It’s brilliantly done, but I could see this triggering someone easily

Early candidate for best villain of the year; if I saw this kid* in the streets, it’s on sight 😤

(*= the character, not the actor lol)

A ★★★★★ review of The Plague (2025) Wow, what a brilliant lil film. A coming-of-age story that gets under your skin in the most specific way. The casting of these kids, the writing of their dialogue/interactions, omg the soundtrack, nai...

I love how specific, yet universal THE PLAGUE is. Those that don’t consider this a horror movie haven’t experienced this specific coming-of-age and should consider themselves lucky 😥 #FilmSky

A young woman lays on red carpet next to a pink flower, her hair mirroring the fallen petals

A person straddles another person in bed, raising a weapon to attack

A group of people dancing, writhing, and touching each other shot from overhead

A gal and a large man have a showdown in a grass field, lit with eerie fog

A ★★★★ review of Hedda (2025) I’m a simple man: give me Tessa Thompson as a disaster bisexual throwing a hedonistic sabotage party, I’m gonna have a good time. This movie is loose but not sloppy, catty without being annoying. Deli...

Gatsby parties are out, HEDDA parties are in 😏 While it’s cool seeing Nia DaCosta doing big budget franchise movies, I’d rather see her churn one of these bad boys every other year. A sexy fun time! #FilmSky

I said what I said! Moira Kelly is solid, but she doesn’t quite have that Donna vibe behind the eyes. It’s hard to describe haha

“Fire Walk With Me Except It's With The Real Donna” written in the Twin Peaks Font, in front of the Twin Peaks sign

My most passionate Twin Peaks take, justice for Lara Flynn Boyle

I can't sleep.

This snippet is HAUNTING ME.

I eagerly await march 6th for the complete track drop

Holy shit, 300 episodes 🤯 been doing this show for half a decade and it’s the best it’s ever been? Talk about a grower not a shower! It’s also taken me that long to actually read one single novel for the pod 😂

YouTube video by NPR Music Buddy Guy: Tiny Desk Concert

Buddy Guy & Miles Caton perfroming “Travelin” and “I Lied to You” from the SINNERS original soundtrack is must see 🔥

So many talented writers starving for work and yet the maniac rapist gets hired

An interaction on Instagram in the comments of a post about THE LOST BOYS musical: _daddydisco 2h @sasquatchvov it was already queer directed by a queer man. A guy meets a group of other dude vampires and he becomes seduced by the blonde leader. I'm still not sure how y'all are so media illiterate Reply sasquatchvov 2h _daddydisco only in your weird pervert brain, you want everything to be about you sooooo bad to make up fake scenarios just to help cope with your horrible life hahaha Reply _daddydisco 2h @sasquatchvov nothing perverted about it. A gay director made a gay movie, it's not that hard to wrap your brain around lol Reply sasquatchov 50m @_daddydisco whatever helps you sleep pervert Reply Hide replies

Ok yes, you are so true. But like, I’m fried 😂

Somebody stop me from arguing with the dumb dumbs on Instagram that THE LOST BOYS is queer 😂

His performance is definitely giving Debbie Salt. I’m more referring to the secret relatives and the Stab shrine theater feeling like a Scooby Doo location haha

We have Becky 3 coming before Happy Death Day, Tr33 😭

The third act is so silly, gives me Scream 3 vibes which I love. My biggest hang-up is it coulda utilized New York more as a location, which was a random choice to begin with haha

eventually one of the Mortal Kombat movies will explain the K in Kombat.

I feel we’ve gotten so many split personality movies, we’ve gotten further away from adapting DJ/MH directly

I had a pitch on Twitter for a new DJ & MH film by Jordan Peele (or myself), diving into the aspect of being a black men where you’re conflicted on representing your heritage vs conforming. Think SORRY TO BOTHER YOU in tone. It would star Coleman Domingo if I had the choice
