Are you feeling confused today about whether or not it is OK to bomb a school or hospital that actually has kids and patients in them? Regardless of what race or religion of people those kids and vulnerable people belong to?

SCREAM 7 is like an SNL gag: Interminable. One-note. Obvious.

We are all of us trying to hide who we are. Those the least honest about that are the ones you need to worry about the most.

Hearing a lot of dire shit about Max Landis today and I just want to jump in to say he should eat a bag of dicks in whatever room in Hell they have reserved for his dad.

I had dinner once with Harlan Ellison and Dan Simmons, two difficult and prickly men though Harlan was king then and Dan was still the up-and-comer. I was mostly just a fly on the wall - fresh from Ellison's writing class. Later, I did some work on a project (kind of) with Simmons... he had changed.

Dan Simmons died. I have a lot of conflicting thoughts about this and an interesting story that I don't know if I should ever share. Anyways.

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that?

And then they grew up to be even worse?

A yellow square graphic with the words "Feeling Seen" in the center. Film cels around these words show comics-style close ups of eyes, as well as frames from the film BARTON FINK (John Turturro in a suit and glasses pointing angrily to his own head; Turturro at a desk, writing in a notepad under a desk lamp). On the left side of the image, there is a large, red-tinted head shot of filmmaker Walter Chaw.

When @mangiotto.bsky.social sent us his character pick for this week's episode of Feeling Seen, he asked "...too obvious?" Always a good sign. Fans of the cinema arts, you gotta hear the singular film critic Walter Chaw and @jorcru.bsky.social talk about BARTON FINK.
