My Guy, rooted in Evan Dossey's (edossmfj.bsky.social) appreciation of Guy Pearce, continues w/ a special appearance by Aly Caviness (alyravenous.bsky.social), who has Guy Pearce to blame for her marriage &, in this essay, her defense of PROMETHEUS & ALIEN: COVENANT.

Find Aly's essay in the reply.

Anyway, I seem to have found my writing brain again and wrote a guest essay for @edossmfj.bsky.socialโ€™s MY GUY column about my favorite ALIEN movies (yeah you heard me) and a small role that makes a big impression! midwestfilmjournal.com/2025/10/21/m...

Frankenstein (2025) In the introduction to The New Annotated Frankenstein (2017), Guillermo del Toro writes, โ€œAll my life, I was in love with monsters; this is a fact.โ€ It is no wonder, then, that Frankenstein (2025) isโ€ฆ

I swear Iโ€™m a smart person but a week after seeing @realgdt.bsky.socialโ€™s FRANKENSTEIN my brain has been on a constant loop of ALL ABOARDY FOR JACOB ELORDI!

As my 6-year-old says, I may have the brain rot. midwestfilmjournal.com/2025/10/17/f...

Meme - if you flip every word in "manic pixie dream girl" you get "depressive demon nightmare boy" and you think "well thank goodness THAT'S not a thing at least-" Then itโ€™s an image of the Phantom of the Opera, and Kylo Ren

@alyravenous.bsky.social writes about @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein and the fascinating way he re-interprets Shelley's original text to create his own personal spin on the iconic story about a madman trying to play mother. midwestfilmjournal.com/2025/10/17/f...

I went loooong on @realgdt.bsky.socialโ€™s FRANKENSTEIN, a movie I feel like Iโ€™ve been waiting for my whole life. Loved it, canโ€™t stop thinking about it, want to see it again ASAP

my own tweet explaining "so in this Spanish horror comic, Frankenstein's monster knocks out a woman, and I was REALLY worried, but he just wanted to try on her clothes" with screenshot of a guy named Ziv quote-tweeting me to say "This is horrendously disturbing. I am disturbed. Honestly, Priscilla, you need to back up and look at your life and think to yourself, 'Self, is this really the person I want to be?' Posting frankensteinian erotica and shit?'" with my reply "this is exactly the person I want to be" and the followup "actually it's Frankenstein's MONSTER'S Erotica"

guy got mad at me for sharing this comic on twitter back in 2017, but it's still one of my favorite exchanges. (he was not kidding, btw.)

Just thinking about how Boy Kavalier is one of the best character names Iโ€™ve ever heard. Iโ€™m really taken with Alien: Earth (and Timothy Olyphantโ€™s platinum locks, obvs)

FANTASIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS is just.... fine. My 6yo liked it a lot but I was never very thrilled or invested in anything happening, even with the baby as the driving force of the plot. THUNDERBOLTS* was Marvel's slamdunk this year yet nobody saw it, womp womp

A movie about kindness for kindnessโ€™s sake and doing your best to take care of the people you love.

Yeah, we always need PADDINGTON 2.

Catch it at 10a Tuesday at the Historic Artcraft Theatre.

In the reply, find Evan Dossey's original 2018 review as well as a ticket link.

Like many luxury items, musk came to Europe from the Far East. Derived from the Sanskrit word for testicle, "musk" refers to the glandular products of small male Asian deer. These little sacs of animal juice were harvested from the bodies of slain deer and left to dry in the sun.In its raw form, musk smells like urine, pungent and sharp. But atter being left to dry, musk develops a softer scent. The reek of ammoniaโ€ฆ (from The Ugly History of Beautiful Things by Katy Kelleher)

Everything is fucked, but yesterday 6yo came home from summer camp singing โ€œWe Will Rock You,โ€ and then โ€œGolden Yearsโ€ came on in the car, and Iโ€™m taking that as a sign that itโ€™s time to bring back Hot Knight Summer

Tweet from @tomgara

Randomly on this subject, my (Egyptian) wife had never heard of Stonehenge when I mentioned it recently, so I showed her photos of it, assuming sheโ€™d recognise the look but not the name etc, and she was just like, this is pathetic, your ancestors were small and weak
