This movie is why @chickentendi.bsky.social and I became online friends, and now we get to see it together in person in the theater! www.fangoria.com/shin-godzill...

Pride is Indie again which sucks for my human rights but should rule for our bank accounts

Best first time watches in May: CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD (2025) THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME (2025) KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE (1989) SEVEN MEN FROM NOW (1956) FIGHT OR FLIGHT (2025) ATRAGON (1963) ROOTY TOOT TOOT (1951) THE ASSASSIN (2015) BONNIE AND CLYDE (1967)

My May reading stats!

Once again, Sluggo is ahead of his time

GDT’s FRANKENSTEIN looks incredible. I love the story and I love that he’s gone back to the book in addition to the 1931 movie for inspiration. I hate that because it’s Netflix, none of us know if we will be able to see it theatrically, as clearly intended.

It’s a little difficult to see, but this headline in MOTHRA VS GODZILLA reads “Faith in Humans Shattered!” which is pretty relevant right now for me

I try not to get my hopes up too much for these things, but this will be my personality until November

Took a break to watch the trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN and HOLY SHIT

Tonight’s double feature: soulmates edition

I know there were also a million bad STAR WARS rip-offs, but ‘80s sci fi really went for it.

I drink a lot of seltzer. If I could make a four pack based on my favs across brands, it would contain: Polar’s Pink Apple and Lemon Waterloo’s Lemon Lime Wegman’s Orange Pineapple Wegman’s Peach

Godzilla’s answer to this question

Screw comfort character, who's your CONFRONT character?! Like a character you'd beat the shit out of if you had the chance

This week’s #LetterboxdFriday includes my first FINAL DESTINATION movie ever, an animated short that was also a courtroom drama, homework for PICTURES AT A REVOLUTION which is the book I’m reading for MovieJawn book club, and a preview of a future episode of @payattention007pod.bsky.social

Jason Mantzoukas is what Animal would be if Bunsen turned him into a human

I love most casts of Taskmaster, but this series’ is my favorite. True derangement in the best possible way.

Me, every time I try to put away my laundry: “Evolving to need clothes was a mistake.”

Premee is 100% right: this is why I try to call them LLMs instead in my podcasting and writing. It’s not AI in any sense of how the term has been used since the concept was invented in 1955

So excited to see Rosalie at WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?!

I’m sorry I don’t feel much pity for killing something that doesn’t need to eat or pay rent, unlike, say, artists.

I’ve always thought that the real villain of the Alien franchise is Weyland-Yutani, personified by the cold, unyielding algorithms of AI (except Bishop, my love). The Xenomorphs are just a force of nature, creatures doing what they do.

This is the level of Discourse that I am prepared to engage with

The way the narrator for Mark Harris’ PICTURES AT A REVOLUTION: FIVE MOVIES AND THE BIRTH OF NEW HOLLYWOOD audio book says Albert R. Broccoli’s name is deranged. “Brah-col-lee,” emphases on the first and last syllable.

To me, my orange cats!

MINISTRY OF TIME by Kaliane Bradley for a thriller, HUNGERSTONE by Kat Dunn and SOMEONE TO BUILD A NEST IN by John Wiswell for the sapphic monsters, BLOOD, SWEAT, AND CHROME by Kyle Buchanan for cinephiles, HAMMAJANG LUCK for sapphic heists, and WARP YOUR OWN WAY by Ryan North for Trek fans

Everything about this is a tragedy, every level, from cheated freelancers to authors obscured to readers who don’t get served either.

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know.

Writing about Godzilla will make you a better writer. Try to write 1,000 words about Godzilla as a challenge. You will quickly understand how difficult it is to write a singe sentence other than, "Godzilla is fucking awesome.".

Something really funny happening in the background of a scene to which the characters in the foreground are completely oblivious
