1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Santa Sangre is a twisted sort of amazing. Cherished, never expected to see anyone else mention it.

Thanks!

I always call it a smorgasbord of the senses. I can pretty much guarantee that everyone watching it will see at least one thing that they've never really conceived of before.

Every time I watch it yields things I'd not seen before.

~~Spaghetti westerns? Sure. But have you ever seen a Spanish Inquisition western?~~
