I will say, at least the Avatar movies express a coherent worldview, even if it’s just treehugging burnt-out former hippie liberalism.

You can't keep a good dog down, or in this case a good con artist. It's the second installment of Fury by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore, from the June 1947 issue of Astounding! sffremembrance.com/2025/12/18/s...

Can someone please do it already?

Editorial for today is a bit of a dark one. Sometimes it really does feel like the world is ending, but not in the way we've been taught to expect. Capitalism has taken the place of nuclear weapons as our preferred means of self-destruction. sffremembrance.com/2025/12/15/t...

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Some say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it also takes a forest to make a violin. It's "An Important Failure" by Rebecca Campbell, from the August 2020 issue of Clarkesworld! sffremembrance.com/2025/12/13/s...

Inglorious Basterds is probably the closest we have to a mainstream Israeli fascist movie.

Both vengeance and his birthright will be his. It’s the first installment of Fury by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore, from the May 1947 issue of Astounding Science Fiction! sffremembrance.com/2025/12/08/s...

“Right-wing Christian furry” is such a funny combo.

Christmastime is upon us, and so is this month’s review forecast. We’ve got Philip K. Dick’s debut novel, Nancy Kress’s debut short story, and more! sffremembrance.com/2025/12/01/t...

PTA is easily one of my favorite filmmakers and OBAA is one of the best movies I’ve seen in like the past five years. I also lowkey need someone to get his ass in public.

Hoping when Bernie dies that DSA people will stop lionizing a guy who’s a Zionist and a xenophobe.

Everyone deserves companionship, although we don't always ask for it. It's "I Live with You" by Carol Emshwiller, from the March 2005 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction! sffremembrance.com/2025/11/26/s...

Don’t enjoy The Last Jedi much, but I appreciate that it treats fandom with absolute contempt.

Hell might be other people, but then it might just be yourself. It's the final installment of Inferno by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, from the October 1975 issue of Galaxy! sffremembrance.com/2025/11/23/s...

Unfortunately we will never get a creative curveball from Disney like Return to Oz ever again.

One shouldn't play God, lest your playthings BECOME God. It's "The Region Between" by Harlan Ellison, from the March 1970 issue of Galaxy! sffremembrance.com/2025/11/19/n...

Would be cool if there was a democratic socialism that wasn’t patriotic/xenophobic.

My forehead is fucking monstrous.

Don’t go dark on me, Bob.

We knocked on the doors of Hell's darker chamber. Pushed to the limit, we dragged ourselves in. It's the second installment of Inferno by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, from the September 1975 issue of Galaxy! sffremembrance.com/2025/11/15/s...

Ya know, Trump has talked shit about Hillary Clinton a lot over the years, but has said very little bad about Bill.

Possibly the worst filmography of any current Hollywood director.

Jonny Greenwood is kind of a shithead who’s been complicit in the mass slaughter of Palestinians……… but he do be really good at scoring movies.

I just realized, what were the odds we’d get two Richard Bachman movie adaptations in the same year?

Now this is what I call a title for a fucking crime novel.

The old Eyes Wide Shut Blu-Ray never looked good and some of you are just coping with that.

The cognitive dissonance (and moral depravity) required to believe people who work in a city and contribute to its culture must bend over backwards to live there while some people are entitled to live comfortably in Israel for being Jewish.

Got two fat babies with me at work.

What was done in youth cannot be undone in age. It's "The Old Nurse's Story" by Elizabeth Gaskell, first published in 1852 and reprinted in the October 1927 issue of Weird Tales! sffremembrance.com/2025/11/10/s...

That GDT's Frankenstein feels watered down compared to the novel is forgivable, if not inevitable; that it feels watered down even when compared to the 1931 movie is a lot harder to forgive.

Some of the effects in Frankenstein are lowkey embarrassing, which is weird because del Toro movies at least tend to look good.

When bro said “You’re the monster” I fucking cackled for a second.

Do people forget that like, the monster in Frankenstein the novel is a serial killer and misogynist?

We have all these goddamn Frankenstein movies, meanwhile I’m still waiting on a good movie adaptation of The Monk.

There’s something missing about GDT’s movies, even his best, that prevents him from being one of The Greats™ imo. It’s a hard-to-define quality, or rather lack of a certain quality, that prevents my favorites of his from going above an 8/10.

Bresson is one of those artists where his hatred of capitalism seems to be a byproduct of his hatred of modernity. His view of the post-industrial landscape, in which even supposed believers are cynical about their faith and the hustle is never-ending, is grim.

Had my eye on this baby since college, and now I finally have my hands on a copy.

I’ve been reading Raymond Chandler’s novels in order. Started The High Window, and this one might have the most jokes so far.

Okay, maybe Yakub did create MrBeast in a lab.

When someone says they're a Dostoevsky fan I feel tempted to ask them if they're a chud or an actually intelligent person.

We're in the hands of infinite power and infinite sadism. It's the first installment of INFERNO by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, from the August 1975 issue of Galaxy! sffremembrance.com/2025/11/07/s...

If there's one thing I hate about DSA (like actually, we're not talking just cringe stuff) it's the patriotism. Like I do not give a fuck if you "love America," the reason you're a socialist is that you wanna HELP PEOPLE, and that should include people who are not Americans.

Oxford World’s Classics haul.

Kind of an impromptu editorial for this early in the month, but it's about a spooky movie I love. Carnival of Souls was a forgotten gem 50 years ago but is now a cult classic. I have reasons for why that might be. sffremembrance.com/2025/11/05/t...

Woke sends its regards.

Thinking about Carnival of Souls.

Thinking about when Paul Schrader talked shit about Roger Corman right after he died. Well, Corman died a beloved and respected elder statesman while Schrader is now unspeakable levels of washed, so who got the last laugh?

One of the most bewildering storytelling choices in The Force Awakens is that several PLANETS get destroyed, like at least a few billion people there, and nobody gives a fuck for the rest of the trilogy. It's kinda just one more bad thing Kylo Ren does.
