Accidentally slept til 3PM, woke up for some food, fell asleep again accidentally at 5PM, woke up at 8PM. Daylight Savings is going great so far.

I love HORROR EXPRESS because it's shot mostly in mediums and mostly overly lit with head on key lighting with zero care for continuity and it does not matter AT ALL.

Refilling my Halloween energy for tomorrow with the bestest boy.

Happy possibly 100th birthday to the incomparable Lee Grant!

Enjoyed catching SEE NO EVIL for the first time tonight! As a chronic rewatcher and lover of sometimes obscure 70s cinema, it's always exciting to experience a film that somehow flew under your radar. Thanks @amcinematheque.bsky.social @realgdt.bsky.social!

It took me three patient years to manifest this Danny Torrance costume from THE SHINING for Halloween but in the year of our lord 2025 the eBay gods smiled upon me.

I'm not the only one who comes up with the best Halloween costumes 2 days before Halloween when they're now impossible to fabricate, necessitating a years-long backlog of costumes... right?

Half man … half wolf. See Oliver Reed unleash his inner beast in THE CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF. Screening in 35mm on 11/24 at LF3 / @amcinematheque.bsky.social 🎟️: tinyurl.com/4ermkasu

Had an incredible time at the @sitgesfilmfestival.bsky.social with @honeycuttheidi.bsky.social pitching our docuseries MOTHER OF ALL EVIL! Thank you so much #WomanInFan for inviting our project. I'm so energized by my horror film fam and ready to get back to work!

An unforgettable night! The North American premiere of BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL played to a sold out show at the Aero with laughs, cheers, applause, and just about the best response any filmmaker could dream of. I’m so grateful to Beyond Fest for having us and the phenomenal audience who attended!

Gary Cooper stars in a western classic! HIGH NOON (1952) screens in 35mm this Saturday & Sunday, September 27th & 28th, at 2:00pm.

Ron Friedman's class at USC was an opportunity to expand our understanding of how art and sound shape cinema. One lesson really stayed with me: Go outside. Make a list of everything you hear. The birds. An AC hum. Distant train bells. You need to hear those in your movie for the world to feel real.

The North American premiere of BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL at @beyondfest.bsky.social is THIS WEDNESDAY at 7 at the Aero in LA! I'll be there for Q&A and then it's a rarely-screened 35mm print of EXORCIST II from the Martin Scorsese Collection!! Get tix at www.americancinematheque.com/now-showing/...!

Beyond Fest opens @amcinematheque.bsky.social tomorrow! Notes on 3 highlights, @davidkittredge.bsky.social’s BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL, @radujude.bsky.social’s DRACULA, and Lucile Hadžihalilović’s THE ICE TOWER — www.criterion.com/current/post...

It's ironic to see Disney capitulate to Nazis when anti-Nazi films were the only thing that kept the studio alive in the 1940s. Maybe they should watch some of their own films.

Today is the LAST DAY to catch Ondi Timoner's new doc ALL THE WALLS CAME DOWN at the Laemmle Glendale. 5:15 PM. Shooting this film has not only been a powerful experience during my own recovery, but it has already changed lives impacted by the Eaton Fire. I'm so proud. deadline.com/2025/09/all-...

If we can learn one thing from Redford, it's that what makes movies special are the characters, and their stories, and their emotions, and making them MEAN something. His whole career was a commitment to artistry, to asking questions, to finding some kind of truth. We need more filmmakers like that.

What you feared would come like an explosion, is like a whisper. What you thought was the end, the beginning. Goodbye, Robert Redford. Enjoy your rest.

Good article and a reminder to keep an eye out for @davidkittredge.bsky.social ‘s BOORMAN AND THR DEVIL, the kind of thoughtful, hilarious, human doc about filmmaking and creativity that we need more of. It’s the goods.

Sharing a link to GoFundMe again, because I need your help! My dog Serling was just diagnosed with congestive heart failure, her care took up all my available funds, and I need to schedule a follow up ASAP. Would also love any resources for fire affected pet owners! www.gofundme.com/f/help-elle-...

girls don't want flowers they want akimbo berettas and a toothpick to chew like chow yun fat @amcinematheque.bsky.social

I am sorted but if anyone hasn't see THE KILLER...

If anyone has an extra ticket to BETTER TOMORROW or THE KILLER tomorrow I will take one or both! Missed them when they went on sale.

Thank you all for getting my GoFundMe to 50%! Very appreciative of the love and support during this crazy time.

Hi friends! For the last few months I've been tossing items contaminated by the Eaton Fire, emptying my house for professional remediation, and cleaning and overseeing more cleaning of salvageable belongings. I could really use some help keeping my head above water! www.gofundme.com/f/help-elle-...

We didn't have to live like this. Fuck everyone who voted to.

People who work backbreaking jobs in agriculture should be given a path to citizenship and worker protections from predatory employers. It’s going to be a long harvest season of food rotting in the fields thanks to our racism.

Using Dodger Stadium—a venue born from the targeted destruction of a Mexican-American community—to stage terror against the Mexican-American community, is both horribly cruel and horribly appropriate. Today's Dodgers have a duty to prove they are not the team built on the backs of immigrant erasure.

The attacks on Christianity are coming from inside the house.

Stop trying to kidnap kids, Kristi

I miss when social media was social. Where I could spontaneously find a bud to hang with at House of Pies, or see what screenings everyone was going to tonight. Now social media is self-guided group therapy while we're all alone at home with our collective sadnesses.

Spend a little extra time in the LA sunshine today in honor of Brian Wilson. His music always feels like the promise of a nice day, that whisper on a warm breeze that everything might turn out all right.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

So sorry to hear that Frances Doel has left. Roger Corman's script supervisor of many decades and right hand woman, she was also instrumental in getting THE TERMINATOR and many other films made. deadline.com/2025/05/fran...

Altadena community calls on Gov. Newsom, California legislature to protect them from predatory developers. A new report shows that more than half of Altadena land sales since February have gone to corporations. lapublicpress.org/2025/05/alta...

Mike Kleeman of @ucdavis.bsky.social is working to understand the long-term health effects of wildfires. He shows @cnn.com his mobile air sampling unit in Altadena as residents struggle with cleanup and the unknown. www.2news.com/video/wildfi...

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Happy birthday to the boys, the ratpack of horror, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Vincent Price.

It was a lot of fun chatting about PIT STOP, my favorite Jack Hill film, with the @newworldpicpod.bsky.social folks! Thanks for having me on. Bonus chat about the scandalous MONDO KEYHOLE... if you dare!

It only feels real once you post it, but I'm sad to share that my friend Lainie Miller passed away on May 6th. Lainie was a powerhouse and the fuel that kept Dick Miller's career going. I'm going to miss her a lot and I'm thankful I was able to say goodbye. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Goodbye, George Wendt, who I shot an interview with just three weeks ago. Incredibly funny, personable man. Such a fan of his work on Cheers and glad I got to meet him in person. Sending warm thoughts to his wife and family.

This bottle of Queen Amidala glitter body lotion is now too old for Leo to date. #MayThe4th

ROBOCOP (1987) & THE TERMINATOR (1984) screen May 20th - 22nd on a 35mm double bill. Tickets: buff.ly/WrmUslE

Guaranteed there are more SINNERS out there from working filmmakers who don't have the connections to get studio funding or big stars attached. Who's gonna take a chance on them?

Is Ryan Coogler the only Hollywood director to have worked with 3 women DPs? More than one?

Under these guidelines 1923 probably wouldn't have received tax credits. Not because it portrays Texas badly, but because it portrays history.

Vladimir, STOP

This video shows the fire damage inside the Pennsylvania Governor’s mansion. Governor Shapiro’s reaction to the arson attack is on my timeline.

*checks news* turns out The Dark Universe was inside us all this time

Two of the first three #Centron films released under their own distribution label #CEF were about coffee and banana imports and, you know, where food comes from. School kids in 1970 were taught about this stuff in educational media. Why aren't we teaching these subjects today, and for whose benefit?

Way to go Kansas!
