The second is brilliant and was overshadowed by the brilliance of the first (and the underwhelming movie itself) but goddamn I loved it. White Zombie! Tricky-produced Bush cover of a Joy Division song! Iggy! PJ Harvey! Fucking wild work.

Okay, so I saw Carrie. I've read the book a few times and I love the De Palma movie. Like many it seems, I enjoyed the show until the last episode, which I found unforgivable. I can see how if this is a person's only experience with Carrie, they'd leave... confused.

I have not seen Carrie, but I HAVE seen people who appear... confused that it is sympathetic to Carrie? Do people think Carrie was the villain of the movie Carrie? Am I losing my mind? I am positive I am going to regret this post.

To be clear, she's like "It began in the last administration so it can't be politics" as though virulent anti-queerness isn't a bi-partisan position in this shit hole country.

This was written 3 years ago and it feels like it is from a previous century. "It is unlikely that AI will ever simulate meaningful human-to-human companionship, like M3gan provides Cady in the movie, one expert said."

"Art is how we touch things bigger than us, and how we're touched by things bigger than us. Sometimes that bigger thing isn't external. It's internal. Art reminds us that we're unified, both in our experience and in our alienation."

The ads are like one type of woman being like "Can your wife do this? I'm AI, I can do anything!" And the the character morphs into somebody who looks "normal" or "amateur" or outside of any porn aesthetic and it's like "I can appear as anyone."

The the point @inyourculture.bsky.social made: "he's talkin' about wank material. everybody will be able to turn their game into personalized interactive porn" Nearly 100% of porn ads I have seen in the past 6 month are AI companies being like "You can wank to literally anything now!"

This is a favorite of mine for reasons, but they cut his being a molester from the script because they thought it was "too much" and the overcorrection of them REALLY emphasizing child murderer is unhinged.

It's funny when folks get hung up on whether or not the OG Freddy was technically a child molester. He licks a 15-year-old girl's lips through the phone.

I eventually came around to love Freddy somehow - the franchise was my favorite when I finally came into horror - but that cutout STILL creeps me out. Being a kid and seeing that WITH NO CULTURAL CONTEXT is SO MUCH. It is so scary, especially before Freddy became, like... a vaudeville jokester.

Alex Steed @alexsteed.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

God, same. These were my introductions to horror. They started coming out to promote the second movie, I believe, so 1985 and they were fixtures in stores for the rest of the 80s - when I was like 2 - 7 years old and they absolutely fucked me up.

This is, perhaps, one of the most surreal Entertainment Tonight clips I have ever seen. Edited to include a few clips from Girl’s Trip and to trim length. Some of the reactions and asides are gold. Check out our episode about Girl’s Trip wherever you listen to podcasts.

It is funny (in the joker way, as per usual) how so many people's lives were completely shattered over copyright trolling from companies who treated downloading a song as a capital offense but the moment they could make money on it themselves it instantly stopped being relevant

Really wild being outside of the states, having someone learn where you're from, and be asked if I know about the "botched death penalty thing" like it represents what the country is all about (because it *is* what the country is all about).
