I'm really into this Jordan Peele-curated horror story anthology OUT THERE SCREAMING so far. Great, easy reads but classic, hard-hitting horror.

She is like Paul Schrader - a great artist who posts insane things sometimes or even a lot of the time. These people are old and come from a time when you didn't censor your thoughts so much, for better or worse.

Great, hard-hitting piece. What a travesty this case is.

I rewatched BARBARIAN and WEAPONS the last few days home sick - great movies. I've seen quite a bit of flack for em online but I don't know. I think what Cregger does is great -

PRIMETIME - brutal and eye-catching. Completely compelling. Pattinson and Skyler Gisondo have rarely been this good. I could've sworn I knew Merrit Wever from somewhere but I don't think so actually. Whole thing is directed like a horror film, but a really stylish one, dramatic, all gonzo.

The local computer store sold me a computer and showed me a blocky old 1980s-era military/helicopter computer he got as a collector recently, which he said the money I just paid would pay for. How are you going to get this kind of stuff buying from Bezos' croaking empire of capitalist gluttony?

It's official: Starbucks is gutting DEI policies company-wide to curry favor with Florida politicians as our union's call for a boycott grows. Vote with your dollar. BOYCOTT STARBUCKS.
Fox News headline: Starbucks agrees to DEI overhaul after blockbuster Florida legal showdown. The coffee giant will pay $1M and submit annual compliance certifications for four years under the agreement

RESIDENT EVIL - Not what I wanted from Cregger really but he's one of these generational horror talents. It's mostly just a big live action video game.

Every journalism job post with AI I see is like "your role will be to fix the mistakes the robot makes in its stories" and it's just like, I could just do the work myself and avoid the extra steps. It's all bullshit and parlor tricks

I want to apologize for remarks I made a few years ago suggesting I believe every human is entitled to respect and dignity in addition to basic human rights. I had no way of knowing at the time this sentiment could be interpreted as applying to people of a gendered persuasion

BUDDY was good... you've seen the whole "childhood thing turned dark, ooh" gimmick before but this was a good movie no matter what. Solid B-horror. Visually kooky and never gets dull. Cristin Milioti elevates everything she's in.

Literary fiction is coming. It is going to revolutionize the economy. We know that China has already got a start on literary fiction. We can’t afford to be left out of the literary fiction economy. Think of your kids. They might already be engaging with literary fiction.

COYOTE VS ACME... wonderfully fun time at the movies. Just straightforwardly enjoyable. Funny and even though it follows an old rulebook it just works. I wonder what it is about Albuquerque that merits lawyer thrillers be set there.

Strange impulse to do it this way. I'm only posting about this at all because I like the idea of trying to make villains sympathetic and interesting. But of course modern Hollywood is just content to do endless bullshit reimaginings of old stories over and over again so all you get is this.

This IT ENDS movie was nuts. Genuinely existential - like the whole substance and text of the film was about that more than anything. It's a horror movie but doesn't do anything a normal horror does. Really had me feeling some kind of way last night. Fucking unsettling.

They'll publish these articles and you'll read them thinking the whole world is going nuts, but it's not - this stuff is a micro-niche, just online grifters and weirdos to point at like zoo animals. It's an article because the site had to put out content.

I unearthed a few of my old short stories that got published nine years ago and put them up on my website for free. One of the magazines no longer exists but the other one still might, but even so. Reading these things back is kind of crazy now. I don't even think I'm the same person now.

This is one of those movies that just works on every level - the actors seem like they're just real people you happened to meet, the writing is full of existential, intellectual, interesting dialogues...

Yeah I mean this isn't wrong about these MAGA fuckheads. But I also don't want my art or comedy to wave flags for centrists and Democrats either, or promote such a worldview in an uncritical manner. I don't think art needs to have a side. Just needs to be exploratory and look for truths, excitement.

Somehow this has been getting passed around as AOC saying "wokeness" went too far, but this is an example where you should really look into what was said. This is a poor article - confusing and trying to draw all these barely-related, small things into an attack on progressive values.

This EXIT 8 movie kind of seemed like it would suck in the first 10-20 minutes, but give em credit, they pulled off a pretty ambitious concept. Surrealist, high-brow horror... I think there's a wave of horror movies now that are tackling the mundane horrors of life, the liminal boredoms.

Really liked THE INVITE. I always love a movie that's so stripped down it could be a play. Nothing but great dialogue and performances. This kind of thing is so raw and is like magic when you get it right.
