holy fuck it’s real

Thinking about the Dragula episode where the contestants had to be inspired by the Garbage Pail Kids but they couldn't legally say it so they just called them "Trash Can Children" and I'm shocked that's not an actual movie by now

This is a really fun episode. Jeff's a producer of physical media for Shout! Factory, and a lifelong movie nerd. Check it out!

I just hope my legacy lasts as long after my death as the mail to our house's former owner who died at least 16 years ago

This 1975 mini-documentary on Minneapolis is pretty darn cool, and a reminder that at one point the federal government didn't declare war on cities, it used grants to finance ways to promote them www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkYH...

Is the failure to do simple age equation supposed to impress me

My Chicago wander led to me find Fry Like an Eagle on Fulleton and Westen, a super-nifty casual vegan place with a great vibe and many VHS tapes, highly recommended www.frylikeaneagle.com

We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of T. K. Carter, beloved by genre fans for his role as Nauls in John Carpenter’s 1982 classic THE THING.

CAFE FLESH is great in that it depicts a world where nobody can have sex except sadistic performance artists; it should be a cultural goal

I've had two pleasant conversations with strangers this evening so I'm going to say I was social

I think DR. CALIGARI is one of those movies where, if seen at a certain age with no context, it can steer you permanently on a path of either "This is weird, i want everything to be like this" or "This is weird, I hate everything about this and will stop engaging with anything strange"

Walking along Fullerton at night for a long period of time puts me into geezer guide mode, "I remember whet that used to be a Kay-Bee Toys! There's that Wendy's, still riding high!"

And ScreamBox through Prime and Roku. #MutantFam #FrightClub #Troma #SplatterDay2K #HorrorSky #FilmSky

I'll add: please use your local library. Check out the website, look at the services. Some are available for use from home. Your local library may also host various groups, where you can meet your neighbors. People make community, which fights fascism. 🫶

Going wild tonight (leaving the house to see DR.CALIGARI and CAFÉ FLESH at @facetschicago.bsky.social ) and may even do the unthinkable (have caffeine after 4pm)

Never get why Lyft drivers play the radio. You have a captive audience! Force your tastes on people! I'd become a driver for a few days just to see how long it takes for strangers to ask me to turn off GodWeenSatan: The Oneness

2026 suburban life is trying to schedule playdates to see Spongebob around anti-fascism protests

Let's mobilize. May our unity, our hope and our voices be more deafening each and every day.

What's your childhood cinema? My go to was the Villa in Milwaukee, a run-down, barely-functional place in a less-great area that would do horror and action triple bills for 5 bucks and didn't care if you were underage. It closed in 1995 but I guess it's reopening? www.jsonline.com/story/money/...

It's like that third Crocodile Dundee movie of self-absorbed psuedojournalism

you know who else was anti-ICE

Hey, um.... someone with a truck in northern Texas and also a storage unit here in Chicago

**SPOTIFY, target of a long and strong boycott campaign from @indivisible.org has announced ICE recruitment ads are no longer running on their platform. **Another boycott target, Avelo Airlines just halted deportation flights. **Next Up: Citizens Bank. variety.com/2026/digital...

This was unexpected! Not the movie, which was around for a couple years before getting released (and it's pretty nifty!), just that it popped up on Hulu out of nowhere

Another reason to be angry about what is happening in the world. With everything that happened yesterday I'm only finding out that one of my all-time favourite musicians just announced the release date for her new album and dropped two tracks.

Can't I just block "anything a republican has to say about anything?" It's never anything with any merit or truth, not sure what I'm supposed to do with that information

Some people are just now seeing how dangerous the right has become. It's crucial to treat them with care instead of going all "well, DUH" at them. Give them a big hug and a mug of hot chocolate and a cookie for waking up. Save the snark for Bluesky, they're all on the CSAM app and won't see it

Béla Tarr has always been a blind spot for me, i should watch some of his films. Why have I never seen SATANTANGO? Everyone talks about it (Checks running time) Ah.

Chicagoland. Show up at one of the vigils tonight.

Drop some spectacles

Happy Birthday to Joshua Grannell! Hear him on our BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER episode: www.projectionboothpodcast.com/2019/06/epis...

[Happy 97th birthday, Terry Moore, who appeared with Laurel and Hardy in A-HAUNTING WE WILL GO (1942) and a large ape in MIGHTY JOE YOUNG (1949), was Oscar nominated for COME BACK, LITTLE SHEBA (1952), posed for Playboy in 1984, appeared on True Detective, married Howard Hughes (?), and still acts.]

yay! Honestly 2025 was the year I finally forgave Ethan Hawke for REALITY BITES (I kid, love you, Ethan)

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen. Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo. Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

If you're a trans person in Illinois sent a cease and desist by Trump's government, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

soon, the only way to see erotica will be by coming up with the ideas yourself on X

Sledge Hammer!, but then they had to get renewed

Farewell to Sidney Kibrick (1928-2026) the last of THE LITTLE RASCALS. He played Butch’s sidekick Woim in 26 OUR GANG comedies and was also a Dead End Kid in William Wyler's DEAD END (1937). He retired at 15 but continued making appearances and receiving fan mail for the rest of his life. #FilmSky

You've got a couple of hours to get the 4k of WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR for cheaper, and it is wild so you should vinegarsyndrome.com/products/who...

Every country needs to be following Finland's lead here. Media literary skills are going to be crucially important in the age of AI, where knowing what's real and what's not is going to be increasingly difficult apnews.com/article/fake...

Dora Hall will return as Dora Hall in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

Berwyn Cicero Rapid Response reports just now that a significant number of federal agents have returned to Chicago this afternoon. Widespread community alert has been issued:

Well, this is awesome. (And free!)

This isn't impressive, I could watch a full run of Dragon's Lair by the late 90s
