Looking for spooky and horror film recs for my 8 year old. She already loves Coraline, Addams Family, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Matrix Resurrections is a goddamned brilliant movie that says what it has to say with its whole goddamned chest. I literally cannot believe that they let Lana Wachowski make a $190 million love letter to transition.

Not only is Matrix Resurrections on par with the first film, it’s also one of the most important blockbusters ever made. As with Speed Racer, time will reveal it as the sci-fi masterpiece it is.

There is no way this show completes its run. Cancelled by season 4. Calling it now.

A lot of people are dooming about the Harry Potter TV Series being an inevitable success that will make JK Rowling a ton of money, but I want to remind y'all they are spending more money producing this thing than any TV series has EVER MADE www.republicworld.com/entertainmen...

we should all be yelling (complimentary) about Matrix Resurrections forever it’s a good thing to yell about

These two fell in love while doing an improv show at Edinburgh Fringe, where, because of the budget they not only had to share a room, but also had to share a bed. It's the gayest thing ever. They had their dates in graveyards because one of their ex's was producing the show so they had to be sneaky

I wrote this soppy poem about 5 days into our relationship. Anyway, today is our 7th anniversary so, turns out you *can* just look at someone and know.

Interesting pitfall of writing a sci-fi story in 2026 is that even using the term "AI" in the text feels kind of slimy lol

there is no way a show that was so cheap to make that it aired after school could now be so expensive one of the biggest studios on the planet can't afford it

Nostalgia Hits Limit as Power Rangers Found Too Expensive for Disney+

I wrote about CAMP MIASMA, its playful eroticism, the trans killer in horror, Jane Schoebrun's intelligence in suggesting the spaces between fantasy and identity, and their preoccupations with a necrotic nostalgia for all things analog. www.patreon.com/willowcately... (no paywall)

I honestly have no idea why some trans women are so invested in esoteric discourse topics that pit themselves against trans men. Trans men should be your allies. These discourses that paint trans men as enemies are just doing the far-right’s work for them.

So Donatello's David is a femboy, huh?

I reviewed Hellcat, an inventive horror that breathes new life into an old monster, and provides a heartfelt look at family dynamics.

Hellcat — Exquisite Terror

An inventive film that reconciles horror’s present and past; proof that some of the genre’s oldest monsters still have more to offer.

My eight year old went for a play date and her friend asked what her pronouns were. I think the kids are gonna be okay.

Speed Racer is the perfect trans femme film because it’s a bunch of cool things you’re introduced to as a boy like martial arts and motor racing but queered through a kaleidoscope of bubblegum visuals and wholehearted sincerity.

I saw Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Sandra Bland and George Floyd all executed by the police and their deaths used by window dressing for corporate morality. Im not really buying this "woke 1" thing when people have been out in the streets for a while

I say this as a former member of the Whitechapel board and as someone who can genuinely credit Ellis' work as changing the course of my life: fuck this dude. He targeted and victimized my friends, colleagues, and/or (former) partners. And people keep showing their asses for this creep. Fuck em all.

I will never stop talking up DIVINE HAMMER, which I firmly believe to be the best SOV horror movie of recent years. Clever, terrible to behold, beautifully shot on a dime. This movie shows us what's possible for the next generation of trans horror. thisisharmonwest.ghost.io/towards-an-e...

shout out your favorite low-/no-budget horror of the last few years. doing the 48 Hour Film Project next month that's horror focused and want to See What's Possible. More psychological/surreal/effects-lite preferable but open to whatever

Not a single progressive movement has ever "gone too far".

Cant wait to finish all my cyberpunk research so I never have to read about the half baked, reductive and disability-erasing Cyborg Manifesto ever again

yes, I am setting my cyberpunk novel in East Anglia, England, and you cannot stop me

Yet another actor who's drunk from the poisoned chalice and thrown the entire trans community under the bus. Used to adore him. But fuck that guy to the sun and back.

Nicholas Hoult lands MAJOR role in season two of HBO's Harry Potter

The highly anticipated first season of HBO's reboot of Harry Potter has yet to be released.

The Harry Potter industrial complex is desperate to convert more people into paying fans to plug the gap that's grown in the wake of JKR's psychotic spiral. The desperate actions of a franchise in its death throes. The writing is on the wall.

Sometimes the writing comes easy, communicating with the divine. Other times, peeling your own skin off like a body glove feels preferable.

Rewatching Hackers for Zero Cool Day and hooooly shit there is trans energy BURSTING from this show.

Most video games only give you XP when you succeed at things, but in real life, it's usually the failures that give you the kind of experience that lets you level up. I've come to see "failure" as a gift of experience instead of a misfortune.

Transitioning didn’t cure my disordered eating, but now at least I can comfort myself after a binge that the added pounds will go to my boobs.
