"The consumers won't care if it's AI." Ah yes, horror fans -- y'know, the people who famously ask "Are the FX Practical?!" about literally every movie -- definitely won't care that you're feeding them prompt-generated slop. Good call there.

This got me thinking about how you'd do an actual cosmic horror story in the vein of Chernobyl and then I realized, oh, that's Shin Godzilla. No wonder I love that flick so much!

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

I don't like him personally, but David Simon on AI is the final word on the subject.

I managed to successfully disassemble, troubleshoot, clean, and reassemble to working order my fucky airbrush today, so I've got that going for me at least. It was a lot more trouble than a $30 airbrush deserved but better than throwing it out. Now I just need a sweet-ass fuck-van to paint.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

As many times as I've watched this on the Roku Channel, I *really* ought to just hunt down a physical copy. Anyway, I'm watching 1408 again.

Hey y'all - sharing again as I'm really proud of the work I'm doing here & just trying to promote my writing however I can. I'm pretty good at promoting everything else but myself these days. All subs are appreciated but the paid subs will help me keep this going (plus we have a big vet visit soon).

Here's some skeleton friends what I've drawn over the recent years

This is a good thread. Ideas are *cheap*. Everybody has ideas.

I have seen some *really fucking good* horror movies this year, and granted, I've still yet to see 28 Years Later or The Substance (though that one will be next week, after it hits HBO), but, holy SHIT, Bring Her Back may now be my #1 of the year.

Now watching, haven't seen this in *decades*. I had forgotten that Pam Grier was in this!

Whoah! This is good.

Check out this music video I animated for the band CHILE! youtu.be/MhxwZ5osH5s

Soon as JBB tells his last joke I'm off to bed, so while the credits are rolling I'll say goodnight! That was a hoot, guys! Thanks @crobertcargill.bsky.social for hanging out at the drive-in with us! See you guys soon! #TheLastDriveIn

Princesses don't row. #TheLastDriveIn

This movie gets an extra half star just for the ladies they cast in it because DAMN. #TheLastDriveIn

Cargill's selling this flick for all he's worth, but brother, I ain't buying. #TheLastDriveIn

Yes, Cargill, WHYYYYYYY #TheLastDriveIn

If you gave these guys M41A pulse rifles I would 100% believe they're space Marines breaking each others' balls. #TheLastDriveIn

Millions of peaches. #TheLastDriveIn

Eggar's just about one hit of crystal meth away from going full Boomhauer. #TheLastDriveIn

Joey Pants is such a devoted method actor, he refused to brush his teeth for 6 months prior to shooting. #NotReally #TheLastDriveIn

Foreboding radio report fu! #TheLastDriveIn

Pretty sure Eggar and that guy on the top bunk got nasty down by the sinkhole if you know what I mean. #TheLastDriveIn

I watched this movie BY MYSELF last October, with no one to share my pain with. I'm glad we all get to partake this time. #TheLastDriveIn

Joey Pants! #TheLastDriveIn

The Final Terror is a movie, alright. #TheLastDriveIn

"Remember how in Deliverance" is a sentence where you can flip a coin for how it's gonna end, and heads always involves squealing like a pig. #TheLastDriveIn

Good job, random Russian stunt guy! #TheLastDriveIn

Karen is FEROCIOUS. #TheLastDriveIn

I don't think Andy needs to cuff that guy, I'm pretty sure Karen broke his fucking neck! #TheLastDriveIn

God, those two get funnier every scene! #TheLastDriveIn

She gave him the ol' Buster Scruggs special. #TheLastDriveIn

The husband and wife team is fucking hilarious in this. #TheLastDriveIn

Now I want to see a movie where a Merkin IS the MacGuffin. #MuffWitness #TheLastDriveIn

With a fucking PAYNCIL. #TheLastDriveIn

Suck it, DePalma! #TheLastDriveIn

The ol' snuff switcheroo! #TheLastDriveIn

When I worked in tech support for an internet service provider back in the day, one of our customers used one of those devices a few times when he had to call in. #TheLastDriveIn

Alec Guinness or Stellan Skarsgaard there? I couldn't tell! #TheLastDriveIn

That's a good cut. #TheLastDriveIn

Climbing down the dirty elevator shaft to look for body parts is the rookie's job no matter what country you're in. #TheLastDriveIn

Pulling that shit in front of armed cops? These two are not the smartest beets in the borscht. #TheLastDriveIn

Italians talk in sign language even when they can talk. #TheLastDriveIn

Seriously, this whole 'evading the killers' segment is solid gold! #TheLastDriveIn

Palming Benjamins, you say? #TheLastDriveIn
