I'll say this for ONE NIGHT ONLY, it's been bananas for finding people who just can't hold onto their hot takes for even a single god-damn day, much less opening weekend. Buh bye

It's a comfort to know that even if everything falls apart I'll still get my daily fundraising plea from Josh Shapiro. This must be what seeing Old Faithful go off feels like

I'd rather flush my money down the toilet than give it to any Democrat who sends this bullshit and won't stop even when asked, repeatedly
Matt Zoller Seitz@mattzollerseitz.bsky.social · last mo.Ossoff's fundraising people, however, have got to throw away the whiny, poor-mouth playbook that has been a disaster for Democrats. Makes him look like a loser. Always in a crisis. Always begging. Come on, now. Make your guy look strong and confident! @ossoff.senate.gov @ossoff.bsky.social
the sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel and everyone agreed that was a massive improvement
Saw EVIL DEAD BURN and it was _just_ what I needed: squirmy and goopy and nasty, as a family that is barely keeping it together finally pulls the plug and gets everything out into the open. Special mention for Erroll Shand just sitting there oozing "daddy's had a hard day" for 20 minutes straight.
I've been reading Neuromancer again with 20y of adulting under me since I last read it Still have NFI what "You are too much the artiste" is meant to even fucking mean
if you can't say anything awful about Graham don't say anything at all
Kudos to The Last Drive-In for being the only outlet I've ever heard pronounce "Demi Moore" correctly. #TheLastDriveIn
It's been a hot minute since the discussion on a film has been as spoilery as that for EVIL DEAD BURN, mostly around it being "mean", which is a shame, because I've been jonesing pretty hard for something upsetting and mean to watch.
The Bear but the restaurant is a single plucky food truck. Regular cast of 2 or 3, but keep Oliver Platt, always furious about his five hundred buck investment
Me on a date or some other socially charged situation Them: So, tell me about yourself Me: The Chupacabra is allegedly a cryptid but in fact we know that it's from someone seeing SPECIES and imagined they saw the creature from the movie
For this week’s Silent Sundays I wrote about the silent slapstick comedy roots of “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose,” which may well be the best episode of The X-Files.

can't wait for the Nolan Odyssey spoilers discourse
when you are tired of toy story movies you are tired of life i will not be taking questions at this time
I chanced upon STOP! THAT! TRAIN! while looking for something to see tonight other than DISCLOSURE DAY, and I'm pretty sure I had a better time, even if both trailers are sufficient to feel like I'd seen the movie already.
hah hah, mail from Umbrella tells me that the Exit 8 collector's edition disc comes in five variants, two of them rare. Bravo, well done you devious SOBs why is my wallet suddenly open
find someone who looks at you like ash looks at a baby xenomorph
everyone screaming for The D but there are plenty to go around it was ever thus
A shower thought, 15 hours after my shower: Bill Paxton could've played The Dude just fine Prove me wrong

Well if we're posting #StokerCon hauls, all of these books at least traveled with me, most of them acquired at the con or signed there:
StokerCon had me at "hello"; I've amassed a dragon's hoard of book and film recommendations, several bookcases worth of actual *new books* (and a zine!), a lifetime of memories and a handful of new friends I can't wait to see again next year.
Goal for #StokerCon day 3: hallway track a little more, meet more people. Programming is still very very strong of course. Maybe one last trip down to the dealers' room...
