great day for Kevin Smith

this is the only thing i can think about when i see the trailer. at least someone is still doing journalism around here!

be like twin! buy my book!

my Saw pop-up book is officially out in the world and would look amazing on your coffee table

spoken like a true hollywood plant whose box office returns have yet to justify the investment. buddy, i don't think you can afford to be the Ed Sheeran of movies

counting or not counting gang violence

I wrote about Cornell, and the grim discursive cycle in which everyone says that they hate rape, but nobody does anything to stop it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

wrote about some of the best horror movies of the year (so far) with my colleagues over at EW:

thank fucking god

this is the closest i’ve ever been to Ethan Hawke. i still love you Troy Dyer

"You see what this looks like, right?" some thoughts on Primetime and the questions it doesn't attempt to interrogate — because we aren't, either. www.patreon.com/britthayes/p...

this is really powerful writing (and thinking, and reckoning) from Britt 🩵

siri why was To Catch a Predator so popular

Big Tech is using panic to suck the air out of the room just as people are demanding transparency and accountability for the sector’s egregious, monopolistic overreach into every facet of our lives. My latest column with bonus track open.spotify.com/track/403oiK...

hello! are you an editor or outlet in the market for some reviews from Fantastic Fest and/or an interview with Primetime director Lance Oppenheim? inquire within (my DMs)!

Kimberlyyyy 😭 Kimberly wrote 2 of my fave pieces in this tome and promoted the heck out of it with Sabrina. Britt did most of the brilliant infographics. Amelia (not pictured) copy-edited and researched. I’m so proud and lucky to work with these gals and many others. They’re also really fun :)

I’m so incredibly proud of @mereborders.bsky.social 🖤 She put a year+ of her life into the creation and curation of this book. Sabrina and I were honored to work with her on it. I’m also over the moon to have added to its pages with Britt and many other amazing writers. Small party, big effort.

any outlets looking for a few reviews out of Fantastic Fest next week?

nice quote from Mandami comms person Emilia Rowland to the New York Times

James Patterson looks like if they made a Paul Schrader who didn’t fuck

"We all have a monster side. I think Alice has been holding so much in and burying so much. She eats all of her anger, and Catherine kind of vomits and explodes it everywhere." i got to talk with the great Emmy Rossum about the excellent Furious finale for EW:

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

You do not, in fact, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Ebenezer Scrooge. Or Johnny Depp. Increasingly, not so sure you have to hand it to Ti West, either.

Andrew Bujalski already did this. it's called Support the Girls and it rocks.

MISSED AGAIN, MOTHERFUCKER

An incomplete list of things Dolly invested in rather than becoming a billionaire: her community and the natural environment surrounding it, literacy and education, fighting food insecurity, vaccines and other epidemiological research, her own catalogue, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The best of us.

some words on Soraya Roberts, the best writer i ever knew

Hola! I wrote a song called Sueño Americano about the facade of the American Dream and it got nominated in the Unsigned Only Music Awards, if you wanna vote for independent artists that sing about shit that matters www.unsignedonly.com/fandemonium~...

and his name is Thom Yorke

i never forgave marvel for not letting james spader be weird and fuck things in age of ultron. fool me twice, etc, but unfortunately i will be logging in for this

testing a theory: when you see an open dishwasher, what's the first thing that comes to mind?

Well, it’s invoicing day, and since they’re really apparently not going to pay me for something I wrote for them two months ago, I guess today is the day to post about how @vulture.com fucks over its film freelancers. Long (sorry) thread, with receipts:

Jacob Tremblay is now old enough to play Young Unabomber

Our buddy @bjcolangelo.bsky.social needs a little help from her friends (and I'm a bully). BJ needs what is, essentially, a full mouth replacement thanks to cancer radiation. We can't eliminate the dental trauma, but we can help with the life-altering debt. www.gofundme.com/f/bj-needs-a...
