I know ridiculously obscure details about film. Some people seem to think it’s a legitimate talent. One day, maybe it will earn me a living.

Get a fucking hobby. $25,000 for getting caught peeing, wtaf ~ After a decade and more than 16 tries, Texas state lawmakers will send to the governor’s desk an anti-trans bill, which restricts access to public facilities and places a $25,000 fine on the first violation. 19thnews.org/2025/09/texa...
Rest in Power Rosalyn Drexler: playwright, novelist, painter, singer, and wrestler - when will come another? It was very special to have a new generation of female creators show appreciation to her by hosting this screening of the adaptation of her book, even if she herself wasn't a fan of it.
Went down a Rosalyn Drexler wormhole. Pulp based visual arts, pro-wrestler, novelization writer. Wrote the book Below the Belt was based on, the novelization of Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway and its sequel, as well as Rocky, and wrote for a Lily Tomlin TV special.

if the Biden Irrelevancy had one clear lesson it's that you can't retake democracy from those who would destroy it and then spend years slow-rolling the arrests of those responsible while failing to explicitly change the rules to keep them from power
Something I wonder about for real is what comes after this, whenever that is. Because it can't be this again, right? Like if this is what the presidency is now then we can't ever have another president
I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!
Really want to emphasize the fact that even if that boat was loaded down with the finest of 70s era cocaine that doesn’t justify killing 11 people.
Great. But where’s Ann Hui?? Six-time Best Director at the HK Film Awards and *only* director whose work has won a Grand Slam (Best Picture/Director/Screenplay/Actor/Actress) — not once but twice. Lifetime Achievement Awards at Venice, Asian Film Awards and HK Fest.
I've been saying "you don't actually need a lot of money to make a really good movie" so often on here that I should probably just get a T-shirt made up The problem, which is beyond my pay grade to solve, is that once you've made it, you have to get people to see it
you simply do not have to defend graham linehan that’s not a thing you have to spend your time doing there are better options, like cleaning lint out of the dryer
People asking "How could Marco Rubio abandon his principles so easily?" should maybe consider that his "principles" were always just a checklist of stances he thought would put him in power if he adopted them. He was always an actor reading lines. Come to think of it, Christie nailed him on this.
The greatest failures of this country are not destroying the confederacy (should kicked them while they were down), not locking up Nixon, and definitely not locking up Trump the first time.
Joseph Ladapo and his wife who calls herself "an intuitive spiritual healer, movement therapist, and teacher" are highly involved in questionable health theories. Brianna Ladapo has posted about weather modifications, chem trails, frequencies, "experiments to dim the sun," and COVID being planned/
there's some motherfuckers I will not mourn, and I hope I will not mourn them sooner rather than later
Really not enjoying the combination of “nobody has a job” and “everything is expensive now”
Bracing myself for an avalanche of celebs to expose their shittiness by standing with Linehan. His name has been such poison that most people wouldn't touch him (even if they secretly agreed with him), but I suspect some are going to see the "free speech" excuse as providing cover.
Can’t remember who said it but Bari Weiss’s one and only skill is convincing the dumbest rich people to give her money.
i would not have guessed this morning that a lesbian taking over cbs news and a scott thompson tweet could bum me out this much, but here we are.
Remember like eight months ago when Hegseth fired all the most senior JAGs whose job is to stop him from doing illegal things?
"AND SO YOU ALWAYS SHALL!"
was gonna do a post reminding people that malcolm gladwell has no training in psychology, cognitive science, or sociology and has been described as someone with an “aversion for fact” but in perusing his wiki i also found out he once wrote for a mag owned by the fucking MOONIES
This week is too much of a mindfuck politically. This dude is clearly unwell and a pedophile and to distract from that, he’s invading Chicago and ordering the military to murder a boat full of desperate migrants in international waters. My imagination is failing at what happens next week.
if eric adams accepts that trump administration job offer, it'll be the first time in history that a tweet aged so bad that it would kill the person that posted it
I don't know how well sourced this Bari Weiss-CBS thing is but it really does seem that we're in an era where billionaires who own news outlets care more about using them as their own personal mouthpieces than about running profitable businesses.
Look, I'm just going to be blunt. I hate these people. I hate that anyone, let alone a black man, would have the audacity to use the demonic abuses inflicted upon our ancestors as a tool to deflect from abandoning their progeny today in the south.

Does this mean we'll actually see Eve Tessmacher's toes in this one?
holy shit dude using a fake deployment for wildland fire crews from a fire that’s only 13% contained during peak western US fire season to detain multiple firefighters and remove the crews from the fire is a scale of evil & dangerous I can’t fully communicate to people not from wildfire regions

Paying off needle-drop fees and IP licenses on older movies that the studios have been too cheap to settle themselves. Give UMG and Susan Hart their insane $ demands and get AMERICAN HOT WAX, DEADHEAD MILES, DARKER THAN AMBER, CEILING ZERO, LA MARGE, and the classic AIP titles to physical media.
thread...
Peacock has a few random episodes of MST3K but they do not put the commercials on at the designated break spots and honestly I feel that this and this alone is why this country is in such bad shape.
The Supreme Court keeps yelling at the district courts for not understanding that the new rule is to decide in favor of the Trump administration and their allies in every case regardless of the facts or the substance of the law.
But if you use flag to beat up a policeman at the US Capital, you get a job in the Justice Department.
DO IT!

Success in the entertainment industry is hard, sometimes soul-crushing, work - to get to really reap its rewards is a blessing. To squander that, spend all that hard won audience capital, to what? Further oppress the already deeply oppressed? For the life of me I will NEVER understand doing that.
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Oh yes. I've been posting it online in various capacities since the dawn of the internet, and I'm sure other fans have horked it in the same way the original Film Forum ads got lifted for rogue DVD art. Glad you were an early fan.
Very relevant considering the “we just blew up these guys we assumed were drug dealers” story that’s also prominent.
There was a time not that long ago, when a number of people I thought were talented and funny and who it might be cool to be friends with weren't openly transphobic, and now I wonder if it was that they weren't transphobic then but decided to be, or were always transphobes and just got loud about it
Whatever, dude. A BTS moment from Burn It All Down: in 2022, we were asked if we wanted to interview Gladwell and in explaining why we didn't, I wrote: "He has also veered into transphobic territory when discussing trans inclusion in sports, and we are adamantly pro-inclusion on our podcast."
Hey, everyone, Ted Cruz is making fun of another politician’s appearance. Ted Cruz!
I have a 16mm print if you want to explore possibilities with it.
How can I explain what's going on with Nelvana that would be more palatable to American readers? Oh, I got it. Think Hanna-Barbera circa 2001 when WB owned the library, characters, franchises, & licenses, but they're not making or developing new projects in-house with them. That's Nelvana.
Using Gatorade to water plants because “it has electrolytes” is actually not as dumb as ending childhood vaccine mandates. One is dumb while the other is maliciously stupid, willfully negligent and harms kids. We are officially dumber than Idiocracy. #Brawndo
To show what kind of a miracle @scottsaslow.bsky.social pulled off, the left is the crude art I did multiple Xerox passes on to create for a homemade audio cassette of the whole film, versus what he did with it on the right. [One more Xerox would've rendered the stolen Paramount bits a white match]
So that's what's up.
Folks, a party iffy on protecting completely innocent and ordinary immigrants and transgender people is not going to go out of its way to defend the human rights of accused drug traffickers. We're talking about people who lack the moral courage of the average Pomeranian. Don't know what to tell you.
I both agree with this 100 percent and I read this in Jeff Foxworthy’s voice.
A Florida court detained a US Citizen for being an "illegal immigrant." He showed the court proof of citizenship. The court agreed—& held him anyway. I criticized the ruling online & a Florida judge responded by trying to strip me of my law license. I fought back www.qasimrashid.com/p/a-florida-...
Sharing again - really wanting to get momentum over at Ghost since I made the switch. It was important for me to get off of Substack & I'm waiting for things to close up over there soon. Shares/subs (free & paid) are greatly appreciated - cheers y'all! 🖤💀

"Christian Osborne has been itching to serve his country since he was discharged from the Marines after refusing the coronavirus vaccine." And there it is, ICE in a nutshell: Guy who couldn't follow orders and was kicked out of the Marines longs to wear a mask, carry a gun & round up brown people
Just wait until the public really starts understanding how much they’ve been lied to about the severity/urgency of climate breakdown by outlets like the Times. This vandalism will seem like Christmas decorations.

Really important to call this exactly what it is - the mainstreaming of a really nasty strain of blood-and-soil nationalism with its closest analogues and likely source among the white supremacist movement.
It's a cross-promotional event.

RIP Graham Greene (1952-2025) a towering figure in Canadian cinema. Honoured to have had a part in bringing this masterpiece back to home video, theatres and streaming for a whole new audience.
Another good example of why aligning any pro-housing agenda with a pro-police one is always going to be counterproductive in the long run.
wow! more kids dying because of the government. just a reminder to anybody living in the hell that is south carolina, don’t call the suicide hotline unless you want to be dragged off to the police station and then hospital. similar policy, similar results. making it impossible to get help.
there's no longer a plausible argument for ignorance. republicans know where sexual abuse of minors comes from and are actively working at every level of government to protect abusers. conservatives would rather be allowed to beat their kids than have a functioning society.
Ugh. Great. Fantastic. apnews.com/article/pent...
Every person who cares about the decline of our city and wants to see an end to the vicious cycle of political corruption and constituent rage should read this powerful document. It might be the most important thing written about LA politics this century. esotouric.substack.com/georgeesparza
Dem candidates: let’s fight fascism! Dems in office: let’s appease, compromise with, cater to fascists. Dem voters aren’t calling for “common ground.” electorate doesn’t want bipartisanship; they want the things Dem politicians >claim< to value in campaign promises. The bait and switch is BRUTAL.
You don’t find “common ground” with fascists. You build power to defeat them. This is the main reason why I believe fascism at the Federal level in the US will last generations.
Everything about Jeffries says he's just trying to secure his spot at a consulting firm that will pay him millions a year for the rest of his life.
I really need an outfit to pay me to do a deep-dive investigation into/oral history of the mystery new wave song that plays during the VIDEODROME trailer. Supposedly a Canadian band called Narfcore, despite there never being a record of this band existing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pphN...

The best quote I’ve ever seen about this is that every Democratic leader of the 21st century is ideally suited by temperament and mindset to be in congress in 1995 debating the v-chip.

Western values indeed.
Is sending up fighter jets to respond to a press conference by your dead best friend's sex trafficking victims considered weird or not weird these days. I've lost track.
Hey remember that episode from Its Always Sunny this season where they focus group a dinner because they have no idea how they're coming across to an audience? Just bringing that up now for no reason.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Rock On Nelvana. You made some amazing, weird stuff. The Devil and Daniel Mouse and Rock N Rule alone are a great legacy and I wish you could have made more projects like them. Thanks for the after-school cartoon memories. youtu.be/RwRbvpwpgN4?...
Hearing Nelvana is closing as a casualty of its parent company hemorrhaging money sucks so bad, so many long-standing totems of pop culture just being sacrificed at the altar of capitalism
I don't know anyone named Gary and I want you to shut up.
LAPD continues to assault pro-immigrant protesters while Bass fundraisers off of her “opposition” to Trump 🤔
Congrats on your regime propaganda, ABC News.
This admin is going to hide the stroke from the public for as long as possible, because if they have to 25th his ass and have JD take office, the free ride of unobstructed fascism comes to an end. They're going to Weekend at Bernies this motherfucker to the midterms.
ANNOUNCEMENT AT 2PM

Thrilled to be bringing back the Cincinnati Psychotronic Film Festival for the fourth year in a row at the @esquiretheatre.com! Very proud of this year’s lineup, lot of real mind melters here, can’t wait to unleash them on an audience! September 25-27!
What this good piece illustrates – journalism's near-total disinterest in Trump's health and mental state – really shows us something about elite Dems' unwillingness to do perpetual or underhanded campaigning. The press took their cue to dig in on Biden and Clinton from coordinated GOP attacks.
