"I'm one of the good ones, but I don't speak up to support women because they're MEAN!" You ain't one of the good ones. You're a complicit piece of shit, and if you wanna see mean, I'll happily show you what it actually looks like.

Reading about American generative AI being used to kill Palestinian civilians is one thing. Hearing about it from the perpetrators is another.

VERITY can't decide if it wants to be serious or trashy, and it would have been so much better if it had just committed to trashy. Still, the performances and cinematography are worth a watch. www.thewrap.com/creative-con...

My buddy @atommurray.bsky.social's puppet-fantasy short, THE TRAVELER & THE TROLL, is available to watch today. It's under 10 minutes, will make you laugh, keeps Henson's Labyrinth vibes alive, and is pretty darn impressive. Give it a look and tell Adam he done good!

My last review out of Fantastic Fest also happens to be my favorite by a country mile. GHOST IN THE CELL is Joko Anwar at his absolute best. I am obsessed with it. Like, ONE CUT OF THE DEAD level obsessed with it, but for different reasons. Watch it ASAP. www.fangoria.com/review-ghost...

GHOST IN THE CELL is a gnarly socio-political horror comedy of the ages.

STAY WITH ME. There is an ethical obligation to vote for the lesser of two evils in a general election. AND "Vote blue no matter who" is not a valid sentiment during the primaries. It is our JOB to put the best candidate forward. If you DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THAT you are PERPETUATING THE PROBLEM.

Intent is essential in witchcraft — something the film even goes out of its way to acknowledge — and, unfortunately, a lack of intent holds THE HERETIKS back from conjuring so much as a spark. It's a pity, because it was one of my most anticipated of the fest. www.fangoria.com/review-the-h...
