I deserve kudos for somehow killing the pretentious pedant in me at the other night's film club discussion in which people were talking about which Nosferatu is better, "the old Nosferatu" (Murnau) or "the new Nosferatu," (Eggers) while failing to recognize "the 'Janus Films' Nosferatu" (Herzog).

You tell 'em, disinterested Go Nagai dressed as Dracula!

Product idea: caps lock key with Brian Blessed’s face on it

Realizing that, at some point in the last few months, I actually have heard "Choosin' Texas." It made so little an impression that I didn’t realize it was the same song as the one currently dominating the zeitgeist and/or discourse. It's Halloween. Somebody make a "Choosin' Hexes" parody cover.

I hate AI-generated Rumpelstiltskin. He's the fucking worst. Hoping he tears himself in half the hard way just like in the real fairy tale.

The political challenge of my adulthood is that, every 7-8 years, something takes a sledgehammer to one of the pillars of the postwar consensus and roughly doubles the ambient apathy / despair / solipsism of a system that requires true believers to operate.

One time I dreamed there was a new horror movie named Cernino about like a pumpkinheaded imp running around. And a huge viral Tweet-turned-meme was like: Alan 👨 Melvin 👨 Jeffrey 👨 Trent 👨 Cernino 🎃

Howard V. Brown did a lot of great 1930s pulp sci-fi magazine covers. Nevertheless, his June 1924 cover to "Scientific American" might be my favorite work of his, despite not actually being science fiction. I love the nonchalant surrealism.

The season finale you can’t miss. With the answers you want. The X-Files season finale. Tonight. Then Tuesday it’s GARGANTUA!

Species linguistic aptitude was determined during the collapse of Babel. Near the tower base were the mute fish and lizards; then chittering things, prairies dogs, whales, corvids, parrots. Men were very high—but there were creatures above us

ROAD RASH ELECTRONIC ARTS 1991 GENESIS

SHIVERS - The road ascends; a raised motorway loops above the ghetto. Beneath its concrete columns -- a sea of rooftops, woodwork, and tar stretches northward. Four-story buildings as far as the rain can fall. The snows melt in Jamrock.

I've made the "October 3rd" reference for a few years but I only actually got around to watching Mean Girls (2004) last year. I was surprised to see that it ends the same way that Mortal Kombat (1995) does.

I don't mean by the (imagined) Fatality (from the bus). I guess more accurately, "to HEAR that it ends the same way as Mortal Kombat (1995)". That's the same tune, Orbital's "Halcyon + On + On", which I guess I remember its name as it's from one of my first soundtrack CDs ever.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent
