TOMORROW!

I was reminded I did a list of Petty Freddy quotes for @dreadcentral.bsky.social because that’s the kind of journalism I want to see in the world. www.dreadcentral.com/lists/433023...

I know SEO is beating all our asses, but if you have to do the “If You Like Sinners…” thing there are Black vampire movies, Black Southern Gothic films, etc. If you don’t have the range I will throw you suggestions, but can y’all please stop leading people to the whitest movies?

For Black vampires: Ganja & Hess Def by Temptation (succubus but still) The Transfiguration (Think Martin with a Black lead) For Black Southern Gothic: Eve’s Bayou Lovecraft Country (TV Series) Perfect Intersection of Both: Interview with the Vampire (TV Series)

More Black vamps that admittedly get further from the mission: Blade (trilogy) Vamp Blacula (1 and 2) Queen of the Damned True Blood (takes a few seasons tho) Vampire in Brooklyn Vampires Vs. The Bronx (Gentrification at its finest)

GM! If you loved #SINNERS and are looking for something to carry you through, may I suggest the Audiobook #OutThereScreaming. The short stories are AMAZING and there is even one from the incomparable @tananarivedue.bsky.social.

The mayor of Clarksdale, Mississippi, told TMZ that Warner Bros. is bringing a special screening of “Sinners” to the small town

It's that time again, and we're calling for FRESH BLOOD! #NightTideMag is looking for new contributors for our deep-diving horror mag. If this mission resonates with you, click that link to join our contributor pool! 👻📽️🩸✍️ forms.gle/rY1vageMxmFe...

It's been ten days since its release, & I can't stop thinking about it! The Ugly Stepsister (2025) is a viciously elegant descent into the body horror of beauty, status, and the monstrous cost of being chosen. 👻📽️ I dove into the violence of beauty for #NightTideMag. nighttidemag.com/2025/05/05/a...

I am beaming. We have reached Nolan’s Oppenheimer level of enthusiasm for IMAX experiences. Keep it coming! 👏🏾

Today is all about that galaxy far, far away. Now watching #StarWarsTalesoftheUnderworld. Let’s go get it Ventress!

A lovely tribute to the team at ILM and their innovative work that have aspired filmmakers and fans alike. And shoutout to Ahmed Best for being a real one in acknowledging the human cost to playing Jar Jar. Hope he’s feeling the love today because he didn’t deserve the hatred. #Light&Magic

Between the hubris of the Jedi and the fall of democracy, this film has aged like fine wine and gets better with every viewing. The emotional fallout from Order 66 still gets me, culminating in the epic fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin. Still thrilling to watch. #RevengeoftheSith #StarWars

Film fans breathe life into 'forgotten' IMAX cinema. FYI: @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Coming up next in @wshed.bsky.social season Walter Murch: The Art of the Cut - The Godfather. 11 May, 14.00. And don’t miss Murch himself, 15 May. Book here for this special evening: www.watershed.co.uk/whatson/1317...

It’s the Nanny… but 15 metres high!!!!

Our special screenings of Aliens and Tremors with this year's Forbidden Worlds Legend @galeannehurd.bsky.social are now SOLD OUT! Tickets are still available for Battle Beyond The Stars on Friday 30 May... but movie quickly! www.forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk

Hope to see you there! I’ll be sharing behind the scenes stories about making BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS and Jim Cameron’s remarkable early days in the film business!

“One of the things that attracted me to Bristol as a filmmaker is the city’s sense of independence and community. I’ve always found the film scene here to be friendly, welcoming, and inclusive.” thebristolmag.co.uk/my-bristol-l...

I promise a fun time at the movies, and many stories about the Making Of the film that no one has ever heard before…

You can't celebrate #StarWarsDay without celebrating the films that came out in the wake of its success... namely BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS - which you'll be able to watch on Bristol Megascreen on Friday 30 May with legendary producer @galeannehurd.bsky.social! www.forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk

Happy birthday to the one and only Lance Henriksen who, in 2023, sent us this special introduction to our screening of Pumpkinhead - which was the first time it had been shown on the big screen in the UK! youtu.be/4sORoJKU3TI?...

Now that's a Sunday afternoon!

And my wonderful friend and colleague - Sophie Mair - is introducing X! 🪓

This could be your only chance ever to see Bette Davis fifteen metres tall. Don't wake up tomorrow full of regrets.

I seem to have run out of pictures of superheroes punching Nazis so here, not unrelatedly, is Black Panther freeing himself from the cross on which the KKK tried to lynch him and about to kick a whole lot of Klan ass.

it'll be a hoot! @20thcflicks.bsky.social @brisblakhorrorclub.bsky.social @samespensen.bsky.social

Did you know that Bristol has an IMAX that lay abandoned for over a decade? Watch the World Premiere of Arthur Cauty's The Big Picture on the opening night (28 May) of this year's Forbidden Worlds Film Festival. www.forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk #Bristol #IMAX #FilmSky #70mm

My wife worked at the Bristol IMAX back in the day. The staff organised a film club after hours. I saw a VERY rough projection of Ghostbusters with them; the film had arrived in pieces and been taped back together an hour before the screening. Great fun.

Finally have (high school) students telling me they saw SINNERS. Word of mouth remains undefeated.
