I've recently decided that if I ever die in such a way that I have a chance to give last words like a stone cold MF'er I want them to be: "There are far worse things awaiting man than death. - Bela Lugosi, Dracula 1931" It is vital that the last words include properly citing the actor and movie.

So last October I got 31 horror movies in, but you know something? I think I can really get those numbers up this year. We're certainly off to... a start with 1981's The Funhouse, a movie that's determined to prove that carnivals are weird and unsettling even without a mutant killer in the mix.

Our podcast is on a break this week, but I've still got a slasher review to kick off the start of October! Mostly because I REFUSE to have forced myself to sit through The Strangers Chapter 2 and have it be for nothing. youtu.be/vVjX9wpIj3g

if you could please reblog / consider commissioning my husband! he's out of a job rn and he does the good art.

There's something really funny, and by funny I mean frustrating, about the Regal app being very in my face telling me "HEY THIS MOVIE'S OUT SOON GO GET TICKETS" and then when I select it there are no showtimes. Great. Thanks. Real useful info to tell me about this thing coming out.

FOLKS WE DID IT. WE FINALLY HAVE A RUNAWAY CONTENDER FOR WORST MOVIE OF THE YEAR, AND TO PROBABLY NO ONE'S SURPRISE IT'S THE STRANGERS CHAPTER TWO!!! LET'S GO TO THE TIER LIST!

Testing a theory: reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

I'm increasingly coming to the conclusion that Marvel's What If style of animation is very good at backgrounds and not very great at faces. Which feels like kind of a problem when a lot of your actors aren't traditional voice actors and having much more expressive faces would go a long way.

And now I'm very glad I didn't immediately reactivate my Disney+. Might as well keep saving myself some money.

So I finally watched Bo Burnham: Inside. I think I picked the wrong year to do so.

I am not surprised at the unveiling of a Stan Lee AI hologram, but I am both disgusted and disappointed.

OKAY, so in the interests of not only getting back into posting but also trying to maintain some personal balance, here's our latest podcast episode where we review both The Long Walk AND Spinal Tap II. With no major spoilers for either, for once. 😅 youtu.be/r2pyA2Ua2fQ

Just took the "cancelling my Disney+ subscription" step tonight. So I guess it's time for the posting step. #BOYCOTTDISNEYABC

Hwelp, of all the reasons to potentially pull the plug on my Disney+, this was not the one I was hoping for. apnews.com/article/jimm...

When you're almost done putting your best of 2024 video together: 😀 When you realize it's almost October of 2025: 😭

Get your COVID shots, y'all! A great thing to do TODAY if you have a minute.

Oooookay, after an extended "social media scrolling is not the best thing for me" break, think it's time to take another swing at regular posting. Mostly just wanted to chime in for now that yes, I do still exist.

Anyone wanna help your boi hit the big 2k on Bluesky? Let ya homies know about the homie DJ Trooz 😎 Big into music and Digimon! I love streaming and making content on my favorite media. I can talk to pretty much anyone and level with you 💯 I love nerding out with people!

This is probably more a statement on my viewing habits but Bring Her Back might be the first horror movie I've seen that I liked so much I might never watch it again* just for how emotionally taxing and viscerally unpleasant in the best way possible it is. *not even to subject a friend to it

If this post gets 100 likes or more, I'll tease an entire track from Digi-Jamz Vol. 2 here on the skyline. A two minute song 👀 #Digimon #music #musicsky #promosky

So I'd be remiss if I didn't point out we have a new podcast episode out this week: youtu.be/xUJRMGt7tC8 But I ALSO really want the latest short to get 100 likes so I can force Greg to watch TWO shark movies as penance for his bad opinions, so if you could drop a like? youtube.com/shorts/7ohz9...

GUYS. The comment period for this ends in THREE DAYS. PLEASE if you have even a little bit of time, submit a comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD... Let them know EVERYONE should be able to get COVID vaccines. They BACK DOWN when WE PUSH BACK. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

Mildreth of the Night update! Mildreth is not happy with the latest turn of events. mildreth.thecomicseries.com/comics/178/

Y'know what, I'm gonna go ambitious (for me at least); if this short gets 100 likes I will talk Greg into doing some kind of Jaws vs. Sharknado video. So share this around if you want to see that! (Also maybe subscribe while you're checking it out please and thank you) youtube.com/shorts/7ohz9...

Well that's a way to close out a week. If you're wondering why I used this format it's because I forgot to log watching "Dracula, 3000" a week and a half ago so it pops up in my last four on recent activity despite not actually being in the last four. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

So I tried watching the first Final Destination years ago, not my bag, couldn't get through it. But in honor of Tony Todd, tonight I watch Bloodlines. And then Candyman if it turns out I still don't fuck with Final Destination.

Alright, finally got around the problem with the short I was trying to upload last weekend. So have a few minutes that encapsulates why I'm very mad at The Rock! youtube.com/shorts/dyjJ_...

I almost want to say the movie I saw this weekend might've been a little on the nose. But I can't really say "sorry, Clown In A Cornfield wasn't avant-garde enough for my delicate cinematic sensibilities" when my favorite movie of last year was Hundreds of Beavers. This was a lot of fun.

Oh good the basic editing software that my basic pumpkin spice latte drinking ass used for editing is refusing to export. Might need to put a pause on shorts and Poorly Explained Comics while I teach myself how to edit in an actual system. That's what I get for leaning on "good enough" for so long.

Okay y'know what? I liked Thunderbolts* and I won't take points off just because Marvel apparently decided to go full blown spoilers with marketing after opening weekend. But BOY HOWDY is the asterisk twist rapidly starting to feel tone deaf and obnoxious.

"waaahh its hard growing up a boy" motherfucker its hard growing up as anyone, anywhere, but growing up a white boy is the easiest character roll you can get. the manliest thing you can do is shut the fuck up and learn to be nice to people?

Okay so in hindsight after watching Thunderbolts* the only thing I accomplished with this episode of Synema Cinergy was convincing Greg to rewatch a movie we didn't like the first time and still not liking it. If you want to like and subscribe for our pain I'd appreciate it? youtu.be/-QjAtRhDVbg

Y'know I feel like this is really just a me problem, but I honestly wonder if I might've had a better time with Until Dawn despite my own skepticism? youtu.be/NsHH_OLFwN8

This feels like a weird hang-up but I hate recipes that call for "(x) apples" and don't specify the type. I'm not a chef but I know there's a BUNCH of kinds and they taste different. I don't need the exact type but like, where on the color spectrum are we talking here?

Okay NOW, via the podcast, I can tell you about how Sinners is the best thing I've seen this year so far by a pretty wide margin. youtu.be/8hvmoYE3sEU

Y'know I'm just now realizing the inherent irony in releasing a movie called Sinners on Easter weekend... that's pretty good. Anyways we decided to look at a different Ryan Coogler movie for the latest Synema Cinergy! youtu.be/BvX9CqVchr4

Gonna go more in-depth on this week's Under The Bridge obviously, but Sinners is easily the best movie I've seen this year so far, and with no offense intended to any of my other favorite movies so far this year, it's not particularly close. You should go see it!

This week's short highlights a brand new fear to talk with my non-existent therapist about! youtube.com/shorts/hjM3p...

Take it from someone who spent a lot of childhood/adolescence being obsessed with Harry Potter. It is easier than you think to just stop giving a fuck about Harry Potter. I stopped right around the second Fantastic Beasts movie.

The anti-woke crusade was about shutting people up. Think something is bigoted? Keep that criticism to yourself, or at least watch how you say it. No, that doesn’t mean every criticism of DEI or whatever was baseless. It means the reaction was way out of proportion, and brought about much worse.

... It only just now occurs to me that a sad amount of what I know about Marvel is based in the mid-late 2000's Civil War/Dark Reign era. youtu.be/HvvXKHMF4fI

Hwelp, finally figured out how to use the Poke Radar properly. This is going to pose a time-management issue for the forseeable future.

Alright, been a minute, but here's how 2025 is going so far, movie-wise.

Welcome to the latest Avengers movie, where the majority of the cast are the Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts and X-Men, and most of the returning Avengers are from the Infinity Saga. If this is the full list, I'm not gonna lie... I'm nettled.

Alright I finally figured out where to put Snow White on the 2025 tier list. Which is good, because we had a podcast episode to make! youtu.be/FWbHA47_vkY

So I'm still trying to sort out my thoughts on the new Snow White, but in the meantime, have a video about the time that the studio behind He-Man decided to make a Snow White sequel! youtu.be/7cXgLj89y74
