Husband’s coming home early from work so I can go to a movie. do I see… Hokum? Devil Wears Prada 2? Erupcja? Blue Heron? (Haven’t been to the movies since February.)

I've sold more books via my rare promo posts here than I ever did on Twitter, FB and IG combined. Prove me right! Buy my books! horrornonna.com/books/

Same. #TheValley

I love seeing the fervor over the uncut restoration of THE DEVILS and can only hope it will encourage folks to dig deeper into Ken Russell's oeuvre. A cinematic phantasmagoria, his work encompasses a sort of outrageously unhinged cosmic queerness that marries the high and low brow. A true auteur.

Lucrecia Martel makes fiercely political movies. She also led the Venice Film Festival jury that chose JOKER as its winner. @carlosfilm.bsky.social talked to her about both of those things, plus her Hollywood adventures. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Y’all, just like all of Levack’s films so far, it was TOO relatable. 😭

MJ's @gennyradosti.bsky.social says, "MILE END KICKS is a relatable and accurate period piece, capturing 2011’s Montreal with affection without ignoring the rampant misogyny of the time." #MileEndKicks is now playing in theaters

You know you’ve fallen a little too deep into a rabbit hole when you’re mentally correcting the featurette “experts.”

MJ's @displacedsnail.bsky.social says, "As much a mystery as it is a horror movie, HOKUM really captured my imagination." #HokumMovie is now playing in theaters

Your annual reminder to start the blog, do the thing, who cares!

Obscure YT of the day: 1974's thriller THE ELEVATOR w/ James Farentino, Roddy McDowell, Carol Lynley, Myrna Loy, Don Stroud, Teresa Wright, Craig Stevens & Arlene Golonka! By the director of AIRPORT 77! youtu.be/qjBahGqar0Q?...

Maybe needless to say, but I'm very excited to record our Suspiria/Suspiria double feature episode for CineFilth! Pictured: me in 2018, fresh out of A Star Is Born and ready to see a GOOD movie the next month. me in 2019, in a Gutter Garbs long sleeve and pretty darn pregnant.

See y’all there!

One of the moments I’m most looking forward to at this year’s BUILT THIS CITY event is welcoming the unstoppable Pippi Lovestocking back to the stage. After becoming a quadruple amputee in 2023, Pippi will be making her triumphant return to The Castro to do stand up… standing up. TIX at sfpride.org.

For a moody Monday night!

Latest newsletter just dropped and it is a scorcher. angelicabastien.substack.com/p/the-bride-...

holy fucking shit @danielkraus.com just won the Pulitzer for Fiction for Angel Down???????

Psssst: it’s Kanopy Korner day over on the @moviejawn.com Patreon! I wrote probably the most eclectic list of movies about moms that you’re gonna read this season, so check it out. 👀 www.patreon.com/posts/157134...

Alex still needs our help. I know it's difficult times for all, but if you're able do consider helping. Alex has made,and continues to make, an enormous difference in film culture not only as one of the best in her field, but in creating opportunities for others as well.

coming up with repertory programming ideas like

Valentino’s Grand Italian Buffet in South Sioux City. 😭💛

Got a great deal on a DVD of this! Of course, I’ve probably triggered Murphy’s Law of movie collecting: buy it out-of-print? An upgrade is inevitable!

3 Favorite Movies I Saw in April: 1. 28 Years Later: the Bone Temple (dir. Nia DaCosta, 2026) 2. The Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (dir. Kenneth Anger, 1954) 3. Vulcanizadora (dir. Joel Potrykus, 2024)

Did @omahalibrary.bsky.social reduce the # of Kanopy tickets for patrons? Confused because I started the month with 25, but the website still says 30. (Both are a generous amount, but still.)

Just watched the documentary BLOOD & GUTS @salemhorrorfest.bsky.social featuring @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Keep your eyes 👀 peeled for this one.

Watching over my work this month: Sheila McCarthy from ‘I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing’ (dir. Patricia Rozema, 1987)

A few times I've worried that maybe I'll run out of movies to recommend on Kanopy Korner, but on reflection, I think I'll be okay. Be sure to check out the @moviejawn.com Patreon on Monday for the latest column! (And become a patron if you aren't yet.)

I want to do a “last four watched,” but I honestly haven’t watched anything since a couple films Saturday. 😭 I‘ve got something cool due this weekend though, so I gotta watch movies! I 💛 motivation.

I’m always thinking about the 2021 horror film Dementer. I think it’s such a chilling story about how people who work with disabled individuals can *sometimes* get a bit of a savior complex. But in this case, there’s a cult involved.

I made a video to celebrate 100 followers today on the CineFilth Instagram account! 🥰🥰

This was too hard and now I’m mad and also disappointed in myself.

IS there a nostalgia factor to physical media if I just never stopped purchasing my movies and books on physical formats? (Though I do appreciate ebooks and my digital movie library for access and convenience. All about balance!)

I wish there was a prize for being the first person to quote Some Like It Hot to their kid’s cardiologist.

The virtual video store opens tonight on IG for one hour only! We’ve got stacks of movies, lots of opinions, and a special guest! Visit VideoJawn.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Garbage. Garrrrbage. Even if this doesn’t happen, I’m tired of disabled livelihoods constantly being attacked and stigmatized.

This one is straight from the heart. I hope you'll read it! www.rogerebert.com/ebertfest/lo...

our dream is a "build your own plate of nachos" restaurant called Dr. Nacho, which also has a horror video/book store (Ghoul School) attached. 🥲

Fell down a rabbit hole and now I need to know how/where I can watch Renate Druk’s six minute short ‘Space Boy’ from 1972/3. 🫠🥲

Good movies only! Happy #LetterboxdFriday/#LastFourWatched Day. After a busy day of running around with my littlest bestie, I’m ready to LOUNGE.

For all my Omaha pals: the film screens at Film Streams next Thursday, April 30th, followed by a Q&A with Cole Webley and John Magaro!

MJ's @gennyradosti.bsky.social says, "OMAHA gives Magaro a deserved turn as a leading man, and he carries the film without saying much at all..." #Omaha is now playing in NYC, opens wide in May

For Autism Acceptance Month I wrote this piece defending one of horror’s most misunderstood and maligned characters. I hope you’ll give it a look! bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...

hollywood, such a short-lived endeavor, truly nuts how quickly everything eats itself
