NW: 3 From Hell. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. 31 was so unwatchable I thought Rob Zombie was cooked but that might be the only film of his I outright dislike. #horrorsky #filmsky

Got too excited about the fall temps with the windows open all weekend and let my apartment get too cold. Now I’m sick and calling into work. Absolute dipshit behavior over here.

I’d be getting through more horror movies this season if I hadn’t gotten weirdly into Grimm. Life’s been stressful and light network TV middle of the road horror has been just what I needed. #HorrorSky

Every time I think I might be done with Survivor it comes out absolutely swinging. This cast is almost entirely full of psychotics and I’m loving it so much. #survivor #survivor51

NW: Night Of The Demons (1988) Great sleazy time. “Bodacious boobies, sis! If they keep growing you’ll have to hire someone to tie your shoes!” #horrorsky

Watched The Color Of Money for the first time the other day. Main takeaway? ‘It’s In The Way That You Use It’ hits harder than ‘Werewolves Of London’. I don’t even like Clapton but what a fucking jam #filmsky #musicsky

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning grows on me a little more every time I watch it. Yeah it still kind of feels like a porno but there are some genuinely funny and/or charming bits among the greasy madness #horrorsky #filmsky

Halloween decor is up, a trashy fun flick on the tv (Dangerous Animals), and the second edible of the day is kicking in. Only thing ruining the vibe is it’s 100 fucking degrees outside

I have some variation of “Don’t worry he’s friendly!” “Yeah well mine ain’t!” Once a week

A lot of people in my neighborhood walk their dogs off leash like they're showing off how well behaved their dogs are, but what they aren't prepared for is how badly behaved my dog is.

Thought the Netflix Shipwrecked documentary was about the poop cruise but it’s just a bunch of cruise passengers freaking out about sinking 200 yards from shore. Very disappointing.

That big ol Jackie Chan Breakout Hits box set came early and I’ve somehow never seen Drunken Master II/Legend Of Drunken Master so I started there. Greatest fucking thing I’ve ever seen maybe? Like what the fuck #ActionSky #filmsky

Watching Smallville for the first time and it’s one of the most dated shows I’ve ever seen. The music cues are fucking hysterical, the acting is abysmal and I’ve never seen a jankier title sequence in my life. I can’t turn it off I love it so much. #tvsky

Name your top 15 shows ever, gut instincts only— The X Files Cheers Saturday Night Live The Larry Sanders Show 30 Rock Seinfeld Frasier Survivor The Shield Fringe The Simpsons King Of The Hill Veep Taskmaster Wings

Hard Rain is on Paramount Plus. It seems to be a mediocre DVD rip but I still can’t recommend it enough. Great schlocky premise executed well and gets it all done in 95 minutes. #actionsky #filmsky

Picked up the 4K of Tobe Hooper’s Salem’s Lot from Arrow on a whim tonight. If you want thrills, it ain’t got em. But if you wanna just mosey around a spooky 70’s small town for 3 hours well buddy I am there. #horrorsky #physicalmedia #filmsky

Conservatives seem to frequently have the internal struggle of liking the art but hating the message. I have the opposite problem with protest songs written by dudes over 50. Liking the message but thinking the songs suck shit.

wrote a bit about springsteen’s minneapolis song which to me doesn’t sound like it matches the current moment danozzi.substack.com/p/i-need-pro...

I’m not even to the universally derided episode 7 yet and I am completely checked out on #StrangerThings People wandering alternate worlds in their mind is tedious bullshit to me I’m sorry.

A scary movie a day until Halloween. Name the film and director, and provide a still or poster. Film: In The Mouth Of Madness (1994) Director: John Carpenter #FilmSky #HorrorSky #HalloweenSky
