London based filmmaker working on folk horror, weird shit, punk sci-fi satire and stuff that exudes a cosmic darkness. Progressive humane human. Obsessed with phantasmagoria, perpetually dreich. Sometimes a numpty, always the odd one out. He/him.

Pollyanna's work is incredible in this film, and I still think about the guy whose brain broke at the midnight premiere of this at Sundance. It was so effective it basically shattered this guy who started screaming at Lucky during the Q&A.

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

Got my brother to Maddy’s first encounter with Bob and it is truly insane this shit all aired on TV under something pretty explicitly NOT marketed as horror.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it

we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

When men make rape revenge movies, it's because they enjoy the violence.

When women make rape revenge movies, it's as a reaction to violence.

New GI Joe Movie In The Works, But There's A Disappointing Catch - SlashFilm Paramount is developing a new live-action G.I. Joe movie, but it’s hired Max Landis (a writer with multiple allegations of sexual misconduct) to work on it.

Paramount Skydance is anti-#MeToo. They're in with alleged sexual predators. There are so many talented writers and filmmakers out there who could make a meal of these franchises, and the studio is bouncing back to toxic sex pests like Max Landis and Brett Ratner?
