My favorite movie review of all time went like this:

“I’ll tell you what I think about it after I stop crying and immediately watch it again.”

Chick Corea - The Leprechaun

I enjoy the piano work on this one, but the jazzier segments… not so much.

Good morning. Have a great Sunday. 😁

I doth protest.

“ You’re gonna need a bigger boat ” - 15th century, Recoeil des Histoires de Troyes, KBR, ms. 9261 (Vol. I), f. 198r

It’s been fun going through these all, and now I feel properly primed to get to some of my favorite franchises. I focused on new horror movies last year… I think this season is going to be more about indulging in the classics and my favorites.

Friday the 13th Ranked A list of 10 films compiled on Letterboxd, including Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986), Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988), Friday the ...

A couple to go, but it feels complete since the original series is wrapped, so I figured I’d finally share a list here.

I’m not a huge F13 fan, but most of the films offer some fun, & I love that it’s divisive; people are so passionate about their loves/hates in the series

Movie posters for Jason Goes to Hell, 28 Years Later, Superman (2025) and Friday the 13th VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan.

One excellent bad movie and a couple good new anthology installments (but damn I wanted to love Superman like so many did) wrapped up with an actual bad movie somewhat salvaged by a badass ending (that could apply to both F13s- Hell is my bad bad one)

Yeesh. I may just skip it then; thanks. So many other good options out there, and only so much time.

Part of my issue with Silo was the differences from the book, which I usually try to ignore, but all of Solo’s got me. I was struggling with that before it really dipped, so then that was it for me.

That’s disappointing. I didn’t love S2 like I did S1, but I enjoyed Ricci still and the addition of Wood, so I was hoping all else in S3 would swing back in the right direction.

I gave up on Silo S2 maybe 2/3 of the way through for similar reasons. Odd to be so good, then SO bad so quickly.

2/2 He was active till recently when Quentin Tarantino commissioned him to paint the movie posters you see all through ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. Thanks for the movie magic on paper, Maestro, rest well 🖤

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

Letterboxd profile page featuring posters for the four favorites of: Nosferatu (2024), Hellraiser (1987), Evil Dead (2013) and Dracula (1931).

Updated my favorites to include some horror gems (a couple classic OGs from different eras, and arguably the two best remakes ever) which hadn’t ever yet been featured there. ‘Tis the season 🎃

Well thank goodness we added that starting pitching depth at the deadl— oh wait yeah ffs.

Row 1 is the toughest for sure; picking from those last 3 isn’t fun. Still, I’m a pretty solid:

-The Shining
-The Thing
-Halloween
-Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Absolutely. I used to LOVE it, but the flaws stick out more to me now. It still has great vibes and plenty of fun throughout though.

My favorite installment from the Claypool Lennon Delirium: South of Reality.

100% my favorite ever. There’s so many greats, but no one hits like George at his best. I just rewatched every HBO special last year and it was a blast.

Hard to argue with that

I’ve been on my Stranger Things rewatch binge (completed S1) and snuck in some Alien Earth this week as well, so my #LetterboxdFriday is only a #LastWatched this week.

I did not remember liking Part VII much, and it may be my second-favorite in the franchise. A very nice surprise. #FilmSky 🎥

Yeah but their “spit-kick” combo was unparalleled at the time!

Gorgeous!

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’

It was originally ‘ekename.’

‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”

Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.

Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Good morning!

Update: Season 1 is perfect, and Dustin is a goddamned national treasure.
