"People die around #TheMonkey in these insane ways. Oh—people died around me in these insane ways." Oz Perkins is the son of "Psycho" star Anthony Perkins and model & photographer Benny Berenson, who both lost their lives in terrible ways. We talked about finding dark humor in the unthinkable:

About, oh god, ten years ago I wrote about the lack of sex in Christopher Nolan's films. (Almost as though he inserted random self-conscious & awkward sex and nudity into OPPENHEIMER to demonstrate Hey look! I CAN do sex stuff!)

This cover is stunning. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to write about David Lynch’s Lost Highway, and interview Ryan Coogler for Sinners. It’s always such a thrill to share this space with so many incredible artists and writers. Coming to you fine folks soon!

People often assume the emotions associated with cruelty are hatred and anger, but it’s actually pleasure and joy. Fascists relish their cruelty. They roll it around on their tongue like a mouthful of full-bodied wine. They laugh as they harm.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

The biggest inaccuracy movies taught us is that villains are cool. Not talking about the moral aspects, just that they would look and act stylishly. Real world evil is so frequently dorky, schlubby and banal.

Did you know one of the major donors $$ to Creative Australia (aka Australia Council For The Arts) is the Besen Family Foundation? The Besen Foundation strongly supports Zionism & has been known to withdraw major arts funding if board decisions do not suit their world view. Isn't that fascinating?

At long last, after nearly two years, I can finally post photos of what five months of my life looked like! I’ll avoid spoilery stuff for a few more weeks, but man, this was a whole ass thing and I’m glad so many of you are enjoying it! THE GORGE is on Apple+ now!

I prefer the graphic work of James Ensor (1860-1949) to his paintings. Title of this 1895 etching is Duivels die mij sarren (Demons Taunting Me), a 19th century selfie to which we can all relate. Just another day at the creative coalface for #LesBelges

I don't think anyone is demanding that every person needs stacks of film, VHS, DVDs and Blurays but the fact is, owning physical media is the only way to guarantee access to what you wish to see in the future. We are seeing streaming getting yanked on a whim and it's only going to get worse.

I'm not doing the Trump-appointees-as-Bond-villains thing again, but with someone this stupidly evil with this stupidly evil look and the stupidly evil name of EMIL BOVE, it's really really really tempting.

@scottderrickson.bsky.social’s #TheGorge is an entertaining character study that moves through horror, romance, sci-fi & action-adventure genres. Miles Teller & Anya Taylor-Joy share a flirty chemistry. Houses a solid Reznor & Ross score too! My review via @variety.com: variety.com/2025/film/re...

I'm still puzzling over Ita Buttrose claiming in court today that ABC staff had not checked into Ms Lattouf's background in any way, and Ms Buttrose had formed no opinion of her one way or the other - but somehow Ms Buttrose knew with great certainty that Ms Lattouf was an "activist". Eh?

Trump already empowering the worst bosses to just.. ignore labor law. Whole Foods workers won their union vote, and now Whole Foods (owned by Jeff Bezos) is saying they simply won't recognize the vote because nobody is going to make them.
