Is it an adhd thing to never want to tick the “don’t show me this again” box on even the most annoying app reminders? I don’t know the future; maybe I’ll desperately want whatever thing I’m currently dismissing but not even remember it’s a possibility…
Checking a detail of a short film I worked on and look what the second result is if you search “bald” on imdb!
I saw a deeply creepy reel on instagram announcing a new ai/robotic “companion”. I had the same response I’m sure most of you fine people will have had. So I made this. (Trigger warning: I used some ropey “free” ai in there. Sorry.)
Next Thursday I get to subject audiences to a favourite wtf movie of mine, courtesy of the generous hospitality of the lovely folks at My Eyes! My Eyes! It’s sort of a secret title but not really. I’ll also be making a clip show to go with it!

Pitch for a TV series: A single camera, local government drama about the newly elected mayor (and the subsequent administrations- I see this thing as multi season) trying to deal with the Jason “situation” in the quiet hamlet of Crystal Lake. Kind of like if Friday the 13th did Shin Godzilla.
I think I’m stuck in traffic behind the dead wife of Kazuhiko Amamiya! #ExtremelyNicheReferences #IExplainItInTheAltText,IfYouWereWonderingWhatTheFuckI’mOnAbout
It’s not historically accurate unless you get to drink the in-use preservation fluid with a friend. A friend you then have sent to the gulag because, while off his face on Leninade, he confides in you that he thinks your wife is hot?
Radio 6 was playing Juice Newton’s Angel of the morning as I was driving today and I think the lyrics are “Just call me angel of the morning (angel) Just touch my teeth before you leave me, baby” How weird. (I am not looking to be corrected.)
I’m very excited to discover Jan Kounen has a new film out but what an incredibly brusque synopsis!

Let me tell you something about Cuba. US officials are constantly saying "socialism in Cuba is a failure". But in fact Cuba's achievements with socialism are extremely impressive:

First peek at the creature we built for the upcoming Hungry!
Yay, first Nancy the hippo and now our Dolly is getting seen! Terrific!
Bloody Disgusting@bloody-disgusting.com · 7mo ago1970s throwback DOLLY has been Rated R for "strong violence, gore, grisly images, language and some nudity." Shot on 16mm film, the story centers on Macy, a young woman fighting for survival after being taken by a deranged, monstrous figure intent on raising her as their child.
Good morning! Here are a few torn fingernails, some of the appliances I designed and sculpted for the movie The Man in my Basement, directed by Nadia Latif. The pieces were beautifully applied by Elly Suggit.
Did you know that Lionel Richie is the patron saint of poorly-maintained digital signage and will appear, like Jesus on burnt toast, to point out areas requiring attention…
This is very exciting, also it looks like it was made very specifically for me!

The way you can remember the difference is that INteriception is the ability to tell what is going on IN your body, whereas whereas PROprioception is thus made because is is viewed as PROfessional to not keep dropping stuff and bumping into shit.
I feel like I’ve just had an epiphany: Needing to know and speak aloud the name of a Demon in order to exercise it is a one-to-one parallel with identifying and working through trauma… Has this been blindingly obvious to everyone the entire time and I’m just very late to the party?
Stopping for a snack at work and biting a block of surprisingly firm Manchego with such vigour that I damage my gum and now it’s got a bit of blood on it like when my dog can’t control his excitement and tears apart a stuffed toy. I resolve to judge him less.
Very exciting to be attached to a project a the inaugural Berlin Frontières, even more so that it's a "Bosnian, PTSD folk horror"!! variety.com/2025/film/gl...
