    I will definitely check it out. I need to catch up on Archive 81 and The Magnus Archives, too.

    endless love for shit tier horror movies

    Haha! I don’t know about “love”, per se. :) I usually power through for at least a one-time viewing, more like. I usually like the “better” movies, if you will, but I won’t turn my nose up at the ones that the cultural gatekeepers tend to look down on. Meaning, there is a certain kind of horror movie watcher that seems to need a permission structure to watch horror movies. If the zeitgeist says something like “Get Out” is okay, then they’ll watch it. Conversely, there are a lot of contrarians that tend to look down on PG-13 movies with jump scares aimed at teens and the popcorn crowd, and I think a lot of those are just fine in many cases.

    Me, I’m pretty easy about it all. I’m just so happy there is so much content to select from now, both in what is coming out, and being able to watch comfort food classics any time I want…also getting my hands on foreign films or “cult films” has never been easier as well…there was a time where someone would mention something to you - IRL, for the most part, or maybe in the early days on a BBS or on USENET and you’d have to see if you could track it down at a video store or see if there was some catalog you’d send away for it…and that was usually way out of reach for me, when it came to both time and money.
