THE BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME - OR MOVIES THAT RESONATE WITH DUNGEON DEGENERATES
Welcome to Cinema Club! When one thinks of the idea of influences - there is a chicken & egg scenario - which came first? As an artist, philosopher, historian & occultist - I have noticed that time is like a boomerang - it happens - goes away & then comes back. Understanding the boomerang nature of time - I believe that what we call influences are actually the same as Tarot Cards - a set of cues that will be interpreted by the individual. That is to say - we all see things differently & then we all communicate those ideas differently after that & then again - whoever receives this communication will interpret it their own way! This is a list of movies that resonate with the world of Dungeon Degenerates - the Dark Fantasy atavistic subconsciousness of Goblinko. The cultural information included in these films will help you to achieve the desired state of consciousness in order to truly resonate with Dungeon Degenerates. As your mind becomes tuned to the Dark Fantasy Goblinko frequency - it will interlock with the hidden cyclopean universal clockwork fractal & you will feel the unstoppable energy flow through you. I have included trailers for you to sell the idea harder - but we recommend that you watch all of these films at least a dozen times each. In a dark theater. With a large popcorn with butter. With Red Vines. On drugs.
