my smol thots

Not sure why so many people are so surprised there are so many right-wing Gen-Xers — Reagan youth was a huge thing.

Now watching DePalma’s SISTERS (1973)

I wonder what the repercussions are for coiling myself in the fetal position on the floor at work. It seems so inviting.

Omg as I was typing the alt text I was remarking that the woman in the poster looked like Marlo Thomas and then I accidentally wrote Bat Girl instead of That Girl! And it works

Ok I’m here in box seats! @operahockeyguy.bsky.social when does the hot gay sex normally start?

Now reading Fay Weldon’s “Before the War” (2016)

rewatching this, I really like the effect that the foregrounded chain links make; it's kind of amazing I could just do this with my phone.... I seriously live life without regrets, but I think if I could go back in time I would more seriously look into DP/cinematography work.

This feels super ominous

People on Reddit don’t get me the way my Bluesky moots do

Have you all learned how to make wheat paste yet?

My folks maybe once took me to Long John Silvers, after a like 8th grade band concert in Flint.

Everyone, look at @the-haunted-david.bsky.social 's aweomse design for SHF9

Watching MULTIPLE MANIACS (1970) (Different vibe between watching it on Criterion vs in a nearly empty Philadelphia leather bar early in the afternoon.

On Boston area subreddits, people are posting their batshit utility bills, and good god am I glad I chose to buy a unit in a building that’s geothermally heated. My monthly HOA bill includes electricity and heat and it is under $400/month.

Have my fingers gotten progressively weaker, or have ziplock-style closures on plastic bags of food gotten harder to open in recent years?

Seeing Susie Dent on Taskmaster reminds me of the time @skleinedler.bsky.social was in a game on Two Late with Rob and Joe, wherein he successfully identified a 100 Grand bar BY THE SOUND OF SOMEONE CHEWING IT IN HIS EAR

It is now, reading PD James, that I realize I read all 80+ Agatha Christie novels/collections in the 1970s before I turned 13. The first adult book I read was her The ABC Murders when I was 6 or 7.

Cruising two hot guys in Boston’s South End, I turned and walked directly into a STOP sign post, knocking me backward flat on my butt like a cartoon. Lots of blood, Six stitches to my eyebrow and the guys never even noticed me.

OMG the male lead is the old guy in HOBGOBLINS

Well the swinging is over, leaving <checks watch> an hour for massacre-ing

Well, I’ve seen 2 5-star movies in a row, so why not SWINGERS MASSACRE (1974) on a godawful vcr rip on Tubi

So, I didn't think I was going to really get into Hamnet, but wow, was I wrong.

"I don't like your generation" [said to a character born in 1955]. "I don't like your arrogance, your selfishness, your violence, the curious selectivity of your compassion. You pay for nothing with your own coin, not even for your ideals. You denigrate and destroy and never build." 1/2

I don’t have strong feelings about Hamnet but I have a friend who wants to see it on the big screen, so I’m going to see Hamnet later today.

It blows my mind I was exactly there 35 years ago chanting the exact same thing (but re: the first Iraq invasion), and here we still are…. It’s maddening.

The bus that goes from an orange line station to my suburb used to terminate in the evenings about 2.5 miles from my stop. The #mbta added service, extending how far the bus goes until 1am. This means I can take bus/train into the city instead of driving. (I am on the bus now.)

Now watching Atom Egoyan's EXOTICA (1994), which, unbelievably, I have not already seen. (I'm a huge Don McKellar fan, so it's doubly odd that I haven't already watched this. Great way to start 2026!

murderous funyons wipe off an axe in a room where a murder has been bloody death scene wait in the kitchen pouncing on folks who keep snacks in a jar by the door oh so much gore

The phrase “brand storyteller” evokes images of sitting around a campfire scaring children with tales of haunted Prell shampoo, or of murderous anthropomorphized Funyons.

Every time I see Mayor Mamdani's official headshot, that li'l whimisical wisp of hair cascading over his forehead just makes me all melty.

FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY, like every new year's eve between 1973-1978, my entire family gathered in the living room to watch them change the year on the sign of the Match Game set (I LITERALLY REMEMBER WATCHING THIS IN REAL TIME) (video is queued up to the end when they do the number switch)

wanna be a giallo final girl wanna be a hammer horror stud let's meet and have a baby now la la la la la

in 2026, I will yeet incidentally stupid things that threaten to adversely occupy my time

Here are my 5 star movies this year

I resolved to read more this year, and I did! Authors included: Paul Tremblay, Tananarive Due, Neal Stephenson, Shirley Jackson, Jenny Odell, Peter Straub, and Richard Matheson Next year I hope to read more.

I have finally watched every single submission for Salem Horror Fest 9 (submissions opened 9/21 and closed 10 days ago), so now I can catch up on all the 2025 releases I've missed in the past three months. :) Thank you to all the screeners (many of whom are on here) for your time & feedback!

Prince’s 1999 hits differently now.

My cat is standing on his tail and I don’t get it. (He was also batting at the end of the tail with his other front paw.) I’ve never seen this before. It’s weird, even for a cat, right?

him: Has anyone ever told you you look like Vladimir Lenin me: Yes, all the time him: I find that incredibly sexy [needle scratch]

that was fun

Watching GRADUATION DAY (1981) because why not? * uptempo disco opening song* * those 80s gym outfits with striped tube socks * Linnea Quigley is in it! *Not quite THE MUTILATOR'S "Fall Break" but fun enough.

I hear this in the acEEEEEED acEEEEEEED riff from 90s chicago house music

Recently I bought caraway seeds and I've been adding it to various dishes, and I've been loving the flavor pop every time I don't know if it was bigger staple of 70s cuisine, or just something my mom used a lot, but I have found lot of garlic people, but I don't know that many caraway seed peeps

Once again I’ve read a sequel not realizing it was a sequel (Straub’s in the dark room) :/ His Shadowland I’ve read several times in the past 45 years; it’s one of my favorites Ghost Story is literally the scariest thing I ever read as a young teen, so much so that I’ve never re-read it

i described someone as "an angry Mr. Hooper" and fortunately the person I was talking to was over 40, so they got the image I was painting immediately

I just realized I have zero idea what Slash looks like

Ruin two bands by combining them: ABC/DC

Jfc do we have to really platform the dumbass shit the likeliest suspects will post to get that exact response. Stop giving ragebait oxygen ježíšmaria
