Yeah, they don’t really interest me too much. Cool to see an indie breakout happen on that scale, but I don’t think they’re gonna be my jam.

I wouldn’t know, I’ve never seen a single Terrifier!

Really gnarly, some of the most tough-to-watch gore I’ve seen in awhile. I guess that’s a compliment?

Kicked off spooky season last night with an old favourite that will, sadly, always be far too relevant.

James Downey’s appearance in One Battle After Another sent me seeking out the thing I best know him from, one of the all-time great SNL ad parodies.

I rewatched this again the other night and found myself grinning at every new character introduction, but laughing out loud with joy at that William H. Mustache, and that William H. Mullet.

A movie prop I would *love* to own is Jesse’s terrible painting of William H. Macy’s character Little Bill in BOOGIE NIGHTS.

It’s often mistaken for a Dirty Harry movie, but it’s not actually part of any franchise. Great poster—I actually scored a blu ray with that cover!

Just a quick appreciation for this wonderful piece by artist extraordinaire and all-around swell guy @kellytindall.bsky.social, depicting the cast of my favourite movie, Joe Dante’s THE ‘BURBS.

More Colan-inspired Dracula. We gotta get back to this design one day, because his look in current Marvel continuity is questionable at best.

I really like that movie! It kinda has a modern-day ABOMINABLE DR PHIBES vibes.

From the sketchbook, jamming on the idea that both Superman and Doctor Doom employ an army of robotic duplicates of themselves. If they ever met, would these AI doppelgängers possibly join forces in a new form bent on unshackling themselves from their flesh & blood masters?

No idea why that got deleted, I didn’t delete it! Anyway, it was this new doc about the making of Exorcist II that I was excited about. Only just heard about it today.
