Ugh, the damn rock is here to stay.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

If you find an indie film you love on Tubi, do this;

- Turn the film on again. Even if you’re not paying attention to the screen, you’ll double the ad money being paid to the filmmaker.

- Go leave a review on Letterboxd.

- Recommend it to a friend and ask them to watch it.

What in poo-perfect hell is this?
Chico Marx walks into Groucho’s office at Spyglass. “Okay boss, remember when-a you told us to figure out a way to top the bad press? I did it!”

Groucho: “You dummy, I said find a way to STOP the bad press.”

Chico: “Uh oh…”

I’m touched to be pull quoted in this trailer for #THEFORBIDDENCITY, hitting Digital 3/17 from Well Go USA. This is a special film I will remember after many other titles fade. “Soaring and incomparable” is how I still feel it plays, & I highly recommend prioritizing this one. youtu.be/E02CbJ9dCQY

It is films like this that make me so glad I started doing Midnight Movie Madness in the first place.
After the surprising EXTRANEOUS MATTER (COMPLETE EDITION), I'm going into more Japanese horror tales. Hearing lots of praise for this short film, I've chosen it for Midnight Movie Madness.

Was surprised how many people noticed the abundance of influencers WB invited to the WUTHERING HEIGHTS premiere. I used that to talk about influencers as celebrities, their lack of transparency on the pay for play model, and trying to be "honest" in their reviews.

After MAI-CHAN'S DAILY LIFE, I think I'm gonna hold off on the torture stuff for a while 'cos they ain't up to snuff. Anyway, I'm diving back into the work of Ken'ichi Ugana for Midnight Movie Madness.
