The director of a film about people who can only have sex one night a year took out the sex scenes because "No one wants to see that." Bro, why do you think people are coming to your movie? Your poster girl is dressed like a sex worker.
100 Days of Halloween #99: Pitch Black It's been so long since I've seen this one.. I've kinda missed the cheesy graphics, vague story and cheap one liners.
So he's going to begin the election denial this Thursday right? That's what we're getting? No part of me thinks there's going to be a fair or legitimate election this year. No part of me thinks the Democrats aren't going to let/help it happen.
Since it's picking up popularity again let me agree: #TheLongWalk written by @stephenking.bsky.social has always been my favorite story of his. @markhamillofficial.bsky.social is so deep as Major, I didn't even realize it was him until someone told me.
We live in a society where a Dr. can prescribe a medication, a pharmacy HAS the medication and an insurance company can deny access to it. Then the patient will go online and defend the insurance company's right to kill them. This isn't normal
Everyone at this literary festival is reading about God and religion and I'm about to get up and read a chapter about selling pills online, smoking weed and hacking webcams. 😬
The obsession with 'passing' as a trans person, I feel, is deeply rooted in transphobia and misogyny. We are not binary. We are a beautiful intersection of experience. We do not need to hide inside socially accepted categories. 1/2 Photo: Alok V Menon - pioneer/poet/beautiful soul
Just gonna act like there wasn't a massive technology outage in Texas the week of an important election? Ok. Sure.
Wondering why the streets are DEAD in Greensboro today... Because EVERYONE is here at the #walkforpeace Great to see.
My cat after the 50th time I push them off in the middle of the night:
#100DaysofHalloween 37: #TheyLive Starting today with a vaguely libertarian critique of 80s commercialism and capitalist dystopia. What's your favorite line?
Every atrocity in history was caused by what humans are willing to do to each other.
Every day is an opportunity to experience something new. Some of those days you do it heels.
Once you become a 'film nerd ' you have all these obscure films that you absolutely LOVE but no one is talking about near enough. These are some of mine.
First up in today's horror-thon. The Apex of 2000s zombie films.
So raise your fists And march around Don’t dare take what you need I’ll jail and bury those committed And smother the rest in greed Crawl with me into tomorrow Or I’ll drag you to your grave I’m deep inside your children They’ll betray you in my name
Second day of Pride brings us these two gems. A sapphic feminist gore fest and a not quite as good as the original but still pretty solid exploration of otherness.
Happy Pride everyone. Today's film was Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge Easily the gayest of the era and terrible in all the right ways.
Forgot how gritty this one was. It's pure 90s at its darkest. Bleak and pessimistic. An interesting commentary on the choices we make and the consequences within. The rules that protect us and the ones that contain us. #FilmReview
Finally got around to watching The Rule of Jenny Pen. What an absolute bonkers commentary on the indignity of growing old and what matters when everything else is taken away. Brilliant but deeply upsetting. #FilmReview
