There's definitely a good parody in there. Get Parker Posey on the phone.

I will vote for this too, especially if it means making sure Ryan Murphy isn't allowed to make more than one show at a time.

It's so weird to me that they make it to market with those titles.

Out of curiosity, I went and did an IMDB search, and stopped counting at 18.

Also, The Hunters and The Hunted clearly need to be retired for a while.

I've been dealing with a low grade obsession with the film and the real life story since. I'm writing a long piece about the film now, in hopes that may help finally put it to rest.

Cheap Thrills is not a true story, but absolutely could be 😂

Then I'm happy I didn't tag her, but I'm glad this shitheel is going to deal with some consequences for his shitheel ways, and maybe won't be able to keep harassing her. 😂

We should really call a moratorium on The Hunt as a title for film or television. Aren't there at least 9 of them at this point. Just saw a new one popped up on Apple+. There's got to be another title that would suit.

Thank y’all

Pat Healy | Actor, Writer, Director Known for: Killers of the Flower Moon, Better Call Saul, The Innkeepers

Pat Healy has given two really excellent performances in two criminally under seen movies. Compliance and Cheap Thrills. From just those two roles alone, it suggests the guy is pretty courageous as an actor. Part of that long line of great character actors in film.

reminiscing about a review that claimed "The dialogue makes you read between the lines" which was Bad.

The exact people who most need a decent therapist are going to be the ones most harmed by these exact claims. Terrifying.

Republicans have blamed the media for the bottom dropping out of public opinion of the Vietnam war, ever since. Their position is, 100%, the public should not know how many people die in the wars we start. It's why GW Bush changed the rules for press embedding w/military.

Capitol rioter arrested for assault, battery on Metro One woman says the suspect has stalked her and threatened her for a couple of years.

So, I can't remember who it was (apologies), but someone posted the video recently saying this chucklefuck touching women's hair on public transit was their stalker. Good news. He's been arrested, because he posted the evidence on the internet. 😂😂😂😂

I’m just real, real tired of old white people who think the world owes them attention and adoration for the whole of their lives. The spotlight moves on, and it’s good for everyone that it does.

I’ve been trying to approach horror films from the standpoint of asking, “What are audiences reacting to?” especially in those that hit that combination of box office return, critical and audience response. I figure they are always relating to existing narratives, “Which ones?” is the question.

Thank you Matt.

Fictional mythologies of national identity, and how that interacts with masculinity, are central to 28 Years Later. As British as this film is, these aspects are universal, and Danny Boyle and Alex Garland have some interesting things to say. Free, as always.

Power, Responsibility and Democracy: Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria in 2025 | Alex Pagliuca Get more from Alex Pagliuca on Patreon

Using a dance school, and a coven of witches, set in post WWII Germany, Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria as metaphor is a meditation on how democracies falter, and how people with power in them falter and fail. One of the 21st century's most dense, interesting horror films
