Once upon a time movie posters told stories and set the tone, creating a kind of visual overture. Struzan was huge part of the imaginative landscape of the 80s and 90s. RIP.

This one hurts. Such a unique presence. One of those actors you just felt like you knew. People saying she was foundational to 70s American cinema are 100% right. RIP Diane

Not many board games are as mysterious as City of Six Moons. Is it a puzzle? A training ground for historical preservation? A grift? To answer those questions and many more, today we’re joined by Amabel Holland to discuss her oddest title yet. Listen here: spacebiff.com/2025/10/07/s...

Impossible to pick a favourite Redford performance or even directing project. But I've randomly pictured him running around NYC in those jeans and tweed herring bone jacket declaring "I just read books" at least once a week for decades now.

Annual solo wargaming survey! And hey, if you enjoy Wars of Marcus Aurelius of Stilicho: Last of the Romans why not give them a mention?

Nashville and Killer of Sheep are the two greatest films ever made about the United States.

WeTransfer is no longer useable to transfer any work files in my biz (film & tv). And I sure as heck won’t be sending personal files this way. Anybody know any safe alternatives?

The Elementals starts as a droll southern gothic horror-comedy but builds to something genuinely terrifying. Some may bump on the slow burn pacing & some aspects haven’t aged well, but that ending is an all-timer. Squint hard enough & you might see shades of Beetlejuice (co-written by McDowell).

These 90s stock photos have better lighting, composition and art direction than many TV shows and movies today.

Legacy media not bothering to do the absolute minimum to slow its death spiral.

We’re living in an AI hallucination

Good morning. Today is National Indie Bookstore Day. Instead of shopping at Amazon, B&N, etc give stores like Vortex Books & Comics, Park Books, Midtown Scholar, Butcher Cabin, Bucket of Blood, Poisoned Pen, Cupboard Maker, Mysterious Galaxy, etc your business. Most have online stores, as well!

MEDIA HOARDERS/HOBBYIST ARCHIVISTS, MOBILIZE

I'm obsessed with them oh my god

A movie that takes place where you're from 🎥

An all time favourite.

🦉 Happy Twin Peaks Day to all that celebrate 🦉

Amazon definitely can’t afford to pay humans to do work like this

What a lovely tribute. Almost impossible to think of one without the other. Like coffee and donuts.

I’m in shock. A true American original. One of the most unique voices in English-language film, and one of the few artists who can truly be said to have opened new doors in their medium. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Huge news for cinephiles. I’m particularly looking forward to the Tsui Hark titles. A major director/producer with key work almost impossible to find on physical media.

Criminally under seen. The Odd One Dies crackles with electric unpredictability. It’s like a HK Breathless made on the eve of the handover.

A snake, eating its own tail. Perpetual stagnation.

Happy 30th anniversary to DEMON KNIGHT, one of my favorite ‘90s horror movies ever. Here’s part one of a retrospective I wrote about it for its 20th anniversary: dailydead.com/retrospectiv... #filmsky #horrorsky

For the curious, the version of the 1922 Nosferatu on Tubi is a good translation. It lacks the tinting and a few minutes of footage. There are two versions on Internet Archive and both are bad, just in different ways.

Oh my gosh this is sad news. A terrific writer and a pillar of the Canadian horror community.

This paragraph landed pretty hard.

My last video essay for 2024 considers the recent publication of Kurt Vonnegut’s “lost” board game, GHQ, and uses it as a jumping off point to talk about what we preserve, why we preserve it, and how. youtu.be/5xXy9x81irU

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!

Potentially huge news in the world of cosmology. An elegant-seeming upending of recent orthodoxy using rock-solid laws of physics backed up by observable data. Or so it seems to this complete non-expert. ras.ac.uk/news-and-pre...
