The greatest night of the year is once again upon us! I can't believe this is my 14th one of these! Also, having seen this year's clues for the secret lineup, I can say with absolute certainty that I know what film #4 is...and it's going to KILL with this crowd. #AeroHorrorthon #PraiseCornGorn

The October onslaught continues with my first marathon of the month (of three): the great Secret Sixteen's "Ha-Ha Horror" horror comedy marathon! @secretsixteen.bsky.social @joshmillerlite.bsky.social @museumofhomevideo.bsky.social

This is maybe the weirdest thing I've seen from this administration yet. Stephen "Goebbels" Miller tells CNN's Boris Sanchez that Trump basically has unlimited power...and then completely freezes. After the break, Sanchez carried on as if nothing had happened. 😡 youtu.be/vWudXaj60rU?...

Anytime someone says parking sucks at the New Beverly, I automatically assume that either (1) they've never actually been there or (2) they have a screw loose.

It appears the Aero Theatre Horrorthon has sold out in record time this year. Unfortunately, someone in my group failed to get a ticket in time. If anyone here has an extra/unwanted ticket, please let me know ASAP! Amazing to think that I bought a ticket THE DAY OF for my first back in 2011.

Came across a great quote tonight that I unfortunately can't seem to attribute to a source: "How you died does not erase how you lived."

Does the silencing of Kimmel really mean that the media is capitulating to authoritarianism and censorship? I think these remarks from The View hosts sum it up best: " " " " " " " " " "

I mean you're either pro-choice or pro-women dying of septic miscarriages, living in fear, lacking bodily autonomy, etc. We've had more than three years to see what lack of reproductive rights looks like, and it looks like a sadistic nightmare.

Covid is gonna shape American politics for years and years because it was the first time most Americans were asked to make sacrifices and they lost their minds because of it.

Fascistic hypocrisy explained in 81 seconds. This would apply equally to narcissists, I feel...but that Venn diagram is pretty much a circle.

For chrissakes, ABC, I don't need to see or hear Ilsa, She-Wolf of the S.S. every time I watch "Jeopardy."

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

I’ve finished setting up my government-mandated shrine to St. Charlie Kirk. I will pray to Him every day that I can become more and more racist in my remaining years. As required by law.

“This isn’t the America I know” Black People:

If Democrats ever get power again there needs to be a proper reckoning. Criminals need to be indicted, prosecuted and convicted for trying to subvert our democracy and rights for Trump. There is no room for Merrick Garlands and milquetoast centrists anymore. You need accountability.

Headline should be "Disney to Air Tribute to Deceased Bigoted Lunatic." www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

I already figured Disney was bending the knee when ABC started airing Kristi Noem's gestapo ads all day long here in California a while back. 😡

I'm just going to call him the Mikado-in-Chief from now on.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.

The right have launched an all-out attack on liberals and the left, in the wake of the Kirk killing, pushing narratives about left-wing violence and the need to investigate liberal nonprofits and Schumer and Jeffries are totally AWOL. The Dems are leaderless. Shocking.

they can't talk about kirk because if they use any of his words, it becomes immediately clear that he was an awful person and deeply unsympathetic. they can't talk about the shooter, because he's some middle class nazi failson. so they talk about trans people, because they need a villain.

This is the best take I've heard thus far in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder. Well worth 15 minutes of your time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k__v...

Appearing polite, erudite and eager to debate others is not an adequate mitigating factor when you're espousing bigoted, dangerous beliefs that do serious harm to vulnerable people.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Military roaming the streets, multiple political assassinations, Israel still at war, Poland attacked, Ukraine still at war, regular school shootings, ICE raids, tariffs, postal service to America suspended, boycotts of American goods. Is literally anything better?

The same folks who basically shrug whenever innocent schoolchildren are murdered are despondent over Kirk's assassination. The same folks who support ICE raids and the genocide of Palestinians are now saying "political violence never solves anything." My brain hurts.

First time back at the Aero in ages. @cinematicvoid.bsky.social presents "Night of the Juggler," with Q&A from James Brolin!

So I guess what Gloria Gaynor is saying is, essentially, "I survived but don't give a shit if anyone else does." Oh well. Cake's version is better, anyway. www.stereogum.com/2320800/glor...

Not a revolutionary thought, but...there is far too much negativity surrounding pop culture, old and new. It astounds me that there are people who have made this their entire life...and get hundreds of thousands of followers for it. "Joyless nerds," as someone I follow on Letterboxd once put it.

What's with the sudden proliferation of "[Insert celebrity] reveals the people they HATED!" clickbait vids on YouTube? I must see half a dozen of these pop up daily in my recs and search results. They appear to be the new variant of stupid "[Insert celebrity] reveals what we knew all along!" vids.

I love threads like this, where people are just sharing their craziest and most memorable experiences in movie theaters. Also, please don't talk in theaters.

No matter what I think of someone on Letterboxd, if they're clogging up my activity feed every single day with literally DOZENS of likes, reviews, lists, etc....I'm not going to be following them for very long.

If you Google who the voiceover artist was for almost any movie trailer, it will tell you it was Don LaFontaine...even if it doesn't sound a thing like him. 🙄 Percy Rodriguez? Hal Douglas? Adolph Caesar? Charles Aidman? Mark Elliott? Nope, Google's never heard of them, apparently.

Fellow SoCal horror hounds: the Frida Cinema in Santa Ana is showing the VERY RARELY SCREENED masterpiece "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. If you love '70s slow burn horror (and aren't allergic to DCP projection), I highly recommend going.

Back in the void with a four-film giallo marathon at the Frida Cinema in Santa Ana! @cinematicvoid.bsky.social

Bill Burr for president. musictech.com/news/music/b...

[worst possible stuff happening everywhere] man why do I feel bad

This is probably the most quintessentially New Bev of all New Bev marathons. And right in my wheelhouse. I can't wait to see what they throw at us tonight! @newbeverly.bsky.social

I'm fully expecting Bill Maher to say something along the lines of, "you know, Trump has a point with this immigration thing," and then scapegoat trans people or the "woke left" or something.

Dumb Old Dump has been wanting this since at least 2015. Remember, he STARTED his first campaign by demonizing immigrants with b.s. propaganda. Friendly reminder that he has 34 felony convictions, for which he received no sentence. If you want a criminal, look no further than the White House.

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

This is Los Angeles. It’s 503 sq miles. Home to 4 million people. The small red dot is roughly where peaceful protests (and nocturnal lawlessness) have been happening. The rest of the city is calm. LA doesn’t need to be “saved” or “liberated” by soldiers. Our community is in danger. The city is not.

TV news is just disaster porn for boomers.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

Between the fires and these protests, I hope this year teaches everyone that most of the shit talking you hear about California and more specifically, LA, comes from racists and gentrifying transplants. Most people love living here and would do anything to protect it.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Cannot express how big the disconnect is between what Angelenos are seeing/saying to each other right now and what delusional rabid conservatives are barking online. I know it's par for the course, but this is another level.
