i don't want to be "dropped" into an "interactive experience." i want a search engine that doesn't suck fucking butts

we really need a word for the Colleen Hoover/prestige Lifetime movie genre that has unsurprisingly taken off in tandem with the rise of fascism. tradsploitation?

i found my old LiveJournal, in case you were wondering what the 20-year-old version of me thought of the Michael Keaton film White Noise

trying to get in touch with someone in the archives department at NBC Universal for a project. let me know if you might be able to help!

So today I set a personal record for fastest time between the "got your draft, looking at it now" emoji in Slack and being booted from said Slack, fired from a regular PT gig. I appreciate some free time but also would like to review some movies and stuff so if any editors want fast clean copy, HMU

We launched the campaign for First In Fright: The FANGORIA Compendium six months ago. I was scared to death we wouldn't make our $25k funding goal in the 30 days provided. We made it in under an hour. Since then, we've blown past every stretch goal we set for this sucker. It ends today, at noon PST.

like we're all aware this is happening but it still sounds stupid insane in a sentence

I wrote a messy run through about the messy history of a beautiful, complex movie for Fango. Find out some of the puritanical reasons you couldn’t watch Ken Russell’s THE DEVILS as intended for nearly 60 years. www.fangoria.com/directors-cu...

trying to set up an interview with John Early for this and looking for an outlet to run it. if you know of any editors/pubs that might be interested, send me a DM!

last week, i called Richard Kelly while he was killing time at the airport to talk about how Southland Tales predicted the future

ICYMI I wrote about life, death, and finding meaning when your body fights you every step of the way ratcandy.art/blog/bodies

This past week, photographer/Fango contributor Liz Liguori, after having her nose broken by cops while protesting an animal research facility in Wisconsin, drove back there (from NY) and helped rescue 1500 beagles. I’m in awe of her. The beagles still need our help! www.instagram.com/reel/DX4lBeS...

hardly a new observation but fans have been given entirely too much power. it's embarrassing.

somehow Longlegs returned

me, a 40 year old woman, bravely: i don’t care about Practical Magic and i never have

they say it’s impossible to improve on perfection but these mfs have done it again. do you remember when Gushers were good? Nerds remembers

A huge thank you to @fangoria.bsky.social for revealing the cover of CURSE OF THE WHERE WOLF, my new graphic novel with artist Debora Lancianese and letterer Jack Morelli. I'll have a lot more information to share about this book soon, but - in the meantime - mark your calendars for August 7!

if jobs have taught me anything over the past 40 years it's that managers actually really hate when you have critical thinking skills and care about people

love Greta Leta

This one is straight from the heart. I hope you'll read it! www.rogerebert.com/ebertfest/lo...

I wrote about a film I really adored for @thefilmstage.com, david lowery’s MOTHER MARY. thefilmstage.com/mother-mary-...

“hello everybody!” is objectively the funniest way to start a manifesto

it’s actually kind of crazy how many people want to kill that man

god this is so good @saraiya.bsky.social slate.com/culture/2026...

callum turner looks like he's seeing a script IRL for the first time. absolute dipshit casting

wrote about David Lowery's transcendent new film, Mother Mary, in my first piece for @truthdig.com:

I genuinely think some people do not want to look this in the eye/think about it because it is so awful. We wrote what I thought was a pretty eye-opening story about all this and I was surprised by the lack of engagement tbh
