Letterboxd@letterboxd.social · 11h agoBoth horror and noir use heavy, stylized atmospheres to communicate otherworldly dread and terror. To celebrate the transition from Spooky Season into Noirvember, Travis Woods counts off 20 essential films that combine both genres to chilling effect. https://boxd.it/3uc
The new SCTV documentary on Netflix is a great primer if you've never watched the show and a really sweet reminder if you're a long-time fan. I found myself laughing incredibly hard at things I've seen a million times.
One of the best parts of moving to LA in 1990 was being here to see a handful of the Boingo Halloween shows. I miss them so much.

To the exasperated parent who just fished their child in a raccoon onesie out of my garbage can while telling them they had to stop diving into every can they see: you made my night 😂
Just spun the '80s Roulette wheel and this week's movie is the deeply strange CHERRY 2000.
Can't think of many things that mean less to me than Sam Altman's opinion on anything computer related.
Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · 3d agoOpenAI CEO Sam Altman says having RAM in personal computers is a ‘terrible’ use of limited resources and that it would be better utilized in data centers "From a global perspective it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their computer"

I still think the drummer in the BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER theme overdelivered more than anyone else in the '90s.
I searched my heart for sympathy and only found schadenfreude.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 4d agoNot just polymarket. $3.5 Billion in crypto has been drained through a compromise of Binance.
New episode of THE HIP POCKET drops tomorrow with our very special guest, Frank Conniff! What does the man who had to screen all of the terrible films for MST3K pick when he's able to talk about great movies? Just you wait... it's so good.
Holy shit, @kellysue.bsky.social, @davidlopez.me: @anjelaconjota.eurosky.social just read Tallulah's intro to FML (vol. 1) aloud to me and HOLY SHIT is she good.
In 2015, at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, Patrick Stewart gave his own eulogy, just in case. "He was also a husband, and a father, and a friend, but most of all, he was an objectophile who achieved sexual congress with literally thousands of inanimate objects."
Sir Patrick Stewart wants his eulogy done right

I just recorded a new audio commentary for LIFEFORCE, and you'd better believe I spent a good chunk of it talking about what an absolute legendary badass Patrick Stewart was. Terrible, terrible news.
People trying to explain to me what the release of THE PHANTOM MENACE was like is fucking crazy. You really should know who you're talking to when you try correcting people.
"The consistent message spewed by the fascists, greased and propelled relentlessly by their collaborators in tech and media, is that nothing is sacred. In their version of reality everyone is out only for themselves, everything is up for sale or ripe to be stolen, and only power rules."
Yeah, sorry, the PHANTOM MENACE backlash was immediate and ugly as shit and if you didn't notice because you were a teenager, that does not change the truth.
Zaki Hasan@zakiscorner.bsky.social · 6d agoThis is objectively, verifiably untrue.
Dudes online are doing sex macro spreadsheets and smashing their faces with hammers to impress each other and mainstream America is like we want the fifty-something with the sad eyes who cries when he holds the baby

NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...
Who made the art inside Control Resonant?
When the developers of Control Resonant needed to fill their video game version of New York City with art galleries, they tapped the talents of people they knew particularly well
