It’s officially time to start catching up on 2025 movies. #NowWatching Highest 2 Lowest. I really like the original but haven’t seen it in a very long time, so it might be time for a revisit after this. #Filmsky

Another of my 2025 favorites: Circuit des Yeux- Halo on the Inside Released: 03/14/25 Haley Fohr (and her mesmerizing 4-octave voice) go full goth on the newest album. It’s not a sound for everyone, but her albums can be so rewarding for those on the right wavelength. #AOTY2025 #Musicsky

Time for another of my favorite releases of the year. #AOTY2025 #Musicsky Snowcuffs- Sink Down Released: 03/07/25 One of my favorite new acts of 2025 is this dreampop/shoegaze outfit from Chicago. They’ve released one EP, and have a new one coming out. I play this constantly.

I was wondering why he was standing and then I got to the end and... I really like this dude.

Took our annual post-Christmas trip to B&N to spend some Christmas money and gift cards. I had a small stack of horror paperbacks before I saw this on the shelf and put most of them back (trying to keep to a budget, ya know). #DavidLynch #Booksky

Today’s fave album from 2025 seems appropriate for today, as I watch the water rise over the curbs. #AOTY2025 The Divine Comedy- Rainy Sunday Afternoon Released 9/19/25 My big three Britpop acts all released great albums this year! #Musicsky

First up in my favorite music of 2025: The Golden Dregs- Godspeed Released 04/25/25 Sounding a bit like The Magnetic Fields, with some flashes of Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen. An album that’s only grown in my estimation over the last 8 months. #AOTY2025 #Musicsky

Feels like a good time to start sharing some of my favorite music of the year. I’ll be posting a couple albums a day for the next week. I mostly use Bandcamp to discover new stuff, so I’ll be linking to that a lot, though I’ll probably be sharing YouTube links as well. #Musicsky #AOTY2025

I’m from Whoville, and I say kill the Grinch!

Stephen King Universe Deep Lore: “So the turtle doesn’t like the clown?” “Yeah and that eventually helps the cowboy”

I know Danny Elfman got a lot of flak for his scores all sounding alike for awhile, but when the camera is gliding over a miniature landscape and those children’s voices are going ‘la la la la la’ over the score, there’s nothing better.

And Tiny Tim, who fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

Muppet Christmas Carol is the best adaptation not because it’s so accurate, but because it’s imbued with the loss and melancholy of the gang getting together for the first project since Jim Henson died. When Kermit mourns Tiny Tim, that’s Jim he’s talking about. #Filmsky

Humphrey Bogart was born on December 25? All this time we've been celebrating the wrong king??

Bill Brasky??

In 2025 I started dipping my toe back into monthly comics. Mostly just picking up something that caught my eye. One of them was Cul-De-Sac. It had a cool cover/art and a writer whose work I liked. And let me tell you, this book fucking rules. Hard. #Horrorsky #Comicsky 1/2

#NowWatching the 1st episode of Baby Assassins Everyday. Curious to see how this will translate to a half hour, televised format. I expect the bloody carnage to be toned down a bit, but otherwise I’m confident this should be good. Thanks again to @busiris.bsky.social for tipping me off to this.

Still on the opening task of this new Taskmaster Champion of Champions, and I’m crying laughing. Everyone seems to have come to play this time.

This was fun. The perpetually deepening friendship between Chisato & Mahiro continues to yield great results, carrying us through some of the more loosely plotted segments. But also; this film has a handful of KILLER action scenes. It’s like a pair of Kevin Smith characters in a John Wick world.

Boxing Mickey. #Filmsky

Starting Christmas week with a new-to-me holiday* movie! #NowWatching Baby Assassins: Nice Days. The first two films were fun mixes of slacker humor and brutal violence. Excited to see what these two are up to this time. *in the European sense of the word. #Filmsky

You get to bring back ONE VIDEO GAME IP for a new iteration, what are you choosing? Bushido Blade Two games for PlayStation. Two games of brutal, realistic, quick, one-hit-kill combat. I need this on modern hardware.

Like most, I first saw James Ransone on The Wire, & Generation Kill. I loved him on those shows, and was always happy to see him in something, from Sinister to Tangerine to It. A reliably twitchy and fun character actor. Capable of playing it funny, or tragically sad, sometimes at the same time.

I haven’t spoken to my mother in 5 years now, and my sister just sent me a humorous video about kids who go no-contact with their parents, and now I’ll be wondering about that for awhile…

I’m about 5 weeks post op, and wore my binders out to the point of the elasticity was giving up the ghost. I hate what’s happening in this sorry excuse of a “free” nation. Absolutely inexcusable decisions being made. I’m, just so tired.

Of all the sins of AI, this is an unexpected and deeply annoying one

Time for another midday #Horrorsky rewatch. #NowWatching Stuart Gordon’s Dagon. Based partially on the Lovecraft story of the same name, but melded with The Shadow Over Innsmouth. Haven’t seen this in years, but I always enjoyed in, in spite of some major budgetary restrictions. #Filmsky

Looking up Siskel and Ebert and I had no idea Sean Connery was such a big part of At The Movies.

Went down to Little Tokyo to pick up some snacks and treats for stocking stuffers. As always, I had to drop by and say hi to the church from Prince of Darkness. They threw up a bunch of apartment buildings since the last time I was there, which was probably last year. #Horrorsky

The Straight Story, on preorder from @diabolikdvd.bsky.social. Out just in time for my birthday in February. Finally I’ll be able to replace my bare bones, muddy transfer DVD. If there’s any Lynch film that can be called underrated anymore, it’s this gentle, moving film. #Filmsky #DavidLynch

Surprise day off so I’m starting the original Mick Garris miniseries for The Stand. I haven’t seen this in over 20 years, and Amber’s never seen it. I know a lot of it is corny but I’m really looking forward to this. Plus it was shot on film so this Blu-ray looks terrific! #Horrorsky #Filmsky

Saw the trailer for Rumpelstiltskin (2025) and I swear this movie was made in one of those secretly European influencer houses. #Horrorsky #Filmsky

After an up-and-down season, the finale of Welcome to Derry really got at what was really missing from the book: rules. Lots and lots of rules. Oh I love rules. And how much sense they make. So much sense. The most sense. Not arbitrary at all. Much logic. #Horrorsky

I’m apparently working in Jurassic Park today.

Got home, saw the news about Rob Reiner. What a loss, man. An epic, unmatched run of commercial and critical success, across a myriad of genres. We’ll never see the likes of him again.

Just got back from seeing Wolfwalkers down in Santa Ana. So thankful the family and I got a chance to see this on the big screen. My last visit to the @thefridacinema.org for the year, but I’ll be back in January for one or two of the Kurosawa’s, and Bay Of Blood. #Filmsky

This one won’t quite make my top 10, but it’s an album that has remained in pretty steady rotation since it came out. Lovely stuff.

Along with the Stand stories, I’ve been reading through Grant Morrison’s run on Doom Patrol. I just finished The Painting That Ate Paris, Mr. Nobody fucking rules. He’s so cool, I had to immediately check if he popped up anywhere else. #Comicsky

Because I hadn’t been paying attention, I didn’t realize Influencers was a sequel to Influencer. Imagine the director going into the Shudder boardroom and writing Influencer on a whiteboard, adding an S to the title, then waiting a beat before putting a line through the S to make a $. #Horrorsky

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Look at the la zoo using this lemur’s tinder photo on their posters. smh. Just posting hole on main for all the families walking by. (This is for my new followers from that cute cat pic last week)

I love Zebulon, and this place is tiny. If you’re gonna go, get there early.

Current break time read: The End of the World As We Know It. I picked this up a couple months ago, then kind of felt like re-reading The Stand first. This week the lone bright spot at work is reading short vignettes about people dying in a plague. #Horrorsky #Booksky

There’s only one more episode to go for Welcome to Derry, and I just have to accept that Andy Muschietti has no grasp on the material. Views Pennywise as nothing more than a jumpscare delivery service and has no greater thoughts or themes he’d like to explore.

Guys! Tubi has all 22 episodes of the one-season Starman TV show. Based on the John Carpenter film, with Airplane’s Robert Hays taking the place of Jeff Bridges. It’s weird, but I was legit obsessed with this show when I was nine.

Serious answer? God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater by Kurt Vonnegut. “There’s only one rule I know of, babies- god dammit, you’ve got to be kind.”

Finishing up a reread of The Stand tonight. Haven’t read this since high school (I have a story about the aborted first attempt, which I’ll share in a bit). I enjoyed revisiting it, I love these characters, but It remains king’s magnum opus, for me. #Horrorsky #Booksky 1/

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Every time I see Costner.
