Hmm. I pay for letterboxd pro because I like stats and watch a ton of movies. I pay a yearly fee to porkbun for my domain name. I pay Kagi for search because it's so much better than the free alternatives. I pay a couple usenet providers, and a few sponsorships on github, but that's about it.

Because we refuse to tax rich people

And if you DON'T have a steam deck but have a decent smartphone, a razer kishi or similar provides a great comparable budget setup. I use moonlight and a Kishi 2 with my Pixel 6 and it's a great couch/bed experience over wifi.

When a government musters up the guts to do their job and regulate corporations

This is what Canada's all about. We're just 3 corporations in a trench coat, pretending to be a country.

Honestly, my phone does a great job playing most retro games, and for a controller I have a razor Kishi 2 and it's perfect for that application

I think there's only a small handful of leftists in American politics at all, and that their propaganda apparatus would be small, if it exists at all. Maybe centrist, neoliberal propaganda, but leftist? Where?

Oh nooooo a show might have female protagonists instead of being a straight adaptation of a movie that already exists

Reanimator is a lot of fun (though I personally prefer From Beyond if we're gonna talk Stuart Gordon stuff).

Italian horror is my personal favorite, but don't go in expecting things to make sense. They tend to operate on dream logic.

Anything Cronenberg did in that era.. Scanners, Videodrome, The Fly, (though my personal faves are his 90s/00s output). Anything Argento did in the 80s (Inferno, Phenomena, Opera), etc. Speaking of Italians, my boy Lucio Fulci made some great ones in that decade too, notably The Beyond, The House By The Cemetery, and The Black Cat. Carpenter's 80s stuff should go without saying (The Fog, Prince of Darkness, They Live, The Thing). Craven's Nightmare on Elm Street is pretty perfect too.

Maybe I'd vote for Andrej Zulawski's Possession, which is fucking nuts. Or a personal deep-cut fave like Night of the Comet. Does Blue Velvet count as horror? Does Ken Russell's Gothic?

I'm a huge fan of aonsoku but it's been 6 months since there's been an update and I'm worried it's abandoned. Hope not!
