ICYMI: I began the year on a very on-brand note with a deep dive into Corey Feldman vs. The World, a riveting, deeply damning look into the rise and fall of Corey's Angels, Feldman's all-female backing band. nathanrabin.substack.com/p/corey-feld...

Primate is essentially Cujo in Hawaii with a monkey, but in a good way! nathanrabin.substack.com/p/primate-is...

I'm not sure why it took me so long to finally watch and write about Tobe Hooper's famously bonkers 1986 cult classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2, but I'm glad I finally got around to covering it. www.nathanrabin.com/happy-place/...

DHS Warns Any Action By Americans Will Be Treated As Domestic Terrorism https://theonion.com/dhs-warns-any-action-by-americans-will-be-treated-as-domestic-terrorism/

There are many excellent reasons to despise J.D. Vance, but the best is his disingenuous self-righteousness. He acts disgusted to his core by the idea that the Trump administration is anything less than ethical, honest, transparent, and a force for good in the universe.

The 2023 hit adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's was one of the most insultingly convoluted piles of flaming garbage this century. Its sequel, somehow, is much worse. nathanrabin.substack.com/p/five-night...

To promote The Fractured Mirror, my new book on American movies about filmmaking, I'm running a 10-part series on the 100 best movies on the subject. Today I posted 30-40, which includes everything from Adaptation to Swimming to Cambodia to The Player and more. www.nathanrabin.com/happy-place/...

I'm surprised and disappointed that a man who had the Department of Defense renamed the Department of War would run it in such a war-like fashion.

Trump is just responding to all of the big, strong factory workers who came up to him with tears in their eyes and begged him to implement regime change in Venezuela so that oligarchs and oil barons can seize its oil and minerals.

Just to break up the doom. Plowed through @nathanrabin.bsky.social's new book. Treat yourself: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I think people are confused. Trump didn't say "No forever wars!" he said, "No, forever wars!"

Trump should just explain that President Maduro is a monstrous, drug-dealing narco-terrorist exactly like the Honduran ex-president that he recently gave a full and unconditional pardon because he said the magic words: "I was treated very unfairly by the Biden administration."

Trump should figure out how to effectively run this country before moving on to others.

Yesterday's Shard from The Fractured Mirror is the Duplass Brothers' BAGHEAD. It's that rarest of creatures: a mumblecore movie that matters, thanks largely to the gamine charm of star Greta Gerwig. www.nathanrabin.com/happy-place/...

The Daiy Shard from The Fractured Mirror is Joseph L. Mankiewicz's The Barefoot Contessa, which intriguingly uses the structure of his brother Herman's script for Citizen Kane to tell the story of an actress too pure for this corrupt world. www.nathanrabin.com/happy-place/...
