And the socialists--or, more often, the, broader, progressives--are failures if they don't do that, while the entire Dem machinery works to prevent them from ever even being nominated to run in those places.

It's #SpaghettiSunday. In 1968, director Enzo Castellari undertook what became a very good Western adaptation of Shakespeare, JOHNNY HAMLET. #Westerns #Western #SpaghettiWestern #filmsky #moviesky

Perhaps not quite what Bram Stoker had in mind but Ken Russells take on his tale is a low brow high camp delight with the devastatingly seductive Donohoe. 1988 #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

And, honestly, Clintonite-right "Democrats" saying they, the Clintonite-right "Democrats," can never win if the party comes to be associated with progressives--the base of the party--is, at worst, threatening us with a good time.

It's Mel Brooks' 100th birthday. Did you know he produced the finest horror film ever made? Now you do.

Blood and Roses. 1960. Utterly ravishing adaption of the Le Fanu classic Carmilla. Beautifully understated Euro gothic gold, just dodge the butchered US release. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Just the latest front in the Clintonite right's war against the base of their own party. They aren't just repurposing "1990s GOP messaging"; they're repurposing GOP messaging as it stood right up until 2014 and restating the messaging of the "Democratic leadership" as it stands right to this day.

"Oh, hi, Mock!" On this day--27 June--in 2003, unter-auteur Tommy Wiseau's THE ROOM was first unleashed upon the world. #filmsky #moviesky #TheRoom

Premiering on this date--27 June--in 1966, Dan Curtis' magnificent soap opera DARK SHADOWS. #horror #filmsky #moviesky #DarkShadows

#NowWatching for the thousandth time. Just one of the best ever. Tremors (1990) Dir. Ron Underwood "See, we plan ahead. That way we don't have to do anything right now." #Filmsky #horror #comedy #adventure

The Matlese Falcon (1941) Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre & Sydney Greenstreet try to get their claws on a priceless bird statue. John Huston's directorial debut. The King of #Noir the MFers know.

This assclown--Tom Suozzi--joined with Repubs to rubber-stamp Trump's ICE Gestapo and stood against Dem efforts to cut its funding and rein in its abuses. He's a fanatical supporter of funding Israel's mass-murder. He voted for Trump's "strip search kids" bill. Voted against impeaching Trump.

#FrancoFriday Lorna The Exorcist (1974) Director Jesús Franco

The Diabolical Dr. Z. 1966. Terrific fusion of gothic horror and sci-fi chiller from an era when Franco put style before sleaze. Unique and utterly striking. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #francofriday #jessfranco #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

What’s your favourite Jess Franco film that doesn’t have Lina Romay or Soledad Miranda in it? This is mine… #FrancoFriday

It isn't just that the Clintonite right--the "moderates"--haven't worked as any counter to fascism; it's that Clintonite-right dominance of Dem elected officials has actually fed fascism and made it much worse. That's THE U.S. political lesson of the 21st century to date.

None of this would be happening if Joe Biden's administration would have prosecuted Trump. He was dead-set against it and when this changed--after he was shamed into actually doing something--it was too late.

Getting back into this set tonight. I watched lots of Western shows in reruns growing up but somehow missed this. Wish I'd watched it sooner, its so good.

Had the opportunity to see this on the big screen last night. I’m glad I went. It’d been 10 years since I had seen it and DAMN it’s one satisfying horror movie. It scratches all my itches. Delightful! #gingersnaps #werewolves #horror

Priest Pleasence tries to save his chums from Cushings satanic sect in this much maligned Greek tragedy. Puts the Hell in Hellenic with intriguing effect. 1976. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

🎬 George Romero's "Land of the Dead" was first released in US and Canadian theatres 21 years ago today (June 24, 2005). This great zombie take starred John Leguizamo, Asia Argento, Simon Baker, Dennis Hopper, Robert Joy, Eugene Clark and Joanne Boland, to name a few! ❔LOVED OR HATED? #Horror

Admirable ineptitude as astronauts land in a field to rescue bored women from a masked chap in a leotard.

Clinton accused a vet of being a foreign agent, a charge that was baseless, false, offered solely out of pure petty spite--no different than the kind of shit Trump spews. Defending the victim of such a charge is what's known as "doing the right thing," something Clintonites wouldn't understand.

A new "for the history books"-style documentary on this much-rehashed subject. It leaves out a lot of things, soft-pedals some others, but overall, not bad (I only found one apparent error). www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ghz...

Just found this Sonny Trinidad splash from SSOC #6, “The Sleeper Beneath the Sands.” A thousand-millennia-old horror erupting out of a crumbling temple while Conan and the camp scatter below. Pure Bronze Age chaos, every panel screaming. Trinidad doesn’t get talked about enough. #comicsky #Conan

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."

Years ago, Hollywood bought the rights to a really good book about a zombie outbreak, threw it in the trash, made a really bad, unrelated movie with the same name then, in effect, remade it. The really bad result limped into the theaters OTD in 2013: cinemarchaeologist.blogspot.com/2014/03/worl...

"I don't play a lot of fancy guitar. I don't want to play it. The kind of guitar I want to play is mean, mean licks." - John Lee Hooker The legendary blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist, John Lee Hooker, passed on this day, 2001. One of the greatest blues vocalists & guitarists of all time.

@film-authority.bsky.social just reminded me about this fun flick which my friends and i ended up renting a few times back in my university years. if you haven't seen it, i highly recommend the last supper (1995). an interesting premise, well executed, and sure to ignite discussion.

Change some words with the times and this has, in fact, been the entire Republican program for a few decades now.

'Lifeforce' was released on this day 41 years ago! (June 21, 1985) Directed by Tobe Hooper. Screenplay by Dan O'Bannon & Don Jakoby. Starring Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, Mathilda May, and more. #OTD #OnThisDay

Media illiteracy is, of course, a massive problem (I'm running into a lot of it elsewhere today, in fact). But ideally, a movie should really speak for itself. What it "means" is whatever interpretation can be made to fit with it. And, of course, that isn't, in practice, so often the case!

Mill of the Stone Women. 1960. The first Italian horror film in colour, sumptuously shot in the Netherlands with dark gothic style and macabre mood to burn. 1960. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #italianhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) 🎬🖤 Directed by John McNaughton

Yeah, and if you added in all the nominees that didn't win, it would look even more extraordinary. The '70s are unusual in Academy history itself too, in that it was an era when most of the Academy's decisions are totally defensible. So much great stuff it would suck to have to pick just one winner.

On this date--21 June--in 1991, Joe Johnston's THE ROCKETEER first hit the screen. Based on the Dave Stevens comic of the same name, which was, in turn, inspired by the old Rocketman/Commando Cody serials, the movie had a lot of the same heart as the serials. #filmsky #moviesky #TheRocketeer
