I don't remember Trump 1.0 being this overtly pro-rape.

Fascinating how Roger Ebert both sort of did and did not get The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. He criticized it basically for being TOO GOOD as low-budget southern gothic horror.

When “China Cat Sunflower” segues into “I Know You Rider.”

Buster Keaton really is one of those few filmmakers who has no literary equivalent. A Keaton short or feature is about as purely cinematic as you can get.

I'm just gonna start blocking artists who post Malfoid, I really don't have time for this nonsense.

The world can end, the machinery of world commerce can grind to a halt, and yet "the family" will persist—for better or worse. It's "Family" by Joyce Carol Oates, from the December 1989 issue of Omni! sffremembrance.com/2026/10/18/s...

Short Story: “Family” by Joyce Carol Oates

(Cover by Tony Craddock. Omni, December 1989.) Who Goes There? Joyce Carol Oates was born in 1938, in upstate New York, and lived her early years among farmers and the land, in contrast with fellow…

I keep thinking of that one artist who actually played ZZZ and must've lost so much money on it that they quit drawing and turned into a Jesus freak seemingly overnight.

I appreciate that The Substance is this big love letter to ‘80s horror. The problem is I would rather rewatch pretty much all of these movies over The Substance.

What does this mean.😭 #MASH

“The movie Digger is marketed as is not the movie Digger actually is, and this has been a headache for both the marketing team and those who review movies for cash.” My messy thoughts on this weird and wonderful movie: sffremembrance.com/2026/10/15/t...

The Observatory: We Don’t Know How to Talk About Digger

(Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell, in front of an audience of irate Europeans.) Given the kind of movie Digger is, it would be impossible to discuss it in any kind of depth without going into spoilers…

My current hyperfixations are Digger (2026) and the Grateful Dead. Weird combo, I know.

Might bump Digger up to a 10/10 on a rewatch ngl.

Digger is, among other things (because like nearly all great works of art it’s multi-faceted), about how art does not and cannot incite people to take revolutionary action. That’s not art’s purpose in this world. Seeing a Boots Riley movie will not inspire people to unionize.

I have a lot of Bill Hicks's stuff committed to memory, so I can tell you bro frequently swerved between truth nuke and misogynistic proto-Alex Jones territory, seemingly on a dime.

Sometimes I wonder if I look good enough to do porn, then I remember like half the guys who star in porn these days are bald.

If you say you "don't do politics" in the current year then I have to assume you're MAGA, sorry not sorry.

Where did it come from? It's certainly not native to this climate. Worse yet, it's getting bigger—and hungrier. It's "Greenface" by James H. Schmitz, from the August 1943 issue of Unknown! sffremembrance.com/2026/10/12/s...

Short Story Review: “Greenface” by James H. Schmitz

(Cover artist not credited. Unknown, August 1943.) Who Goes There? James H. Schmitz was born in 1911, in Germany, although both of his parents were American. Schmitz grew up fluent in both English …

I fear we will not be able to have an honest convo about Stephen King’s racism, fatphobia, being buddies with Rowling, etc, until after he’s shuffled off this mortal coil.

Much as I love Michael Keaton in Birdman, you're always kinda aware it's Michael Keaton AS Riggan. That's part of the film's point. But Tom Cruise really does disappear into his role(s), made even more astounding because he plays two distinct characters.

You met me at a very Grateful Dead time in my life.

Good chance Tom Cruise doesn’t even get nominated for Digger, insane considering it might be THE lead performance of 2026.

Jesse Plemons in Digger looks like he’s both 25 and 45, it’s hard to describe.

The new subtitles for everything on the Criterion Channel are so bad, like what the hell is this.

Stephen King fanboys being semi-literate is unsurprising, given they are Stephen King fanboys.

I'm an Iñárritu agnostic myself, but I respect that he's one of the few filmmakers working in Hollywood who wants to make Great Art, in a medium that's inherently tied to populism and appealing to the lowest common denominator.

There should be a dating app for people who saw Digger in theaters.

Ya know, Killers of the Flower Moon would be an incredible final film for Scorsese. We really don’t need What Happens at Night and its gen AI storyboarding.

Ideally you should see Digger in a theater while you can, but not for the reasons people usually give for why you “need” to see a movie on the big screen.

Jacobin is a reactionary outlet.

Am I a fake, or it is the world that's counterfeit? It's "In the Arcade" by Lisa Tuttle, from the May 1978 issue of Amazing Stories! sffremembrance.com/2026/10/08/s...
