Happy 45th to one of my hands-down favorite horror movies of all time. If you haven't seen this one yet, go in completely blind like I did. Trust me.

I worked with the rapper MIYACHI (you may know him from hosting Konbini Confessions and you should really listen to his music) on this song for Denshattack! I'm really proud of this hip-hop/drum n' bass blend. Thank you @kidkatanarecords.bsky.social @denshattack.bsky.social youtu.be/edBRh8rclG8?...

SoFi workers will hold their strike authorization vote next week, on June 4 and 5, one week before the first U.S. match of the World Cup is held at SoFi, ahem, Los Angeles Stadium. Workers are demanding a cut of the stadium's luxury packages and safety protections from ICE activity

this is the most stupidly specific joke I could make

never thought I would ever see this one in a theater; first time for everything

Nope is the best horror movie of the past decade and I never want to hear anyone talk about it ever again. I GET IT, YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS UP WITH THE MONKEY, JESUS GOD

This June... Knifeman comes home. LA premiere at Dances With Films Los Angeles. June 27th, 11:30 PM, TCL Chinese Theatre. Tickets on sale now. danceswithfilms.com/2026-knifeman/

Absolutely insane seeing someone greenlight a horror movie about people you're (supposedly) descended from

have just learned that Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma ends with a cover of REM's "Nightswimming" and I swear to god Jane Schoenbrun is out to get me

Just a reminder that my May 19th show in Chicago is in one week! So excited to see you there, I've been preparing a lot! Pre-sale tickets still available: link.dice.fm/l83388c59513

To anyone who has asked how you can help, it's just money right now. There never seems to be enough. Paypal: paypal.me/mariabrewista Venmo: venmo.com/code?user_id... Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/mariabrewista

It's hard for me to recognize what it means what people say they want to help, and my sibling reminded me that I'm always allowed to ask. So I'm asking. This year has been financially stressful with all of the travel, food, and other unexpended issues.

First newsletter has been sent out to subscribers!

Oh my GOD they did it. Genuine holy grail of film restoration moment if this is the uncut version.

Unfortunately for all of you, I have started a newsletter. Please subscribe.

Gone With the Wind. Even in the context of other old Hollywood epics, no, you do not in fact "have to hand it to them"

been working on something a little different from usual lately. just a taste of it here:

there are creepypastas everywhere for those with the eyes to see

Horror of Godzilla # 1 variant cover I did for Toho / @idwpublishing.com !

recent jeopardy contestant, your GOAT, and mine — tini howard read BUSINESS AS USUAL, and this is what she had to say. 12 hours and less than $150 to go, so if you want to secure a copy, act fast! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

You should back this. I have a number of @barkmouchard.bsky.social’s books (highly recommended Leaf Peepers & It Took Luke) and this should be excellent too. They are getting close to the goal. Help them get there!

HE’S BACK

I cannot be the only one who thinks that this and Iron Lung are an insane sea change in the film industry

Angine de Poitrine is the first time in years where my tastes in music have lined up with the zeitgeist so you better believe I will be riding this trend into the ground

Man, this one hurts. RIP to Shozin Fukui, a shining light of Japanese punk cinema.

seated for Hangover Square at the Egyptian, a bucket list screening if ever there was one

and the western/noir masterpiece Bad Day at Black Rock - along with John Sturges's incredible commentary track for the film (basically film school in under 2 hours) - have also returned to the Criterion Channel.

been seeing a lot of How to Blow Up a Pipeline discussion recently, and while I’m not complaining, it’s also a good excuse to recommend Cam, one of the only movies that saw the current AI psychosis grift coming

major thanks to @2mello.net for turning me onto ZEP - fantastic mix of techno/post-punk/hip-hop that I'm gonna have stuck in my head for weeks

I'm sorry WHAT DO YOU MEAN "SHINYA TSUKAMOTO'S ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEBUT"

this is the only trailer we should be talking about this morning

Y’all are gonna want to check this out - Mark’s work rules, and it’s more than worth supporting

the Steel Ball Run is a cross-country horse race whose participants include “a guy in a car“ and “a guy running the whole race on foot”, which makes it the most realistic depiction of late 1800s sporting events in TV history

new headshot dropped for the first time in 6+ years

fairly certain that “Excitable Boy” by Warren Zevon, “Sweet and Tender Hooligan” by the Smiths and “Only A Lad” by Oingo Boingo consitute their own weirdo little subgenre of rock

the Kudo Method will return the galaxy to normal

Grace Ashcroft gets an unexpected call from within the FBI Original by @natclayton.bsky.social

BUSINESS AS USUAL A social satire comic about freeing the detainees from America’s first off-the-grid ICE detention center, in 2035. 64 pages of action, leftist infighting, situationship drama, and giant snakes launching March 23rd on Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

Jeremy Saulnier's Red Harvest or bust.

Don't let them kill free speech, call your reps ahead of Thursday when bills including KOSA will be discussed again

NEW MUSIC: "rolling star feelings" from rhythm pools 01 - naissance, arriving March 6 With this song, I started a new sound I had been working towards but hadn't fully achieved yet, with bossa nova + dnb + live sax. Pre-order the album: 2mellomakes.bandcamp.com/album/rhythm... 2mello.net/store

man can't wait for the new Pokemon games to go to my favorite setting: Bright Falls, Washington

If and when we get hit with a bunch of "anti-woke" pop culture, try to remember that it's not a "vibe shift." That stuff isn't popular. No-one watches it, buys it, etc. It's a few guys with too much money to ever go broke, willing to burn ungodly sums on forwarding their agenda.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

I am losing my mind this looks PERFECT.

gonna be honest, I do not think the K-Pop Demon Hunters Criterion thing is anywhere near as big as people are making it out to be

the one and only

Live-action Ghost in the Shell. One of the fight scenes legitimately gave me a migraine, and the rest of the film didn't do much better either

“Dare to Be Stupid” is a parody so good the band it’s parodying got angry at Weird Al because it sounds like something they would have written; nothing else compares
