I'm very tempted to double dip for this version and seeing your name in the credits for the book is one of the reasons.

Dude was fascinating during the CFF watch party for this, I expect this will be quite fun to read.

I haven't watched my DVD copy of Dogma in decades, but when I saw @witneyseibold.bsky.social was doing a whole ass commentary, that's what's tempting me to snag the Umbrella 4k.

You are one the reasons I'm tempted to double dip for this version.

There's heated talk about "suspected" AI in a current release that's in one shot of a film. And people think horror fans will embrace someone who brags about it?

Oh hell yeah, I'm preordering that shit. I've appreciated all your insights into this during Chattanooga Film Fest. A commentary would rule.

I think it's meant to be Lockjaw, especially as the camera focus on her abruptly cuts short when he catches Bob groping her and she smiles back at Bob.

I've bought previous editions and they're beautifully crafted. New one just came out!

FFS. If we aren't waiting for the movie to do reveals, this would have been way cooler as a Fangoria cover.

I've never heard of this and I'm immediately intrigued. Thanks for putting this on our radars!

That's fair! For what it's worth, I saw a screenshot of the CGI in question and don't think your critique is unreasonable. Maybe the filmmakers will clarify.

goodnekovibes.bsky.social @goodnekovibes.bsky.social · 18d

I saw some rumblings that there might be films using AI currently making the festival rounds, but it's just been a vague post or two, nothing calling out a particular movie. Glad you articulated your concerns, I get bummed finding out after I see a film that AI art was involved.

My review for the folk horror film Tilbury was that it was a PSA against mediocre chocolate

Yeah our library system dropped Kanopy because it was too expensive. Luckily they do have Hoopla which has a wealth of indie films I can't get elsewhere.

goodnekovibes.bsky.social @goodnekovibes.bsky.social · 23d

Mostly hate em, especially since they are mostly done with loud music. Occasionally there will be a "visual only" jump scare and I can appreciate those. But I've mostly learned to hold my ears to alleviate the discomfort of a jump scare while still being able to watch the film.

My mom used to regularly drink diluted orange juice and I've picked up that habit in seltzer form. Like, a finger or two worth of lemonade/juice into a pint glass of seltzer has been my go to when I don't need caffeine.

You're probably right, I didn't even remember there was a casting category. I just want someone to get recognized for how great that cast is.

goodnekovibes.bsky.social @goodnekovibes.bsky.social · 27d

I forgot that was a new award. I kept thinking how annoyed I'lll going to be if they don't get a Best Cast nod in the next SAG awards. This is the ensemble of the year so far.

Oof, I'm attending one of these big horror fests for the first time. The passes are not cheap. If I spent one of my slots on a film that used AI and I didn't know beforehand, I'd be pissed.

goodnekovibes.bsky.social @goodnekovibes.bsky.social · Sep 10

I went to one near me last year for the first time and it was a delight, even though I'd seen most of the films before and a few of the 35mm prints were very pink. The surprise was part of the fun and you can nap during any duds to keep your energy going.

Someone needs to make a movie that shows all the horrors cats are seeing when they are just suddenly turning to state at the ceiling.

A new horror bookstore opened near me so I stopped by to support them.

Two of these books I found through my blusky feed, thanks to discovering @shortwavebooks.bsky.social and @willowcatelyn.bsky.social here. And then got an @datlow.bsky.social collection that's been on my want list.

Fears, Obsolescence anthologies, Corpses Fools and Monsters

I seem to recall the late great Scott Wampler saying on @thekingcast.bsky.social that Urban Harvest is a fun one.
