But here are some that deserve mention,” writes @clintworthing.bsky.social in his recap of the Fantasia Film Festival:
Carpenter was right about everything.

The number of people who think my name is pronounced “Deondre” is more than you might think. Well, it is more than I would think, at least.
CLOCKWATCHERS seemed like an appropriate pick for the week I return to the office after leaving Fantasia. Join us! Chicago Drafthouse tonight. drafthouse.com/chicago/even...

Fantasia ’26 Movie Review: “PENNY LANE IS DEAD” tries to gouge your ears and blind your eyes - Rue Morgue
The film teeters on the edge of satire without ever fully embracing its potential to create that critical commentary on its well-established tropes.

I swear, the Born of Woman shorts block at @fantasiafestival.com is one of the most reliably incredible film programs every year.
I'm up in Montreal for @fantasiafestival.com this week, but you all in Chicago really should go to the Drafthouse tonight to see @tomorrowromance.bsky.social host THE STRANGE COLOR OF YOUR BODY'S TEARS. It is freaking incredible, especially on a big screen. drafthouse.com/chicago/even...
For anyone curious about current air quality in Chicago, here’s a comparison of today vs the usual.
I’ve been informed that “AI slop” is losing its meaning. Not sure how that’s true, but it’s a good reminder that “swill” is also sitting right there.
Seeing TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA the same weekend I’m reading Paul Tremblay’s “Horror Movie” is a trip. (This is a very much a niche post, but for the 2 people who can relate.)
The entire MIASMA series is on display on VHS at the Salt Shed today. You can pick them up and read everything on the covers, but don’t be the jerk that takes them home and runs the fun. #MubiFest
Dede Crimmins@dedecrim.bsky.social · 4w agoSome pretty fun giveaways at TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH ST CAMP MIASMA last night. #MubiFest
Thank you @ruemorguemag.bsky.social!! You know how to make a geriatric millennial feel special.
Rue Morgue Magazine@ruemorguemag.bsky.social · 4w agoHappy Birthday to RUE MORGUE writer Dede Crimmins! 🎉
