We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

Today is the LAST DAY to submit your films for consideration for our 2026 edition. LAST CALL Y'ALL filmfreeway.com/ChattanoogaF...

Wow! REFLECTIONS IN A DEAD DIAMOND might be my favorite film of 2025, so nice to see it get awards consideration.

the hottest trend of 2026 is feeding yourself into a machine you don't understand, and which doesn't understand you nymag.com/intelligence...

A bit late to the (wedding) party, but I'm happy to confirm that "Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen" is an A+ horror tv series. For me, the initial "what is going on?" half was more creepy fun than the "so what do we do about it?" that followed, but it all works and they stick the landing.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who submitted a film this year. With just four days to go until our 2026 submissions period is over we’ve once again smashed the record number of films we’ve ever received that we set last year. Seeing our festival grow over these last 13 years has been so rewarding

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

There are just 9 more days to submit your films for consideration in our 2026 edition of CFF! TIME WILL SOON EXPIRE.

ChatGPT is not the actor here; it’s a product. You can’t investigate ChatGPT anymore than you can investigate autocomplete. OpenAI is the responsible party here, and this NYT social post should reflect that.

I can vouch for 4 of 5, and I'll be seeking out the 5th soon.

Six strings, ten fingers, three tunes, zero amplification, and I swear I could run through a brick wall listening to it

Erica Payne, founder of @patrioticmillionaires.org: "Doing it around the edges is what got us this freak show in the WH sending out memes about him being Jesus & getting in a fight with the Pope in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state. For heaven's sake! Enough already"

Attn LA: this sounds like a must-see screening. ADMS is one of my favorite neo-noirs, featuring an all-timer of a performance from Bruce Dern.

Rather than treat Trump’s comments about Pope Leo as deranged, embarrassing and offensive to (many) Catholics, early headlines (and stories) paint it as Trump just bashing back against a political opponent. Truly broken media environment.

Larry Fessenden brings his werewolf, vampires and Frankenstein's monster together as a young historian gets out of her depth in Trauma Or, Monsters All www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/traum... #Overlook #Filmsky 🎬

Just taped another podcast...please invite me on your podcast! I would be thrilled to yap about movies, fat grrls, sex + violence, video stores, physical media + rock and/or roll with you.

I rarely deploy the term "banger." This? @davidehrlich.bsky.social's latest newsletter entry (and his glorious return after his book leave)? About the "absolute hell" of movie-going at the Drafthouse these days? This. This is a banger. www.indiewire.com/features/com...

The US Postal Service is the only part of the fed required to pay for itself only because (1) Republicans hate it & want it destroyed because it gives the poor and the rich the same treatment, and (2) so that their buddies can jump into the ensuing vacuum of "privatization"

Yes, Congress is in recess. Yes, they should probably come back now. Yes, you can still call them while they're out. Call a local office! We have those numbers for you @ 5calls.org 🔥📞🔥

@5calls.org makes it trivially easy to do so. 5calls.org

This is a supervillain monlogue. I will never understand how anyone can watch this man say things like “a whole civilization will die tonight” and fail to recognize evil when they see it.

I can confirm that Conor & team are cooking up something fun. Kick in a few $$$ if you can!

yes

Your number one - I mean NUMBER FUCKING ONE - priority when filming as a producer is the health and safety of your cast and crew. Number. Fucking. One. And this fucking guy is bragging about having helicopter stunts and calling protesting crew members commies. P.O.S. deadline.com/2026/04/jona...

Do you like free newsletters about movies and TV shows? Well, every Friday since 2022, I've been sending Stream On, covering the week's most interesting streaming releases plus other features (like recs from cool Special Guests!). consequence.net/stream-on/ Recently, there's been a big change... 🧵

yes. they pay more based on income in taxes for the thing that is then “free” for everyone. this is how public services work

Few have contributed as much to our understanding of the genre as Alexandra Heller-Nicholas. This is a reminder that even the most accomplished people can be struggling in ways we don't know about - Alex needs a boost if you can spare a little kindness.

Today, the world's first and best pop culture art gallery announced it was closing. And no, it's not an April Fool's joke. Gallery 1988 has been a trendsetter for decades, but now, it's going away. Below, I go on a personal journey about what the gallery has meant to me and pop culture at large.

If you like... (a) brutal horror (b) Ralph Fiennes (c) Jack O'Connell (d) Nia DaCosta (e) Hildur Guðnadóttir (f) Duran Duran (g) Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast" ...I cannot stress how much you need to see this film.

Last night I got to do a QA with Michael Gingold (Rue Morgue/Fangoria) for our film THE RESTORATION AT GRAYSON MANOR at the Alamo Drafthouse in part of their Fantastic Best program, featuring their favorite films from Fantastic Fest. Thanks to everyone who made it out!

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

Hello friends! I'm currently looking for work. Times are tight and the closing of one door has opened up my availability to help you. This doesn't need to be full time it even part time, contract work would be a great start. I have experience as a writer on a variety of film related topics...

justice alito talmbout it "seriously undermines" voter confidence when a "big stash" of mail ballots arrives and changes the "apparent outcome" sir do you mean when all the votes are counted? bc it sounds like you're just describing when all the votes are counted

Now on @shudder.com!!! Bravo Donna Davies and @horrornonna.com! 👏🖤

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

guess it's my turn. just got fired from my job as editor at movieweb. if you're looking for a writer/editor with over 15 years of experience, hit me up.

Now it's official. THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER is coming to you. I can't begin to express how proud I am of the show we made. It's a story of systematic evil, unjust imprisonment, abuse & the need for ALL to fight together to beat the devils who prey on us. Get ready!

Lovely new review of 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR at @bloody-disgusting.com. Premiering 20 March on Shudder!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Dark money groups are paying influencers to spread attacks about our campaign. Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate our election.

Just wrote a delightful little 3.5-page villain monologue for the new script, capped with the most Sean-coded last line ever. 😈

It's been a minute since I've done a giveaway so I'm going to personally gift one person a 2 month subscription to the @chattfilmfest.org Patreon to join us tomorrow! All you gotta do is share this post and comment what rarity you'd love to someday see shown! I'll DM the winner tomorrow morning!

Just spoke with my accountant and it sounds like it's going to cost more to files our taxes for @certifiedforgot.bsky.social than we earned in (non-owner contributed) revenue in 2025. It'd be really great if people starting giving us credit for paying our writers, because, man, shit's not cheap.
