Goofy title but I am extremely seated

Four years of development and it’s finally happening with the greatest team…

Guess I better get cracking on that article I wanted to write about @joshruben.bsky.social's "Winter Trilogy"...

We win!!!!!!

Soooo excited!!

Director Natalie Erika James is tackling diet culture in the trailer for her latest film, SACCHARINE, which hits theaters next month.

Sharai the Sage has some wise words for those of us creating content in this crazy world. Get ‘em @sharai.bsky.social. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

13. You want to surround yourself with people who support you. However, YOU also have to support people. If you don’t have favorite writers/podcasters/etc. then you’re failing yourself and setting yourself up for failure. How are you going to learn in a vacuum of your own content? 🕵🏾‍♀️

If AI was the wave of the future, sites wouldn't put the icon for it where you're most likely to accidentally click on it without meaning to.

Happy 15th Birthday to the best third (or first, depending who you ask) host and true furry friend! Love you Arwen!

@alicemaiomackay.bsky.social is perhaps cinema’s youngest auteur. Having made six punk-infused queer horror films in four years, the 21-year-old Australian director discusses her new ‘Buffy’-inspired feature ‘The Serpent’s Skin’. www.phantasmag.com/articles-2/a...

Admittedly, I haven’t seen Obsession yet but based on Milk and Serial (which I did see), I don’t feel optimistic for Curry Barker tackling my favorite horror franchise. Maybe I will feel differently after seeing Obsession, but I dunno…

There are just 9 more days to submit your films for consideration in our 2026 edition of CFF! TIME WILL SOON EXPIRE.

Resharing for the evening folks!

I brought this show up recently and no one knew what I was talking about. Glad to know I'm not the only one who remembers this fever dream of a show...

Did y'all know that if it weren't for silent film, Batman and The Joker might not be as they are today? The Bat (1926) and The Man Who Laughs (1928) were both inspirations to Bob Kane (also Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson in terms of The Joker).

Talking to your unseen friend? That's EVIL DEAD VERN.

That brown leafy thing in the corner? That's Evil Dead Fern.

Wanting to travel to learn more about physics? That’s EVIL DEAD CERN.

well, I said I'd do it and I did A new blog exclusively for reviewing salt and vinegar flavour snacks. thesaltandvinegar.wordpress.com/2026/04/21/w...

Please y'all... If I could change my domain/socials in the midst of building momentum and traction, your popular Substack can be moved to a different platform. It bums me out to see things I want to reshare but won't because it's there. I know it's hard, scary, and sucks, but it's worth it.

I'm home and my contributor copies of @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social Issue 1 are finally here! My essay on the tyrant sun worship in THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE is in here, along with tons of other cool stuff from writers and artists. Go get yourself a copy!

In trying to keep this one brief I may have rushed a bit on this one but I was also super pumped to talk about a silent film director that I really enjoy!

Evergreen reminder this 420: No one should be in prison for weed.

So now making a bajillion sequels isn’t bad enough? Now, we’re going to rerelease with added material? Y’all this could have been a Disney+ thing. Sighhhhhh

I absolutely hate the "Ignoring your heart health?" ad I see every now and again because no. People aren't "ignoring" their health. We don't have fucking health care.

BlueSky may be back up and running but that doesn't mean you can't come hang out with us over on Discord... :)

Blom also directed an early erotic horror film titled The Vampire Dancer (1913). It only exists online through a very grainy paper print version, but there are stills from the film that give you a sense of how lush the original would've looked.

A big reason people decide to stay on Substack is to retain the following they've grown. And those who make the leap off the site need support more than ever so PLEASE consider supporting, paid or otherwise, the newsletter that do leave the service. 🧵

This week's review covers POLLYANNA (1920), Mary Pickford's first release for her new United Artists studio. This sentimental story was the result of ice cold calculation on Pickford's part: she needed a sure hit to establish her business and she got it. moviessilently.com/2026/04/19/p...

Cinemacon isn’t a fan event. Hope this helps.

Share some of the best eyes in movies 🎥👀

A lot of our big “we’re gonna hold big tech accountable” bills actually hand them + the government unprecedented power to track, censor, and deplatform internet users—and would require us to link our identities to everything we do online, meaning no more privacy. Greatly reducing opposition to them

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

Gastro horror and kaiju? Yes, please!
