#TheVampireLestat Episode 2 recap is live: Lestat invites us to unpack the childhood trauma that led to all his Oedipal smoochery.

I mean, is it even summer if you haven’t splashed around in the pool with your 10-year-old nephew and then come inside to watch a Jurassic Park during an afternoon thunderstorm?

Early summer stack.

Me in 7th grade: “Am v SOPHISTICATED reading existential vampire novels!” Me at 43: Chuckling to self re: use of multiple variations on “de Leonfarts” in next week’s #TheVampireLestat Ep 2 recap.

MAHA will be like “Medicine is unnatural blah blah blah” and then drink the milk directly from the teat of a fully different species.

Another prestige genre series emerges from its coffin as we watch the third season premiere of AMC's The Vampire Lestat. @ivanhernandez.bsky.social and @redscott.com talk world tours, snippy goths, old men against modernity, and beef houses. #iwtv #lestat boarsgoreandswords.com/2026/06/09/t...

Me, promoting my free Substack:

Scott Pelley says he was told to make protestors look more violent & say Renee Good was "driving toward the officer". He says "there was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events" at a level of political influence that he had never seen in 37 years at CBS News.

It’s AMC’s Anne Rice’s #InterviewwiththeVampire and it’s the same except it’s completely different. #TheVampireLestat premiere recap is live!

Things I remember from the back half of #InterviewwiththeVampire Season 2: •Baby Bogosian (Fauxgosian?) was a BABE •Whole “trial” was just Lestat recapping Season 1 Entirely from Memory™ •Louis doing ghost tour in middle of hurricane

Slowly watching people I used to have a crush on age via Instagram is an experience I never anticipated.

*plays #GunsNRoses’ Sympathy for the Devil* The drastic vibe shift at the very end of #InterviewwiththeVampire (1994) was brilliant, and we as a culture simply did not appreciate it properly.

All us perfectly mentally sound people are being totally normal and rewatching #InterviewwiththeVampire right now, right?

Post your favorite LOTR character, wrong answers only.

Look! A kinda fashion thing you can do instead of being insensed by the #MetGala!

It’s fine! Totally fine and enjoyable. A perfectly fine good ol’ time at the movie house. But also…kinda sweaty. Read the #TheDevilWearsPrada2 recap at JohnnyWrites.substack.com

Have you seen #TheDevilWearsPrada, the No. 1 top greatest movie of our time [2006 edition]? So have I! And I remember it 100% accurately!

LGBTQ kids, including transgender and gender nonconforming kids, deserve our love, respect, and support just like any other kid. I will always be proud to stand with them. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/04/demo...

In her new adaptation of #WutheringHeights, Emerald Fennell has both Cathy and Heathcliff sit on eggs while also deploying sensual imagery and BDSM themes. Would her talents and preoccupations have been better suited to an adaptation of The Story of the Eye? In this essay, I will…

#Pillion! #Twinless! #BlueMoon! #PeterHujarsDay! Check out my mini-reviews [gay thoughts] of these and other recent notable gay films! #FilmThreads #MovieThreads #AwardsSeason

I feel genuinely privileged to have somehow largely missed all the shitty #Sinners *discourse*. It’s been nothing but people adoring this tremendous film in my feeds and actual life since last April. 😌 #Oscars #FlimSky

V pleased [smug] to say I only have three major #Oscar films left to watch. (With respect to Bradley Pitt et al, have zero interest in the car movie) #FilmSky #Movies #AcademyAwards

“Like the Cass Review before it, the trial is in all likelihood an elaborate pantomime to generate a false sense of scientific legitimacy for what is purely a moral panic about gender related healthcare – with the enthusiastic collaboration of most of the UK’s politicians and news outlets.”

I hate that I live in a timeline in which Michelle Pfeiffer is in a Taylor Sheridan show. 😖

Fierce canine companion guarding my archives. Considering purchasing spiked collar. (Also badly needs bath!)

I don’t watch #Traitors. Anyone want to explain that overalls guy to me?

Why yes this was tonuit’s double feature. Iss agoofun! #filmsky

Amanda Seyfried rocks my world as per uszh. #TheTestamentofAnnLee #FilmSky

On Tuesday, the attorneys general of 12 states filed a lawsuit challenging HHS’s “conditioning [of] hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding on states’ agreement to discriminate against transgender people,” according to a press release from the Oregon Department of Justice.

Data from hundreds of public bodies in England shows only four complaints about transgender women in women’s single-sex spaces over a period of three years, according to advocacy group TransLucent.

The administration has been relentless in their dubious (to say the least) characterization of Good and progressive activists as “domestic terrorists.”

Forced to flee home office due to internet outage. At Starbucks now. Feel strongly that internet companies should be obliged to reimburse customers for expenses incurred during outages (eg nonfat latte, ham & cheese toastie). Elizabeth Warren or similar should get on this.

Wanda Sykes wins the night, and actually made me root for Ricky Gervais over Brett Goldstein. #GoldenGlobes

Such a bummer that Amy Poeler had to thank Spotify. #GoldenGlobes

Did the #GoldenGlobes red carpet always have these #MetGala stairs?

So stupid that #GoldenGlobes occur during #DryJanuary! Badly desire champagne but would contravene New Year’s resolution.
