A little known fact about the CARS universe, is that post-World War 2 many Volkswagens, BMWs and Mercedes fled to Cargentina to avoid the Nuremberg Time Trials

A joy to be at an advance screening of Martyn's film before it hits Brooklyn Horror Film Fest. No exaggeration: this film is a true powerhouse spiritual successor to Jamie Blanks's VALENTINE (complimentary). Australian horror isn't just back, baby: it never fucking left. Proud of Martyn! Follow him!

Big thanks to everyone for coming out to THE ONLY ONE last night! It was an amazing crowd. And there was a bespoke cocktail that I maaaaay have drunk too many of.

Just gonna leave this here.

Letterboxd review of THE ONLY ONE:

A bloody triumph. Confident swings, great characters, some real surprises, a terrific villain design, and a spot-on concept.

Destined to be a slasher classic.

Sometimes I forget I’m in the United States and then on the plane the woman next to me dropped her bottle of water and said ‘oh shoot! I was going to save that for the car ride home’

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”
