GothWatch Prime: Lydia Deetz

Posted on 31/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

On the off-chance anyone was looking for recommendations, I’d have to say that Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice (1988) is pretty much the perfect Halloween movie… macabre, creepy, bawdy, colourful, silly, sweet, sharp, laugh-out-loud funny, and wholly unique. It’s also the movie … Continue reading →

Quasi-Goth/PunkWatch: Madeline Blue (Again)

Posted on 03/08/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

I’m only halfway through FX’s Wet Hot American Summer prequel series, First Day of Camp, but I just wanted to stop and give a shout-out to Madeline Blue… aka “Cure Girl” from the original movie. Although all the adult cast … Continue reading →

A Kind Of Crazy 2: Killer Catnip

Posted on 08/07/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains disturbing dog-food suppliers and SPOILERS!!!] Inevitably, as soon as I’d finished watching Wonderfalls I started jonesing for more Hannibal, and began binge-watching the second season (2014)… which was just as implausible and plot-holed as the first season, but also … Continue reading →

“Are We Supposed To Be Able To Understand Her?”

Posted on 13/06/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains stomped/stolen mobile-phones and SPOILERS!!] After the recent resurrection of my crush on Lauren Socha, I discovered the Misfits (S1-3) boxset on sale for a fiver, and snapped it up. I can now happily report that the first series is … Continue reading →

Quasi-GothWatch: Vanden

Posted on 02/12/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

I don’t think there are many movie-buffs who’d disagree that American Psycho (2000) is far superior to its cash-in sequel… in part because the latter was a generic “killing to get ahead” story of ruthless ambition, while the former is … Continue reading →

Quasi-GothWatch: Kim Kardashian

Posted on 01/11/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

I don’t usually pay much attention to Kim Kardashian… I mean, I often see photos of her posted on magazine covers and the like, but I don’t have any particularly strong feelings about her one way or the other… but … Continue reading →

“Kneel Before Helga!!!”

Posted on 08/10/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains unhelpful hummus and SPOILERS!!] The second season of Liv and Maddie kicked off a couple weeks back with a reliably rib-tickling (and sniffle-inducing) opener… and this week it delivered a suitably spooky (if slightly early) Halloween-themed episode. Hurrah! In a classic Twilight Zone-style … Continue reading →

Quasi-GothWatch: Sammi (TMoL)

Posted on 05/10/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

There’s going to be a lot of good shows returning over the next few weeks, so hopefully I’ll be able to ween myself off hate-watching The Mysteries of Laura… but for now, I’m still enjoying the way it makes my … Continue reading →

GothWatch: Lydia Deets (with an “S”)

Posted on 19/09/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

I was idly flicking through the TV channels t’other night when I landed on Runaway Jury (2003), and was lured in by the opening scenes, expecting it to be a smart courtroom drama about a landmark anti-gun case, with lots … Continue reading →

Czech Yourself

Posted on 13/08/2014 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains funeral pyres, totem-poles, and SPOILERS!!!] The DVD cover for the UK release of The Pagan Queen (2009) is rather misleading, with a pull quote comparing it to Lord of the Rings, and a (heavily manipulated) image of the two … Continue reading →
