a pretty perfectly encapsulation of the need for independent media. read Defector always.

highly recommend for anyone looking for Halloween plans, one of the most truly unsettling films i've ever seen

Lia Smith, a transgender athlete who was on Middlebury's swimming and diving team, was just found dead by suicide this week.

no group more embarrassing than the dirtbag left; no grift cleaner than "we're all trying to find the people who made racism ironic", bro that is how you got famous please sit down

I grew up in Wheaton and we like to claim that we're the home of THE Elm Street because he supposedly lived off of ours when he went there (as I'm sure every town he lived in claims)

Just watched for the first time & I was thinking it's one of the most perfect illustrations of the "not what a movie is about, but how it's about it". Almost identical story (in large beats) but the format mutes the grief making it something so different from Peaks

predictably loving THE CHAIR COMPANY; this is a great piece on last night's best scene

I Missed My Mom. So I Rewatched All Nine Seasons of 'Roseanne.' Thirty-six years to the day after its debut, the sitcom is still groundbreaking — but also, now, genuinely heartbreaking ... on so many levels.

one of my favorite pieces of pop culture writing from recent years on an important show with a complex legacy

one of the best publications running today! support if you can!

jane schoenbrun's debut film about the slenderman phenomenon is playing next week as part of a fundraiser for the trans law project

it's a really provocative example of both found-footage and documentary filmmaking 👇

getting off my phone now because i've done enough damage to my brain for one Sunday morning, ending with a movie rec. MAY rips and the whole 2000's Horror collection on Criterion is a great way to spend this rainy day.

great stuff from someone smarter than me on the many other reasons massive marches actually matter. don't let the nihilists weigh us down

this is true of art and politics. i believe it is our place to welcome, educate and encourage. anything else doesn't make sense to me.

if this feels unrelated to the movies, sorry. we're trying to build a space that allows people in & helps them get deeper into their community.

so i do get taken aback by how many people on "my side" don't seem to agree those basic ideas, how many want a smaller, "cooler" group. it's sad.
