'Obsession' and 'Backrooms' are breaking records and making history at the box office, and producers Jason Blum and James Wan say the films are reminiscent of the 1970s era of young filmmakers breaking into the horror genre.

I think this is why it's a hit. young people do feel some ownership of it, as they should. but old horror nerds like us will go see anything that looks novel or just scary.

Ahead of Marilyn Monroe's 100th birthday, here's an article I wrote back in 2018 where I theorize about her suicide and why I think she may have done it because she felt trapped by Hollywood.

Cinephiles are so snobby towards superhero films it's annoying. I'm not a fan of horror movies and rom coms but I don't constantly badmouth them every chance I get. And if I did y'all would rightly be annoyed with me.

Don't know if anyone else is having this problem but Spider-Noir is not giving me the B&W viewing option on my Fire TV. I am watching it on my laptop instead. But it's really dumb that an Amazon show is not cooperating with an Amazon device.

The waits between seasons doubled in last 10 yrs — & this piece doesn’t get into it, but when execs also demand shorter seasons, in some cases way too short, the end result = audiences that just don’t engage with shows/characters the same way.

The Wait Between TV Seasons Is Getting Longer, It’s Not Your Imagination

The female cast of ‘I LOVE BOOSTERS’ praise the film’s costume designers, Shirley Kurata and Lindsey Hartman. “The montage scene, we did it in half a day and we had about four or five different looks with makeup and hair... the poster is all photos from that one half day.”
