House of 1000 Corpses: A Horror Goliath That Falls Short House of 1000 Corpses: A Horror Goliath That Falls Short I never want to be the person who simply calls a film, bad. The art is much too subjective for blunt judgments and negativity. Even when a …

This book is all heart, and full of so much information, which whether you knew it or not, its vital to diving deep into a film and a person's reaction to said film. Both vitally important.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

The first being The Living Dead and then Pay The Piper. These are brilliant books, but this, this book.

This is the best Romero related project @danielkraus.com has done.

This will make you see the film differently, and will probably inspire other authors to find their film that makes them click.

Seriously this is awesome. None of the local indie shops had it in this town, but ordered it from my fav, and then bought it digitally.

George Romero is my ultimate hero, and Daniel has gotten to help bring two brilliant books to life that Romero left behind unfinished. (1/2)

The Bride! Was Never Going To Be A Box Office Smash – It Was Always Going To Be Your New Favorite Movie - SlashFilm Maggie Gyllenhaal's big swing directorial effort The Bride! was never going to be a box office success. It's something much more valuable.

The Bride! was always going to become a barometer film that people use to make judgment calls about someone, rather than actually engaging to learn why they feel the way they do. As such, I know that I should explain myself further, but... I would prefer not to.

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.

But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

I work at a horror-centric entertainment company where way more than half of the writers and staff including owners and execs are women.
