The Portland frogs are multiplying. I’m watching the livestream at katu.com/watch

Three green froggies and a skeleton frog! These are inflatable costumes and some of the frogs have little capes. They’re protesting on the other side of the street from ICE.

SARA: Were they called "the Christmas Adventurers Club" in the book?
ME: No, uh, they were just "The Reagan Administration."

Weird thing about rewatching BLOOD WATERS OF DR. Z (aka ZAAT!) is realizing that, while the movie itself sucks, the idea of playing a mad scientist type as a Zodiac killer type and not as a supervillain is pretty clever.

Honestly don't know why Disney doesn't save themselves the headache and just license the name to bands that want to do concept albums.

You can really tell Netflix was hoping they'd have reason for a line of The Electric State action figures and well...

I'm treating seeing them set up the aisle of tie-in Stranger Things merch at the local big box as a recession indicator.

Like the scene where Holbrook reads the journal in horror to Leigh and Loomis is sticking with me. Because Leigh and Loomis clearly don't care about the atrocity. Not even particularly maliciously, just "Well that's sad, but it was a hundred years ago so who cares."

Watched The Fog (1980) tonight, and on this viewing it jumped out at me to wonder if one the origins of this project was Carpenter's disgust with all the Bicentennial hoopla and wanting to make something explicitly about how America's historical charm is founded on historical violence.

Being tongue in cheek, but it feels like like trying to make it Summer 2016 again through science or magic. And being caught completely on the backfoot that kids actually want K Pop Demon Hunters stuff. "Uh, how about a stuffed Demegorgon? No?"

Saw Plan 9 at the Metrograph and the reel only broke once! An earnest mix of “let’s put on a show” and a fixation on death. Criswell prophesies what we dare not dream!

if you're not familiar, this is a perfect way to dig into Jean Rollin - in that sweet spot between arthouse and grindhouse, beautiful, surreal, sexy, and strange.

Criterion Channel @criterionchannl.bsky.social · 10h

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch FASCINATION (1979) in our Scary Sexy: 6 Films by Jean Rollin collection!

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

"Ugh! We cannot countenance making a joke out of an assassination of a public figure!"

Issue 2 of Peter Milligan's Shade the Changing Man that spins a wild psychedelia out of the JFK assassination. Cover shows the bleeding head of JFK on a sphinx body and a man melting into streams of colors in front of it.

Like if you think that comment was in poor taste, please, please don't ever read any of your own books from the late 80s and see what Peter Milligan and Grant Morrison got up to.

I gotta say, it's a bit rich relaunching Vertigo, "Comics! They're not just for kids!", after being lily livered cowards who hurled a trans writer under the bus for making a Kirk joke.
