Since it seems like Fortnite no longer has a barrier for what they won't add (seeing as how Art the Clown is now in it), here's some characters I'd like to see pop up next year for Fortnitemares. Are some of them long shots? Sure. But why not shoot for the moon, you know?

You really don't. The Suicide Squad stands alone very well without any sort of real callbacks to the former film.

Like, it literally paid off the exact same episode! What the fuck are they on about?

The People Under the Stairs, without a single doubt. But I do wanna give an honourable mention to Vampire in Brooklyn, as it's a lot better than people give it credit.

What do you think is Wes Craven’s best film that isn’t part of the A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET or SCREAM franchises?

I feel like everyone will have a different answer and that’s really interesting to me.

Shocker is absolutely great. There's a case to be made for Horace Pinker as an underrated horror icon, I believe.

It sucks so much, because I like Tron. But I absolutely loathe Leto.

This motherfucker made Exodus: Gods and Kings, a 2014 film featuring white actors playing brown people, makeup and all. And it was, by far, the worst adaptation of the story of Moses. He gets no passes from me, he simply has bad taste.

There have been countless great films released in the modern era. I think this is just his excuse for being out of touch, especially considering this is coming from the man who gave us Alien: Covenant, easily the most disappointing film in the entire franchise. Yes, even more-so than Alien 3.

Gladiator and Alien director Ridley Scott says the movie industry is “drowning in mediocrity. And so what I do – it’s a horrible thing – but I’ve started watching my own movies, and actually they’re pretty good! And also, they don’t age.”

You using AI and supporting genocidal dickheads comes to mind.

Claymation is famously done using drawings and not one ounce of clay.

(If anyone knows the artist, I'd love to make (a version) of this available for sale and can only find tumblr replies via tineye.)

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

A lot of these were formative for me. Got lucky having a mom who loves anime, she exposed me to it at a young age.
