Finally seated for Zach Cregger’s RESIDENT EVIL. Life’s made it hard to get out to the movies but I couldn’t miss this in the theater. RE is one of my favorite series of games, I’m a fan of the PWSA series despite their passing resemblance to RE, WTRC…not so much. Very excited to see Cregger’s take.

DO A POWERBOMB is so fantastic. DWJ is the goat!

“It’s only fascism if they manipulate elections!” “It’s only fascism if they disappear people off the street!” “It’s only fascism if they take over the media!” “It’s only fascism if they jail their political opponents!” Is there even anything left?

Let’s fucking go!! No one’s better at getting stories from and digging into history of the creators behind some of the best special makeup fx in horror than Heather. Guaranteed good time.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

[31 DAYS OF HORROR] DAY 7 - BLOODY TENNIS. Fresh out of Fantastic Fest, this horrific tennis academy tale is mainly inspired by Italian horror, namely SUSPIRIA, with a dash of Julia Ducournou’s RAW.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

"If House Republicans are going to pull off an upset in November, they say it would come down to the party’s massive cash advantage and its aggressive gerrymandering push." Eg, not on policies or the will of a democratic electorate. www.cnn.com/2026/10/03/p...

If you're in TX, even if you voted in the primary, you need to check and make sure you haven't been purged for one reason or another. Especially if you have a Spanish surname.

ONE LAST SHOT starring Scott Adkins is a satisfying conclusion to maybe the most ambitious series in modern indie action. Somehow they do ROPE-style filmmaking on tight budgets and schedules, and the story is engrossing enough that I forget to think much about the technical side. (Now on VOD.)

As I told @gregsargent.bsky.social, Congress should demand answers from those responsible for diverting taxpayer funding intended to protect people from persecution to some of the world’s worst authoritarians, for purposes which clearly violate human rights.

Awful: Trump's Office of "Remigration" has just been exposed making sordid payments to authoritarian governments to take third-country deportees, leading to serious abuses. Dems tell me they will try to defund the agency if they win power. They should. 1/ New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2157...

I intentionally worked the word filmatism into this review as a tribute to my favorite film critic @outlawvern.bsky.social who not only has been an inspiration and influence but was the one who first put me onto Scott Adkins and the UNDISPUTED sequels back in the day.

My takeaway from this is that Microsoft is moving from a studio-focused model, which is where they based their acquisition decisions on what companies could just operate independently with no oversight (which was stupid) to an IP-focused model where everyone loses autonomy in service of properties.
