Paul Williams @paulnwilliams.bsky.social · 4hI rewatched The Blair Witch Project last night, and it is incomprehensible to me why we do not speak of that movie with the reverence it deserves. Even when you take away the incredible marketing campaign, it is still a gonzo masterpiece. 010

But the political truth is that he can do no right. He has made himself illegitimate. That he remains in office despite this isn't evidence to the contrary, it's evidence of systemic political rot 41292165

Paul Williams @paulnwilliams.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Day 3 (Late because I got sleepy) Wes Craven's New Nightmare enjoys a reputation for being meta before meta was cool. It looks terrific, but the constantly shrieking score, straight up bad acting (other than Heather Longencamp), and repetitive "just a dream" sequences kept this from being good. 100
Paul Williams @paulnwilliams.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Day 2 (Late because of image issues) Watched the 1997 landmark Japanese film Cure. Beautifully constructed and deeply haunting. Not sure it qualifies as a horror movie to my mind, but lots of people seem to think it is. Worth a watch either way. 100
