Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don’t make compromises, don’t worry about making a bunch of money or being successful. Be concerned about doing good work. Protect your work and if you build a good name, eventually that name will be its own currency.

#SpookySeason means shilling for #horror, and shill I shall.

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this Halloween, our proper introduction to Anne Rice's Brat Prince. There were some ups and downs along the way (and the less said about aliens, the better), but I loved her #Vampire Chronicles.

I watched a bunch of Herschell Gordon Lewis movies a few years ago. Fun ride, and I definitely wasn't expecting the real Colonel Sanders to pop up in one of them.

I recommend THE NUN, by Jacques Rivette. It's not nearly as trashy as the other movies waiting for you (no shame/shade), but it's as fucked-up.

#SpookySeason means shilling for #horror, and shill I shall.

The greatest horror director who many won't admit is a horror director, the late David Lynch frightened people from end to end of his filmography. I put his films in the "chiller" sub-genre: more about mood & tone than blood & guts.

Some men just want to watch the world learn. Like Bill Nye, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Carl Sagan about science and space. Mr. Rogers about being a good neighbor. Bob Ross about art. LeVar Burton about literature.

Being a Bowie fan, watching VELVET GOLDMINE was like Neo seeing code, except it was glam and painted lightning.

#SpookySeason means shilling for #horror, and shill I shall.

The thing my favorite genre can do that only comedy can is social commentary, but horror can go one step further. This is a bloody, wild, and crazy snapshot of '00s Hong Kong's inflated property market.

With about 400 seats, the Shinjuku Moulin Rouge venue hosted witty satire, lyrical plays, and dazzling dance performances. It also produced stars such as Ashita Matsuko, often described as Japan's first idol.
