When did we decide that Ridley Scott owns the ALIEN franchise? He didn't come up with the story (Dan O'Bannon & Ronald Shusett) or write the script (O'Bannon), nor did he design the creature or sets (H.R. Giger, Ron Cobb, Chris Foss). Scott directed the hell out of it, but he doesn't own it...

From the “what in the hell am I going to do with this neat thing” department comes this fold-out poster of the Predator (probably from an issue of Starlog, but I don’t know) that someone slipped randomly into an eBay package as protective filler. *Mortal Kombat soundtrack for scale…

I'm enjoying IT: WELCOME TO DERRY, but there were some really distracting special effects in Episode 3 that looked downright unfinished...

Look, I don't know what the fuck is going on, but James Remar and John Cena are slowly becoming the same person, and I'm fuckin' scared, man.

Tonight's 61 DAYS OF HORROR: EXTENDED EDITION selection: the third episode of HBO MAX's IT: WELCOME TO DERRY, followed by Macon Blair's THE TOXIC AVENGER (2025).

It is snowing in Charlotte...it's light barely a trace but snow. This seems very very early to get snow here.

Shroomin’

I subscribed to this magazine as a young kid, back when it was still called The Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine. It's a sad day, man.

I absolutely love Baroness Claire Frankenstein's sarcophagus in @realgdt.bsky.social's FRANKENSTEIN. It's so beautifully designed and realized — it reminds me of Roger Corman's excellent Poe adaptation, TOMB OF LIGEIA (1964).

It feels like FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS came out roughly 12 years ago — not a knock at the movie, I like it, I'm just tired of living in unprecedented times where the cultural zeitgeist changes every 2.7 seconds.

Fuck. Yeah.

Damn, almost forgot today was a national holiday...

The biggest "dudes rock" in the history of "dudes rock."

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

Hey, after you watch @realgdt.bsky.social’s FRANKENSTEIN on Netflix, you’ve gotta watch this 45-minute documentary on the making of the film, THE ANATOMY LESSON. It’s wondrous.

Fuck. Yeah.

Tonight's 61 DAYS OF HORROR: EXTENDED EDITION selection: revisiting Zach Cregger's WEAPONS (2025)

There was a time, maybe 20 years ago, when PANERA felt somewhat fancy, and now it feels like the made-to-go sandwich kiosk at the airport.

Saw Trachtenberg confirm that PREDATOR: BADLANDS takes place after ALIEN: RESURRECTION (2381), which occurs 260 years after ALIEN (2122), meaning BADLANDS is the farthest along in both the ALIEN and PREDATOR franchises. Very interesting, and leaves the door wide open for them to explore stuff.

Back on my bullshit…

Sunday morning, going to Predator Church, as one does.

Another thing every single person on this list has in common? They work their asses off. I have been so impressed with Harley - she gets better every time she's in the ring. Just because you jobbed to Zelina Vega on WWE Main Event doesn't mean you deserve a spot in AEW... 🙄

Do your civic duty. Take a young child to see PREDATOR: BADLANDS today.

I took my ADHD meds too late in the day and now I can’t sleep yay

Marissa wrote about PREDATOR: BADLANDS and it's really good ❤️

It's pretty crazy that I'll be in Greensboro next week for AEW BLOOD & GUTS.

I really hope we get a Blu Ray release for Predator Killer of Killers cause I need it between my Prey Blu Ray and my future Badlands Blu Ray to complete my Trachtenberg Trilogy!

hello post office? i need to update my address

Locked in — my PREDATOR ranking.

Had to sit through 40 FUCKING MINUTES OF SODA COMMERCIALS before the movie. Had a start time of 11:30, legit didn’t start until 12:10. Infuriating.

That. Fucking. Ruled. Like a ‘90s Dark Horse PREDATOR comic come to life. I’m here for 12 more live-action movies and animated anthologies from Trachtenberg.

Gotta get a quick pre-BADLANDS pump in and revisit this iconic "Alien Vs. Predator" banger from Guyznite www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgXd...

Seeing PREDATOR: BADLANDS in IMAX at 11:30 and I'm so. fucking. excited. I've stayed away from spoilers and plot details — I fucking loved PREY and PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS, and I'm just so fuckin' amped for Trachtenberg to deliver the rare Yautja Hat Trick™

GdT's FRANKENSTEIN might be closer to the book than 99% of adaptations, but it still breaks from the text in various seismic ways. Like his PINOCCHIO, it's less about bringing a book to life than it is about GdT ruminating on what these texts and characters mean to him.

Just thinkin’ about my guy, Ultimate Predator The Alien Hunter

“I’ve got a great marketing plan, we’ll get the dumbest motherfucker in our industry, one that just nobody respects, and we’ll have him say the most asinine thing possible and that will be our pull quote, it’s surefire

Xenomorph in Wonderland by Mark Skelton

And pre-ordered. An incredible score by Desplat, incredible art by @ffrancavilla.bsky.social www.madebymutant.com/release/5547...

Tonight’s 61 DAYS OF HORROR: EXTENDED EDITION selection - before seeing PREDATOR: BADLANDS in IMAX tomorrow, it’s time to revisit Dan Trachtenberg’s 2022 banger, PREY.

Guillermo del Toro's masterpiece — the song he was born to sing — FRANKENSTEIN is out today on Netflix. Find 2.5 hours to watch it — it's absolutely breathtaking (and my favorite adaptation of Shelley's story)

#PredatorBadlands is totally insane, completely fun, seriously epic and surprisingly heartfelt. It’s the wild sci fi adventure us Predator (and Alien) fans have dreamed of for decades and we hope Dan Trachtenberg has even more Yautja stories to tell in the future.

Tonight's 61 DAYS OF HORROR: EXTENDED EDITION selection: revisiting Danny and Michael Philippou's BRING HER BACK (2025), one of the best films of the year!

Everyone see PREDATOR: BADLANDS this weekend so all of these fucking losers can eat shit.

Hey, remember Rick Famuyiwa, Deborah Chow, and all the other immensely talented filmmakers who helped make THE MANDALORIAN so great? Where are they these days? Anybody? They, along with Bryce Dallas Howard, should have theatrical STAR WARS movies under their belts by now, but nope... Shawn Levy!

I forgot to be in love with Star Wars....
