Nice place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there. #horrorsky

Everybody celebrates in their own way. Here is the first of 4 Pride themed video shows I put together for 2025. All retro and upscaled and remastered. New shows added each Monday in June. vimeo.com/1091054028/2... #lgtbq #pride #vj #retro #musicvideo

Celebrating pride with this first show, Icons & Idols ‘25. vimeo.com/1091054028/2...

Here- first teaser. Much more to come…

Wow. Microsoft is increasing its subscription fee from 79 to 115! And for what? Unwanted AI bull. Guess I’ll be looking for a new app. #microsoft #ouch #buh-bye

Because it wasn’t Adrienne Barbeau’s birthday. #80shorror #indiefilm #horrorsky

Hopefully just being a Republican will be like Superman holding kryptonite in the very near future. Proud of these young people. They are braver than they know.

So. A prequel for Event Horizon. Yeah, I would. #horrorsky #horrorscifi #neversaynever

Deep Red is on my screen tonight. Love love love the look of this film. #horrorsky #horrormovies #horrorfan

🤣🦅🤣

I wasn’t expecting the Milli Vanilli doc to have such a rich emotional payoff. If you’re a pop music fan (of a certain age) you owe it to yourself to see this. #millivanilli #popmusic #documentary #musicdoc

Watched Stranger Than Fiction again last night and was taken aback (again) by how great Will Ferrell is in his part. Truly a remarkable performance. And when Queen Latifah walks in, it’s like a beautiful cool breeze of a hot summer day. Sooo good! #unexpectedbrilliance #moviesky

Catching up on some S. King adaptations. Last night was It Chapter Two and today it’s Doctor Sleep. #horrorsky #stephenkingadaptations #horror #horrormovies #sequels #horror #horrorfan

Massive march in New York today to protect migrants and protect the planet #april19

Well I missed saying I missed the presence of Shirley Walker’s score in Final Destination 3 & 4. The films don’t stack up so well when binged, but the formula of a ‘sympathetic male lead’ seems to work best in my opinion. #horrorsky #horrormivies #horror #physicalmedia #finaldestination

Dem’s project 2029 part 6

They say you can get there from here. I’m going in. Final Destination Part 3 tonight. Parts 1 & 2 were last night. I love these movies and Shirley Walker’s scores are incredible! #horrorsky #horrormovies #finaldestination #nowshowing #physicalmedia

Last night I saved the best for last, Vanessa. Alien movies just aren’t interesting to me w/o Ripley. I forgot how creepy and stunning the original is, esp. in 4K. #horrorsky #alien #horrormovies #horrorfan #physicalmedia

Watched “Lost Souls” for the first time over the weekend and I suppose I should say I’m a little lost as to why the fan base for this film isn’t larger. Beautiful to behold, with great attention to visual details and with admirable performances all around. The end was chilling. #horrorsky #horror

I love this performance! More of Charles S. Dutton from last night’s screening of Alien3. Tonight is the next one, Alien Resurrection. “I’m the monster’s mother.” Wish me luck. #horrorsky #horrormovies #alienseries #alien3 #charlessdutton

It came, and I can’t wait to dive in! #horrorfiction #horrorsky #sgj.bsky.social #horror #buffalohunterhunter #booksky

Alien3 is on my screen tonight. Fincher’s gorgeous film is my favourite, after the original. The cinematography is a sepia delight. #horrorsky #alienseries #alien3 #horrormovies #horror-scifi

Sunday Sermon

Ever notice how anti-DEI folks lift up some of the least qualified people, proving why DEI matters? Obama went to Harvard and taught constitutional law at U Chicago; now we get a guy who can’t grasp high school economics. Yet we hear nonstop about diversity hires. Seen in a Toronto Star headline.

As soon as I get home from work I’m going to listen to Blondie’s Eat to the Beat and be thankful for the incredible body of work that band (and Clem Burke) have gifted to us. #blondie #greatmusic #bestdrummereverprobably

Kristen Davis and those huge glasses. I can’t unsee the image and I can’t unhear that flaccid dialogue. I didn’t make it through Doom Asylum. Sorry. I suppose I was not in the mood or I am a snob. Maybe both. Oh look! A Led Zeppelin doc! #horrorsky

Rocky Horror is always a great distraction. They really worked miracles with the audio mix on the blu ray. Lots of unexpected surprises, especially in the vocal mix of Over At The Frankenstein Place. #physicalmedia #rockyhorror #horrorsky #70smovies #musical

The media noticed #handsoff #protest 📰🗞️

Want to know why millions of us marched in #HandsOff protests today Because-over and over again Donald Trump has proven he’s a tyrant Revoking the visas of students who are in America legally -Without reason -Without warning -Without due process As unAmerican as it gets

Now playing: Rose Byrne effing kills it in this movie. With Nick Cage too. “Knowing” from 2009. Also some great/complex interior design choices. You could say I’m double doom scrolling. #doomscrolling #aahtheapocalypse #apocalypsemovies #nothorrorbuthorrific

What you missed that I watched… Solace (2015) Hannibal (2001) Monster Hunter (2020) Slugs (couldn’t get through it) 1988 Village of the Damned (1995) #horrorsky #nowplayingpasttense #horrormovies

Saw Tindersticks tonight in Toronto. I can’t believe I got to see them. One of my favourite bands introduced to me by the friend who took me to tonight’s show. My pics are awful so use your imagination. 2 hours. No video, no dancers. Just great music. Thanks, T! #tindersticks #concert #toronto

Burner phones are not the solution. Stay home. Don’t go there.

It should come as no surprise that Canada Dry is owned by an American company. Have a nicer day. #canada #notcanadian

m.youtube.com/watch?v=N8d7... Only in Canada. Only on the CBC. #canada #cancon #cbc #70smusic #lgtbq+

Fulci on my screen. Tonight it’s The Black Cat. My high hopes aren’t. But with names like Mimsy and Dagmar in the cast, ya never know. Here’s an innocuous, non-spoiler screen grab. #horrorsky #fulci #horrormovies #80shorror

Today, we celebrate and uplift our transgender family, friends, and neighbors, and stand strong in our commitment to making our city a home for everyone. 🏳️‍⚧️ #TransDayofVisibility

Second feature tonight was The Evil from 1978. Hands down my favourite haunted house movie of all time. Except for the ending, there’s not a lot I would change. #horrorsky #70shorror #hauntedhouse #ghosts #horrormovie #violentpoltergeist

Paranormal Activity is on my screen tonight. I’ve only seen it once before and have good memories. The leads are great. #horrorsky #horror #horrormovies #paranormalactivity

I appreciate Katie Hobbs doing this.

Followed Ft13th with Scanners on the screen and followed that with Scanners II: the New Order and I’m at a scene with “Pop Goes the World” by Men Without Hats playing in the background. #horrorsky #canadianhorror #horrormovies #90shorror #canada

The original Friday the 13th was on my screen tonight in alarmingly clear and bright 4K. I still tense up when Adrienne King snaps that twig and throws it on the fire. Yeah, that’ll really help. #horrorsky #horrormovies #80shorror #physicalmedia

Maybe a good place to start would be to remove all spectacle from the realm of politics. It should be serious, maybe even somber. De-escalate the show biz BS and leave that for real celebrities.

A different Fulci wins because my previous options both featured a Farrow sister in the lead and, yeah, not tonight. Instead? City of the Living Dead, a masterpiece in voice acting. #horrorsky #horrormovies #italianhorror #80shorror #youmaywantashowerafter #fulci #physicalmedia

Musk is trying to buy votes in Wisconsin. Resend this if you’re from Wisconsin and you’re not for sale.
