Before you start to argue about the word’s other meanings…..please look at your arms and reconcile with the fact that you may not be an expert on anti-Black terms….

Hey horror community, we need to have a talk... It's time to collectively drop the use of "spook" and "spooky". Here's why. Article by @sharai.bsky.social #horrorsky
Remove Spook From Your Vocabulary Today
It’s officially Halloween season, and a great time to remind everyone that the word “spook” is a slur. Like many words and phrases in the English language, racists did what they do best and ruined it....

My longtime theory for THE BEAR is each season depicts a stage of grief.
S1 - Denial
S2 - Anger
S3 - Bargaining
S4 - Depression
S5 - ???
(Note: grief stages aren’t linear & we cycle through them which only makes the cyclical nature of maintaining a restaurant an even more potent idea.)

The only complete success is NOPE, which is of course concerned with different things and structurally quite distinct, which is the best way to pay homage
Jaws had hundreds of imitators but none of them, including its own sequels, feel like Jaws. That’s why it’s the good stuff.

Ok hear me out… what if John Wick 5 is the Constantine sequel we didn’t know we needed??? Dante-themed set pieces. Devil’s Advocate callbacks. Connie Nielsen can punch someone again. Charlize is an Old Guard of hell. Let’s fight John’s way back to the mortal realm

This is a very on-brand must-know/must-see pop culture byte for me.
It was brought to my attention by @fluxblog.bsky.social that John Mulaney did an extended riff on the Butterball Cenobite from "the first two Hellraiser films" (specified as such), leading an excited Richard Kind to yell "He's in the Order of the Gash! He's a demon to some & an angel to others!"

hard to believe that our public institutions are suddenly behaving in a manner that many many people have been warning is the logical endpoint of a capitalist government for a hundred years

Since the current administration wants to use DEI to peddle racism, let’s remember that white women benefited the most from those programs. And once again, they overwhelming voted against themselves.
