My wife and I both thought it was one of those rare films that would actually benefit from a modern-day remake. Its only real failing is its soundtrack. If this film had some banger '80s tunes, it probably would have been a Broadway musical by now.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Let's try one more. Remember, the book's title is "Marked for *Terror*."

DAVID CASSIDY (interior monologue): 🎤 "C'mon, get happy!"

PHOTOGRAPHER (sighs): That's a wrap.

If the United States had just one neck, make no mistake: Donald Trump would break it.

He is our Caligula.

In his new essay, Killing the Dead author John Blair reveals "why killing vampires makes people happy."

I don't know if you've seen this Superman cartoon from 1942, but I'm convinced that this is where Godzilla really comes from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Arc...

When you consider that they rotoscoped these shorts, I'd say there's a good chance that someone was actually wearing this monster costume.

...by invading Pennsylvania?

By the way, do you have any idea how far away Mobile is from Gettysburg? It's over a thousand miles. On foot.

They literally went on their own Fellowship of the Ring to preserve slavery.

I just saw 'Late Night with the Devil.' Wow. 🤯 This film's amazing! I had to watch it twice. 10 out of 10.

In a better time, this film would have won Oscars. I honestly prefer it to 'The Exorcist.' #FilmSky

TO BE A PATRIOT in Donald Trump's America is like sitting through a loved one's trial for some gruesome crime. Day after day your shame deepens as the horrifying testimony piles up, until you wonder how
you can still care about this person. Shouldn't you just accept that your beloved is beyond redemption? And yet you keep showing up, exchanging smiles and waves, hoping for some mitigating evidence to emerge—trying to believe in your country's essential decency.

This is spot-on. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
