Balerion the Cat

SotR is a devastating & brilliant book, I'm hoping the movie will capture it bc they made alot of serious mistakes with BoSaS adaptation (most recent one) 🤞It probably stands alone but I think you'd really like the original trilogy too & it's fascinating the way Collins has expanded the world

I have no idea, I completely agree with you about it looking ready to go. It's probably very cynical, with their schedule of other movies, profit, etc. The book series is SO GOOD, but the movies are hit or miss, so much of the books is interior monologue which can be hard to translate.

As soon as I saw little Ampert 😭 that movie is going to destroy me as much as the book did #SunriseOnTheReaping

Two north Texas men have been charged in relation to a plot that included invading an island off Haiti, murdering the men on the island, and using the women and children as sex slaves, announced U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs. Gavin Rivers Weisenburg, 21, of Allen, and Tanner Christopher Thomas, 20, of Argyle were named in a two-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Texas charging them with conspiracy to murder, maim, or kidnap in a foreign country and production of child pornography. Information presented in court indicates that between August 2024 and July 2025, Weisenburg and Thomas are alleged to have conspired to recruit and lead an unlawful expeditionary force to the Island of Gonave, which is part of the Republic of Haiti, for the purpose of carrying out their rape fantasies.

I keep seeing rave reviews for Strength of the Few but I thought it was really disappointing, honestly kinda amateurish 🤷 #booksky

The Will of the Many by James Islington

Strength of the Few by James Islington

On my Will of the Many reread in preparation for Strength of the Few, I forgot just how good it is

Cineverse has acquired Guillermo del Toro’s ‘PAN’S LABYRINTH’ for a 20th anniversary theatrical re-release in 2026.

Oh no 😭 im just starting it now & it sounds like im going to be disappointed

Same!

I hadn't even thought about Stephen Miller bc Mitch McConnell is always the first one that comes to my mind but you have a point lol

Guillermo del Toro - "These are Pale Man times."

Guillermo del Toro tweeting about the Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth: "The Pale Man represents all institutional evil feeding on the helpless. It's not accidental that he is a) Pale b) a Man. He's thriving now."

I rewatched my favorite movie yesterday.

What is your favorite Halloween movie?

I'm looking for recommendations bc I need to get my mind off this madness tonight. #halloween #scarymovies

I had no idea buying an appliance from Costco would be such a mess, why doesn't anything work like it's supposed to anymore? They have outside installers who are completely incompetent & I don't get it. This has been a month & my dishwasher still isn't installed 🤯

Like Halloween movies just don't compare to our reality

Anyone else getting nervous about the world we live in, particularly those of us in the US, cause...

The way Kubrick turned a book about a haunted house into an examination of a haunted country.

The Shining will always be the best horror film.

New study by Falkena et al. shows that most climate models
don’t capture the established key mechanism that can destabilize the North Atlantic subpolar gyre. Those models that get it predict abrupt subpolar gyre changes in coming decades 😳.

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

It's always a good time to read Mary Shelley's gothic classic Frankenstein, but with @realgdt.bsky.social's new adaptation hitting cinemas this week, today is an *especially* good time.

Tickets booked. Can't wait!
