This should be perma-death stuff. Don't shop at Target ever again, even if they reverse course in the future.
Marc Fischer@marc-fischer.bsky.social · 7mo agoFrom a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.
My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars: / Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform. / Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks. / Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.
How to build a radically truthful news outlet
The old ways don’t work. Time to declare war on the liars.

You're saying, WHERE THE HECK CAN I SEE BLUE MOON, EVERYONE IS SAYING HOW GOOD IT IS. Well, the Austin Film Critics Association, is hosting a screening. Maybe the best actor performance of 2025 from Hawke and all-around great movie. shorturl.at/xYUkY

Thank you Arrow Video. Still one of the most intense, disturbing, and blackly funny films I’ve ever seen. The ultimate confrontation of toxic capitalism and economic inequality for my money (lol) in cinema and an all-timer midnight movie. Tons of great new bonus features. A must-own.

Barring realizing that something awful actually happened to me a long time ago and it making me see demons tearing my life apart, I will be there. Hope to see you all there.
One Of Us@oneofus.bsky.social · 10mo agoPlease join us on Wednesday November 5th at the Violet Crown Cinema for a screening of one of my very favorite movies ever, the cerebral horror film "Jacob's Ladder" (not the crappy remake, the original of course). austin.violetcrown.com/movie/the-ro...
On this Mack Daddy of an episode, Brian is joined by @chriscoxcritic.bsky.social to take flight with FINAL DESTINATION! Also, Baby Junkfood (Zane) shares his thoughts on the whole franchise! RsKT to get on a Rocky Mountain high! #HalloweenSpirit #Aughtstober www.spreaker.com/episode/hall...
Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction. If we were a republic, I mean.
Join me tonight for the way to kick off the spooky season - watching two horror icons face off against each other on the screens at the Violet Crown Cinema! With hosts Eric and Wright and prizes for the crowd, this is not to be missed.

Tonight! I shall actually be there in my triumphant return to the real world after being at Fantastic Fest. Come out and see me, clink some glasses, have some pizza, and enjoy the heavy-metal horror that is Black Roses and the exquisite and deadly charms of the hostess Roxy Midnite! At Violet Crown!
Solid actioner from Indonesia but could have used less shaky-cam. With top-notch performers and choreographers, there's no reason to use it.

I adored this super-dark horror and you should really see it in the theater if supernatural stuff freaks you out like it does me. One of the best horror films of the year and coming out very soon.

Surprisingly, this was my jam. Switches up a lot of the story to make it a Christmas Dexter with a 'chosen one' trope. I would watch a tv series continuation of this for sure. Plus, LOTS of Nazi killing.

One of the other best films to play this years fest. What starts as a nerdy horror comedy ends up as a seriously frightening monkey's paw story where the protagonist is the moral antagonist and you root for the antagonist to come out okay (even though they are TERRIFYING and deserve awards)
