If you don't speak German, on youtube you can:

  • go to the "gear" settings icon in the video
  • in "Subtitles/CC" select "German auto-generated"
  • then go to "Subtitles/CC" again and select "auto translate", and it will give you an option to select "English"

It's pretty obvious what's going on even without narration, this is the Planetopia documentary "Schwarz ist Bunt" from (I think) 2011 which follows a couple different people as they go to Wave-Gotik-Treffen: a model, a clothes designer, a photographer, a dancer, a musician.

The film is about an advanced American defense system, named Colossus, becoming sentient. After being handed full control, Colossus' draconian logic expands on its original nuclear defense directives to assume total control of the world...

Some nightclub owners made a video of a typical goth night in Batley, UK back in the 80s.

Hey, WGT's coming up, right? In the spirit of this community now welcoming non-music posts on things goth/industrial/etc, I thought I'd look up a video of outfits and costumes at last year's Wave-Gotik-Treffen.

 

I remembered that Eurovision is next month, so I looked up what Bambie Thug has been up to and saw this music video with a "vampire fighter" theme.

Violent J of Insane Clown Posse is trying to sound like Nine Inch Nails in this song, which I thought was kinda funny and thus appropriate for an April 1 post on this community. But it's cool if you downvote, I get it, really...

A while back I was watching a surrealist western cowboy film and I thought it was fun, but I was like: it'd be cool if there was something like halway between the fully far-out surrealist western cowboy film and a regular western cowboy film.

This is that movie. Things don't make sense if you try to piece it all together as a story with narrative coherence, but they do make sense at a mythic level. Like there are bad guys and more bad guys, and it's a little hard to keep track of them, and you can never be sure who's gonna die right now and who's gonna make it, and there's violence and more violence. And there's this truly wacky flashback, and a couple other flashbacks that can be hard to situate. And I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure there are no good guys. There are quests and searches and fights and characters who show up just to die and do things turn out OK in the end? Kinda, I guess... I mean, all of this, that's what life is really like, yes? Really, violence and revenge and death don't make a whole lot of sense. Really it's all kinda hazy, like a summer day spent out in the desert heat without water.

I don't think they did it on purpose, but I like the way this movie turned out. Don't think about it too much, just watch it and take it as it is, and you might find it's a pretty good film.

 

A Town Called Bastard (also known as A Town Called Hell on DVD and Blu-ray) is a 1971 international co-production spaghetti Western. It was shot in Madrid with Robert Shaw, Telly Savalas, Stella Stevens and Martin Landau.[2][3][4]

It was released on blu-ray on 18 August 2015.[5] The film was retitled A Town Called Hell for US release as the word "bastard" was thought offensive.[6]

Plot

In 1903 Mexico, a small town is presided over by a tyrant who commands a grizzled outlaw and his men. Also in town is a priest with a violent past, who has abandoned his clerical duties. ...

If you're not familiar with sumo this is a great video to watch, it’s a summary of all the top action of the day and the commentary is in English.

If there are words you don't recognize...

  • some words refer to the sumo wrestler's ranking: yokozuna, ozeki, sekiwake, komosubi and finally maegashira (which also have numbers.) These rankings change after every tournament. See the current rankings.
  • the rankings are different from the tournament's leaderboard.
  • other words like yorikiri and oshitaoshi refer to the techniques used. There's a lot of pushing, tripping, and throwing!
  • finally there are various other terms bc this endeavor has been around for several centuries.

Looks like Undetermined and English were selected by default. Don't see any problem seeing content.
