They’ll never get The Texas Chainsaw Massacre right again. Not because they don’t try... because they can’t. The original wasn’t about gore. It was about absolute decay. The heat. Rotting dreams. A world already dead and yet still moving onward.

A pure documentary about the collapse of America.

My office is pretty much a shrine to Drew Stuzan.

Literally the best to ever do it.

May he Rest in Peace.

I see conservatives are very mad kid rock isnt the half time show, forgetting how they wanted to burn him alive the last time he showed up at one because he wore an american flag as a poncho

Bluesky really wants a shit load of personal information to use DMs. So I might not be long for this shithole.

It’s like the Kardashians hooked up with the Squid Game, gave birth to a Sopranos reboot and we’re supposed to pretend it’s the West Wing.

I love how all the so-called critics are shocked that Paul Thomas Anderson can shoot great action sequences because it tells me they're totally unfamiliar with his early work, like Alien vs Predator and Resident Evil: Afterlife, which has always been his true love

crazy they got so many castings right, perhaps none more important than Rand, and then just elected to not utilize that. Wild.

Robert Redford wasn’t just a great actor. He used his profile to help others. From environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBTQ advocacy, and independent film, he cared deeply about people, and preserving their culture and world.

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

An illustration of a scene from Fargo drawn in the style of the comic strip The Far Side: Marge encountering the wood chipper situation and exclaiming, “Oh Jeez.”

1. A cold glass of water at 2am
2. a dog choosing to snuggle you over other people in the room.
3. Finishing your cereal before it gets soggy
4. Opening a pack of baseball cards perfectly
5. To see your enemies driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. Cold side of a pillow
2. Autumn in New York City, sweater-weather temperature
3. Crocs (the shoe, not the reptile)
4. Finding stuff after thinking you lost it
5. Cats

Live your life so you never have to wonder if people will celebrate your death.

It's so funny, after watching all of s1, I sat there like "Oh this is actually a bit better than I remembered, I had fun! Even with the last two covid weird eps!" Then s2 hit and it was a fucking SLOG after ep 3. Just woeful to get through at times.

honestly, it's impressive how the penultimate episode of your season has 0 actual impact on anything in the finale. No set up is paid off. It just ends up being a bunch of random shit people seal clapped for

it's genuinely maddening how on rewatch you could just skip episode 7 and literally nothing changes. It's an entirely wasted episode where nothing of consequence actually happens

Sharks were put on notice for extinction because this movie fucking scared so many people. It's horror.

Sorry, Dan. I like you and your movies but you're wrong on this one. I gotta defend the horror genre once again. 🎥
