With joyfully hateful characters and the stunning Barbara Shelley, Hammer nail the killer cat caper. Tautly directed and strikingly shot. Underrated. 1961.

Remember when Post Malone lost all his street cred by having to have his movie punches in Road House added in with CGI?

The most subtle of classics, an ethereal dark romance with a haunting turn from Karloff. An exquisitely understated gem from Karl Freund. 1932.

Canadians the Ksi Lisims liquified natural gas project in British Columbia is selling us out. There is still time to tell PM @mark-carney.bsky.social to put our public money into projects that truly benefit Canadians ...not Trump's inner circle of US billionaires. #CdnPoli #BCPoli #LNG #ClimateBomb

It’s Claude Rains’ birthday
Do yourself a favour and watch James Whale’s The Invisible Man.
The sfx still hold up admirably but the greatest special effect is Rains’ truly demented & disturbing performance as Jack Griffin, relying almost totally on that wonderful voice…

Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

I would watch the hell out of the Saturday morning cartoon continuation of #PredatorBadlands, and yes, I mean that as a compliment. Another compliment: The least interesting thing about it is the fact that it's a PREDATOR movie.

I'm super excited to announce "The Negative Serpentine" will be in "A Breath of Time" by Flame Tree!
It's about an artist, her warrior wife, and (as you can guess by the anthology title) Time Shenanigans. You can check it out here: blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-goth...
