Few things are more irritating than when watching a series, like ‘Kolchak, The Night Stalker’ on Youtube and the available episodes don’t have Gil Mellé’s brilliant opening theme. That’s like an ‘X-Files’ episode without the music of Mark Snow. #kolchakthenightstalker #gilmelle #xfiles #marksnow

One of my better written commentaries, I think. youtube.com/post/UgkxJjR...

The teaser for 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' is amazing and does everything the 'Superman' trailer tried to do, but wasn't quite so successful at. #fantasticfourfirststeps #trailer #reaction #marvelstudios #superheroes youtu.be/7bB8lQJpFo0?...

Screenphiles is on the cusp of 600 subscribers! Onward and upward!

What's the logic behind which movies Netflix blocks for viewers that choose the base plan? 'Clown' from 2014 and 'No Escape' from 2015 are blocked why? Not that I'm interested in either (and I've seen the former already) though I'm curious. #netflix #clown #noescape

I have never seen so many formatting errors (as well as the occasional misspelling) in a single article before. I'm just wondering when are people going to be the least bit embarrassed. #thehollywoodreporter #formatting #errors www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

One of the many interesting things about ‘Squid Game 2’ is an emphasis on the ‘proletariat’ because everyone knows the elites are boring.

Netflix’s ‘Squid Game’ Season Two - Episode 1: ‘Bread and Lottery,’ is the first episode of the series thus far to lightly touch upon a horror genre of another type (it's been pretty much ‘Battle Royale’ in S1. Where Season Two goes is more speculative now). #interestinger #squidgame

Is there a movie or series in 2024 that doesn’t feature Pedro Pascal? I’m not implying that he’s not a good actor or person (as far as the latter is concerned, I don’t know him) but he’s taking way too much oxygen for a single individual. #actors #pedropascal

Fede Alvarez's 'Alien: Romulus' was very well received and while it does have its pleasures, it's not as good as a lot of people would like you to believe. youtu.be/KlWNB54UIHw #genre #horror #movies #scifi #alienromulus #fedealvarez

Based on the trailers for James Gunn's Superman – admittedly teasers – feel like he might be taking to wrong approach to this character. In fact, I think that they reveal too much and I would have went with just the new 'S' logo for the first.

The teaser for James Gunn's 'Superman' by my reckoning isn't a great teaser. It's too chaotic by half. #superman #jamesgunn youtu.be/t3P3RwpmjI4

Peter Yates' 'Krull' (1983) is necessarily what I'd call a 'good' movie though it is damn entertaining. youtu.be/DWyKfFHVtx8

Michael Mann's 'The Keep' is finally available for at-home viewing! It's coming to Blu-ray via Vinegar Syndrome and while I wouldn't call it a great movie, it's certainly worth seeing. #michaelmann #thekeep #vinegarsyndrome youtu.be/JYZ3T9PNIn8

A few days ago Hulu released a teaser for 'Alien: Earth' and it looks like there's a lot of potential. Which is a good thing because 'Alien: Romulus' was just okay and Ridley Scott seems not to know how to leave well enough alone. #hulu #alienearth #fedealvarez #ridleyscott youtu.be/bRRJ4Jz8e7I

Vietnam soldiers fighting dinosaurs? I'm all in though I think the dinosaurs might be in too deep. youtu.be/4_4Q-fg9cPI #primitivewar #dinosaurs #movie #firstlook #officialtrailer

'How To Kill Monsters' sounds like it could be a lot of fun. #genre #horror #upcoming #monsters #howtokillmonsters youtu.be/zLlBvP5MZz4?...

I didn't much like the first 'Street Trash' because it's easy to pick on the powerless, though the remake seems to have loftier ambitions. youtu.be/YvSPUasvbi4 #movies #genre #horror #streettrash #satire

Who's asking for a horror-centric version of 'Popeye' again? Now, maybe it's the greatest thing since sliced bread though if the trailer is any indicator, I doubt it. #shivermetimbers #popeye #horrormovies youtu.be/PvmK8C2DWeo

I'm not sure why Bryan Bertino's 'The Strangers' needs a sequel, never mind a trilogy, but I have to admit that this looks fascinating. youtu.be/5AAbKAJ_UXw?...
