Puberty hits hard in a frightful fusion of western and scifi horror. Admirably bad bunkum with a memorable Jack Pierce beast. They can't all be classic. 1957. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

In loving memory of our friend Sam. Chaplin’s Art of Comedy (1966) is an early film production curated and directed by Samuel M. Sherman. Sherman rescued and restored fading nitrate negatives to create a survey of Charlie Chaplin's breakthrough years. youtu.be/9tY-Q2F-FTg

Fritz Lang made essentially this same movie twice, with this and THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW. This is the really good version, the one that didn't tack on the sort of embarrassingly bad ending slapped on the other (likely to satisfy the Breen office).

Equally luckless with the opposite sex Cushing creates a beautifully vengeful seductress, and she's a keeper. A soul swapping Hammer high. 1967. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #hammerhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #classichorror

Pretty impressive for an org that only had about 7,000 members in 2000 and only about 50,000 in 2024. Or maybe your "analysis" just needs a little work.

Ignore the headline. This is a story of why progressives shouldn't go begging for dirty donor money from the Dem Establishment. Nixon is waging an utterly winnable Senate campaign in Florida and the DSCC is refusing to provide meaningful support for it. www.ms.now/news/angie-n...

From the beginning, a Democratic leadership should have made the case loudly & persistently that this Trumptatorship was a thing fundamentally at odds with the American system of government, damnable, unacceptable in any way. Drive that into the heads of Americans. jriddle.medium.com/trumptatorsh...

Like the provocative lovechild of Fellini and Friedkin. A stunning exploration of superstition and evil with an incredible lead from Lavi.

Whereas voting for Clintonite-rght "Democrats" only ensures the return of fascism a few year later in much worse form. Therein lies the conundrum of our politics, if Dems don't abandon the Clintonite right. Fortunately, it looks as if they are. Unfortunately, it looks as if this may be too late.

Lips of Blood. 1975. Rollin's unique style of vampire lore often proves divisive but it's beautifully beguiling. Visually striking, indelibly haunting surrealism. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #jeanrollin #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Given the mechanics of the 2-party system and how badly Trump is despised, if Dems had better leaders, full-stop, or just leaders, they would be looking at taking 70%, 75%, 80% of congress right now. That's how badly "Democratic leadership" has let down not just their own party but America.

Having the Republican Speaker of the House repeatedly claiming the current congress--one of the least productive in ages--is actually one of the most productive in our history is perfectly emblematic of the Trump era. But it does so in more profound ways than some realize. 🧵

#watched MIGHTY JOE YOUNG (1949) Most of the key figures involved in the production of KING KONG (1933) return for a more kid-friendly remake (of sorts). It's trite but charming with deft stop-motion animation by Ray Harryhausen, Willis O'Brien, and Pete Peterson.
The poster for the 1949 fantasy adventure film, Mighty Joe Young, features the titular character, an immense gorilla, fending off an attack by a pride of lions.

#watched SCANNERS (1981) A sketchy weapons developer recruits a telekinetic loner to hunt down an assassin with similar mental powers. If Jedi and Sith were real, this is probably their origin story and a cynically accurate portrayal of how they'd behave. #DavidCronenberg
The theatrical poster for the 1981 sci-fi horror film, Scanners, shows the villainous character Darryl Revok (played by Michael Ironside) being ravaged by a telekinetic attack.

Every time one Democrat does something bad it's "the Democrats" and every time a Democrat does something good it's "finally one Democrat who gets it." "The Democrats" is one of the most annoyingly ill-used verbal tics across the entire spectrum of hellsites.

There are people all over the U.S. who have been working to try to give the Dems a majority in congress and Hakeem Jeffries has told them, over and over again, to go fuck themselves. If the Dems take the House then turn around and make him Speaker, it would be like overturning the election results.

An example of useless Clintonites adopting the language of reformers until it becomes insensible. In this case, the notion that healthcare is a human right--the basic premise of Medicare For All--is twisted into "access" to "affordable healthcare" as a right.
