TONIGHT @ 8:00 PM (ET)! Join me for an evening of films at secretcinematheque.com that ALMOST made it into this year's 24-Hour Horror Movie Mind Melter. Maybe they'll be your new favourites, and you will be horrified I didn't include them. PUMPKIN BABY COMMANDS YOU TO WATCH.

boxd.it/bjOT6x -- My Letterboxd review of The Heroic Trio. Come for the three stunning lead actresses, stay for all the child murder.

boxd.it/bj7Nvb -- My Letterboxd review of Mr. Vampire III. 👻👻👻 I realized I hadn't logged it, so I decided to re-watch it to confirm, yes, I had seen it. 😬

boxd.it/bj7ygP -- My Letterboxd review of Boiling Point (2021), not to be confused with the short film by the same director from 2019 or the limited series by the same director from 2023. 🤔 Watch it for Stephen Graham's performance alone.

boxd.it/bj7eZb -- My Letterboxd review of Thunderbolts* My first sentence sums it up... "not too bad, honestly" Consider that high praise from me for a contemporary blockbuster.

boxd.it/bhWBPn Only just discovered this was on Criterion Channel. No idea if it was there last October and I just never got around to it. 🤷

Mass hysteria, or mass psychogenic illness, is when a group of people manifest physical symptoms without a physical cause. It's been documented for centuries, but it isn't a relic of the past. Here I explore some of the history, causes, and what it might tell us about humanity. youtu.be/AlKZh6R8V7c

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

A limited quantity of my smash-hit book Ed Wood: Made in Hollywood USA is available from the @vinsyn.bsky.social store. Why not add it to your monthly pile of Vinegar Syndrome product? vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/...

the sinclair charlie kirk tribute has 71K views nine days after it was supposed to preempt jimmy kimmel by comparison, this antique toaster restoration video has 102K views after one day

🚨 New York 🚨 I will be showing my personal 16mm print of Plan 9 from Outer Space, and signing copies of my hit book Ed Wood: Made in Hollywood USA, at @Metrograph Thurs, Oct 9, 7pm Tix: metrograph.com/film/?vista_...

boxd.it/bbOxWp I don't have a strong feeling on One Battle After Another, but I also didn't have a strong feeling about There Will Be Blood on first viewing, but upon repeat viewings it became one of my favorite PTA movies. So... 🤷

Beyond D&D, TSR built RPGs about gangsters, pulp heroes, dogfights, and even Conan & Indiana Jones. Inside were mechanics D&D never adopted, like reputation, corruption, and cinematic stunts. These are TSR’s forgotten RPGs. 🎥 Watch Now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpat... #DnDHistory #TTRPG #TSR

trains are magic and it’s so embarrassing that the richest country in the history of the world is all “high speed rail? nah we don’t need it”

Maybe we should re-regulate media outlets? No one person can own, or invest in, more than one media outlet within 100 miles of that outlet's "reach". And given that everything is online and global now, that pretty much means one and done. You get to own one thing, that's it.

This is one of the greatest two-page spreads ever to grace this earth.

who's gonna start the dumb appliances and small electronics company and make a killing? i do not want screens, bluetooth, internet, wifi, NOTHING.

It says a lot about, like, society, and stuff. No, really, I liked it. letterboxd.com/escapehatch0...

Please mark your calendars, The 24-Hour Horror Movie Mind Melter is happening on October 11th, 2025 @ 11:00 AM (est)

Why does D&D even have Clerics? 🛡️⚔️ From OD&D to 2E, I trace their surprising origins, evolution, and the famous no-edged weapons rule. 🎲 📺 Full deep dive: youtu.be/CA2wS_X7UWE #DnDHistory #TTRPG #OSR

That's great, but are we really going to learn anything new that MY biopic didn't cover?

Saw the new (from 2023, finally released this year) Toxic Avenger. It's pretty good. It's gory, but in that fake CGI gory kind of way. Maybe that actually upsets people? I dunno. It just looks so fake to me that it doesn't register. boxd.it/aXOQQ5

If I was writing for a newspaper, the headline for my review might read "I Can't Believe I Laughed So Much." boxd.it/aX7Jdz

Great time tonight at The Davis Theater in Chicago for their Trust Fall series. Went in only knowing it was "Hong Kong action". Thank you to @willsloanesq.bsky.social for not only attending, and providing some excellent insight, but also putting this on so many of our radars. boxd.it/aVWN9b

Everyone who has ever listened to The Important Cinema Club must take a Halloween Pledge this year: You will watch FREAKY FARLEY before October 31st. If you don't, you will be cursed.

Pretty wild for someone to be the default “he” when people say “is he dead yet?”

Me?? I have to do it? Ok then…

FUCKKKK OFFFFFF.

Phoenix! Tonight! Screenings start at 5p Overdue PHX 1346 W Roosevelt

Saw Weapons tonight. Feel good movie. Bring the kids. The Hard-R rating is just a suggestion! boxd.it/aT1zST (narrative spoiler free review, though I do talk about whether I liked the tone of the ending)

I was technically here for both games, so I take credit for both wins, though I was at the conference center next door for game one.

🎲What *really* changed in AD&D 2E? Classes cut, THAC0 reworked, binders full of monsters, even a CD-ROM rulebook. 🎥My full breakdown just went live on YouTube this morning. Check it out on Daddy Rolled A 1! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHvH... #DnDHistory #ADnD #DnD2E #TTRPG #dnd #TabletopRPG

Well... I was one of those people that gave up on this game when they went down 3:0 ten seconds in to the second half. Shame on me.

The last of the Sammo movies I'd not seen in the Criteron Channel's new collection. Imagine if all those "dad action movies" with Liam Neeson and Steven Seagal actually had someone with martial arts talent in front of the camera, that's this movie. Plot is crap, Sammo is *not*. boxd.it/aLUoNL

Turns out, I had seen most of this movie before, but completely missed the amazing opening action sequence on a previous viewing. boxd.it/aLciGh

Lotta celebrity voices on todays episode! soundcloud.com/nosuchthinga...

On this week's episode of The Important Cinema Club, we discuss Hulk Hogan VS. Cinema - and we know who won. soundcloud.com/the-importan...

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao absolutely tear it up in this movie. Just ignore the weird politics of it. 😄 boxd.it/aIbrTF

Every edition of D&D has a secret world. You’ve played in some… others may be new. 🗺 I explore both the implied and default settings of early D&D in my new deep-dive video: 🎥 "The Secret Worlds Behind Every Edition of D&D" www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnYq... #DnDHistory #TTRPG #OldSchoolDnD #OSR

Half in the Bag: Weapons

There is a growing crisis of global freshwater availability, due to over-pumping of groundwater, agricultural demands, and climate change. And Wall Street investors have no intention of letting a good crisis go to waste, buying up water rights to sell it back to us. youtu.be/nTy872i51Ec

Many will defend the American Revolution and the principles of America's founding as this noble experiment, that hasn't always gone perfectly, but the ideals are high minded and "better than anyone else tried to do" (despite all the evidence to the contrary) (1/3)...

CHICAGO: I will visit your fair city on August 31 to take part in the "Trust Fall" film series with the good fellas at @oscarbate.bsky.social. We will be showing an underseen but guaranteed-to-please Hong Kong action movie. I'm confident you will love it. Tix: davistheater.com/special_even...

The Summer of Sammo continues! boxd.it/aDz3ld

3 iconic B/X modules. 3 totally different vibes. Which one changed how YOU played D&D? My new video explores the wild evolution from B4 to B6— Only on Daddy Rolled A 1. 🎲 youtu.be/Zi_P-UKt2RM?... #TTRPG #BXDnD #OSR #RetroGaming #DNDModules #LostCity #VeiledSociety #TTRPGHistory
