We've had Hereditary, Get Out, Sinners and Weapons so it frustrates me that horror films are still seen as "less than" & must be seen as "more than just". Having seen Frankenstein (which I really enjoyed) it's a fucking horror film and there's nothing wrong with that

Don’t Call Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ a Horror Movie

Everyone involved sees it as much more than that.

The amount of Irish people who know more about American politics than Irish politics always makes me despair.

Hard agree!

How Leto keeps getting hired is beyond me?? Surely he's no longer a pull for audiences?

Low/no budget filmmakers have been finding ways to make what they want for decades prior to using AI so please spare me. LAZY! TASTELESS! CULTURAL VOID!

Yes and no. Lots of new hotels and unnecessary fancy offices but no culture as all the interesting art and nightlife spaces are being shut down. Dublin is wearing the mask of a vibrant city, but is not one.

Worry about who you are, and who you want to be, not what you think you're "supposed" to be. Indulge hobbies, and don't stop being curious. Whether it's writing, gardening, woodworking, whatever. You do not know what lessons those will teach you that may be far more important than you realize.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

One of my fav films and I feel so annoyed I never got to experience this film on the big screen.

I think the comanche version is also even more impressive and immersive.

Had my first Daggerheart session today and I am already in love with how collaborative and creative this game is.

Massive kudos to @criticalrole.bsky.social @darringtonpress.bsky.social

One of the things that has always been true, but doesn’t get addressed until you start to get pretty nerdy in talking about horror, is that it’s actually many different audiences, pushed together under the umbrella of horror. That variation, is good for the genre and audiences.

Jennifear de Ghoulsman Strikes Again @jenniferdeguzman.bsky.social · 7d

Horror doesn't have to be about violence and gore, and there's nothing wrong with preferring ghost stories or weird, eerie stuff. I have very good reasons for avoiding violent stories when I feel like I can't handle them. I still love horror.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Worked up a poster for Sinners - that cross section of horror movies, period pieces, and roots music checks an awful lot of my boxes, and heavens but it was beautifully made.
