Stanley Kubrick uses fine art as a filter to stylize a bygone era in Barry Lyndon, now out in a new @criterion.bsky.social 4K. Glenn Erickson of CineSavant notes that star Ryan O’Neal comes through with exactly the performance Kubrick wanted.

Click on the link to read a very kind review of the second John Lash adventure, written by me.
Um, I wrote the book, I mean. Not the review.

I’m excited to share that I’ve spent the last couple weeks remastering my films into 4K, DRM-FREE digital versions for the Digital 9-Movie 4K Pack in my CASTELLUM OF BLOOD campaign.

This is the best these movies have ever looked and you can download them, own them forever, and watch them anywhere.

The same people who cannot control a city of 400,000 are manifestly incapable of cancelling a midterm or ending the peaceful transition of power. Keep reminding yourself that you are a lot stronger than they are.

If you are interested in knowing about edgy obscure stuff before it goes mainstream and feeling superior to uncool normies, you should take that energy to music or movies or fashion or whatever because any politics worth pursuing is necessarily earnest, inclusive, and deeply, fundamentally uncool.
We need everyone we can get in this fight against a fascist takeover.

If your first instinct to someone being politically mobilized by all this is to give them a sneering "well, what took you so long?" you don't actually care about our winning this; you just want to be able to say you were right.

@ignorethatdoor.bsky.social — it's been a bit since we've done A Thing. If there are any 10-to-20-minute* Lovecraft / Poe / &c. stories you're inclined toward, let me know.

(*: in type-speak, these'd be between 1400 and 3000 words; but I am flexible.)

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

The Adams Family are among the most unique voices in horror. I'll watch anything they do, and MOTHER OF FLIES, which drops on @shudder.com today, is their best yet. My review for VV.
