There is only one wrong way to be a fan of something; it's to insist that there's only one right way to be a fan of the thing, and it just so happens to be yours.

October Horror Movie Challenge 2025 22: Baskin

No Robbins, so no ice cream sadly. Not that you'd want to eat anything during the climax of this one.

If you are looking for something appropriate to listen to during spooky season, check out The Holmwood Foundation, for a very cool (and LGBTQ+ Friendly!) sequel to the original novel of Dracula, and if you enjoy it, consider giving a bit to bring Season Two to life/undeath.

To go to a (mostly) respected Doctor Who author to this; sad, isn't it? He could almost be a poster face for a "Transphobia: Not Even Once" campaign.

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

Talk about burying the lede BBC.

He was trying to drive through the Channel Tunnel in a silver Bentley he didn’t own, with £15k in cash in a bag, and hadn’t bought a ticket.

Tommy Robinson refused to give police phone Pin to protect 'journalistic material'
The far-right activist was charged under the Terrorism Act over an incident at the Channel Tunnel in July 2024.

It’s so funny how every time Jared Leto does his method acting in a film, the director and crew have to go out of their way to be like “woah it was so intense, he was so in character, it added so much depth” and then you watch the film and he’s giving the most lazy, no-thought performance possible
"I do address him as Ares when we're filming and everybody goes, we get a little bit up. He's the general walking onto set, which is fine," Ares director Joachim Ronning recently told Screenrant. "And it's not uncommon for actors to do it like that. And it works for him. And I think you can feel it in any movie he makes. He's completely into the character."

October Horror Movie Challenge 2025 21: Repossessed

Do you realise that, despite its many flaws, this is still a better movie than about half the official follow ups to The Exorcist, and in many ways more respectful?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
