Album Review : Converge - Love Is Not Enough (2026) — Dead End Follies Love may not be enough, but Converge still is.

Man, Shelby Oaks would’ve been such a better movie with better production value. The CGI is tragic #ShelbyOaks #MovieSky #FilmSky

A User-Friendly Guide to Unlistenable Music, Vol. 1 — Dead End Follies At some point, the question stops being "Is this music?" and becomes "what does it say about me that I choose to listen to this?"

Movie Review : Pillion (2026) — Dead End Follies We talk about self-discovery as if it’s excavation, but sometimes it’s submission. Letting someone else tell you what you’ve been all along.

This was both super niche and oddly relatable www.deadendfollies.com/blog/movie-r... #MovieSky #FilmSky #Pillion

Movie Review : Anemone (2025) — Dead End Follies Anemone maybe is national epic, a family tragedy, and a psychological horror all at once, but in the end, it’s just two old men talking to one another and the rest of us are left eavesdropping

Well shit, this was… not that good 😵‍💫 www.deadendfollies.com/blog/movie-r... #MovieSky #FilmSky

Book Review : Charlene Elsby - Poor Damned Souls (2026) — Dead End Follies This isn’t exactly a novel about violence; it’s a novel about watching yourself become someone capable of it.

Sheesh, this is Charlene Elsby’s nastiest work if you can beliece that www.deadendfollies.com/blog/book-re... #BookSky #Horror

Let’s make a new rule. If you’re a billionaire, you can’t ever complain about the world. It has worked obscenely well for you

Movie Review : Civil War (2024) — Dead End Follies If Civil War did nothing for you, that tells me everything I need to know about how you watch movies.

Well, shit. This was considerably better than advertised www.deadendfollies.com/blog/movie-r... #MovieSky #FilmSky #CivilWar #AlexGarland

I’d like to use this platform to tell the people working to promote the game Royal Kingdom that your ads are the bane of my existence. I’d rather close the fucking game and stop playing than getting whatever shit bonus sitting your unending shitshow entails.

Carcass has a song called Malignant Defecation. That sounds like a title Weird Al would come up with if he actually knew about goregrind

A Subjective History of Goregrind — Dead End Follies Goregrind proves that music doesn’t have to be human to be unforgettable.

Movie Review : Him (2025) — Dead End Follies Him isn’t a bad movie with interesting ideas, it’s an interesting idea that never survived becoming a movie.

I’m very appalled at the lack of outrage at the Epstein files from the right. They clamored for it, it was everything they wanted and then some. Where is rah rah spirit now?

I am SO uninterested in Wrestlemania now. At least Jacob Fatu brought a grudge element to it

All of this to give Roman Reigns the title again. Turbo lame #WWE #RoyalRumble

Gunther entering the Rumble and shopping himself a meaningful beef (perhaps with Reigns) is the most interesting thing that happened tonight #WWE #RoyalRumble

At this rate, they’re keeping Evans in for other superstars to flex on him #WWE #RoyalRumble

I was on onboard with his vision storyline, but it would feel shoehorned to death
