The final culmination of incorporating almost every daily 🎨🎃 #hARToween prompt into a single painting. Behold the chaos of 31 Days of Halloween! #traditionalart #acrylicpainting

boxd.itA ★★★★½ diary entry for Wildwood (2026)

I don't know if this film is reviewable -- it would be like reviewing a hand-carved cane or a knitted sweater or a dance of light falling through the autumn trees. The plot is not even secondary, it's tertiary at best. The rat, the balcony scene, the crows, oh my god, the crows! 📽️ boxd.it/gYoqZF

We have found ourselves in a sudden three cat household. We already had Alfie, our 18 year diagnosed with FOSCC this summer and Kitsune, our middle aged orange chonky fluff. Our son is going on a prolonged road trip and bequeathed his cat Skittles to us to watch over.

So now we have to slowly introduce the new cat and the middle aged cat (who are terrified of each other even though they haven't seen each other yet) while providing hospice care to the old cat. Basically every day each of us take turns sleeping in a different bed with a different cat.

Something I wish more people would realize.

Really trying to get into the spooky season but while my latest horror watches were fine, I'm still looking for a 4 ⭐️ I haven't seen yet. On the other hand, this year's Over the Garden Wall rewatch has been perfectly synchronized to the weather! #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

What a great 3 hour (!) show the Smashing Pumpkins put on last night. I hope I have that much energy at nearly 60 -- hold on -- I'm being told that's less than 7 years away -- and I don't have that much energy now -- I see.

Are we posting lock screens? Every few months I come back to this pic I took at the Boston Library. It's so calming.

No cheating, post your lock screen: A section of my favorite painting, “Heart of the Andes”, with a pleasing color filter over it so my apps pop off it better for my old man peepers to see.

"Introduce yourself with four starships."

"Introduce yourself with four starships."

If horror is a reflection of our cultural anxieties, the continued intersection of horror and comedy (back to the Get Out revelation) is obviously fed by the gnawing truths that everything is terrible but also everyone is ridiculous.

🎃 Imani Gandy Corn 🎃@angryblacklady.blacksky.app

I'm rewatching Widow's Bay. I see some people complaining that it's not a comedy. How in the world do you watch this show and think it's not a comedy. There are so many good touches in the first episode that I missed. Like the wolves calendar that has the photo of the overturned truck. Lol

The largest genre reach in this moment has to incorporate some comedic beats. Skit writers make top grossing horror flicks. Fallout and Widow's Bay are basically work comedies. Absurdist analog collages escape from college screening rooms.

Where is the escapism then, if horror and fantasy and scifi are dealing these cards? Back to where it ever was -- comic books and comic book media, where they embraced their goofy nature long ago and remain as self-serious as always. The bad guys are serious and the good guys win? Crazy stuff.

🎃 Imani Gandy Corn 🎃@angryblacklady.blacksky.app

Anyone blind to the comedy in Widow's Bay probably also still thinks the government and the CEOs and the writers of opinion columns are serious people. That's not saying they are not real people. Widow's Bay works because they are real people placed into situations that are both silly and terrible.

Did you like Enys Men? Do you like your movies to be ambient soundtracks and thick film grain and textures you can feel? Then I would say see this one and let it soak into you. #filmsky 📽️ boxd.it/gaDVAL

One cool thing about working on the Simpsons movie is getting to see things made on the Fox lot. Usually we artists are sequestered with other artists, but on the Fox lot we are the only animation artists. And most people are open to chatting with us. (More)🧵

Gonna commit some heresy and take my father to see the Odyssey on the worst (and only) screen in his town. We're talking tiny room, dim lamps, torn fabric, crackly speakers. And I'm gonna grade it on that hahahaha

Black holes can’t normally be made in labs, but physicists created a light-based “analog” black hole to study Hawking radiation. Their experiment found quantum behavior matching Stephen Hawking’s predictions, offering new evidence for his famous 1974 theory.
