Would Elon Musk stoop so low as to show off his absurd "flying car" just to distract from being outed for funding Ken Paxton, turning off Starlink to Ukraine, and the release of Alex Gibney's damning documentary about him? Would you put it past him? www.austinchronicle.com/screens/film...

If someone takes offense to Obama's Cheesecake Factory joke, mute/block/ignore. This is basket of deplorables all over again.

The hottest anyone has ever looked in a movie.

I have been saying for years - voters respond to passion more than policy.

Thanks (?) to the Trash in the Can guys for having me on to review Black Mamba, a completely unhinged zero budget anthology horror that is part SOV disaster, part Christian haunted house, and part Mac screensaver. The director seems lovely, though. open.spotify.com/episode/2cHj...

My response to most of the insufferable film bro discourse about That Film can be boiled down to "Read some Derrida, I beg you."

#ATX: If you've never made it out to Community First! Village before, or to one of my movie nights, might I suggest TONIGHT?! FREE, under the stars, on the big screen, supports a great cause. Amaze! #ProjectHailMary #Austin www.eventbrite.com/e/project-ha...

The former head of CLEAT, the biggest police union in Texas and a reliably pro-Republican block vote, just said he's voting for Talarico over Paxton. This is genuinely unprecedented.

What better way to kick off Halloween season than a chat with two living horror legends? Brez and Vespe welcome Night of the Living Dead's Judith O'Dea and Russ Streiner and talk about the legacy of that film, Romero, and their favorite @stephenking.bsky.social stories.

A metaphor with so many layers it needs elevators.

The Cinema Museum in London is trying to buy its building and they are about 1/4 of the way to their goal. It's a converted Victorian workhouse where Charlie Chaplin lived and worked as a child. Could you share or donate a bit? www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-cinema...

The Fielder bros throwing their shoulders out to shrug this off ...

Ken Paxton is the worst. Michael King is the best.

As someone who has been loudly calling Fucktoys one of the best American indie films of the decade since before its world premiere, thrilled to hear that it's getting a release AND with the title in place. www.austinchronicle.com/screens/taki...

Yeah, so I'm pretty much on my own in promoting this thing, so any shares are appreciated... from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/announcement...

AEW gave me a cassette tape too, but it was just the Eddie Kingston kvetching about Claudio.

There's a cadre of Republicans who, while undeniably ghouls, really hate a large chunk of their party that seem like their allies. They know people like Nate Sheets, Bo French, and Ken Paxton better than anyone, and loathe them.

MAGA getting its ass kicked at the ballot box in Canada will be a delightful amuse bouche.

IRS refuses to publish report. Ahead of the midterm elections, the Trump regime is withholding detailed information that illustrates how King Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act hurt millions of Americans. The data from the IRS was originally scheduled to be released in July & updated in September.

Everything about this screams "we want to lose money." That said, if forced, I am a Ringo guy to the end.

Musk is quite literally the film the tech oligarchs do not want you to see.

TikTok has (per the Hollywood Reporter) banned the account for Alex Gibney’s documentary “Musk” citing “political content” that ostensibly violates its policies. The movie is in theaters and here’s how you can see it. Please share. bleeckerstreetmedia.com/editorial/fi...

Another perfect post from the social media accounts of Cannibal Corpse lead singer George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher.

Just got confirmed for a screening of Wildwood next week and, animation people, I am thrilled. No studios excite me quite as much as Laika and Cartoon Saloon.
