Read this about the week leading up to the filming of Frankenstein. Carl Laemmle jr. is portrayed as a young visionary fighting against the staid values of his father. It’s is a triumph for the future of Universal. Funny in retrospect because Jr. basically bankrupted the studio in five years.

Twin Peaks, horror, books, psychotronalia. He/him.
Timekeepers of Eternity is as great as Langoliers is cheesy. Worth seeking out!
Seems like a good time to remind everyone to watch THE TIMEKEEPERS OF ETERNITY, a recut and remix of THE LANGOLIERS where every shot was printed on paper.
*Christopher Moltisanti voice* Marty! Kundun! I liked it!
Good morning Bluesky, time for some homework. #NowWatching Kundun (1997) Ok that’s rude. It’s Marty so I’m sure it’ll be entirely watchable, but there’s a reason this is one of only two Scorcese’s I haven’t seen yet. #Filmsky
I’m gonna have to skip this episode for now until I can watch the movie, but of course I had to play the first 20 minutes for the best segment in podcasting.
On this week’s SCOTT HASN’T SEEN, we go to the theater to watch GODZILLA MINUS ZERO, Takashi Yamazaki’s 2026 sequel to the Oscar-winning GODZILLA MINUS ONE! Returning to the show is renowned actor and avid ‘zilla enthusiast, Jack Quaid! Exclusively at @cbbworld.bsky.social!
Yesterday was my last day at Microsoft. I'm so proud of the work I accomplished with so many great people in the email division, but am proud to announce that today I started a new position at the FAA.
Homework viewing done, chores accomplished, time for some fun. #NowWatching Frostbiter (1995) I’ve been seeing mutuals post wintry horror which put me in the mood for the same. Saw this on YouTube a few years ago but I’m excited to finally crack open this VinSyn Blu-ray. #Filmsky #Horrorsky

Sweet! My preorder for Harvest Brood showed up today! Signed by Joe Meredith no less. One of my favorites of last year. I’ll have to stay up late and watch it alone with all the lights off to give it that little ‘watching something while the house is asleep’ frisson. #Horrorsky #Filmsky
In honor of Stacy Keach I’m revisiting a favorite I haven’t seen in awhile. #NowWatching The Ninth Configuration (1980) William Peter Blatty, man. Could have had a vibrant second career as a director. This and Exorcist 3 prove he had the chops. #Filmsky
#NowWatching Violence Voyager (2018) Animation through painted cardboard and paper models. I’ve been seeing images from this for years, really looking forward to finally seeing where all the insanity came from. #Filmsky #Horrorsky
For your veteran’s day viewing pleasure, might I recommend The Americanization of Emily? A WWII romantic black comedy about American officer James Garner falling in love with British widow Julie Andrews. Came out as US ground involvement in Vietnam was ramping up. just as relevant today. #Filmsky
I’m loving Red Dead Redemption so much that, even though I’m near the end, I keep ignoring the main story to complete challenges and explore every pocket of the map. I don’t even fast travel! But also, these challenges have me playing the game as a true sociopath.
Stacy Keach. We keep losing the greats. He was in a lot of low-rent stuff but i never saw him phone it in. I just watched him in Survival Skill, a no budget oddity in which he’s sitting behind a desk 95% of the time, but even then he was giving a real, honest-to-god great performance. RIP
I guess it’s a horror day. What else is new? #NowWatching Ghost Train (2025) Another Korean horror film about paranormal youtubers desperate for clicks. But this one is a sorta-anthology, and from the opening scenes seems to have a LITTLE humor. Here’s hoping… #Filmsky #Horrorsky
#NowWatching Savage Beliefs (1984) Low budget slasher shot on 16mm in 1984 set in the Chicago punk scene! Technically unfinished, pieced together 30 years later, & put up on YouTube by the director. Shout out to @jakerswell.bsky.social, whose review pointed me towards this. #Filmsky #Horrorsky

I’m deleting the link to Repo Man’s Kickstarter as Alex Cox responded to my politely asking he not use AI to make slop in a mocking fashion. His response, which he copied pasted to anyone asking him to reconsider is fucking ridiculous. Tippett SFX, count your fucking days.
“Oh hey, you wanna go hang out in my lighthouse? Would you be able to pick up a couple shifts on my pirate radio station? You can play whatever you want. I’m Adrienne Barbeau in 1980.”
Who would be the type of spy that brings you down? I don’t think Seduction Spy would get me but I definitely think Affable Local Deli Guy Spy might be able to chip away at me little by little until I give up some goods. Ultimately it all depends on the quality of the sandwiches.

#NowWatching The Baron of Arizona (1950) The movie is fine, but it’s a great role for Price. I’ve been meaning to rewatch this since reading a book on the true story earlier this year. Settling in for this highly sensational account of a man who tried to swindle Arizona from the US govt. #Filmsky

Colors altered, pattern formatted, now live on my Etsy shop along with the several other patterns I’ve been test stitching all last month. (Shop link in my profile)
Might tweak a color or two in the final pattern, but I think it turned out pretty good. (Based on one of my sticker designs)
Didn’t think I’d be able to swing it, but made it out to Killer Fitness to see Blood Rage. First time watch for me, and star Mark Soper was there for a very fun q&a afterwards. What an odd movie. Very strange rhythms. It’s like… a deadpan campiness. #Filmsky #Horrorsky
I feel like my music tastes are pretty basic, when I see all the stuff my mutuals post. But this song is really doing it for me this week. I’m kind of mid on the album as a whole, but I love this.
You Remind Me That I'm Dying (and that it's good to be alive)

Lazy Sunday today, no movies for now, checking out this bbc show. #NowWatching Life After Life (2022) I love this book, which affected me greatly when I read it a decade or so ago. Love Kate Atkinson’s books. Had no idea this was made into a miniseries until this week.
Partner and I finally got around to undertone (2025) tonight. I’m sorry for everyone who loved it, everyone who got scared in theaters, but that movie was Dumb As Hell. It had really great sound design, even on a home setup (I can’t imagine #Horrorsky #Filmsky
Watching Undertone and very surprised to see HBO is running ads for ketamine now.
