but I just want to point out that I will be Pro again once I have met some challenges and am on better footing. I don’t want anyone to see that I’ve dropped my Pro tag and think it is a response to new users, recent technical difficulties, etc. I remain fully confident and appreciate of the community and of J. Much love and respect, ‘Nauts.
