#11 The Wicker Man (1973) Folk horror has been back in vogue for at least a decade now but there's still nothing like The Wicker Man. Songs! Animal totems! Weird ideas about virginity! It feels very silly right up until it doesn't.

Everything the GOP says is crafted to become a soundbite on FOX that will reassure the credulous dipshits of America that It's Fine, Everything's Fine. It doesn't matter if it's all lies & even if someone calls out the lies it will just be edited out & this is just a demoralizing way to live.

#10 Mandy (2018) In which Nicolas Cage out-Nicolas Cages himself. If I were a billionaire I'd give Panos Cosmatos $100 million and free reign.

You cannot be fucking serious

"Constantly externalizing internal conflicts" should come right after "every accusation is a confession."

Well I say letting the wealthy continue to vacuum up all the wealth in the world is killing society and the planet we inhabit.

It really was an amazing read!

October book #1: The Unicorn is Iris Murdoch's take on the 1960s dimestore gothic romance. This is a book about about a bunch of weirdos trapped in a stately home between a sea cliff & a deadly bog. If that isn't enough to sell you, everyone is secretly gay & constantly chugging whisky 5/5

Historically I've chosen to extend my hatred of the CSI franchise to all of CBS, so I'm kind of excited to watch Bari Weiss burn it down.

It's weird that they let Zapp Brannigan write a Times op-ed.

Wow, guess we better get half a million cars off the road.

#9 The other heavy hitter from the 1970s on this list is 1973's The Exorcist, a movie about how horrible it would be if God was actually real. Probably a perfect film. Skip Exorcist II but III is very much worth a look if you've never.

The photograph on the album cover, "Fate Descends Towards the River Leading Two Innocent Children" (1970), is by photographer Jan Saudek, born in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1935. Two months after the album's release, Czechoslovakia ceased to be a country. At 90, Saudek lives in Prague, now in Czechia

INDEED

#8 Dario Argento was a bit obscure when I started watching his movies back when Netflix mailed out DVDs. Now he's everywhere & Suspiria (1977) is rightly regarded as his masterpiece. Ostensibly about witches, really about Argento's flair for visuals, give it a watch if you've been skipping it.

Condolences on the loss of your mother ❤️

#7 Angel Heart is a 1987 detective noir/voodoo horror/Jacobean drama that got Lisa Bonet fired from The Cosby Show & was saddled with an NC17 rating by the MPAA (director Alan Parker had to cut 10 seconds). If ur local come watch it at Casa Video @ 8pm on 10/26, I'm making a flyer & everything.

gonna be out there with a pup tent & a multitool & trap these billionaires in their holes. gonna call it gophering

It's honestly very satisfying that the apple cider vinegar people have to eat shit, just as it was satisfying when the coconut oil people had to eat shit.

Oh, this is a whole thing:

#6 The only movie from the 1990s in my top 15 is Antonia Bird's Ravenous (1999). A must-see for fans of historical horror or cannibal horror or Guy Pearce or Robert Carlyle & about as deranged as a movie can be while still somehow falling into the category of a fun watch. Also a great group movie!

I heard someone once say that animism might not be true but believing in it will make you a better person
