Is it just me, or is using sci-fi/fantasy creatures as an allegory for real-life marginalized groups an excuse for white filmmakers to tell stories about why racism is bad while still casting white people in most of those roles? This post brought to you by Brad Bird's RAY GUNN, by the way.

if you made Carnal Knowledge today the Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel characters would 100% be defending the Cornell students

Spooky season is here, therefore I transform into Ada Wong

Pretty convinced that Digger is a prank until I hear anything to reasonably contradict me.

Chose today to rewatch Killers of the Flower Moon. And goddamn, what a picture.

Forgotten Island is a total blast. Filipino pride shot to a new high with this one. Loved it!

The word you're looking for is "misogynistic", not "homosexual".

Wait you guys are getting job interviews?

Years ago the director of this movie went on Turkish TV and explained that this was never meant to be released to the public. It was just a joke he did with his friends but someone ended up uploading it to the internet and it exploded. Very few people in Turkey even knew it existed.

In Turkey, E.T. is called HOMOTI, he's gay and has a huge ass! lol

Will I understand Wild Horse Nine without having seen Wild Horse 1 through 8?

If you like my writings and would like to help it makes gas and groceries much less stressful. It’s always appreciated.

It is wild to see a half of a billion dollars MCU movie pull the same shit a 1997 issue of X-Force would pull, where there's a checklist in the back explaining that if you want to read this book, here are the eleven (11) other titles you need to be keeping up with.

Do we even think Digger is going to be any good or is Iñárritu just so far up his own ass that we're fascinated

With that potential Bullitt tease from Arrow, I thought I’d revive/remake an old post I made on the other website. BULLITT (1968) // RED HEAT (1988) Harry Kleiner worked on both screenplays. #FilmSky

Horrific circumstances have forced a friend of mine, a mother in Gaza who at this time shall not be named, to start a new campaign. As the genocide rages on, the horrors she has to witness only get worse. Her birthday is in two days, so please, give her the gift of hope. #FreePalestine #HelpGaza
