I'm a purist who believes posts are meant to be ephemeral and "pinning" them is sacrilegious, like forcing the wind to stay in a shoebox

Tim Curry was a 20-something stage actor living in London in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s when he auditioned for a new B-movie musical called “The Rocky Horror Show.” In a new interview, Curry discusses the cult classic, David Bowie, Studio 54, and more. http://nyer.cm/Z9RkgrI

I thought I'd be able to make more time for my Small Screen Scream Queens posts, so maybe next year I'll do something with a bit more organization, but for now, I wanted to celebrate one of my favorite actresses, Sheree North.

New on @bostonhassle.bsky.social: I had a grand old time with DEATHSTALKER, the amiably goofy VHS throwback from director/SFX whiz Steven Kostanski. If you see one reboot of a vaguely remembered ‘80s franchise this week, make it this one! bostonhassle.com/review-death...

For day 284 of my year long retrospective on made for TV movies that need a DVD/Blu Ray release, I chose the remake of Sorry, Wrong Number, which originally aired OTD in 1989. Loni Anderson is very good as the bedridden woman who overhears someone planning a murder when her phone lines gets crossed

I wish I was surprised that Deadline claims it asked questions that were actually asked by me and other journalists at this James Gunn press conference. No one from Deadline even *submitted questions* for it (and I know, because I moderated). This is just brazen and sad.

You know a free app that's been around forever but somehow hasn't been enshitified?

SHAZAM.

Still free, still works great, no stupid extra features nobody asked for. Just a big button.

And it adds everything you scan to a playlist for you too.

Mine is 5hr long. (I've used Shazam a while)

I will admit to occasionally having the problem of greeting a new genre blu-ray announcement with "Those movies are terrible! I hated them all 30 years ago! I will buy this immediately"

It is very much a Hal Hartley film! (A high recommendation for me but possibly not for all)

HBO MaXXXinoparsnip @dekkoparsnip2.bsky.social · 2d

I contributed to the kickstarter so I got a blu-ray, but I thought it had gotten other distribution already?

It's fine! A couple nice moments and numbers, it's... something that made me finally watch the original movie?

Are people even aware there is a new Hal Hartley move
