Bloody rebirth, a celebration of life and a fantasy achieved. It’s the Unloved.
“RED SONJA (2025) is smarter and more openhearted than its cinematic inspirations, and it is a film of personal reflection and reinvention. It’s this director’s best work, for all it shows of the joy of becoming oneself,” says @honorszombie.bsky.social for this month’s Unloved installment.

Forgot to mention: the episode for this month with @meredithnudo.blacksky.app, @honorszombie.bsky.social, and @emmettmoon.bsky.social was recorded last night. For this episode, we talked about Dogville, Pirate Jenny, and "Brechtian animation."

We're planning to release it in the 2nd half of Nov.

He made dozens of movies I haven't seen so a full obit from me would be incomplete and America-centric, but I loved Tchéky Karyo. He was one of the first actors by whom I was mesmerized. That peculiar stillness in Goldeneye, the slick villain in Bad Boys, the tough but warm mentor in La Femme Nikita

He should legally have to disclose how much they paid for this. It’s not at all because any answer would be super embarrassing it’s just good politics to let us know how much you spent on this desperate and laughless farrago
Cuomo keeps embarrassing himself with AI slop ads.

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

NEWS: The Trump admin's decision to suspend SNAP benefits due to the shutdown has been blocked. In two cases, both judges found the government action is likely illegal. Although a judge in Mass gave the admin until Monday to reverse course, a judge in Rhode Island issued a TRO from the bench today.
BREAKING: Federal judge rules that the Trump administration likely illegally suspended SNAP benefits, ruling that at least reduced distribution is required to go forward under law using the $6 billion reserve fund.

Judge gives the Trump admin until Monday to respond as to whether it will act.

And, of course, you can watch all six hours of his glorious La Commune (Paris, 1871) (2000), if you want to be hardcore. I think it's worth it!

Oh goddamn Peter Watkins. There is no other filmmaker like him, no one who saw the world the way he did, no one who saw film the way he did. He tried to keep us honest and he wasn’t afraid to scare us. We needed to be scared of what we were tacitly agreeing to. It didn’t work.
