I know there's been the talk of "indie sleaze" recently, but I'm thinking more generally. What's the working definition? The first thing which comes to mind when I hear the term is 70s NYC, Scorsese and Ferrara's NYC.

Obviously it isn't exclusive to New York, but that era of that particular city seems the epitome to me, even Ellroy's LA doesn't manage to feel quite as grubby as just watching Abel Ferrara eat a pizza in The Driller Killer.

I need to watch some of Larry Cohen's stuff. I stumbled across a thing of his on YouTube called The Ambulance that seems to be at the tail end of that sort of NYC.

God Told me to is the one you need to watch

that's less sleazy and more like a cry from the void

Last night I learned Larry Cohen's sister was killed in a drive-by.

Apparently the police concluded it was random, but they previously said the shots were those of a marksman and the guy who did it had been heard bragging to neighbours about being paid ten grand to do it then shot himself in the head with the same gun he used to kill her when they cornered him.

Strange.

I am now watching Carlo Vanzina’s 1985 slasher Nothing Underneath. It is very Italodisco.

I see the world's most butthurt elderly faggot is still obsessed with me, over a year after he had a public breakdown because he made a mistake in an online argument.

Might dig up his dead dad later and bum the corpse until it falls apart, using Wash's angry, impotent tears as lube.
