Doing my October thread of a horror movie I like a day again! Not much thought beyond “you should watch this”. Enjoy!

As a romantic (in life) and a Romantic (in college studies) I loved Del Toro's Frankenstein—the sweep, the beauty and the headlong emotion of it. Its visual and thematic echoes range from Burke & Hare to Ingres to Hammer, but it's no pastiche—it's a vividly individual film.

TRON: Ares movie review & film summary (2025) | Roger Ebert

“TRON: Ares” is spectacularly designed, swiftly paced, thoughtfully written, and directed within an inch of its neon-hued life.

He didn’t have the TDs it appears Egbuka will but he did have a 1500-yard rookie season.

There are details in all eight episodes of ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ that are based in fact, but anything that might have happened, even if only in Ed’s mind, is fair game, too.

Amidst the abundance and bounty on the Criterion Channel is Satoshi Kon's masterpiece Millennium Actress, catch it while you can

It gets so much worse in terms of discomfort just so you know.

Wondering how Monster matches up with reality? Not much! I broke down all the parallels for @vulture.com www.vulture.com/article/mons...

How Monster Butchers the Real Ed Gein Story

A show about how truth becomes legend, and vice versa, pushes the limits of “based on a true story.”

Been isolating in my basement since

My wife came in during the 8th episode of The Return and I just keep pointing and saying “This is TV” like an idiot. Couldn’t believe it.

Kinda hated the third MONSTER with its tenuous grip on reality and shallow commentary on the impact of violence on pop culture. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/mons...

The finale of MONSTER: THE ED GEIN STORY is one of the most bonkers things I've ever seen. And I've seen every episode of every Ryan Murphy show. (This one sucks, btw.)

This means I’m dying soon, Keith, because I believe I’m around 495.
