Wildwood: stunning, but... my cat was run over and crawled off to die under a bush somewhere a year ago, and I never found him. So with that in mind, I'm afraid I'm Team Evil Sorceress Who Would Burn The Forest To The Ground If He Would Draw Breath Again.

If no Black actors want to play the Black characters in your movie because they think they’re offensive stereotypes, maybe rewrite the script rather than simply replacing them with AI. Another once-great filmmaker destroys his own legacy. theplaylist.net/paul-schrade...

First look at a new ‘Doctor Who’ animated series for preschoolers. The series follows the Doctor and his friends Hannah, Beastie and Toast-IE on adventures through time and space.

For ages I've wanted to do a folk horror about 20th century "invented traditions." I'm sure there's stuff out there already, though.

Ray Newman@raynewman.bsky.social

I'm enjoying Hutton laying into the tendency to assume every folk tradition is a ‘pagan survival’.

awed by the marketing for The Devils, by the way. they made a standee for it out of real tile - it screams "confess" when people walk by, and it weighs 666 lbs

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Christmas in the Dimitrescu household.

Reminds me of this old-timey Christmas card with a lady Krampus kidnapping men and putting them in her little basket on her back. I particularly like the one who has already been snatched up clapping his hands with delight.
