Need to nuke my reddit, people keep replying to years-old posts I made, like, what do you want me to say, you weirdos, half of my body has fully regrown its cells since I posted this Star War comment.

THE LIFE AQUATIC is not my favorite Wes Anderson movie. But Willem Dafoe’s Klaus IS my favorite Wes Anderson character. #filmsky

Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all! www.kickstarter.com/projects/kit...

BLACKHAT is not a perfect movie, but Mann's conception of the new face of evil being a dead-eyed slob playing at godhood, reducing all human life to data points while being utterly disconnected from their own actions by virtue of their tech was...on point.

Calling it “hallucinations” is kind of giving the game away that AI isn’t actually “intelligent.” If it were, we’d call it “lies.”

I see Wes Anderson directed this

The wilhelm scream isn't funny. Those characters are dying

A reminder that Fandango At Home offers a killer deal on the FRIDAY THE 13TH franchise (1-8) every Friday the 13th for $13. I have my Shout Factory set but it’s just such a damn good deal, I gotta share it: athome.fandango.com/content/brow...

This year is a very special year for horror fans, because it's the first time in eleven years that three Friday the 13ths will be taking place in a single year! That happens to be the maximum amount of Friday the 13ths that can exist in a single year, and it won't happen again until 2037.

Cinema.

Last year, I also celebrated what I think is the definitive scene in the FRIDAY THE 13TH franchise because, in this moment, a legend was born: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/lets-talk-ab... #Fridaythe13th

I was semifinalist in a screenwriting competition that was won by “HUGH JACKMAN STOLE MY HUSBAND.” I’m going to pretend this is that script after producers workshopped the title/premise. “Well, we can’t afford Hugh. What about Statham? He’ll never go for the husband bit. A bike maybe.” #scriptsky

Starting my franchise rewatch. Not sure how deep I’ll get today or how much this list will change, but here’s the definitive FRIDAY THE 13th RANKING* *for now #filmsky boxd.it/d3vly

You could put this shit in, like, the climax of “In the Mouth of Madness” or something.

The Reznor/Ross score for TMNT: MUTANT MAYHEM is one of the few times a score is SO good that it manages to step out of the shadow of the plentiful (and potent) needle drops. Up there with CHALLENGERS and WATCHMEN as their best non-Fincher scores. #filmsky

Okay, I know what you’re saying. I’m way too kind to franchise films and like “vs” films way more than is reasonable. But ya’ll are sleeping on BATMAN VS. TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES. It’s kind of angering how much this thing delivers on everything it promises. #filmsky

Got dental work today and it sucked. But if you want to put a smile back on my face, give a little something to Ofrenda’s Kickstarter. #filmsky #scriptsky #filmmaking www.kickstarter.com/projects/kit...

Any screenwriters have any experience with ISA (International Screenwriters Association)? I’m suddenly getting a ton of emails from them and the $10 a month doesn’t seem awful but is there actual utility there? #scriptsky #horrorsky

If the superhero craze existed in the 40s, Mickey Rooney would’ve played Spider-Man and Judy Garland would’ve been Mary Jane, huh? #filmsky

I get that people need to make money, etc but I really miss the Goofy Little Niche Blog That Nobody Expects to Make Money, lost to social media and the influencer culture

Gained a newfound appreciation for the distinct sheen of each Michael Bay movie when I celebrated Baycember back in 2024.

Also, THE Jack Reacher plays Raphael. Not feeling full reassessment yet but I do think I was too hard on this iteration of TMNT.

I hope Flannigan is just putting in the work to build a foundation for his DARK TOWER, so that it can tie into all of these other King adaptations he’s doing. Otherwise, I’m gonna start wondering why he’s perusing ones with stone cold classic film versions like CARRIE and THE MIST. #filmsky

Say what you will about Bay’s Transformers films and his produced TMNT flicks, but those films knew how to saturate their images. Positively VIBRANT image making compared to current blockbuster aesthetics. Mind boggling how gray everything is now in comparison. #filmsky

I try to keep things movie related for my own sanity and what I want to put out into the world… So I’ll phrase it this way, to stay on brand: Chuck Schumer has the exact same vibe as the teacher in JASON X who says of the recently thawed Jason: “It’s okay! He just wanted his machete back!!!”

I had a Ring Camera but every time I looked at the footage, I’d get a phone call from someone that’d say, “Seven days.”

I forgot that the plot of THE LAST BOY SCOUT was essentially uncovering a conspiracy to create DraftKings. #filmsky

Melts my brain that I live in a future in which my Boomer mother is irked that I haven’t finished s2 of FALLOUT and she wants to talk about it. This woman hasn’t picked up a video game since Super Mario 3. But that’s just the power of Goggins.

1183 day streak on Duolingo and couldn’t understand almost any of the halftime show. But it was a good time!

Look, I’m not saying that giving to the Ofrenda Kickstarter will grant you eternal life or that not giving will make you rapidly until you look like Christopher Lloyd’s skeleton, but I am saying that you must choose… www.kickstarter.com/projects/kit...

You don’t HAVE to give to Ofrenda’s Kickstarter but…

In all cases the best way to watch a movie series is in the order they were released. It's kinda odd anyone suggests otherwise.

It’s the kind of scream John Travolta was looking for throughout all of BLOW OUT. #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social

Just now realizing that my newest short film, OFRENDA, contains an homage to the old lady in HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL. Crazy the way movies we love bake into our DNA. #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social

Elisha Cook Jr. is one of the greatest character actors. Not his biggest role but his turn as a goon in MALTESE FALCON is perhaps my favorite. He suffers every indignity like an exposed nerve. Fantastic in HOHH too! #TheLastDriveIn @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social

I wouldn’t ordinarily do this but I love #TheLastDriveIn and my #MutantFam and @therealjoebob123.bsky.social’s “don’t say aspiring” speech saved me during COVID shutdowns, so here’s the teaser my short OFRENDA. We have a Kickstarter as my pinned post. Anything helps! @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social

We’re around 40% to our goal! Let’s keep up that momentum folks. If you like ghost stories, we got a hell of a ghost story. Think PET SEMETARY meets THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE. And you could be a part of making it happen. #horror #filmsky #filmmaking #scriptsky

Oooh. I think I might’ve just created a harmless conspiracy that I completely believe: Orville Peck is either actually Wayne Chance or Wayne Chance was his first persona that he adopted before donning the Peck identity. youtu.be/wusE3vn9UDo?...

The first episode of s2 of I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE might be the funniest episode of TV ever made. What do you mean, Ghost Tour, Sam Richardson saying “check out this little brick shithouse” and this are all in the same episode?!?!?

If you have some bucks to spare, Ty’s got a good short flick on the way that could use a few!

I know I said “anything helps” but this person keeps pledging $500 then rescinding it when we don’t take their scammy bait. Apparently this is a common tactic on Kickstarter to exploit folks who are desperate to hit their goal. Who knew?

Come on, y’all. You know you want to give Ofrenda an offering.

Check out our teaser trailer. This is just the tip of the iceberg so if you like what you see, kick us a few bucks. It would make our day (year) and really help us finish this thing the way it deserves. youtu.be/6cQMelfNez4?...

Hey, everybody. The Kickstarter for our short film, OFRENDA, is now live. We would really appreciate your support in helping us give this film the post-production it deserves. If you can’t give, please share it! Anything helps. #filmsky #scriptsky www.kickstarter.com/projects/kit...

It's Super Bowl week! A reminder that if football isn't your thing, restaurants & movie theaters this Sunday will be empty. You can book a table at your favorite restaurant, get the best service you'll get all year, and practically have your favorite restaurant all to yourself. Make it a date night!

Today's a good day to finally say that the first draft I just finished and copyrighted is called GROUNDHOG NIGHT, a horror-comedy creature feature in which a clutch of misfits in a struggling town must team up to stop a gigantic groundhog from destroying their home. #scriptsky #writersky

It’s easy to praise Raimi and McAdams for their virtuoso work on SEND HELP but special shoutout to Dylan O’Brien for effectively selling a character that thinks being trapped on a beautiful tropical island with Rachel McAdams is a fate worse than death. #filmsky

KILL LIST is the Velvet Underground of modern horror. #filmsky

I dig VAMPIRES a lot but I can’t blame contemporary audiences for feeling like it paled in comparison to BLADE, which released the same year with a similar plot and Tim Guinee in the cast. VAMPIRES feels like an 80s film and BLADE feels like the future of action filmmaking. #filmsky
