The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is the urtext of LifeTime movies.

Miller looks like a cancerous testicle cosplaying as Lex Luthor.

HOLY COW. What an issue:

It’s crazy that the theatrical cut of Iron Eagle (1986) ends with Louis Gossett Jr.’s character and the kid kissing like in Sixteen Candles.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

Super excited to be back in Ghost Parachute. I love this story and am glad it find the right home!

I’m losing hours to Hades 2.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

I've got a new #flashfiction up in one of my favorite journals. Hope you'll check it out!

Thank you @thedrevlow.bsky.social!

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

New: Definition by Sarena Tien!

Adeline Song is on the run. The US government has started to hunt down people like her. But when Adeline crosses paths with mechanic Finley Reyes, she must decide whether she will let other people continue to define her, or whether she will finally define herself.

Disney is really failing to read the room by sending out a price increase announcement for Hulu.

Thrilled to have a flash in @yourimpossiblevoice.com about sisterly bonds and the things that go wrong when you're living your life. Thanks to Editor @keithjpowell.com!
