Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls
Ladies, Gentlemen and Lurkers, tonight is a blind viewing! That’s right, I will be watching this for the first time right along side all of you. This is exciting! Will this be good, or will the pitchforks and torches come out?
What I know: This is a film by fabled production/promotion company Bloody Disgusting, it is a completely independent film written, starring and directed by Andrew Bowser, a guy who has done mostly shorts and TV up to this point, and it has a stunning 6.2/10 on IMDB, which puts it in the top tier of what I normally show. It is also from 2023, which makes it one of the newest films I have posted.
So what is it about?
Fledgling occultist Onyx and a group of worshipers attend a once-in-a-lifetime ritual at their idol BARTOK THE GREAT’S mansion.
That’s it? Well, I guess that is all we get. I can say this was a Kickstarter funded project, and that Onyx is a recurring character that Andrew has brought up throughout other short films. I wish Andrew the best, and I hope we get to see more from him and other independents in the future!
So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! Next week, this theater of the absurd continues with Black Roses, a 1980s Heavy Metal Panic film!
On a personal note, My apologies for the brevity of reviews this past few weeks. Moving, endless furniture construction and box emptying is taking every spare moment. Things should return to normal by end of April.
“My apologies for the brevity of reviews this past few weeks.”
No need to apologize.
No. Apologize harder. Harder. No! Don’t stop…
…these posts of exceptional merit. Deepest thanks to your steadfast devotion.
I’ve been watching for the last ten minutes. So far the main character seems rather annoying.
Yep. Agreed.
Out of town so I’ll have to miss this one but I look forward to the reviews here.
Sorry I am late! I was busy making vodka martinis.
“My name is J., R.J.”
The house is pretty much complete, guest room done. I just did my mini bar.

Your guests get a mini-bar?
Party at RJ’s!
Yes. There is a full formal guest room as well.

Neat. Is that from the 70’s?
It’s a trap!
He’ll lure you in and then this happens:

Very nice, R.J. Enjoy your new home.
I guess you also checked your 401k balance today. I’m not sure when the Fuck Trump chants will begin at NASCAR races, but it won’t be long if this keeps up.
Patience. JFC.
Still ahead. But today was brutal.
I have no money so nothing on Wall Street affected me. (Directly.)
I’d reckon that describes 80+% of Americans.
All my money is in gold or vape rays, which aren’t on earth yet. Those things sell like hot cakes elsewhere. Zap!
Evan, that’s what 95 percent of people thought in Oct. 1929.
@creech: Yes, but I’d still be broke, and in the same position. (Loving family alone keeping me out of the gutter.)
You’re helping my point.
Have you asked your family if today’s market meltdown affects them?
Oh, I can’t wait to watch this one.
*stares at clock with malign intent*
Anyone know whether the drivers/ISP Programmer for the Artery microcontrollers have any chinese spyware in them?
I want to mod my GoTEK with FlashFloppy but a requirement is using the software from the chinese manufacturer of the chip to actually do the flashing.
I don’t trust chinese software. Another reason I want to replace the base firmware (aside from the lack of functionality)
How I imagine you shop for groceries:

You could always go the PBS Woodwright’s Shop route and start by making your own hammer from scratch.
I would but I didn’t have the spare vacation time.
I have a second recommendation.
Slave girls from beyond infinity.
😇😛🤪
? My bedroom is not beyond infinity. It’s precisely as much infinity as you’d expect.
The spice of slavish lasses, however, isn’t indefinite. (My orphans clock in and out – especially for lunch – and their two fifteens are carefully tracked with cause. (Ya gotta keep track of the ‘disgruntled’ berefts, fore they go to the curmudgeonly courts. Nothing goes on and on like the appellates.))
I will add it. It’s out there on Tubi, I think. Maybe already in my pile of 536 saves.
This morning we visited the Neurologist. It’s been three and a half years waiting. Yes, there was poking and prodding involved. Literally. I should have seen this fellow 14 years ago. A warning to Americans – do not let them offer you “free” healthcare.
TANSTAAFL
It is a teaching Hospital so I got to answer the question “When was the last time you had an erection?” right in front of an attractive, fecund intern. I wanted to die.
Please tell us you gently put her hand on your crotch and said “right now.”
I’m a bright person but that would have beyond my ken. Well said!
It seems Canada is just a really big version of Cleveland. Or maybe Detroit. Makes sense. No wonder Kucinich likes the place.

I don’t feel Canadian no more and one branch of my family has been here for thousands of years, all of the rest for hundreds. Laurentians fucked us and handed the nation over to the WEF.
I’m seeing my new neurologist in a couple weeks. I didn’t like my old one, with hardly the 15min per visit, but that wasn’t (solely) why a new one was sought.
I wish you the best of luck.
This should be fun to watch.

You know what never crashes? What is market proof? The value of a First.
Maybe it will become a reserve currency.
Tee hee, I got them fired!

The director and No. 2 official at the National Security Agency were both ousted from their positions Thursday, according to a defense official and three sources with knowledge of the matter.
It was not immediately clear why Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh and his deputy were dismissed, the sources said.

Hey, speaking of which: https://tubitv.com/movies/678775/heavy-metal
Mornin’.
Work begins now in Noblesville. Per usual, I’m excited for the day to go by quickly. It does tend to.
Happy Friday, get down with the Glibness!
🥳🤟⛈️

Good morning, Sean, U, and EfE!
How goes?
OK. Still haven’t made up for my lack of sleep Wednesday night, but my boss is off today, so I hope that means a quiet day at work. How about you?
I woke up with my alarm, the store was open when I got there, and I arrived at the parking lot at 6:26. The office is currently dead quiet, and I even have a proper breakfast salad with egg, ham, and peppers.
😃👍
Does your boss yell a lot?
No, he doesn’t yell. He can just be a little…high maintenance.
that song sucks
Compared to my music links, everything else sucks.

3 family members at once? Yikes.
Clearly, Trump’s fault.
Not quite a stomping, I suppose.

The train was fine.

I hate when that happens.
The URL was funnier than the actual article headline.
I’ve mistakenly sent innocuous pics to the wrong contact but never a vid of me jerking off. Lesson learned I suppose.
“Matt Taibbi Files $10 Million Libel Suit Against Dem Rep. For Accusing Him Of ‘Serial Sexual Harassment’”

Kaching! Sheltered for speech during a congressional proceeding but stupid enough to post on social media. Sue like the wind my friend.
I hope the congressional harrassment slush fund payment record gets released in Discovery.
“Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful”.
I’m buying.
Morning.
Sell high and buy low.
Short the company then drone strike their overseas production facilities.
Damnit, I had that mixed up. No wonder I’m broke.
Mandatory, and scheduled, 15min ‘breaks’ are a misnomer. And you HAVE to have it before lunch or ya lose it. Ditto for the afternoon break. The Factory must produce.
Lunch in 1.5hrs. When I get off the Cubs game’ll be in the third, or so. (Don’t any of you work?)
I’m at work, what are you talking about?
Ain’t it amazing that the networks never mention that the tariffs are mostly reciprocal? Not one. single. word.
Mrs. MYB and I have just about given up on the TV news due to the bias.
Yeah, I had no idea that we’ve been heavily tariffed by the rest of the world all this time.
It should be interesting to listen to the sqeals of indignation from abroad.
Mornin’ all!
Morning!
Overall this movie did not being out pitchforks, nor peals of laughter. I think the overall score was “meh.”
I see that my article posted yesterday.
I missed it, because I was doing other things.
Oh, well.
*shameless advertisement*
My next project may be either something about Dungeons and Dragons, or post office etiquette.
The post office is still a thing?
Well hold on to the letter end.
