We Are The Sprocket Holes vol. 561

 stand-out viewing for the mudlaw out show that was June.

(May


VIDEOPHOBIA (2019, dir. Daisuke Miyazaki)

monochrome capture of  non-consensual pornographic tech-core alienation. 


EDGE OF SANITY (1989, dir. Gérard Kikoïne)

simian cocaine experimentation fuses recent and distant pasts into a netherverse of lurid malice. 


APOCALYPTO (2006, dir. Mel Gibson)

really wish The Northman would've went for a vibe closer to this, but whatever. 


LOVE AND HUMAN REMAINS (1993, dir. Denys Arcand)

more of a slightly-above-intriguing time capsule curio than a great piece of film making, but Mia Kirshner could star in a snuff film of puppies getting gassed with vaporized sulfuric acid and it would still send me swooning southbound. 


INTRUDER (1989, dir. Scott Spiegel)

reaaaaaaally fucked up not calling this Grocer. shiiiit you even got the play-on-words with "Gross". still, total blast from Evil Dead personnel. 


BASKET CASE 2 (1990, dir. Frank Henenlotter) 

worth it alone for those Gabe Bartalos designs. 


BASKET CASE 3 (1991, dir. Frank Henenlotter) 

same as above. hoping that Bartalos has a MAD GOD in him. 



GARBAGE (2018, dir. Q [no not that one]) 

lurking somewhere between New French Extremity and the more vicious entries in Sion Sono's filmography. explores similar subject matter as the aforementioned Videophobia, but shifts away from arthouse ennui in favor of berserker-mode ventilation. 


  TED K (2021, dir. Tony Stone)

the perfect antidote to the dominant paradigm of narrative "true crime" dramatizations. a lot less Too Catch a Killer and a lot more Cold Light of Day. 


THE ISLANDS OF YANN GONZALEZ (2022, dir. Yann Gonzalez)

really can't wait to see what's next.

 Angry Trump threw dinner against the wall after Barr announced there was no voter fraud

Furious after Attorney General Bill Barr announced he found no evidence of widespread voter fraud to the Associated Press, Trump threw his lunch against the wall, according to Hutchinson.

Hutchinson said she saw a broken porcelain plate in the White House dining room following the Dec. 20, 2020, incident.

Trump grabbed steering wheel, lunged at aide

Former President Donald Trump, sitting in the back of his car in the motorcade, reached forward and tried to grab the steering wheel in order to move the vehicle in the direction of the Capitol, even though aides said he had to go back to the White House. He later lunged at his security chief in an apparent attempt to choke him.

Trump didn't 'care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me'

In the backstage area of Trump’s rally held on Jan. 6, Hutchinson overheard Trump tell staff that he didn’t care whether people had weapons, to let them into the rally area because “they’re not here to hurt me.”

Hutchinson said Trump was upset at the size of his rally crowd and was primarily angry that staff wasn’t letting through his supporters that were carrying weapons. 

“Let the people in, take the f–ing mags away,” Trump said, referring to magnetrometers, or metal detectors.

Cassidy Hutchinson's remarks portrayed Donald Trump as spiraling into an increasingly manic rage as he continued his last-ditch effort to seize a second term he didn’t win.


Booker Man is the Bastard vol. 17

 McMahon’s appearance was nothing more than a vulgar display of his power, his untouchable status, and his sheer delight in being so. Sure, he wanted the ovation he knew he would get, and it’s certainly worth asking what exactly were those fans cheering for? That they love Vince? He doesn’t love them, as every action and decision McMahon makes shows an utter contempt for WWE’s fans. That he got caught diddling around the office? That he was under threat? Could they even tell you? Probably not. And they’ll still cheer him if it were to come out that the NDAs and payments we’ve yet to hear about, but we know are there, for things a lot worse than consensual relationships with employees.

But really, Vince was reminding everyone that he can’t be moved, he can’t be changed, even when it’s to the disgust of his roster. It’s not like he had anything to say, or something interesting to do, which he hasn’t in years. It’s likely he doesn’t care about being removed as CEO for a time. It seemed clear initially that longtime McMahon lackey John Laurinaitis would be the fall guy here, and that’s precisely what happened. Laurinaitis is on administrative leave from his post as head of talent relations, having been replaced by another longtime McMahon lackey, Bruce Prichard. Because at the end of the day, they’re all expendable and controlling the product is what McMahon’s always cared about.

U.S.A.! U.S.A.! vol. 280

 despite all this hoo-hah about State’s Rights and the lack of need for federal protections for health care options for women, the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade comes as close to a straw-and-camel’s-back moment as we’re likely to have.

As tough as it is to stomach the execrable statistics when it comes to RAPE that shows that, at least in America, a woman is raped every ONE TO TWO MINUTES (which lets you do the math: how many women have been raped while you’ve been reading this?), the conviction rates for arrested rapists? Woefully inadequate. And tough to stomach. But the fact that now if you’re a woman AND you’ve been raped in, say, the last one to two minutes, you must carry that pregnancy to full term.

No ifs. No ands. No buts.

So, if you’re a woman while you might have suspected that men don’t give a fuck about you, along with swaths of other women who have found common cause with them usually via organized religion, you now know: they don’t. 

How much so? So much so that the Supreme Court justices who made this possible, during their confirmation hearings LIED about their willingness to make it possible. Without fear of sanction, these lifetime appointees promised that they would not come inside you and then, very clearly, came inside you. And today, to quote the benighted President Ulysses S. Grant who once was quoted as saying, “I’ve been fucked. And I can feel it,” you/we can now? Feel it.

GOREGAZE available NOW from SWEAT DRENCHED PRESS

 

A cosmic BDSM opera from the bowels of Long Island, where an ensemble of outcasts with varying degeneracies collude at the nexus of a burning multiverse with the intent to bring about "The New Normal" through meticulously curated acts of libidinal barbarism.

"If George Bataille and Henry Darger brainstormed the novelisation of a cyberpunk folk horror revival of The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the producers of Dark Side of the Ring, it might just look a bit like GOREGAZE" - Richey Walker (Creep Fever)

Books... are FUN vol. 36

 Unless you are a surgeon or are the witness to a horrible accident, you aren’t going to see the guts of the body, but if you touch the person you will feel them beating under your hand — on a hot day you might even smell them. But smell them and feel them or not, they are what is holding the body up. The unconscious and the viscera; each is a fundamental force behind the person you look at. Something comparable to that fundamental inner quality or qualities are what make a piece of writing alive or not. These inner qualities determine what the work is about as much as the plot or the theme or even the characters. Strangely, writers themselves sometimes don’t know what this inner force is in their own work because it is so entwined with our own way of seeing, we barely notice it, any more than we notice our own breath.

 The dispatcher who took the phone call was told by Evelyn Henderson that she found her husband deceased believing that he killed himself by "starting a fire and burning himself," according to court documents.

A few notes were made by the dispatcher saying "something is very off with the caller. She is hesitant to answer questions." The dispatcher continued to note that Evelyn Henderson said she heard her husband yelling around 1 a.m., but didn't call at the time.
When officers arrived, they found Carmen Henderson, Evelyn Henderson's husband, dead and burned on the back patio.
While looking at the body, officers made notes of what they believed to be fly larvae around his mouth and nostrils indicating that Carmen Henderson had been dead for awhile.

GO. OUT. SIDE. vol. 52 / U.S.A.! U.S.A.! vol. 279

 Trump, who continues to falsely claim he won the 2020 election, hosted a screening of the movie at his Florida estate that was attended by former mayor Rudy Giuliani, Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, MYPillow CEO Mike Lindell and teen gunman Kyle Rittenhouse. The 45th president has complained in May that not even Fox News is supporting the assertions made in “2000 Mules.”

In addition to lashing out against Barr on Twitter, D’Souza posted links to a podcast in which he interviewed “Growing Pains” actor Kirk Cameron to promote a film the 51-year-old former sitcom star made about the merits of home schooling. Cameron supported Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

U.S.A.! U.S.A.! vol. 278

 Which the rest of the world has now gotten a taste of in light and in view of the continuing Trump theatrics around…well, just about everything but specifically now his negotiations this past week around The Big Lie that the election was stolen from him, as well as the entirety of everything else he’s ever done. Bleeding over into everything now, including crucial elements of our public discourse on the entire media-focused world from Depp v Heard to the Washington Post dust up, we are now mired in the mix of a zeitgeist permanently enshrined under the words, PROVE IT.

However, the only way to win this game is to not play, especially since every other way has you losing. Sucked into a tar baby-esque entanglement of “what ifs” and “says who’s?” that will undercut your undercutting even as it undercuts the very mainstays of whatever consensus reality you happen to be participating in. And Trump, in particular, will do this until he dies.

Our job is not necessarily about figuring out who is breaking the windows at this point. Our job is to figure out how to stop the breaking of windows. However, breaking windows is as American as apple pie. Try telling someone that the country itself was stolen from the people who lived here before Europeans showed up and see what happens.

In fact try to advance any grievance at all if you’re not part of the dominant paradigm, and you’ll be met with a counter grievance, a flood of what-about-me’ism that’s as ironclad as the promise that, inevitably, the good will get vanquished, the bad will prosper and the evil will remain unpunished. So the Washington Post’s Felicia Sonmez grills a coworker for retweeting a shitty tweet and gets canned for not keeping the party polite? Surprising? Not in the slightest.

And then Depp v. Heard. The “wounded” cancel warriors. The woke anti-woke folks. All with axes to grind that are grinding against the prospect of having to stand in the grievance line because in the end, even if Depp “wins”, Louis CK walks off with a Grammy, and Joe Rogan is making more money than G-d, them voicing the take of the aggrieved amongst the aggrieved is OK, just as long as they can go first.

#gorenoise vol. 152

 A 39-year-old worker died after falling into a molten iron vat of 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit molten – leaving half of his body lying on the floor.

Dierkes “was taking a sample of iron for the met lab and apparently just tripped.”

The unidentified worker explained: “He died instantly, but not all of him went in. Part of his body remained on the deck for the coroner to retrieve.

“It must have been ghastly for those folks that witnessed it and to wait for the coroner with half of their coworker lying on the floor.”
