To this day I am still mystified by the abnormally high doorknob in this scene from LASERBLAST (1978).

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

You're probably seeing this a lot in your feed right now. Take the time to read it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Gene Hackman Death Bodycam Footage & Autopsy Not To Be Made Public, For Now Footage & photos of Gene Hackman's dead body will not be made public for now, a New Mexico judge has ordered.

"For Now?" Jesus. This should never be released. Let us remember him for his work. The information age sucks.

i have zero interest in most modern low budget shlock because it’s doing this self conscious “haha so bad it’s good just like the 80s!” thing. but you can’t produce that intellectually. you need to be trying to make a normal movie and have it come out wrong because you’re a crazy person

This episode is sooo good.

A ★★★★★ review of Save the Children (1973) I don’t understand how this isn’t a much bigger deal. This is a newly unearthed, fully restored concert film from 1972, capturing a Black music festival with in-their-prime performances from Roberta F...

Last night I came across this newly unearthed and restored concert film from 1973 featuring performances by The Temptations, Roberta Flack (RIP), the Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye. It's on Netflix of all places, and I don't know why people aren't talking about it more: letterboxd.com/michaelmohan...

My Saturday is 10% better having discovered this wonderful funk cover of the theme to THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3lH...

GENE SIMMONS IS AN ASSHOLE BUT IS HE ALSO… MY DAD? That one time the dude from KISS said he boned my mom.

My friend Greg is the funniest writer I know. Here he dissects KISS and whether or not Gene Simmons is his father. gregheller.substack.com/p/gene-simmo...

For those of you just discovering the brilliant mind of Andrew DeYoung with his new film FRIENDSHIP, its really worth going back to check out his short films. "Now check out these dunks!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9U2...

If you're like me, and feeling pretty overwhelmed with everything that's going on in the world right now, it's worth taking 13 minutes to listen to @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social's recent op ed piece. This made me feel something I haven't felt in a long time: calm. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8QL...

A ★★★★★ review of Heart Eyes (2025) Made me feel like I was back in high school. It's I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, URBAN LEGEND, HALLOWEEN H20, but a hell of a lot more funny and self-aware. Josh's direction is so fucking sharp, and...

HEART EYES is such a fucking blast. letterboxd.com/michaelmohan...

Babygirl to Gladiator II and Conclave: The 20 best films of 2024 BBC film critics Nicholas Barber and Caryn James pick their highlights of the year.

It's cool to see people still remembering our film at the end of the year:

It’s time for a movie marathon

AI will never hold a candle to the elegant designs @creepyduckart.bsky.social comes up with.

The Scariest Horror Films of 2024 Reflected Women’s Real-Life Terror After Roe v. Wade Was Overturned: ‘You Can Revolt in Your Own Unique Way’ From 'Immaculate' to 'The Girl With the Needle,' many of the year's best horror films focus on abortion rights.

Loved speaking with William Earl at @variety.bsky.social for this:

I always point to Dean Parisot's aspect ratio shift at the end of Act 1 as the very best implementation of that stylistic device.

Martin Starr Joins Maika Monroe in ‘The Hand That Rocks the Cradle’ Remake (Exclusive) Mary Elizabeth Winstead is also starring in the 20th Century Studios feature.

Every single casting choice they have made for this film is inspired. I am so hyped for this. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Surprised by how sparse the script pages are for this sequence-- minimal description, but they get the job done. Neat to learn it was originally intended to be scored with Sinatra.

YouTube video by Screen Themes Raging Bull (1980) - Home videos montage scene [1080]

Working on an 8mm home movie montage for my new script today and revisited RAGING BULL. Still so breathtaking:

SLEEPAWAY CAMP feels like it birthed into existence through an act of divine fate. If this film holds a place in your heart like it does in mine, BJ and Harmony's book is simply essential. And if you've never seen it, rectify that immediately, and get yourself to Vidiots this week.

A ★★★★★ review of Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) After listening to The Big Picture episode titled "‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Hates You. Will You Return the Favor?" I decided to skip seeing this in theaters. Big mistake. I’m not the kind of person to ho...

I don't understand the vitriol for JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX: letterboxd.com/michaelmohan...

A very bizarre title card that appears in front of the motion picture SLEEPAWAY CAMP reading in all caps "IN FOND MEMORY OF MOM, A DOER."
