  1. I have a deep fondness for Italian post-apocalyptic sci-fi films of a certain era, and I really enjoyed Exterminators of the Year 3000. Some of it may have been the idiosyncratic translation (where else can you find dialogue like “Die, unspeakable varlet!”?), but there’s a certain aesthetic that just really pleases me. I grieve his loss.
