You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses?

People
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

This is not an adaptation of #WutheringHeights, but the result of what happens when you're playing an approximation of "Wuthering Heights" without a full grasp on the material but all the money in the world to bring your questionable imagination to life.

Emerald Fennell's adaptation (and we use that term very loosely) of Wuthering Heights is both breathtaking and perplexing. Here’s our review.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

I'm really glad that my wife's latest hyperfixation (boats/ships) joined forces with her evergreen love of hating Nazis to bring this movie to The Matts™.
Do we need exploitation cinema to remind us of half-forgotten, real-life horrors? That’s the big question in this week’s episode with @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social, who joins the podcast to talk about ghost Nazis and DEATH SHIP.

Harmony Colangelo joins Certified Forgotten to discuss Alvin Rakoff's 'Death Ship,' a Nazi-sploitation feature with surprisingly sharp teeth.

Claiming “just don’t use AI is a luxury position" is one of the most ludicrous things I've ever read on this site, because no defense of AI as a tool for democratization changes the fact that data centers are destroying low-income areas. Where's your class solidarity now?

The tech giants are jostling to win the AI race. But their data centers are hugely energy-hungry, and that means polluting frontline Black and Brown communities. We demand a better way forward.

I love, love, LOVE #Pillion and the way it has no interest in sensationalizing BDSM to shock normies. Some thoughts on the film now that it's available to see in theaters.

Pillion is charming, romantic, and emotionally restrained, rejecting moral panic and the shallow belief that explicitness is the only route to honesty.

I spoke with Harrison Browne about his plans for a feature, the impact of #HeatedRivalry on the visibility of both his activism and his creative endeavors, and how PINK LIGHT sidesteps the usual tropes of trans cinema to become the perfect story for the moment.

I've got a piece coming out tomorrow about how WHISTLE sets the bar for best kill of 2026 and it's going to be a tough one to beat!!
My buddies Corin and Owen have a new movie out this week and if you're one of my horror loving homies: THIS. MOVIE. IS. FUCKING. FOR. YOU.

It is a Final Destination type whose-gonna-die-next cursed object movie that goes hard and is hella fucking fun. So many great, gory kills. See it big & loud!

I love it when I'm interviewing someone and they can tell I'm asking a question rooted in experience, so instead of talking to me like they have to educate, they immediately use "we're" or "people like us" in their answer. 🥰🥰🥰

Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for my PILLION interviews.

Not to mention the fact the algorithm punishes us if we're not deemed hot enough!!!
One thing about the enormous pressure journalists are under to make videos and TikToks and do streams that kills me is that, like… some of us are meant to be read and not seen. Commenters get SO MAD about the way I look whenever my face breaches containment! Just let me write!

I love this episode even if I spent half of it screaming about how people learned nothing from LeVar Burton's Disney Channel masterpiece!!!

(If you didn't already know, LeVar Burton directed SMART HOUSE. You're welcome.)
NEW EP: SMART HOUSE (1999) w/ Ross Benes

One of the best DCOMs ever made, it's time to have an existential crisis about how many people have completely ignored the dangers of letting a supercomputer control every aspect of your life!

If you ignore the source material, Emerald Fennell's #WutheringHeights is a sight to behold. Luscious visuals and fantastic performances (especially Alison Oliver) provide a sensual, cinematic feast, but if you're familiar with Brontë's novel, you may be yearning for more.

In a room full of critics for a screening and I’ve already heard one person say they turned off SINNERS after 20 mins and another dismiss HEATED RIVALRY for looking “nasty.” I am in hell.

And before you ask, yes they are.

Off to see Wuthering Heights, even though the perfect adaptation already exists.
