Have just finished 28 YEARS LATER.

Going outside in comfortable shoes.

Well, since I got Netflix for a month to check out ol' Frankie, I figured I should try their other wares, and it's been nothing but disappointments. Poop Cruise? Just poop in the bags, you ninnies. Somebody get Errol Morris to stare into these souls and ask them about their fear of pooping.

C is for ‘Carnival of Souls’ in my #folkhorroralphabet released in 1962 and directed by Herk Harvey. It’s a low budget cult classic, unsettling period Americana that inspired directors like David Lynch and George Romero. matpringleillustration.bigcartel.com/product/folk...

It's so cool that when the right person lands a direct hit on ol' Elon he can't stop from lighting up and spinning his bowtie like a carnival game clown

I loved Jacob Elordi in PRISCILLA and I loved him here, but one single soul does not a compelling movie make. boxd.it/bEqKjN

The campaign that inspired a nation.

Would somebody help this poor woman.

Me: I have bought the world's softest trousers. Nothing can stop me now. Cat:

I wish Del Toro’s Frankenstein was a more comprehensive look at the monster’s life. They never cover when he met Abbott and Costello, for example.

I tried to whistle over a stray cat in my neighborhood and a woman walked by, who I worried thought I whistled at her. So I said “im whistling at the cat” but when I looked back down at it I realized it was just an old fast food bag

I'm not decorating for Christmas. I'm simply flipping the reversible runners to their rich, mulled wine velvet side. This candle? Yeah, that's a snowflake. You see snowflakes outside, don't you? No, no, that's not Santa. That's C. Aubrey Smith in costume for Cukor's ROMEO AND JULIET.

Yeah I looked upon Cthulhu's dread visage and I was fine. Big octopus on a man's body. Not exactly "difficult to comprehend." Maybe you guys should go outside more idk

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

Saint Casilda in 1630, clad in some really A+ textiles & painted by Francisco de Zurbarán. Today is his birthday.

Gently snowing outside, not sitting in a hospital anymore, Frankenstein streaming, half a box of discount Halloween candy left.

Huge news for John M. Stahl-heads. ONLY YESTERDAY, the pre-code version of LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN LETTER, has finally been restored by Universal and will premiere on DCP in December in LA. The film has only been available on 35mm prints and awful VHS rips.

And just one more thing before I go. The President is definitely not passing out in his applesauce at 2pm. That sheen on his face is actually sweat from all the feats of mental and physical strength he's performing 24 hours a day.

I call this one Sweetcakes the Taunter.

*two inches of snow on plants* Huh, guess it's time to take in the garden.

Funny how the student nurse who says, "I honestly don't know the answer to that, but I can ask!" can be the most comforting presence in the place.

RFK Jr: You know, if someone… collapses in front of you the best course of action is… to leave immediately, because their soul just… came out and it’s flying around the room looking for a new… vessel at that point

Hate it when someone finds themselves between, say, two people called Greg, and they describe it as a "Greg sandwich". If you're in the middle then it's a YOU sandwich, on Greg bread. You idiot. You fucking moron.

Many disgusting things happening in a hospital at any given moment, and perhaps none more disgusting than me trying to eat a crumbly double chocolate muffin in the cafeteria.

"Did women ruin the workplace?" "Sir, you've had a railroad spike enter your brain through your left eye and we're gonna need you to lie still."

Stunned onlookers were overheard asking “Did we die? Is this Hell?"

Dan Duryea, Deanna Durbin, and Ralph Bellamy on the set of Lady on a Train (1945). 🚂

Stone. Cold. Knotts.

Overheard at the hospital yesterday: Patient: So I asked ChatGPT what I should eat, and it said... Nurse: Uhhhhh *glazing over as an entire ChatGPT answer is read*

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates: Did you live by the Ten Commandments? Mike Johnson: I have no idea. I have not seen those

TCM already had a Diane Ladd double-feature scheduled for later this month, for what would've been her 90th birthday. Keep an eye out for it, on November 30. They're showing ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE and RAMBLING ROSE, both must-sees.

Have had only coffee and mini chocolate bars for two days straight and feel...sick for some reason?

Here's an easy, last minute Halloween costume

You gotta feel for Hammer's Jonathan Harker, coming all that way for the express purpose of ending Dracula's reign of terror, only to get immediately waylaid by some spectacular boobs in a diaphanous gown.

DREAMY

Now watching THE PROUD AND PROFANE (1956). Timid scuzzball cinema with lofty aims. Swings between dopey sexism and turgid monologuing—there are wartime films made during the conflict that have far less of each. Holden's moustache owns the screen, tho. Commanding presence.

I dunno, this movie doesn't look like it'll be very goo— Oh nevermind, Thelma Ritter, put it on.

Hey Canada you okay? Canada:

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back! Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest! #MundaneHalloween

Woman who keeps turning the burner knobs up and down imperceptible amounts because it somehow feels like it's making a difference.

Pretty excited to find out who this "Prime Minister" of Ontario is!

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, you also miss 100% of the shots you take, for this reason you are off the team.

Most Americans don't have the stomach for the most violent, competitive sport in the world: crokinole.
