Regardless of whether you agree with him or not (I generally do), Walter is simply one of the best film critics around. This is fabulous.

Dark Days with Ray Walton starts off with a scorching noir that quakes with anxiety, discomfort and mania….the darkness can do that sometimes. Now on #NightTideMag 👻 📽️ nighttidemag.com/2025/12/22/d...

Fucking useless organization.

Grateful to my husband for not only getting me a copy of the Possession 4K, but also for giving it to me ahead of Christmas so I don't have to unwrap it in front of my mother-in-law and explain the plot.

Tomorrow!

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched: A bleak view of marriage, a bleaker view of the not-so-distant future, an old-time adventure story with great special effects, and a not-too bad serial killer movie with great shark footage but a kind of middling final girl.

A really great thread celebrating indie presses.

Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

I love this article! The intersection between horror and romance is something I care about very much and this is such a fascinating piece that touches on many of the similarities in these two genres. (You can read more about my thoughts on horror and romance when my book comes out next year!)

Requiem for a Dream. (There are probably lots, but I loathe this movie very much.)

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends. scz.org/blog/the-rea...

My husband is rewatching 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and I will take these slightly wonky practical squid effects over digital every single time (and it goes without saying that even the silliest special effects are a gazillion times better than AI slop).

Day 1 of 10 sharing #LibFaves25 (only horror titles edition).These are not in any specific order. THE STARVING SAINTS by @caitlinstarling.com might have flown under your radar, but it has stayed with me all year. transfixing, highly unnerving, 3 povs. More: www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

I've been reading @emilyhughes.bsky.social Jump Scares lists for ages and seeing my own book here is very, very cool.

Ever wonder where the trope map came from?

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched: Three great movies (a kid-friendly classic, a wildly weird comedy with amazing costumes, one of the best LA noirs) and an absolutely atrocious and unfunny attempt at humour.

I rented this movie as a teenager knowing nothing about it and I still sometimes think about it. So weird and unsettling.

Definitely bought this beer solely because of the name. How could I not? One of my fave shows of all time. The beer is also pretty good.
