What are you reading for Banned Books Week 2026? In honor of the late Marjane Satrapi, who died this last June at age 56, I’m revisiting her magnum opus Persepolis. According to Banned-Books.org, it has been banned in the U.S. and Iran, among other countries. I’ve been a fan since it first came out.

We as a society have in recent years gone from “put a pin in that” to “put a chainsaw in that.”

You just used iconoclast and cromulent in the same post. I’m impressed.

A friend of mine directed Manos Returns. Admittedly, not versed in the others.

You know, it’s a local brick-and-mortar coffee shop morning for me and my current leisure-reading book. ☕️

Yeah, I heard it for the first time only a few days ago, after seeing that it broke Mariah Carey’s record.

Duckman. Largely forgotten, but I have the complete series on DVD and it’s been comfort-food viewing since I first saw it in college.

I know it’s been said on this thread, but Mystery Science Theater 3000 is my favorite comfort-food viewing to fall asleep to. 💙

If you like dark synth and densely atmospheric modern horror, I give my highest possible recommendation to Come True (2020). I regularly spin the soundtrack/score for background music. Pilotpriest, the composer, is a moniker used by the film’s writer-director. Here’s a taste.

Was just perusing my copy of this a couple days ago. I got to meet her around the time this novel came out when she visited the university I was attending.
