In Seattle I LOVE BOOSTERS is stilling playing at the Uptown. Seems like a long time for a movie to play these days. (And an excuse to repost my review of a movie I really liked.)

*CLAPPY HANDS* BRING US HOME, DENIS! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ndvq...

NO ONE ASKED ME BUT: I am interested in what McBride & Co have with their take on a #GIJOE movie. I always see the potential in things (which mostly doesn't work out) and the idea of a Joe team stuck inside a town controlled by COBRA sounds like a banging way to go! You go from an organized group-

The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.

On VOD tomorrow!

FRIDAY THE 13TH: RESURRECTION (Scott Spiegel, 1989) A grieving Pamela Voorhees calls on dark magic and blood sacrifice to resurrect her dead son. Meanwhile, Camp Crystal Lake is undergoing renovation. Starring  Betsy Palmer, Kane Hodder, John Saxon, Felissa Rose, and Ted Raimi.

I spent my 4th of July watching a Prince concert and DO THE RIGHT THING. I am making this article free for a day or two because it really punched me in the face again last night. DO THE RIGHT THING is one of the very best films about America. Ever. By anyone. www.drewmcweeny.com/the-hip-pock...

Hello, is my birthday and I would be so happy if you shared my art. 💖😌

Randy Quaid. The last known photo was taken of him thirty years ago today. And he was never seen again.

4th of July in front of the White House in 100*F heat

In case you haven't seen this today.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

*reading all the weather stuff in Washington DC tonight* I still need to blow out the candle of my birthday cake... #IsTodayTheDay

I try to watch CA: THE WINTER SOLDIER on my b-day. I love Steve's speech. But the moment following with a tech person is told to do something that they simply cannot. "I won't launch those ships." Captain's orders." Happy 4th of July 250th Anniversary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3tO...

I'm a little late this year, but I just wanted to say- If you don't feel particularly happy about celebrating the holiday/250th, FEEL FREE TO USE MY BIRTHDAY as the reason you are celebrating!* PARTY FOR ME, MY PEOPLES! PARTY ON WAYNE! STATION! Have some BBQ & cake on me! *Non-Illegal

Happy Birthday Debbie

Sorry I'm late.... #HappyPride

Suuurrreee. Why Not!

Sick and recovering for half a month now. Slow going but still going. Just some pictures to remind me of happier times and when I was "Cool." (NAHHHH! I'm never cool- BUT I can rock my personal tux!)

No AI! Posting just one piece for this. The mother of the anti-AI movement and a cinematic hero of mine. I drew this with pencil and ink on watercolor paper.

I may not have the Tartan Army in Boston to joyfully amuse me. But Europeans trying American food DOES put a smile on my face!

I wonder if ROCK OF AGES can be turned into some ad-hoc QUEEN OF THE DAMN sequel to IwtV...

Note from my notebook (2017). Still true.

Obsession's success is great, but it's rare. And making indie movies in this business has become harder than ever. I'm old enough to remember when there were literal arms of major studios dedicated to independent productions. Sadly those days are long behind us. www.vulture.com/article/indi...

Hey everyone! My celebration of THE LAST STARFIGHTER is live & I hope y’all enjoy it. It’s a film that’s meant the world to me for a very long time: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/summer-of-mo... Available for both free & paid subscribers - shares would be greatly appreciated! Cheers! 🚀

NECA Friday the 13th: The Game Ultimate Savini Jason, coming this summer.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula. 🦇 My pencil, ink, white charcoal, and gouache stars drawing of Santanico Pandemonium from 🔥FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (1996)🔥. Done on watercolor paper. ‪

My response to AJ 2 days ago about needing another Ernest Dickerson movie: "The world needs another Ernest Dickerson movie... and another Ernest Dickerson horror film... AND another Ernest Dickerson siege movie...." SO HAPPY to see the Universe picked this up!

Writer Types: Have you ever come up with an idea that is good... but is not "you." As in, you feel like you got delivered and idea by Your Muse, but it was "addressed to the wrong person." That someone else would be better at developing and writing it?

I watch the trailer, liking the basic idea... even if it's on Netflix. And there there's a Moment. And now I'm like, "OH. They are NOT fucking around." Color me teased.

Welll, this blew up out of nowhere! 😁 Among the quotes that have stayed with me since I saw the movie opening weekend: "Jim, I'm your doctor and I'm also your friend. Get back your command! Get it back before you turn into part of this collection... before you really do grow old."

Happy birthday to GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH! Here’s a fun piece I wrote celebrating this wonderfully zany classic: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/35-years-lat...

"There's a man out there I haven't seen in fifteen years who's trying to kill me. You show me a son that'd be happy to help. My son... my life that could have been... and wasn't. How do I feel? Old... worn out" There's a lot to be said about Shatner's acting ability. But this is him at his best.

I think this captures the current moment of New York joy amidst federal angst in a way that is especially comprehensible to elder millennials like me Also, I would have absolutely watched this movie on WPIX every other weekend afternoon

"There's NO WAY that I'll go see THE HUNT FOR GOLLUM!" *looks at Instagram* "Now now! MAYBE I was too harsh..." She's GOTTA be an elf, right? RIGHT?!? www.instagram.com/reel/DZnhOxu...

"And AI. I mean, he would be writing about AI right now, and thinking, danger! What the fuck are you doing, you people?" - Suzanne Romero reflects on her late husband's legacy in my new feature on Scream Factory's DAY OF THE DEAD 4K restoration. Out tomorrow!

I like MMA but I think watching UFC after this would be like stumping for Leni Riefenstahl post-TRIUMPH OF THE WILL because of her technical achievements and earlier work.

"You know what Markinson did for the first 17 of his 26 years in the Corps? Counter intelligence. Markinson's GONE! There is NO Markinson." Great line reading by Kevin Bacon!

THE BEDFORD INCIDENT (1965)

Uh, guys. This is bad. Like BAD BAD. Like Friday the 13th before it, this lawsuit will absolutely kill movement on the next film and potentially pause Art's Dead By Dawn release. And if they're right, Leone is gonna end up owing so much money. What a clusterfuck. www.complex.com/pop-culture/...

Wanna come to CFF but the state of our shitass economy got ya down? GOOD NEWS! Our pals at local NPR affiliate WUTC are doing a badge giveaway and the winner could be YOU!

I am NOT hoping for it, nor wishing for it to happen. BUT.. ...if the ring collapses during the show, I will be UTTERLY UNSURPRISED.

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

RANDOM MEMORY: I saw NINJA ASSASSIN the Sunday of opening weekend in '09 with a younger friend of mine. I was enjoying it immensely, and leaned over at one to her and said, "The only thing this movie is missing is Sho Kusugi!" And then MUTHAFUCKIN' SHO KUSUGI SHOWED UP! That was a great screnning
