J Simpson

A small crowd of people protesting the infamous Christmas slasher flick SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (1984)

I like the styling on Stranger Things Season 5 better than other seasons but the existence of serum makes it virtually impossible to believe any of these people were alive in the '80s.

One thing to keep in mind about many of Netflix's most popular shows of the last 10 years (Stranger Things, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Wednesday) is that all feature young teenagers and young teenagers are consistently annoying as fuck.

Half Mute/Scream With A View

Album of the Day 296

Tuxedomoon - Half-Mute

Surprisingly ambient minimal wave post-punk instead of the fiery skronk fury of Tuxedomoon's typical No Wave.

Indubitably!

Trump Seizes Back the Spotlight That may not be the boon he thinks it is.

Dear @theatlantic.com,

An old man screaming paranoid, racists rants on outdated social media platforms is not news. He's only "seizing back the spotlight" because you're printing bullshit like this. Why don't you go back to printing and funding real journalism?

Super loving Blade Runner becoming real.

Feel legitimately sorry for the teams behind The Housemaid, Echo Lake, and The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Getting my pitches together now for all of the movies they're inevitably going to have to remake after butchering them in the 2010s.

Not one person, ever. (although, speaking as a free jazz lover and also a DJ, there's no better way to make people go the hell home.)

“Turkey men” - party savouries. A tomato with a face & a cucumber hat and a turkey body. My joke is that you can see all the things he is made out of

I saw this on Instagram but it doesn’t give me the recipe

Great list!

Belladonna of Sadness (1973)

Directed and co-written by Eiichi Yamamoto - BOTD in 1940

Someone really should publish Henry Darger's 10,000-page novel.

Why did we ever stop harassing Kim Kardashian about her obvious blackwashing?

A poster for the film starring Richard Harris and Charlotte Rampling: The killer whale, is one of the most intelligent creatures in the universe. Incredibly, he is the only animal other than man who kills for revenge... He has one mate, and if she is harmed by man, he will hunt down that person with a relentless, terrible vengeance-across seas, across time, across all obstacles.

Now watching: ‘Orca – the Killer Whale’, dir. Michael Anderson, 1977. A ‘Jaws’ knock-off with rather superior production and a serious cast. Lovely Morricone score. 🎥🎬

Love three of these and looking forward to the fourth.

Pro Tip: If you ever have to put in really long hours, watch behind-the-scene interviews with actors and film-makers working on shoestring budgets. It's extremely motivating.

10 Must-See Indie Horror Movies of 2025 - Soundsphere magazine 2025 has been a record year for horror movies. Such theatrical releases as Sinners and Weapons cleaned up at the box office, while others like Shelby Oaks, Frankenstein, and Good Boy brewed up plenty ...

I wrote about 10 Must-See Indie Horror Movies of 2025. My picks include Bystanders, The Plastic Men, Fey, and The Brooklyn Butcher!

Time for my annual "fuck the hackers that shut down the British Library Sounds archive" post.

Starting to think the steak and vodka guy might not be good at running a country.

Did some maths & worked out that if every one of my 12,400 followers on Bluesky was moved to buy a paperback of Villager after reading this extract, & I received the royalties from that in 2026 I still wouldn't have recouped 1/4 of the unpaid earnings my ex-publishers owed me when they went to hell.

The solution to every single one of your concerns about the impact of generative AI on creativity is solvable by massively increasing public subsidy of art and reducing housing costs. You should be able to work twenty hours a week and do your creative stuff the rest of the time and still live.

I suspect Taylor Swift is going to be in for a bit of a shock when it comes time for AOTY lists.

I rather like Landman, but the mother and daughter might be too irritating to get past.

Casting Nicolas Cage and FKA Twigs as Jesus' parents is so crazy it almost makes me want to see The Carpenter's Son.

Of all the depressing things that are depressing about One Battle After Another, of which there are many, the idea that people are still saying Bro in 2041 is up there.

Damn, this mother from One Battle After Another is a terrible mother. Which i fully support her for.
