The industry is in a bad place right now & screaming at the few things keeping the industry afloat that aren't billion dollar tentpoles and the last way into Hollywood left is just sadly out of touch. If Kahn announced he were leaving the industry at the end of it, I'd believe it. Pure crashout.

There's no need to read the latest Joseph Kahn article. In short he: A) Properly identifies the only types of indie movies people are watching these days B) Fails to mention he's made those types of movies & failed with them C) Insults everyone D) Fails to understand why everything is how it is

I don't think we should be giving clicks to sites that consistently publish pieces from folks who either don't know horror or hate the genre instead of hiring any of us out here who know genre film and want to work, but are struggling due to the state of the industry.

As his new take on Carrie premieres on Prime Video, showrunner Mike Flanagan tells Brian Formo about the secret to successfully adapting Stephen King and reflects on the fear and anxiety of the modern high-school experience. boxd.it/3q0

I really liked this season of Ted Lasso. My least favorite and think it is largely due to Bill Lawrence's absence. Still great new storyline and new cast. I just love this show. Excited for what the three season arc Sudeikis and the gang have planned.

ICYMI: The nation of Niger has become the first nation in the world to criminalise asexuality as part of a wider crackdown on the LGBTQIA+ community
wearequeeraf.com
Why Niger explicitly criminalising asexuality is significant to everyone, regardless of identity
To understand Nigers asexuality criminalisation, we should see this law as part of a bigger – and growing – global trend among conservatives about 'traditional families'

There is no shame in flipping burgers. Because there's no shame in being poor in a rigged, shit system. There is, however, a lot of shame in being a wealthy fuckface with a job and hoarding your wealth while others struggle to eat. Change your vernacular about the burger thing, please.

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

Already hyped and my most anticipated movie of 2027, but this makes me unbelievably excited. I can't contain the hype now. Mike Flanagan making a serial killer police procedural movie? And it's an Exorcist movie? Fuck. Yes. Inject it into my eyes right now.

It likely comes as no surprise that Flanagan has done it again with CARRIE. This reimagining is as clever as the girls are cruel, and Sam Sloyan — who in a just world would have multiple Emmys by now — gives a career best performance as Margaret White. www.thewrap.com/creative-con...

IMO getting Kotick involved at a high level in your newly formed colossal corporate conglomerate sends a clear message: Not only do we not care about the culture of harassment and misogyny that festered under him at Activision, we think that kind of unbridled patriarchy and misogyny is good.

Listen, I don't have a lot of self preservation in my bones. Still, even if I didn't agree with her the vast majority of the time (and find her to be crazy talented), Hayley Williams is towards the top of my very short "do not piss off" list.

So I'm trying to figure out what this means, because it surely isn't saying sales are 2-3x better, and I think literally they're measuring WoW Forever's launch and good Gears reviews and quantifying them as higher brand sentiment.

If you're the kind of ghoul who would threaten and harass an artist because they need to step away from a project to handle a family matter, you're the kind of ghoul that needs to worry about Batman finding them in a dark alley. Grow up and do your best to find a shred of empathy in the process.

Control Resonant being “open-world” makes a lot of sense actually since Control is just Arkham Asylum. Of course the follow up would be Arkham City.

"We closed all the third spaces and now we can't figure out why folks aren't driving to the three that remain when gas is $7 a gallon." Not to mention the fact that if you're lucky enough to live near one, that doesn't guarantee you can afford it. The framing of this piece is insane work. Mental.
