Restarting my August watch thread so I don't subject people to a certain ice cream-related poster every time I update it... Anyway, #NowWatching a new to me Canadian slasher set in a theater!

This isn't timely, and I don't think it's even controversial, but "Wishing" and "Space Age Love Song" are both far better than "I Ran" (which is still a good time). Thank you.
Haze in the air, red sun shining overhead. Yup, it's fire season alright.
Reposting this for the nighttime crowd because there's nothing wrong with tooting your own horn if you know what I mean and I think you do.
Rob Hunter@fakerobhunter.bsky.social · 23h agoIt's true, and I'm stupidly thrilled about it, too. Have loved MISTER FROST since I first saw it in the early 90s, and I'm excited to give it new life on the page. Really hope I don't fuck it up!
Just sent out my August newsletter! I'm trying something new and including some mini reviews, so I've made this one PUBLIC! (I cropped that Stripped to Kill poster image myself bc graphic design is my passion) xtine-makepeace.kit.com/posts/xtine-...

One of the things I love about MISTER FROST is the one thing so many people hate -- the ambiguity of it all. I just think it handles that thin line really well, and I was grateful to @certifiedforgotten.com for giving me a place to write about it!
Matt Monagle@monagle.bsky.social · 22h agoHere's the piece by @fakerobhunter.bsky.social that made it happen, by the way. It's a good one!
Putting this over my office desk as inspiration. He sees me...

Echo On Publications@echohorror.com · yesterdaySo happy to welcome ROB HUNTER to Echo On Publications. He will be penning the brand new novelization to the classic MISTER FROST! 📚🔪 📚🔪🩸
Dropped the kid off at summer camp for the day, and then we went kayaking on a lazy river. Perfect morning. Thank you.
I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...
Donate to the candidates on the front lines of the fight against MAGA gerrymandering
These are anti-MAGA state candidates in *extremely* close races

Look, sometimes you start a new month of movie-watching with a film by a director you love, and sometimes you press play on Eli Roth's ICE CREAM MAN. #NowWatching
If potus actually cared "deeply about protecting our sacred monuments" he wouldn't have demolished the East Wing of the White House.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 4d agoAs far as the Reflecting Pool case goes, Jeanine Pirro is required to provide facts and evidence that hold up in a court of law. Donald Trump and Doug Burgum, while offering their takes on the matter, are not. Draw your own conclusions.
very seriously though if any outlets need help covering the upcoming It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season I'm an expert and have recapped whole seasons for other publications

A billion years ago, I hosted a podcast for Film School Rejects with a fun format, and Donato and I are bringing that back (at least temporarily) for our non-guest episodes.
Certified Forgotten@certifiedforgotten.com · 5d agoBear with us: we're tinkering with a new (old) format for the podcast this weekend.
This is a fun little diversion. Not feeling dated at all with words like SPORK, NUNCHUCK, LOVE HANDLES, BIOETHICS, and BEEPER...

Won't go so far as to say it affected early critical opinion, but the screener for THE DEVIL'S MOUTH didn't do it any favors. Three fucking watermarks, including my email address in big font across the entirety of the screen -- it's absolutely overkill for a film being dropped directly to streaming.
If you're in LA on 8/23, go see the best/most entertaining Xie Miao movie of 2026 on the big screen!

John McTiernan's THOMAS CROWNE AFFAIR is vastly superior to Norman Jewison's original, so I'm always in for the potential of remakes... and Michael B. Jordan's take looks like another winner.
Brendan Foley@thetruebrendanf.bsky.social · last wk.Hell yeah. www.youtube.com/watch?v=psg5...
Great fucking movie with two absolutely harrowing flamethrower kills.
Chris Weston@westonfront.bsky.social · 2w agoMight I also recommend "Le Vieux Fusil"...? From 1975. It is TOTALLY "Die Hard". A schlubby French Doctor is trapped in a chateau with a pack of Nazi SS Officers and he takes them out one-by-one. It's on amazon as "The Old Gun".
Awesome news! Watched this for the first time a few years back as a double feature with Yu's EVIL CAT (also a first-time watch). Love both.
Dylan Cheung@dylancheung.bsky.social · last wk.Hey, they restored Dennis Yu's The Imp, one of my favourite Hong Kong New Wave pictures.
Disagree with just about every word of @jacoboller.bsky.social's review of THE DEVIL'S MOUTH -- he does get the actors' names right, at least -- but it's so well-written and enjoyable to read that I'm sharing it anyway. www.avclub.com/the-devils-m...
The Devil's Mouth is shark weak
Strap a life vest to this wimpy cavebound creature feature, because The Devil's Mouth can barely stay afloat.
