Showing two of my favorite-favorite horror movies. No: two of my favorite of ALL movies ever: oh, wait, I never posted anything about this AFTER it happened. anyway, this is me in JULY, finally finding a couple of old snaps on my camera roll. and a movie of the cool Alamo Draft House carpet. But, […]
Oh, man. Guess I’m going to be tuning in to American Horror Story again. For some reason I fell away after the first season. Maybe I was writing a novel or something, who knows. Then I never got back on that crazy train. Though I was there for Scream Queens, which was at least six
James Roday’s Gravy is one of the very, very good ones, I mean. Right up there with Murder Party, even. Fingers crossed this is more of the same:
Very excited. What would really be cool was if this update found a way to do some version of “It’s a Good Life.” But, too, looks like there’s plenty of cool already going on:
This is my kind of post: All I’d add—well, not ‘all,’ but one I’d for-sure add would be that monster’d out El Camino from Little Evil: Also, I guess, no surprise that El Caminos lodge in the old memory banks, seeing as how that’s the key car in Mongrels: Also, now that I’m halfway thinking
Ridiculous: solely because of this fun thread, I suspect, this weekend while I was laid up with a three-day fever and a cough I thought would hollow me out completely, leave nothing but a husk of a dude behind, I ended up putting in the extended edition of Fellowship. Still good as ever (though, first
When you core down deep enough into Demon Theory, this is what you find for a beating heart:
Because I likely won’t remember to give attribution for each link, I’ll just say it here: probably three-quarters of these paleo type links are from a friend, Joe Lansdale (and all the Apple ones are from my wife). Just, don’t want to pretend I have my thumb on all the good pulses. Rather, I know
Usually don’t put words in these, but this is the first for the year, and this year’s going to look different. Not just the running title (different titles make them easier to search), but how movie and tv heavy these’ll all likely be for at least the first half of the year. Because? Reading for
I mean, really, except for the contour of the land and the vivid green everywhere and the way the people wear their jeans and boots, the fifth season of Monk pretty much nailed where I grew up:
Decided to do this as a list this time, instead of letting some of them auto-embed—felt messy, having both kinds of links/previews. So, here’s the best of what I’ve been reading lately: “Crackdown on sexist ads outlaws bad female driver and inept dad commercials“ “Brandon Hobson on Recovering Cherokee Myths from His Grandfather’s Notebook“ “What
Which is going to be a movie/TV-heavy list, for the first time ever. Not because my tastes or habits changed—fiction on the page is still and always where it’s at for me—but because, since I’m now judging for the World Fantasy Awards for 2018, it would feel a bit . . . weird and unclassy,
I mean, pretty much there’s two kinds of slashers, yes? Not talking “Excellent” and “Trying to Cash In” here, but “Straightforward” and . . . “Playing with the Genre,” I guess you could say? Which, of course Scream didn’t start, as in, it wasn’t first-first—the Golden Age was more self-aware than we give it credit
Just re-re-watched this one, and, wow, holy everything, Batman, this is STILL my favorite horror movie of the year. By miles. Really? It’s the best slasher I can think of since . . . Happy Death Day, yeah. Which was far and away the best since . . . You’re Next, maybe? And before that it’d
This is as solid a piece of film writing that I’ve seen for a while. Solid stuff. And, I imagine it’s on point? That its analysis and sort-of conclusions are spot-on-ish? I haven’t seen the film, I mean. Don’t think I’ve seen any Lars Von Trier, actually. People always tell me Anthichrist can kind of
