I ran across Haxan in my timeline on a social media platform that hasn't paid me to mention them, showing off a demon action figure that looks like it was torn from the pages of a dusty old folklore tome with yellowed pages and 100 other allergens. I dropped an email expressing my appreciation for their work and they very quickly sent over the info and images I'll share with you now. SO..if you like what you see, remember Haxan House and support any way you can, whether with a signal boost or your hard-earned cash when the time comes. Hopefully both!
At the VIZ Media panel, thrilling news was unveiled that “Rooster Fighter,” everyone’s favorite cock created by Shu Sakuratani, is now in production for an anime adaptation. The story follows Keiji, a rooster with superhuman strength, as he defends the world from giant monsters known as “Demons.” With its high-octane action and comedic scenes, “Rooster Fighter” is one mother-clucker who delivers a showstopper.

Coppola says of the new restoration: "As you will notice, I have never offered a new version of THE CONVERSATION, which is a film I have always been proud of, I've never felt the need to improve. It also features my wonderful collaboration with its editor (along with Richard Chew) and sound designer, Walter Murch, which reinforces my belief that cinema is a collaborative effort. I am gratified to have made a film that has lived for 50 years."

‘Longlegs’ is not a bad movie by any measure. It’s beautifully filmed. Every shot seems to have been meticulously arranged which, in a visual medium, at this point in history especially, is absolutely necessary. We can consider every inch of every frame we are presented with and that is no small task. The film's atmosphere is what people are taking with them, along with a career-best for producer and star, Nicholas Cage. In a role that could have been another typically whackadoo Cage outing, he transforms in a way that I don’t think we’ve seen from him before.
In addition to an upcoming special, the ongoing series of The Powerpuff Girls jumps into its second phase with a brand new writer.

"We often begin rehearsal by sitting around and catching up as friends," says lead singer and songwriter Leah Lavigne of the track. "One evening when everyone had a particularly hard day our conversation ended with someone declaring 'everything is fucked'. I suggested that instead of jumping into running our set we blow off some steam by jamming. Jake started playing some chords, Matt locked in with a beat, and I jokingly screamed 'everything is fucked', improvising the first verse until we broke down in laughter. We all agreed we had to write this song then and there."
