    Picking a (not so) random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #264 "Straw Dogs" (Sam Peckinpah/1971) Ignore the fact the wrap is still on this release. I have seen this movie many times and it's a fucking belter! Check it out.

    #NowWatching #FilmSky 'Straw Dogs'. 1971 (Sam Peckinpah) The 1970s produced numerous works of film controversy - Sam Peckinpah's second serious look at violence would prove to cause even more outrage than The Wild Bunch. You can read my writing below: ⬇️ letterboxd.com/hunkykubrick...

    Happy 100th birthday to director Sam Peckinpah. His bold use of sound has been very inspiring to me. Straw Dogs made brilliant use of sonic abstractions. The Wild Bunch changed the way gunshots sounded in movies. And The Getaway has one of the best audio intros of any movie ever. A sonic powerhouse.

Has more in common thematically with stuff like STRAW DOGS or even with Wes Craven's LAST HOUSE / HILLS HAVE EYES -- just with sicko vehicle stunts! -- than the spaghetti western meets Heavy Metal sequels.

    213. Straw Dogs (1971 film): if there was a whiff of edge to The Wild Bunch, Straw Dogs is a “misunderstood” 13 year old writing in his diary edgy. Lanthimos-levels of misanthropic worldview fabrication & contrivance. Bogus, but a few subtle notes about masculine rituals of violence are neat. 4/10
