Made a guest appearance on Elissa Suh's newsletter along with @helmetgirl.bsky.social to recommend family movie viewing substack.com/inbox/post/1...

I think I’ll be fine

I appeared on @projectionbooth.bsky.social to discuss the new release of Angel's Egg www.projectionboothpodcast.com/2025/11/spec...

Gentle reminder that I am going to be on TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES (!!!!) on Monday for an evening of programming that we put together. I hope you'll be able to tune in. Love y'all.

For @hyperallergic.com I wrote about Fletcher Hank, one of the oddest ducks in comics history

Everyone wish Ursula a happy birthday

Zohran Mamdani gave Hinge its greatest advertising possibly ever. I keep seeing women mention how he and Rama met on the app in their profiles. Just saw one who said she's looking to be someone's aloof wife. It truly is a new day in New York

FRI, NOV 21!! To celebrate the release of Larry Cohen's posthumous memoir, come on down to @spectacletheater.com for a 16mm screening of GOD TOLD ME TO! Introduced by publisher Gavin Smith, and there may be copies available for sale!! Tix & info: www.spectacletheater.com/god-told-him...

For @hyperallergic.com I talked with @yashalevine.bsky.social and Rowan Wernham about their new doc Pistachio Wars, the Resnicks, and artwashing

Mervyn Peake sounds like the name of a guy who writes fantasy novels set a sprawling and ruinous Gothic castle

For JoySauce, I talked with director Elizabeth Lo about her new film Mistress Dispeller

The ones who walk away from Omegaverse

"Stuck-up Riverdale punks... Think they're too good for me."

This is TONIGHT!

When I was a child I thought this was a Spider-Man reference

lol

my god there has never been a more accurate use of this

I often tell myself that my refusal to engage with this held back my writing career. Is it true? I don't know

Charlie Browns mom: Waaah wah wah wah waaah waaah waaah wah Charlie Brown: oh, you mean pigpen Charlie browns mom: Wah way. Waaaah wahwahwah wah wah waaah waaaah wahwhawah wah wah Charlie Brown: yeah I get that. It’s pretty bad over there but I don’t think they hit him

Hey everyone welcome to Bluesky here's good bug content

Gonna make a Moonstruck 1½, which will just be the movie from Danny Aiello's perspective, just having the worst set of days of his life

Feel so out of practice drawing. Here is a tree mari with some fungi and spider webs

SUMMONING SALT: and then, the next day, penisguy did this. [synth song plays over live footage of me in my boxers watching the summoning salt video] ME: haha i love this part

Very pleased with attendance for Incubus so far! I plan to be at the 5pm showing a week from now on the 17th! Get your tickets www.spectacletheater.com/incubus/

For @documentary.org, I spoke with Rebecca Miller about her big ol' five-part look at everyone's favorite short king filmmaker

The end is in sight for my time at NYFF this year, got some more coverage. First, for @reverseshot.bsky.social, I reviewed Scarlet. Big fan of Mamoru Hosoda so this one let me down

Delighted that a long-brewing project at @reverseshot.bsky.social that I've been a part of has finally come to fruition: a weeklong symposium on the games of That Guy Himself. I'll be bringing it home on Friday, but for now, here's Cole Kronman on Kojima's early work reverseshot.org/features/336...

RIP

Thrilled that the first film I've programmed at @spectacletheater.com will be playing this October. Incubus is a marvelous curio, starring a pre-Star Trek Billy Shats and performed in Esperanto www.spectacletheater.com/incubus/ Check out this amazing trailer by Pete Brensinger (vimeo.com/singerbren)

Kaleb Horton was one of the writers whose qualities I was consistently chasing (and usually feeling like I failed to match) in my own work. Got to have a lovely lunch with him just once, right before I left LA. An extraordinary loss.

I don’t have much to add that hasn’t already been said by people closer to him but he captured the California that *I know and grew up with*, the desperation and beauty of the Central Valley, the dark corners and the bright lights- talented beyond belief and gone far too soon

RIP Kaleb Horton kalebhorton.ghost.io/2025-so-far/

[at my second rodeo] listen up you ignorant sack of shit

CHOTINER: And you thought it would be funny to do a fake interview by me? ME: A lot of people have, so CHOTINER: You were looking for engagement? ME: Well, to make someone laugh I guess CHOTINER: How many likes and reposts did it get? ME: That's, uh, not really the metric...look can we start over

For @filmmakermagazine.com.web.brid.gy's Gotham Pages, I surveyed the landscape of AI tools on hand for filmmakers and tried to suss what, if any, Actual Uses there are to be had for them filmmakermagazine.com/131861-the-g...

The house in No Other Choice is insanely good, I'd kill so many more guys than Lee Byung-hun does to hold onto that

Don’t care about the guy who isn’t aging. Give me an article about a guy who unlocked the ability to double jump

RIP king

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

Grape Nuts (holding me back): Whoa whoa whoa, hey man, just let it go! This asshole isn't worth it!
