Did I get to talk about the history of Hentai, Tentacle Erotica, Ero-Guro, Pinky Eega, Edogawa Rampo, Teruo Ishii, Hokusai, and so much more …. Twice? Yes, yes I did as an intro to the screenings of Urotsukidoji during Imagine 2025

Good Boy is indeed a good boy.

I am going to miss the Cthulhu days

I don’t know if I have fellow 90s cartoon geeks on here but; The Pirates of Dark Water is on TUBI!!!! I’ve never been able to find the 2 seasons that aired anywhere. Amazing for anyone who loves Fantasy Adventure with an otherworldly twist.

If you’re coming to @imaginefff.bsky.social to see me, these are the movies I am doing introductions for; Urotsukidoji (both screenings) “From Tentacle Erotica to Lovecraft” Angel’s Egg (second screening) Kinki (both screenings, you know I love me some Koji Shiraishi!) imaginefilmfestival.nl/en/

If you're still looking for non-movie things to watch for Halloween, I curated a list of 10 anthology episodes. 🎃 Read more at my site. #Horror

Time to start #HOOPTOBER12! I just saw that one of my list entries got added to Netflix: The Blackening Haven’t rewatched it since release and it really deserves a rewatch. To follow my list and review check here: boxd.it/O54UI

Javier Bardem at the #Emmys: "Here I am today denouncing the genocide in Gaza... Free Palestine!" (via @Variety)

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Amazing to see Demon Slayer break all the box office records and this time not hindered by a lockdown worldwide! The animation by Ufotable on this is as formidable as you can expect. They already showed their chops w/ final episode of the Hashira training Arc and the movie continues in that tone

Don’t Raw-Dog the Internet: Sooo ExpressVPN has been sold to a genocidal defense company that monitors and sells your data. Canceled my account and moved to the audited Surfshark (other options are NordVPN en ProtonVPN) If you wanna try it with coupon, use mine! surfshark.club/friend/m5Gxd...

Gege Akutami has announced a new manga series and it is starting next month already!!

Just gonna leave this here …. (I told you so ages ago!)

It’s time for #Hooptober! Yearly horror watch and review challenge. You can find the list and rules on Cinemonster’s LB. Will post here per title once we start. Got my letterboxd list ready to go: boxd.it/O54UI

Google is actively allowing countries that are committing a genocide to advertise their propaganda on YouTube on videos that are explaining why killing people is bad. Some of these ads as so racist and harmful, but yet they are freely allowed to target young people and kids (allegedly).

I need people presenting at large events to have a little more self-awareness and intercultural awareness. Or…. You know….. ask a more culturally diverse/intelligent person to do it.

Another victory for Netflix's champion KPop movie. I'll bet whoever gave them those girls is kicking themselves now.

"Across countries, support for public-interest research on technology is rapidly eroding, just as society’s need for it grows more urgent"

GKIDS will screen a 4K restoration of Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue film in theaters across the U․S. starting on October 3.

I’ve been on #tiffintok for a while now and the trails that are currently happening have me on the edge of my seat. Meanwhile I am wondering why can’t we do something like this in NL and then remember how expensive everything is in Europe 😭🥲

“a rambunctious ensemble clusterfuck messing online with its characters’ identity and reality”: Chris Marrs Piliero’s deepfake debut feature APPOFENIACS (2025) had its world premiere at @frightfest.bsky.social . Review for @scifinow.bsky.social www.scifinow.co.uk/reviews/appo...

The Cultured Curators are eating well this rest of the year with Frightfest, Brooklyn Horror, Imagine and more @culturedcurators.bsky.social @benhorrible.bsky.social

My little Frightfest 2025 thread: First movie was The Home with Pete Davidson. Opening the festival 🍀

Netflix is having some closed event in the middle of Leicester Square and my curiosity is peaked.

Love this! I’m a proud @dropout.tv subscriber and supporter

It’s that time of the year again! @frightfest.bsky.social

Zach Cregger’s WEAPONS may still be in theaters, but New Line and Warner Bros. are reportedly already in talks for a prequel that would explore one of the film’s standout characters.

Watched Weapons last week and have not been able to free up some time to write down my thoughts. In short: I liked it, go watch it Slightly longer: any allegory I want to mention is a spoiler, so I won’t for now

This is going on my order list

Vampire Knight returning with a new season after more than a decade in August 2025 was not on my bingo card. (Yes I have the FULL manga at home, including what happened with their kids) I don’t think we older anime fans are ready for this….

Started watching the anime TAKOPI today and I was not ready for the emotional distress and trauma triggers .... Only watch if you're read up on the content warnings please.

Love seeing @sharai.bsky.social and @xghorror.bsky.social live with @blerdymassacre.bsky.social at @accesshorror.bsky.social! Amazing convo about Horror old and new 🥰 I’m staying up late for this! #horrorsky

Yes, the American Eagle and Dunkin ads are about Eugenics. The whole purpose is the use of dog whistles. Is it weird? No, it fits the current zeitgeist perfectly as we move into a new phase where these beliefs are being normalised. It’s not normal, so always keep speaking up

Amidst the screams of onlookers, I had the opportunity to discuss Silent Hill f's new setting in Ebisugaoka, and try our best to avoid major story spoilers.

People might not know this about me: I looooooove both Hello Kitty and Miffy and collect cute items
