Right now @severinfilms.bsky.social has discounted "damaged" copies of ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS VOL 2 on their site.

Got mine today and the damage is near nonexistent, stoked to explore!

The first short, To Fire You Come At Last was an excellent start.

The plan is to send citizens $2000 in a health insurance credit that was raised from tariffs paid by those same citizens, have I got that right?

A film that dares to gaslight the viewer into developing characters, and tension, based solely on brand recognition.

A ★½ review of The Fantastic 4: First Steps (2025)
Someone mistook brand recognition for character development. I know I shouldn't review a film without finishing it, but this is just another big whiff with a  property with more entertaining big whiff...

One of the best film studies books about a topic that has been overlooked for too long. Highly recommend.
It's transgender awareness week, and if you ever wanted to learn more about the history of transness in cinema, you could pick up our book CORPSES, FOOLS AND MONSTERS at your local library or purchase a copy. We wrote this book for trans people like us. Thank you.

Interesting. Didn't feel like it in IMAX, none of the film felt overly digital at all.
but it ended up looking digital anyway…
Guillermo del Toro refused to use VFX for the ship in 'Frankenstein' so they built one from scratch ⚓️

"The ship is a character ... I didn't want the audience to go, 'Oh, this is all digital' ... once you introduce that, it's like a license for people not to believe things"

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Vote out @kaine.senate.gov !!!
This sucks dude. EVEN if Thune isn’t lying to you about the vote, the House won’t hold a vote.

You got nothing, and just proved to the public that the shutdown was your fault.

And you proved to Republicans that they can weaponize hunger. You negotiated with terrorists

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
