like a ton of people - i'm watching a ton of horror movies in #spooktober Logging them here... letterboxd.com/skhellter/

youtu.be/dpE3h78dYec?... writing music as of late...

Reproduction of Giger's original Alien head at the top, #alienearth creature design at the bottom. Weta's looks like an inbred cousin. the seam in the dome is the kind of thing only toys had up to this point... did they.. copy action figures for their design?..

can we let horny weirdos make and design these things again im turning to dust

Alien Earth is over the most enjoyment I got was doing this to its hideous xenomorph

Alien (1979): The truth about the inside of the Narcissus model (from The Beast Within: Making Alien)

Alien Earth ended and what began with promise petered out into a gigantic mess. With the ugliest xenomorph designs on screen, it wasn't particularly good at creating the minute to minute tension that is the lifeblood of Alien.. and even at 8 hours the Neverland storyline felt ..undercooked.

Having reinvented the #Predator franchise with Prey, Dan Trachtenberg is preparing to do it again with Predator: Badlands. Empire heads into the jungle with Trachtenberg and his cast to get the lowdown on a Predator movie unlike any other. READ MORE: www.empireonline.com/movies/news/...

Been liking the show so far.. with last week's episode being the sole exception - it being a Ridley Scott cosplay hour, with some bizarre bad decisions on how to shoot the alien suit. Show is at its best when it's actually focusing on newer material. Looking forward to this weeks episode..

When I was announced as the lead in a Doctor Who spinoff in 2023 Graham Linehan tweeted about me for TWO DAYS, tagging the BBC and others to say that I am pro-child abuse and they shouldn't work with me.

Exorcist 2 is brilliant. Don’t believe the naysayers. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

A video on the hate campaign against Ms. Rachel for being pro-Palestinian children, but really a video about right-wing attacks on children's early education, but really a video about the importance of emotional literacy. Fantastic watch

finding out this was a real screenshot did more to sell me on watching Alien: Earth than any amount of marketing thus far. also Lillian is right, show is good

www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMCI... Just watched the first 2 episodes. Oh. It's very good. the scale is gigantic and has been undersold by the trailers. Makes Prometheus look tiny. Feels like a dark horse comic in terms of tone.

checking my island on WPlace and.. SIGNALIS SPOTTED. (there's also a trans rights in there somewhere.. the kids are alright)..

youtu.be/43R9l7EkJwE !!! hell yeah

The Eternaut (Oesterheld/Breccia) is one of the greatest comics ever created. It was created in a time of rising political dictatorship and its author was “disappeared” a few years later. I beg you to go and read it. It is the last story on earth that should have gotten the AI slop treatment.

Gender affirming care for cis folks gets celebrated.

finished Halo3 - ODST... and this story is great, accessible via messages you find as you explore the New Mombasa map. It's a good short story, like a Halo version of Miracle Mile.

Captured some of the underwater world in Lake Bohinj before the storm hit yesterday afternoon.

Saw it. Had fun with it. Those opening 30 minutes are a drag, though. With some of the most painful "please care about these characters" pleas in a while. No, i don't care that Scarjo's Blackwater PMC friend died in Yemen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jan5...

Very well deserved. One of the finest actors ever.

Hey folks, it feels awful to ask but this is where things are at. Any help covering moving and bills and other costs will help Echo and I so much gofund.me/e1f8aa33

Stopped my HALO journey to play Blood (finally). Incredible game. Almost done.. 4 levels left.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eAf...

there should be a Death to the IDF remix competition, tbh.

Love when fantasy understands that green fire is simply the coolest

real catchy.

Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is.

Lalo Schifrin, the Grammy-winning composer of Mission: Impossible and film scores including Cool Hand Luke, Dirty Harry, and Bullitt, died Thursday of complications from pneumonia. He was 93. variety.com/2025/music/n...

New from me, on The Guardian (!!): Generative AI is causing new, unusual problems for game developers — people are being accused of using it, even when they say they haven't. Building trust between a studio and its player base is more important than ever. www.theguardian.com/games/2025/j...

Immediately after the publication of our article, Anthony Bourdain sent us a DM. He and Christopher Doyle were filming the Parts Unknown episode in Hong Kong at the time. He asked to speak with us by phone. What followed was one of the most beautiful things that happened to us at C&B. Ever.

youtu.be/E3E0MOhse74 grabbed this on steam. Has a damn good soundtrack (LFO, Autechre.. .tons of techno and trip hop)..

46 years of chestbursters, xenomorphs & pure cinematic terror! Ridley Scott’s Alien debuted on this day in 1979—and changed sci-fi horror forever. Dive deep into its creation with rare insights, interviews & more: 👉 cinephiliabeyond.org/alien-40th-a...

youtu.be/gVFEVXIyu00 rewatched this with friends who had no clue what they were in for (hadn't even seen the trailer) and... it's glorious fun.

Youtube adverts were bad enough but they've only gotten worse with AI slop. Jesus.

so we just figured out why the new Predator movie had the production codename of "Backpack"

I would like to believe this is common knowledge by now but it deserves an occasional reminder: consuming HP media actively funds attacks on trans rights

Shout-out to @dofresh.bsky.social - one of my favorite working artists. The way he designs vehicles and chooses viewpoints is matched only by the quality of his drawing/painting. I'm always in awe of *every* piece of concept art he creates. One day I'll make a book of his work. 🤞

Pree-day-torr

so the Alien Earth tv show has a little critter that attacks people's faces and turns them into zombies.... and the old Alien 2 Sulla Terra italian rip off movie had a monster that worked similarly. lol Hope someone asks Noah Hawley about this

www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB8v... hmm.. footage is looking better and better...
