Jean Brooks in THE SEVENTH VICTIM (1943), one of the most memorable performances in American horror cinema Brooks was BOTD in 1915

If the world doesn't end with an apocalyptic Die Hard Christmas Movie? War, then I don't even know why we are still having this conversation.

Visiting my Mum for Christmas and we are watching Chainsaw Man 💜

Working out the agonised muscles while listening to The Refused's last ever live show. Can mostly walk ok now, kinda. It's a vibe of some sort.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Cassidy the fostered stray is learning the art of domestic play. He is not quite convinced....yet. #cats

The Coalition coming out in defence of Australian Jews by claiming that Australia's "multicultural nirvana...has failed" sure does underline how idiotic & racist they are. I guess it's not multicultural as long as the diverse cultures all have the same skin colour. Liberal Party dickheads.

I love that JoJo's Bizarre Adventure establishes that London is a bad, rough place by having a cat eating a puppy. Tis a cursed place!

Anybody know any vets who could assist with information on how much these vets screwed this up?

I love a new meme format

Ghouls for God

Another person gone too soon. I may not have known his name well but I instantly recognised him from A Dirty Shame. That alone landed PJ in my heart forever.

CHAINSAW MAN: ASSASSINS ARC!! This is going to be an intense, emotional experience. One film for all that.....oooof. I'm predicting another Halloween release, as they were most likely working on this straight after finishing Reze Arc. youtu.be/_PRaywfa1LE?...

buy this lesboge for less than the price of an iced oat milk latte and learn about the profound influence this game has secretly had on all those niche english yurinet oomfies you keep seeing around

No Longer Human is a very bad ride. That is some supremely grim shit right there. Ito's adaptation makes Dazai's story so present. Crashing home. The experience of life as ever widening pot-holes on a crumbling road with no horizon to aim for, & at a certain point the damage done is all your fault.

NSW Premier Minns believes that protesting genocide "is unleashing forces in our community that are not being contained". What the fuck does that mean? That being ignorant & accepting global catastrophes is the only way to keep Australians safe? Road to hell, mate, & Minns is helping to pave it.

I have thrown my back out while playing with a cat & it is no better today, so I am starting this day with satay cashew dip, chips, and Jujutsu Kaisen and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

The latest stray cat just dropped, a cowboy we've named Cassidy. Absolutely covered in scars but not an ounce of aggression in him. Thought that black mark by his nose was a scab but it appears to be a magnificent beauty spot. Hopefully he will have a new home soon, he is very affectionate. #catsky

I haven't been following contemporary films for a while now. The 2025 films I did see were both interesting & great. None compared to the exhilarating escalation & artistry of Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc. Apocalyptic emotional growth. I haven't loved being in a cinema like that for such a long time.

Yeah, I'm in agony lying on the floor trying to pop my hip back in & getting old school Twitter pissed off about how fucking shit Australian politics is. Look, it is distracting me enough! I ain't going to feel calm no matter what so gotta channel it somehow. Mind & body alike, just fucking over it.

Truly my most bewildered aspect of Aus Labor Party is that they haven't recognised how much they have in common with the US Democrat party, & how that same limpid approach helped pave the way for a Trump. PM Albo is the worst "good" man for this turbulent time. He has no core.

incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

I wasn't expecting Jujutsu Kaisen to be quite so wholesome or silly. It does both very, very well.

'Australian Jewish and Muslim groups are calling for unity and a rejection of right-wing incitement in the aftermath of the Bondi massacre on Sunday, which killed 15 people.' www.deepcutnews.com/p/jewish-cou...

Never forget that the sensory apparatus of the Australian Liberal Party is geared almost entirely towards spotting ways that they can gain power without ever changing. They will have not one single fragment of benefit to add to the conversation happening after the Bondi attack.

What a strange, brutal week of deaths. Now Rachael Carpani, who I never met but I did rushes on one of her movies, The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee, & earlier this year watched her as Cathy in the Dollanganger saga. She was 1 of the best things about both. Vale.

Will there be an Australian politician capable & willing to say anything helpful this week? To say anything that doesn't just swing a blame stick or sound like a bunch of tissues being proffered against a tide of global violence & death? Unlikely. Really, truly unlikely.

I feel like if Linda Reynolds wanted to prove she wasn't an evil cunt then she'd give the money back that she seized from a rape victim. #auspol

Jacking is over. Craning is in.

Orcas have started targeting commercial ship control systems, like rudders, to disrupt or break them. Eyewitnesses feel unnerved by the precision of these attacks in how the orcas ignore peripherals and know exactly what to do. Well, duh. Sophisticated intelligence as good or better than our own.

The world is burning & people are suffering, here & abroad, & our PM has dribbled to the occasion by this week telling kids to go outside, read a book, & now waved away America's fascist data-scrape visa entry laws. Everything you need to know about Prime Minister Albanese is right there. Salaryman.

If you aren't aware of the insanity bundle that is Eric Adams then you need to listen to the @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode on it. So fucked, so funny. I could listen to @notalawyer.bsky.social talk about him all day.

Between the hereditary tremble & the sleep deprivation, operating cutlery this morning/afternoon was interesting. I am going to vibrate sideways through the day.

Oh shit!! FONT WARS ARE ON!!!

Beautiful

One perk of being up all night wrestling with main & 2nd unit footage is THE NEW HEALTH ALBUM JUST WENT LIVE!!! TAKE THAT SLEEP AND THE TEN YEARS OF LIFE NIGHT SHIFT SUPPOSEDLY WIPES OUT!!!

Oh my goodness, what a good laugh. Australia's Online Safety Commissioner said that teens "will lose interest pretty quickly" in social media. Julie Inman Grant has clearly studied the long history of what happens when people are told they can't do something that they do not perceive as wrong.

My 70+ year old Mum started Attack on Titan on Saturday and is now 3 episodes into season 4, and Levi is her favourite, so all good there.

Discovering Finnish "Bunnymetal" band, Bunny Cult, has improved my day. I'm always here for weird bunny art.

Only 2 days till new @health.band album, Conflict DLC. I'm hoping that sometime soon we'll hear Johnny on @getplayedpod.bsky.social. He's always a fun time (check him out on Eric Andre's Bombing) + HEALTH scored Max Payne 3 & have key songs in Cyberpunk game & anime. Geek crossover please!

I once was, and now just standing on the beach.

It's incredible just how much #Eurovision has fucked up their position of neutrality. Not hard to predict they would deflect & not hold a vote because they would pretend the only problem was with voting. "We got a bigger bouncer!" totally ignores the genocide. A dishonesty that reveals their rot.

Perfect narrative timing with no editing.

It's good to be back in Tasmania.

Yessssss! Struck hotel room gold! Priest is on the TV! No, not Antonia Bird's Priest. The Paul Bettany one that desperately wants to be Catholic Judge Dredd. Everyone is egregiously attractive against all reason & characterisation, except for all the wrinkled, old white character actors.

It's 2025. So much is available just a few movements of a finger away. & yet.. ----the only film I want to watch right now is Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc---need to be exploded across the screen-- --there will be better gifs when it is everywhere-

As someone who has spent lifetimes doing QC & agonising over reports on raw footage, & contemplating the hardworking post-prod folks who would've spent days correcting all of this, you might ask me if I think a business person should be publicly executed for this & I would say 'no comment'.
