Thank you to everyone for the enduring kindness you’ve shown me over the last week. He was a little cat, but he brightened my whole world. Norman Leszak May 2007-July 2026 My sweetest friend.

This week’s newsletter recs are in memory of my cat Norman. I was expecting that. I wrote them. But Phil’s editorial made me sob (not the first or last time). Read here: tinyurl.com/5n8hjdzs Thanks to everyone who showed up for me this week. I love you. + to the 🖤🐐 @philnobilejr.bsky.social

The warning at the bottom where it tells “everyone may begin to experience health effects” really did something for me. *wheeze*

You come into my house on the day of my son’s gotcha? 🤌

Forbidden Fruits (2026)

Well, my mom… started her own prompt as shown. Repost a movie from the 70s that starts with a B BEYOND THE DOOR

How is my result even worse?

Happy Mother’s Day, @motherofskye.bsky.social 💝 I said it a whole bunch today, but I wanted to say it again. I love you, mom.

Name ONE John Cameron Mitchell movie that’s NOT the Tommy McLoughlin directed “It’s a Miserable Life” episode of FREDDY’S NIGHTMARES.

It’s got too much going on, but it’s so worth the IMAX watch. I forgot the real world is crumbling around us for at least fifteen minutes and that alone adds a half star.

Happy birthday @motherofskye.bsky.social 👑 I love you so much and I wish I could be with you today.

If you see this, post a character from space:

Annnnd… he is fallen.

He is risen.

I was not as attached to the first READY OR NOT as others were, but when they added Elijah Wood and Kathryn Newton for READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME…

Peak personal and professional accomplishments for me in this issue of @fangoria.bsky.social If little me could see me now 🥰 @philnobilejr.bsky.social @mereborders.bsky.social and @jasonkauz.bsky.social are a publication dream team and I’m honored they include my work. You might say it’s MAGIC.

Go see DOLLY and THE BRIDE! this weekend. Everything feels like it's pointing toward fewer theaters and lower reach for artistic voices in the future of film and we should do everything we can to stop that. Also, Ethan Suplee rules. My favorite part of DOLLY.

Why use ChatGPT to write your emails and social copy when you can read dated linguistic books for fun and wow your peers and readers with anachronistic charm?

This is who runs this account

Heartbroken and missing my favorite negligent movie mama and one of the most naturally funny players in the history of entertainment. I say this sparingly, but Catherine O’Hara was undoubtedly one of a kind. 🖤

Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal is everything I ever wanted in a villain.

Update: I am not alone.

I have just been informed both Jonathan Bailey and Aaron Taylor Johnson are allegedly not Dan Stevens. Allegedly.

Bob Peak did more fantastical versions I always liked

Last Saturday was the ten year anniversary of a close friend being shot dead in her own home. Some 3650 or so days later, I’m somehow numb while equally lost in the futile wish it had been me. I don’t want to talk about it, but I want everyone to remember her. I love you, Jami.

Name a comfort 90s film

While you’re all here, motion for someone to scratch my head and give me a cookie.

Notably, fhis morning @theneonbanshee.bsky.social tagged me in this picture of Pamela Anderson’s (world’s most beautiful) pickles. There is still love left in this world. 🥰

For @blondekwaidan.bsky.social because I would like her to have a nice weekend* (*If the rest of you can’t decipher that just from seeing this picture of Lee Pace and a cozy armpitted hen)
