MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III, TOMORROWLAND, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, AMERICAN SWEATSHOP, STREET KINGS, FRIDAY THE 13TH (2009), TIN CUP, SICK, CEREMONY, SINT, BOKEH, THE NEW DAUGHTER, THEY'RE PLAYING WITH FIRE... All bangers despite their Letterboxd ratings.

Only 3 episodes into season two, but I'm loving the choices being made with HIJACK. Could have easily played the DIE HARD route and just dropped Elba into another "normal" hijacking, but it's taking some big swings instead.

Plenty of great, high-profile "DIE HARD in a..." movies (like CLIFFHANGER and UNDER SIEGE), but some of my favorites tend to be the smaller gems.

100%, and that understanding is that they give zero shits what anyone -- Dems, everyday Americans, the courts -- think about them.

They'd never go for it, but districts should be assigned using a big grid. Use math so each square size averages 800k people -- the current average # of people represented by a congressperson -- and that's it. Squares with a dramatically lower population can fold into a neighbor. Done. No nonsense.

Hmm, seems like the right time to make a lowball offer on the home video rights to RUN HIDE FIGHT...

For @bloody-disgusting.com, as I continue to analyze horror remakes, I wrote about EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE and its "loose" 2013 remix. It's wild to compare a 1990s and 2010s erotic thriller, and examine how the sinful subgenre has evolved (er, devolved) over the decades.

Couldn't get a screener going on the TV, so fuck it, instead of kicking of May with a new movie, I'm starting the month with a first-time watch of... 1995's FIST OF THE NORTH STAR starring Gary Daniels, Malcolm McDowell, Clint Howard, Costas Mandylor, Chris Penn, and Downtown Julie Brown!

Spent the last half hour trying to get a screener to play on my TV. I don't understand how this process has gotten more complicated and obnoxious over the years instead of easier and smoother.

Wrote about some fun atypical Irish horror films that avoid the usual ghosts, folklore, etc. Was it mainly an opportunity to talk about my beloved and maligned RAWHEAD REX? Sure, but I also sing the praises of ISOLATION, DEAD MEAT, and more! bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...

I posted this on IG a while ago and it almost got my account deleted so since I just found it on my phone again and it's totally evergreen I guess it can live here now ✌️😘

"It’s difficult to view THE SACRAMENT as a standalone piece of media, especially because it’s most effective when paired with knowledge of the actual Jonestown massacre." We're kicking off May with @xtinemakepeace.bsky.social's analysis of Ti West and his found footage classic.

10 episodes to retell CAPE FEAR is... excessive. Still, I would watch it if they had gone less obvious with the two male leads. Make Javier Bardem the family man and Patrick Wilson the psycho, and then you'd have my attention.

Always been partial to the HUDSON HAWK novelization. A great read and an underrated movie. It's by Charles L. Grant, one of my all-time favorite writers, under a pseudonym that he also used for a series of very fun adventure novels.

This was an incredibly hard decision for me to make and I more than a little anxious & embarrassed to be at this point. But, I have been really unwell for a long time & I need your help. Anything, even sharing the link, is appreciated - gofund.me/432e7bafc

I'm indifferent to the games and past movies, and I was disappointed when it was announced that Cregger was making this as I'm a big BARBARIAN/WEAPONS fan who wants more of his original work, but... I'm a dumb dumb and this looks incredibly fun.

Where my FREEBIE AND THE BEAN heads at...

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

New Na Hong-jin alert! HOPE is maybe about a scary tiger and stars Jung Ho-yeon and Hwang Jung-min... and Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender?!

Don't worry, I made sure to include films starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Alan Arkin film too...

Celebrated Earth Day by checking out Lee Gambin's excellent commentary for the still-terrific DAY OF THE ANIMALS! bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...

Two things can be true. His opinion on the og can be buffoonery *and* that lack of affection for it might be what makes his take stand out from the mostly lackluster sequels/prequels/remakes. That said, I'm a big fan of the Netflix sequel, so...

Happy Arbor Day from us @terrorvisionvids.bsky.social! Grab the 4K UHD/BD of the lost slasher film ARBOR DAY (1990)! On sale over the weekend for 24.99: www.terror-vision.com/store/p/arbo...

Still a top 3 Wan.

A few weeks ago, we learned that BEHIND THE MASK II: THE RETURN OF LESLIE VERNON is officially coming. Last week, I sat down with director Scott Glosserman, writer David J. Stieve, and producer Aaron B. Koontz to gather whatever info I could. I've got the sequel deetz at @bloody-disgusting.com!

Was incredulous upon hearing of this performance of Eddie Vedder and Jeanne Tripplehorn-as-Julie Andrews covering the Stones' "Shattered," but having now watched lemme tell you this video sure is Eddie Vedder and Jeanne Tripplehorn-as-Julie Andrews doing the Stones' "Shattered" youtu.be/6VLAGhOetAk

The absolute worst thing about all of this is that now I have to stop criticizing the camerawork in found footage movies like CLOVERFIELD.

Happy ALIEN day.

Not a conspiracy guy, but it's interesting how this Secret Service evac looks exactly like it should... compared to the laughable antics at the Butler event where they not only kept him there but let him stand and fist pump. Just saying it's interesting!

Hurrr I can't figure out why people would vote for Graham Platner www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Ha, writing about RAWHEAD REX right now -- huge fan -- but I'm legit curious what newcomers will think of it.

The world would be a better place if people stopped looksmaxxing and started chattermaxxing.

This is incredible stuff. Cried from laughing more than once while watching.

He's going to die on camera--which will be the worst outcome for Republicans, the best outcome for the media, and the funniest outcome for the American people.

Wasn't easy, and I know I've missed some absolute classics, but I wrote about 15 of the best teen movies! Of course I included BATTLE ROYALE, OVER THE EDGE, LINDA LINDA LINDA, LITTLE DARLINGS, and more masterpieces. www.slashfilm.com/2149384/best...

Need a new region free player as my LG sometimes freezes up w/100gb 4K discs, was gonna go the Sony route, but saw @jlalibs.com pimping the Panasonic DP-UB820... and after a little bit of research, it looks like I'm buying a Panasonic. Wallet's not happy, but I hope to be!

Mmm, a lovely mail day.

Well, there go his chances of becoming a bottom bullfighter.

Nothing but respectful disagreement from me, but I will go to bat for half of these films!

This is a movie that 100% started with the title first and story second... and I am here for all of it.

"WE DO BEG YOUR PARDON, BUT WE ARE IN YOUR GARDEN." Laughing and crying for five minutes straight.

Don't really get pissed at movies, but... these two. One has the nerve to end with "it was all a dream," and the other is just a shit show wrap-up to an already weak trilogy.

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

I haven't worked on my birthday for the last thirty years.

I am seemingly incapable of purchasing a single item at a time. In a store, online, I will not check out until I have at least two things in my cart. It's how I walk into Walmart for a white t-shirt for kiddo to tie-dye at school, and walk out with Ghost Pepper cheddar cheese and Triscuits.
