A sad day for fans of "Harold and Maude." #filmsky

If I had 100 pen pals that I wrote to every single day I could not use up all the return address labels I've been sent.

My periodic post that I will not follow anyone whose page consists solely of reposts. I'm not looking for someone to curate the site for me.

Current temperature at 7 pm in Somerville, Massachusetts: 11 degrees F and dropping, with wind chill making it feel like -14. And it won't get this HIGH again until 11 am tomorrow.

This “Dracula” is a romantic tragedy about someone who suffers an unspeakable loss and will now make everyone else pay the price for it. #filmsky #horror #lucbesson

Here's the list of Democratic demands to fund DHS. These consist of following the law and not letting violent, anonymous, masked thugs roam the streets. Squeaker Johnson and Sen. Britt (R-Cracker) think they're over the top. www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

MOTHER OF FLIES is what might be called “arthouse horror.” There’s lots of blood, to be sure, but it’s a slow burning film where all the pieces don’t fall into place until the final 20 minutes. #filmsky #horror #shudder

A major talent has left us.

Just watched Starfleet Academy episode 4. An abomination. I am appalled at how horrible this show is. They need to fire all the writers, Holly Hunter, Gina Yashere, and Robert Picardo. And I thought Picardo was one of the few saving graces of Voyager.

No money for murderers.

I know there are a number of my fellow film critics here. Has anyone been offered the opportunity to screen "Melania" prior to Friday's opening? You know what it says about a movie when they're afraid to preview it for the press. #filmsky

With all the horrible news we can use a laugh. Here's one:

So uninterested in the Oscar-nominated films I may not even watch. Bugonia? Marty Supreme? Are the Academy voters on drugs? #filmsky

Someone pointed out that low IQ Trump turned on Musk when memes referencing #PresidentMusk appeared. So how DO you think #PresidentMiller is doing?

Don't believe the 25th amendment or impeachment offers us a way out but this damning indictment is worth reading. www.againstallenemies.net/p/a-declarat...

It's amazing that the low IQ Trump doesn't realize that his pathetic neediness has made him an international laughingstock.

Trump got another reward he didn't earn. #caturday

Trump is the neediest toddler on the planet.

As a film critic and cat person, loved this. #filmsky #caturday

Lower courts continue to hold the line against the criminality of the Trump maladministration.

Trek fan since TOS in '66. "Starfleet Academy" is worst Trek since "Voyager." Hope it gets better but premiere episode is an abomination. #treksky

“28 Days Later: The Bone Temple” is a visceral film that will either convince you that a zombie movie can have substance or else make you wonder if the people praising the film are zombies themselves. For the record, this reviewer is definitely in the former camp. #filmsky #horror

Finished the first draft of my next book, a new collection of pieces on SF movies. Much work to do and unlikely to be out before next year, but a definite milestone. A follow up to my "Jar Jar Binks Must Die." #booksky #filmsky #sciencefiction

If you don't want people to have opposing opinions then posting on social media is probably a bad idea.

<sigh> Just had to block some fool who considers people like Ted Lieu and Jamie Raskin to be the enemy because they didn't support a futile effort to impeach Trump. I'd love to get Trump out, but empty gestures at this time are a waste of time and energy.

Tonight's movie obscurity discovered on YouTube with Edward G. Robinson and incredibly young Neil Hamilton. #filmsky

Unless there are 67 certain votes to convict, any attempt to impeach Trump is a futile waste of time that will only empower him. And anyone thinking the 25th amendment will save us hasn't read it. We need a MASSIVE blue wave in November.

Can anyone recommended a reliable app for converting PDFs and printed material into editable text?

Today's movie -- minor 1953 sitcom "We're Not Married!" But get a load of this cast. (Found it for free on YouTube.) #filmsky

So, how much of a bribe will Maduro have to offer to get low IQ grifter Trump to pardon him?

The animated DAVID is a decidedly mixed bag. There are some things that impress while other parts of the film are cringeworthy. Perhaps the youngsters for whom this is directed to will be more charitable. #filmsky #animation

“Goodbye June” may be a bit unusual for a Christmas movie, but it ultimately captures the spirit of the season. Some advice: have a box of tissues handy. #filmsky #netflix

Perhaps no film with the premise of “Re-Election” could credibly pull off a forty-something man returning to high school as a student. This one strains as it huffs and puffs its way to the finish line. #filmsky

“Star People” is an interesting drama that is being sold as a science fiction movie. It works as an interesting character driven drama, but as science fiction it’s a bust. #filmsky

“Avatar: Fire and Ash” continues to offer striking visuals and compelling storytelling and should more than satisfy fans of the series. #filmsky

Shameless self-promotion department: If you're looking for a book that will make you laugh at a time there's not much to laugh about, here's my latest novel. #booksky

Haven't posted this in a while. I won't follow you if most of what you have are reposts of other people. I'm not looking for someone to curate the site for me.

Thursday is Public Domain Day. Some caveats apply. #filmsky #booksky

Just when you think Trump and the MAGAts can't sink any lower, they're now calling for reparations... for white men.

Just caught up with "The Life of Chuck." Sweet film. But they used a word without any explanation: "groceries." Anyone have any idea what it means? #filmsky

Currently 22 degrees F. Perfect time to whip up some cream of mushroom soup.

What if you crossed "North by Northwest" with "Star Wars?" (Part II below.) #filmsky #hitchcock vimeo.com/166006200

I have nothing but contempt for MAGAts. But if someone says they disagree with me on issues but realize how horrible Trump is, that is someone with whom to engage, not demonize. To do otherwise is to play into MAGAt hands.

The one thing he can't stand is being mocked.

For fans of slapstick, the restoration of one of Laurel & Hardy's greatest shorts. #filmsky

Last night of Chanukah. (Holiday ends at sundown tomorrow.)
