Paradise is Still Lost My take on Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein #filmsky #moviereview open.substack.com/pub/dngolden...

Gdt’s Frankenstein. Please see beautiful wrenching film on its too short big screen run. boxd.it/btHfdT #filmsky #frankenstein #deltorro

Philosophy seems to address incomprehensible q only of interest to other academic philosophers&inaccessible to the ordinary inquirer. It seems to miss the point of the original philosophical urge&thus seems even more pointless than other arcane academic studies www.theideasletter.org/essay/bloodl...

My review of Michelle defroster's Theory & Practice. Despite the fine writing and interesting premise, I found the book's exploration of it ideas thin. #booksky #bookreview #books2025 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Every bit as touching as you'd expect but it's also a coming of age for San Francisco and the gay life during the 70s/80s. Well worth it. #filmsky #filmreview #sanfranscisco letterboxd.com/dngolden77/f...

This is such a cool comic and there's only 39 hours left to fund it!

Nails and Eyes is a haunting journey through the mind, where subtlety and tension dance elegantly. It invites readers to explore fear without the gore, revealing the beauty in darkness. #booksky #books

My review of Kaori Fujino’s Nails and Eyes whose razor-sharp, lucid prose reveals the subtle dangers underlying this distinctive form of psychological horror. For those who like horror without too much blood and guts #booksky #bookreview #japan #horror app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/686e...

My review of my second read of Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation. A novel that grew in estimation the second time to become a modern classic. #booksky #bookreview #sciencefiction #vanderMeer app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/f721...

CLOUD – Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s genre-hopping is on full display. This story of an online grifter has the chills, eeriness, & dread from his masterpiece CURE. It then morphs into a home-invasion thriller before turning into a full-blown revenge actioner. Unwieldy? Yes but it hits with tremendous force. 📽️

I saw The Fantastic Four: First Steps recently. I had hopes, because the Fantastic Four have been my favorite super hero team for decades. I'm happy to say the film far surpassed my hopes. It's the best super hero film of all time.
