@raiyerosado.bsky.social If you haven't seen it yet, this is up your alley and on HBO Max. The only thing scary about it is the drama. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5O7...

BOWIE HYSTERIA IN THE UK 1973 “It’s the freakiest show...” It may be hard to imagine the press hysteria that David Bowie’s live shows created during 1973 in the UK. But luckily, we still have the evidence. www.instagram.com/p/DYQWhjzjDR... #DailyBowieTour1973

Tbh enough time has passed We can comfortably say it's very funny that a society that once ran purely on whale oil, coal, and pipe tobacco was like "I dunno. I guess they must have just exploded out of nowhere!" www.popsci.com/health/spont...

MOTHER TRUCKIN’ MAY: F.I.S.T. (1978) @darknessopera.com on how the drama behind the trucking union movie may be more interesting than the film’s plot. www.neonsplatter.com/daily-beasts... #MotherTruckinMay

My novel was accepted into BiblioBoard, giving it a leg-up with a few libraries in Illinois. Next week, I'll knock on some doors and hope my new badge'll get me in.

If you ever wanted to know what Sean Young would've looked like as Vicki Vale in BATMAN (yeah, we got robbed)...

Traffic has been spiking on my website. The culprit: THE DEVILS. Here’s a shortcut to a piece i wrote about the censorship of one of the greatest films ever to pass before my eyeballs: emmawestwood.net/2016/01/23/t...

Some people are better than others. Jamie Blanks was better than most. What the world needs now is Jamie 💔

@emmawestwood.bsky.social One cat told the other your STARSHIP TROOPERS book wasn't out yet. It didn't go well.

Anyone complaining about accents in THE ODYSSEY should remember Ancient Greece isn't a city in England. Anyone complaining about dialogue in THE ODYSSEY should remember Ancient Greece isn't a play by Shakespeare. In short: shut up, watch XENA.

April was a busy month for anti-groping awareness campaigns across Japan. One con cafe worker in Akihabara's gone viral because she recently had to use an anti-groping strategy her mother taught her: a safety pin.

Making the look book's been interesting: some characters and locations are clearer to me than others, but all need the same level of attention or it looks like I'm playing favoritism. Which means I didn't do my homework and examine everything like I should've. Better now than during production.

Three horror film festival entries down, two to go.

Damien Chazelle seems to have a thing for bright stars burning quickly. Nellie in BABYLON died at 34; Andrew in WHIPLASH will probably knock at that door. Chazelle also classed-up the joint too much, so I had to invite some trash pandas to the queue. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Hard to imagine anyone having more fun than the folks who scored BABYLON. Except maybe Daniel Pemberton with the BIRDS OF PREY score. And, as far as I can tell, the CD has all the music over two discs. Look at that title. Nothing but fun. And snow. #Music #Movies #Soundtrack

Finished my TITUS ANDRONICUS world tour. An interesting thing about Shakespeare's Most Violent Play is all the adaptations I've seen are directed by women. TITUS '85 is the most dour, which I love, but they're all uniquely great. Find the one that works for you. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Before SPEED RACER, there was a MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE trailer. A.K.A., a clear example of directors taking chances vs. playing it safe. I'm sure He-Man's latest will do well with the nostalgia crowd, but what the Wachowskis did with the Mach-5 will live longer than anyone who remembers the show.

Finished PRODUCER TO PRODUCER, which should be required reading for filmmakers. Making a look book now; tricky since I'm locking down a style guide while reminding myself to be open to new ideas. But I'll burn everything to the ground before I let a character wear aviator shades or a trucker hat.
