THE SHROUDS, the latest from David Cronenberg, will exclusively premiere on @criterionchannl.bsky.social on July 8, along with a new interview with the body horror master as part of Criterion's Meet the Filmmakers series - watch an exclusive clip right here and read more on FANGORIA.com.

It’s Sidney Lumet’s birthday. Here’s Ethan Hawke attempting to tell Lumet that he has a problem with the last scene of Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead. It doesn’t end well. indiewire.com/2022/11/ethan-…

Too many vaccines in the first year?Your child is 44% more likely to survive to one year if they are vaccinated than if they are unvaccinated.

Provocative last of Fay Wray's pre-code shockers. Dark and disquieting voodoo based chiller, charged with tension and dripping in palpable dread. 1934. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Marc Maron interviewing Paul McCartney: ‘When you see The Stones, is there a part of you that wishes you’d kept the band together?’ ‘Yeah but unfortunately two of mine are dead.’

I just gestured to all of this podcast!

I told you we’d be back

The wonderful people at @arrowplayer.bsky.social let me fulfill a bucket list Blu-ray contribution dream of mine: JASON X. Now I’ve got an essay that only the raddest F13th fans will read. The ones who love JASON X as much as I do. There are dozens of us! 🖤

The latest tease for #Superman leans toward sci-fi campiness (not necessarily a bad thing), making me wonder how closely it will resemble (for better or worse) a spiritual cousin to ‘Wonder Woman 1984.’

Event organisers, riddle me this. Do you only offer your white writer guests panels on the white experience? Because clearly all they can talk about is being white, right? No? Then why would you do this to Black writers? It's 2025 and I still have to tell you fuckers that I am human.

Fuckin’ love her.

Universal’s live-action #HowToTrainYourDragon remake is a well-made, handsomely staged recreation that, production value and aspirations aside, plays like a two-hour version of ‘How to Train Your Dragon On Ice’.

Devastating.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

If you’re not a paid subscriber to The Outside Scoop, this is the kind of “can’t find it anywhere else” box office analysis you’ve been missing!

One of the funniest jokes in TV history big RIP

Jonathan Joss, known as the voice of King of the Hill's John Redcorn and recurring character Chief Ken Hotate on Parks and Recreation, has been fatally shot at 59.

You know exactly why STARMAN is undervalued in the Filmbro Stock Market. I happen to think it's in his Top 5.

John Redcorn was pretty much the only contemporary Native representation I had in comedy growing up. Probably the funniest Native character in cartoon history and a lot of that was on Jonathan Joss' pitch perfect rezzy uncle performance. RIP to one of the best to ever do it.

I said HAPPY PRIDE 🌈 Yes to kink in A GAME IN YELLOW (coming August 12 from Saga!) and yes to kink at Pride 💅 Make horror gay AF 🖤💛 www.booksamillion.com/p/9781668077...

Saw a post calling King of the Hill "reactionary propaganda." Bluesky culture really is magical.

I love when people argue with me about how drugs work because then I can be sure to incorporate feedback from internet strangers into my postgraduate level courses on how drugs work.

This is one sick class-obsessed country

The literary giant Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o (and one of my favorite authors) has passed. 😔 Wizard of the Crow is a masterpiece. He has many greats. I'm glad I got to meet him a few times (I always encouraged him to write a science fiction novel...he said he'd consider it).

Pretty cool to see my stuff in print for the first time. Available now #BookSky #Horrorsky : www.amazon.ca/ITS-DARK-THE...

Look at this gorgeous cover. Just stare at it. I am an easy mark for all things Frankenstein and I love Olson AND NewCon Press. Am I going to pick this up? I mean, did the three little piggies have hair on their chinny-chin-chin?

Beautiful. Genuinely moved by the absolute sincerity of it and the weight of choice. I thought it tied the franchise together really well, loved the return of a certain character. Submarine dive and bi-plane scenes had me on edge - Anti-God in the underworld and in the sky.

Bill 5 is a threat to endangered species, a threat to ecosystems – and so a threat to all of us. We're joining ‪@wildernews.bsky.social‬ and @ontarionature.bsky.social‬ @ Queen's Park 4-6pm to #StopBill5 ✊ Come protest the unthinkable: hastening the biodiversity crisis in our own backyard #ONpoli

The next election for CA Governor is November 2026 which means Gavin Newsom is out in January 2027.

Concerning

A lot of the political rhetoric around appealing to young men boils down to reinforcing a hierarchy where white men benefit from the unrecognized and unpaid labor of women and other marginalized people on their behalf. That hierarchy still exists but anything that threatens it must go

As ‘Shadow Force’ and ‘Fight or Flight’ struggle to crack $2 million for the weekend, ‘Thunderbolts*’ will top the Fri-Sun frame with $36 million. That will be a decent-for-Marvel 52% second-weekend drop as Disney tries to parlay good buzz to reconvert casuals back into the habit.
