Did not a single person recommend any Octavia Butler?

I hope not. I think at this point the enduring mystery is a big part of what makes it so fascinating.

That said, audiences need to accept they play a much bigger part in this than they like to believe. Want to see more original films in the mainstream? Then get off your ass and see them in the theaters when they happen!! This ain’t fucking rocket science!

It’s true that adaptations and remakes have been a big part of cinema since the medium’s inception, but I think anybody trying to act like we aren’t in one of the biggest droughts of original storytelling the medium has ever known is being more than a little unserious.

At the end of the day that’s what it really is, we just want more variety, more of a chance for new stuff to be made and potentially hit amidst all of the business-as-usual adaptations.

It’s not all that crazy of an ask!

Shout out to Marc Maron for going scorched earth on the current rot in stand-up comedy, and an even bigger shout out to Jen Kirkman for being able to say “I told you so” as gracefully as possible after having been seven or eight years ahead of the curve on all of this.

Yeah I’m waiting to catch it on discount Tuesday on my local Alamo for the same reason.

FREAKY TALES, the film that answers the question: what if COSMIC SLOP and PULP FICTION had a baby?

Four stars.

Yet another reason I’m envious of 20th century pulp writers.

Nu Metal can also apply here.

Paul W.S. Anderson understood this, and it’s one of the many reasons EVENT HORIZON and RESIDENT EVIL stand as pristine examples of late 90s/early aughts horror.

More horror movies need to throw on a bitchin’ techno track at the top of the closing credits.

I haven't read a new Batman comic in ages, might just have to pick this TPB up and see what all the hubbub is about.

I will permit its usage in order for it to be immediately shut down, yes.

This is correct.

"Unalive" is self-censorship talk, the only reason it caught on is because of how draconian social media platforms have become when it comes to blocking anything that has a whiff of dark and/or problematic subject matter.

Reject similar terms like the virus they are.

Saw L.O.T.I.O.N. live in Tompkins Square Park today. Helluva show! They sound just as raw and heavy live, and the way their drummer pounds out the samples on his drum pad, along with just elevates the sound to another level.

A violent mashup between d-beat punk and 90s electroclash insanity.

I feel like such a stooge, but there's always a part of me that hopes one day she'll return to give us another glorious genre flick like STRANGE DAYS or NEAR DARK.

There's a precious little moment in the very beginning where you hear them realize what a commentary track is in real time, like Mila just suddenly goes "So this is the whole movie? We're watching the whole movie aright now and just giving commentary?" and Paul very patiently goes "yeah."
