My grandparents had a World Book Encyclopedia set. I started reading it around 8 or 9. That told me all I needed to know. (this was before the wwweb).

That's the nice thing about "dark" music... you can make videos by going out into the woods at night and experimenting!

I like this song because it quotes from the classic "Conscience of a Hacker" from 1986 (!) That's kind of cringe now... in fact it was kind of cringe even when I came across it a decade or two later but... I like where it's coming from, you know?

Nice, I listened to this while I was browsing, and the whole album started melding with my thoughts.

I found this video of how she works which is kind of interesting too.

Watch it, and suddenly dozens of memes will make sense.

 

Usually I only post these announcements on [email protected], but Krull... well it's not a GREAT movie, but it's not quite a B movie either. It had a video game tie-in, a respectable budget, and it was aimed at being a hit. It's more like a first-run movie that didn't quite come off. But it has nostalgia value! And parts of it are pretty good!

Anyway, if you want to watch it this Sunday with a pack of fediverse wits and wisealecks, read on...

Krull (1983) is the movie for this Sunday's "monsterdon" watch party over on Mastodon, our fediverse sibling!

  • Just start watching that movie this Sunday, April 13, 2025 at 9pm ET / 8pm CT / 6pm PT which is 1am Monday UTC
  • and follow #monsterdon over on mastodon for live commentary. For example, you can follow that hashtag here: https://mastodon.social/tags/monsterdon
  • I usually open two web browser windows on a computer side-by-side. But you could follow the mastodon commentary on a phone app while watching the movie on TV or something.

How to watch the movie:

Krull is a 1983 British[1] science fantasy adventure film[2] ... The story follows Prince Colwyn (Marshall) and a fellowship of companions who set out to rescue his bride, Princess Lyssa (Anthony), from a fortress of alien invaders who have arrived on their home planet.

...

The film was a box-office bomb upon release, and critical opinion has been mixed, both upon release and in retrospect. Numerous reviewers have highlighted its visual effects and soundtrack, while several critics have criticized its plot as being derivative and nonsensical. In the years since its release, the film has developed a cult following.

We discussed this movie here on B Movie Bonanza a year and a half ago!

This started mid-Thursday and will be going on until early Monday. Basically, a series of DJs spinning "Alternative and Darks Scene genres i,e, Goth, Industrial, Synthpop, New Wave, New Romantic, NDW, Postpunk, Darkwave, Indie Electropop and Dance Rock, Cyberpunk, Deathrock, Brit Pop, Italo, Synthwave, Shoegaze, Dark 80s, Electroclash, Metal, Grunge, Punk, Ska, Underground HipHop, etc." You'll hear and see occasional suggestions to donate money to the ACLU, but otherwise it's a chance to check out a series of DJs doing (mostly) hour-long sets.

Looks like a really interesting story.

Set in the rugged landscape of 1790s Britain, Tornado, a young and determined Japanese woman, finds herself caught in a perilous situation when she and her father’s traveling puppet samurai show crosses paths with a gang of ruthless criminals led by Sugarman and his ambitious son Little Sugar. In an attempt to create a new life for herself, Tornado seizes the opportunity to take matters into her own hands and steal the gold from their most recent heist.

Since this community now welcomes non-music posts on things goth/industrial/etc, I thought it'd be fun to cross-post some articles from elsewhere around Lemmy.

Here's an article I came across a while back that I've referred to a couple times. It was posted a couple years ago on [email protected], and is titled "Do ‘elder Goths’ hold the secret to aging successfully?"

As [anthropology researcher Leah] Bush and her Goth studies colleagues explain it, so-called elder Goths — who came of age with the music decades ago — possess a kind of road map through life that doesn’t exist for fans of more youth-obsessed musical genres.

For starters, there is the subculture’s deep reverence for the antique. “In the music, the focus isn’t about youth,” Bush tells me. “It’s about more universal themes. Lyrically, it casts a wider net than most pop music. For some reason a Cure lyric keeps popping into my head, the opener to the Cure’s ‘Pornography’ album: ‘It doesn’t matter if we all die.’ ”

Honestly, I've always loved that you see people from different generations showing up to the club and doing their own things. Not Old Guy Coming To Hit On Women Half His Age--people coming to see their own friends, with their own stuff going on. Seems good for everybody.

I was explaining to my mom once about a monthly benefit night and a separate monthly craft bazaar and she started cracking up, saying it was like a church. My suspicion is that healthy community centers of any community develop similar appendages.
