My cat has been ill. Call me Dr. Ellie Sattler.

I think this is one of my favourite looks from the Pillion press tour.

It’s called *range*, Sweetie.

Check out Augur issue 8.2 for my short story, "The Event Horizon of Honey," a surrealist horror tale exploring memory loss, grief, love, and the eldritch entities that stalk the woods beyond the beehives: augursociety.org/augur-issue-...

The dreaded “poor etiquette” in the theatre tonight: ✅ Talking with their partner throughout the film ✅ Both on their phones ✅ Man flicks his Coors Light can from his side table, it clatters to the ground & onto the path of the theatre steps. Doesn’t pick it up even after the film was over.

Despite the goofy gif, being called “my beloved” feels like I’m in a 1000 yr old vampiric pairing.

Watching French Bill Hader.

Le Bonheur (1965) Directed by Agnès Varda

David Bowie 🖤 Jan 8 1947 - Jan 10 2016 The Hunger (1983) Labyrinth (1986)

I’m doubling down on my initial reaction to OBAA. It reeks like the wet fart of Oscar grabs. Dicaprio plays a “revolutionary”, while co-financing a 14 story luxury hotel in Israel. Using roles as a PR shield for various dealings makes me sick. What’s worse is that people eat this shit up.

All (incredible) shorts Juliet Dan Paris (1967) El Inmortal (1968) Emotion (1966) Safe Among Stars (2019) #lastfourwatched #letterboxd

Heart Eyes (2025) has one of the best villain designs that I’ve seen in recent years. Something that I think we’ve been missing from the slasher genre as of late—the creation of another masked slasher icon. Obviously with how many times I’ve watched (7+) it quickly became a comfort film for me. 1/2

Watching Dinner in America (2020) over Breakfast in Canada (2026)

That’s a wrap on 2025 🖤 @letterboxd.social #letterboxd #letterboxdwrapped

I actually had many favourite first-watches this month, so I can’t narrow it down to the classic four. Sentimental Value (2025) It Ends (2025) In the Mood for Love (2000) Paying for It (2024) After Hours (1985) The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) Belle de Jour (1967) Here’s to more in the New Year!

This year, @salemskeeper.bsky.social and I made a concerted effort to watch more films we’ve never seen—international, independent, classics, etc. Here are all of this year’s additions to my list of perfect movies. Full list here: boxd.it/OPBi0

HBD to the queen of Italian gothic horror, Barbara Steele, an absolutely mesmerising talent on screen with over 65 credits. Appearing in many favourites such as Black Sunday (1960), The Pitt and the Pendulum (1961), Castle of Blood (1964), and The Long Hair of Death (1964). 🖤

Of course an ethereal beauty would be a fellow Capricorn. HBD to one of my favourite actors in giallo. 🩷

Roast me like one of your chestnuts on an open fire.

Favourite first-watches of November 🖤 Bound (1996) Le Samourai (1967) Outrage (1950) Memories of Murder (2003) #noirvember #letterboxd #criterion

If we didn’t have Mulholland Drive, we wouldn’t have Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus. Just two girlies landing in L.A with a dream and a cardigan.

Interview with the Vampire was released 31 years ago today 🧛

I love the way @realgdt.bsky.social speaks about film. It always feels deeply emotional. In Q&A’s, his perspective on casting & set design—and his personal connection to the source material or story—is remarkably insightful & inspiring. He conveys this in a way that is incredibly poetic. (1/2)
