- Finally time for THE STRANGERS - CHAPTER 3 and then I’m free of this godawful trilogy. At least 3 can’t be as bad as the last one. It just ... can’t be. Right?
- Reposted by Matt DonatoThe thing is, billionaires don’t see history when they look at a business. They don’t see pride, culture, value… They don’t see people. They only see numbers. Bezos can rebuild The Washington Post AND still be the billionaire that he is. But to the soulless uber-wealthy, legacy means nothing.
- Here's a fun one from #Sundance for @bloody-disgusting.com. I sat down with @conanthecontrarian.bsky.social and James Wan to reminisce about SAW's fateful festival premiere. We talked about disrupting the horror genre, a particularly scathing review, the franchise continuing without them, and more!
- Had a lovely night of podcasting with @monagle.bsky.social and @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social about possessed Nazi boats and fighting fascism. Didn’t expect our DEATH SHIP episode to crack open such a weighty convo, and that’s why I love our lil podcast @certifiedforgot.bsky.social.
- Dropped a podcast somewhere between coming home from #Sundance and immediately moving across LA! I haven’t even shared all my reviews yet (finally catching up), but if you wanna hear my take on the entire Midnight slate…
- The tattoo gods were smiling on me today while moving. Only scratched my leg on a single box, and the scratch stopped RIGHT before the ink. Ignore the tattoo soup. Still have Second Skin on!
- When you’re trying to move but can’t stop finding MARTY SUPREME ping pong balls.
- I did some journalisming at Sundance! Was a pleasure to chat with James Wan and Leigh Whannell about all things SAW. Full interview coming, but here’s a neat little breakout.
- One of the greats. 🖤
- The directors behind GIVE ME THE BALL! gave a healthy “Abolish ICE” (possibly “Fuck ICE,” but fest head’s a lil blurry) to the same crowd roar. The doc’ers came out swinging this year at Sundance. (WHEN A WITNESS RECANTS is damn good.)
- [me in the apocalypse] “So what can you offer?” “Well, if you play a bunch of movies in a row, over and over for about a week, and ask me to review every one of them, I can deliver on-time and quality critiques under extreme pressure and deadlines.” [immediately cannibalized]
- My evil little snowball commemoration to Park City and Sundance, added to my “horror tattoos as reminders of festivals” collection. First person to call out the reference picture I showed the artist gets a dollar and a hug.
- Welp, today is a first. I’ve written reviews on line for movies, on subways, etc etc, but today’s the first time I’ve ever started writing a review on my phone while getting tattooed lol.
