Inside you are two wolves, five sled dogs, eight Norwegian research scientists, Bennings, Norris, Palmer, Windows, Fuchs, Nauls, Blair, Garry, and Doc Copper.

Rewatched Alien Covenant. I think it’s much better on a second watch. Side thought: so much of Ridley Scott’s work is about mother and father, and so much of Tony’s was about bros. Kinda tells you something sad and poignant about their childhood

the bread giant rises - slowly - strides out across the fields to find the wicker man, kick his arse and turn him into a breadbasket

The witch trials of 1612 still cast a long shadow.

Huh! Today I learned… Miguel Ferrer - Albert from TWIN PEAKS / Bob Morton from ROBOCOP - was George Clooney’s cousin

Tech industry: we’re like THIS far 👉 👈 from superhuman AGI Also tech industry: there’s literally nothing we can do about the 1,000 texts a day from “indeed recruiting” and “tik tok hr”, it’s an ontological inevitability just while I’m getting things off my chest

Listening to the new @realmsunknown.bsky.social and spotting that Apple Podcasts’ transcription model thinks it’s called “Chad GPT” has made my morning

Twenty-two Centimetre Nails

The thing I like the most about this Max Ernst painting, is that all the paintings on their walls look like Max Ernst paintings

Check the caption below the logo itself. Great point well made 👏

There’s a bit much earlier where you’re looking at a shot of the lobby and you’re like, is that Chekhov’s Dirt Bike or Chekhov’s Samurai Sword? Then you find out it’s both

Finding a spoon marked Hospital Property in your drawer and neither of you know where it came from? Sure, not creepy at all, I guess

We got the Best Camera haunted ouija board trophy! 🎉 Huge shout out to our dp Paul Curran and his crazy crash zooms and chicken povs No category for music or sound - I hear people have been lobbying @666challenge.bsky.social to bring that in next year 🤞

Based on other people’s responses to this question, I might have misread the tone a bit

Went to see INFINITY POOL with @hexadecibelle.fyi at a special screening with @danmartin.bsky.social doing a Q&A Just after the psychedelic orgy scene, someone 5 rows behind us had a seizure

If they make another Star Trek movie, can we have James Gunn direct it? Not because of his directorial skills; I just think it’s about time a narrative included Gunn’s Chekov.

TBF having listened to the pod it sounds like a very different vibe and I’m kinda curious to track it down now. Less mindless fungal zombies, more seductive mycelial hivemind

More people are considering AI lovers and we shouldn’t judge.

They’re doing MATANGO or ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE (1963) on @randomhorror9.bsky.social and I’m thinking… Is there a blockbuster game series and prestige 2020s tv adaptation that owes a little to this b-movie 🤔

Good morning I have an idea for the next FINAL DESTINATION film

Share a piece of lore about yourself I once got thrown out of a pub for (direct quote) “doing witchcraft”

Looking back, 2024 was a great year for horror, but I think I’ve retconned this into my number 2 slot And number 1 was a French production too, good work mes amis

Fashionably late to the party here but MADS is superb. So many reasons to love it. The incredible physical performances, the unrelenting tension, the immersive sense of chaos and inevitability… and of course the insane filmmaking stunt of 90 mins on location across a whole town in one shot

“PLAY DIRECTLY FROM MIDI” omg I love this

@leahschnelbach.bsky.social has declared: It's an Irish horror summer. Here's 15 Irish horror films that take new and refreshing directions on horror tropes, even if that means holding space for a psychic driving instructor: reactormag.com/15-irish-hor...
