SUBS WINDOW OPENS TOMORROW! For January, give us noir about dreams. Maybe it’s petty dreams about gangland glory. Let’s kick off 2026 by taking a look at “what dreams may come,” and what happens next when all your dreams come true . . . or don’t. Subs open from Dec 1-4: bit.ly/4fQLeGx

My latest retrospective looks at GET CARTER... how a 1971 cult classic inevitably resulted in a bad remake because remakes are in Hollywood's DNA. filmobsessive.com/film/film-fe...

My latest review at Film Obsessive looks at THE THING WITH FEATHERS, an adaptation of a prose-poetry book that tries to capture a vibe it falls just short of emulating... the style is there, but the substance is lacking. filmobsessive.com/film/new-rel...

Apparently Spotify makes a playlist for artists full of other music they feel matches... interesting to see what they think Beerfinger is like. #music open.spotify.com/playlist/37i...

The Thing with Feathers is an adaptation of the prose-poetry by Max Porter Grief is the Thing with Feathers that reminds the book is better. buff.ly/vCW8Nzs

RENTAL FAMILY is a quiet comedy-drama about the need for connection in an increasingly atomised society, propelled by a remarkably subtle performance from Brendan Fraser... it may overreach a bit, but squeezes the heart in a way that can be refreshing. #filmreview filmobsessive.com/film/new-rel...

Remember, submissions aren't open yet for our next zine bundle, but we can't wait to see what you send in the first week of December! 5 zines, 5 prompts, and 5 possible pieces for you to submit--with a 10 cents per word payment to boot! cursedmorsels.com/submission-c...

If you go to THE RUNNING MAN expecting a dark satire that will skewer our current dystopia to its core, you'll be disappointed... accepting this is just pulpy popcorn escapism gives a good chance of killing boredom. #filmreview filmobsessive.com/film/new-rel...

This is an age old BS Republican line going back to the 80s... they make changes (deregulation, social welfare cuts, tax credit erases, etc.) which make something unaffordable then blame struggling people for not having enough money to pay for how they're getting screwed.

"Tavern" by Netherwalker has one of the best alright-lemme-see-where-this-is-going openings... and it doesn't hurt the song explodes into solid deathcore. youtu.be/YFGG_-3RLgA?...
