...okay, i haven't watched anything of STRANGER THINGS since the second season so I'm a little baffled how it ended up "shootout with a giant boss monster from the RESISTENCE games while the psychic girl superhero fights a Tyrant from RESIDENT EVIL."

Tried to upload to Patreon a little while back but it refused. 😔

Watched dumb Stranger Things finale. Couldn't stop cackling "wiki-wiki-wild" because of giant wasteland spider. Synced one beat to the action and watched IN HORROR as it continued to match PERFECTLY.

I AM COMPELLED TO SHARE THE PAIN.

Much like how older millennials didn’t have YA novels so they had to jump from Babysitter’s Club to Stephen King’s It. Older Millennials also didn’t have access to Shounen, so 15 year old you sat on the floor of the manga section at the Boarders reading Blade of the Immortal and Crying Freeman

okay reading up on the history Rawhead and Bloody Bones and seeing its transformation from a demon to a water monster to two separate creatures using the two names to a pig monster raised up by conjure woman to get revenge. Yeah, definitely using the witch with the big scary pig version in something

I haven't see anyone sharing the video here, so here's the clip of the gorgeous werewolf float from Imperatriz Leopoldinense's Ney Matogrosso tribute parade.

I do think there’s a certain type of Democrat that realizes it’s possible we are dealing with a perfect storm where almost any Democrat will win, and are terrified we might nominate radical candidates who will actually engage in needed change instead of status quo corporate centrist bullshit.
One of the interesting things this time around is just how hollow the whole thing sounds. In the past, people have been able to use the empty concept of electability to anoint and position the person they demanded, but now that Republicans are getting obliterated everywhere, that doesn't work.
If I were a Democrat concerned about winning elections and was hearing that a significant number of voters wouldn’t support Gavin Newsom in 2028, I would simply stop pushing Gavin Newsom in 2026.

You know, we're probably at the point where Homer is born *after* the date the Simpson's premiered by now.

one of the million story idea rattling around in my head was one where a vaguely conan-ish hero somehow gets swept up in a ritualistic hunt used to train young warriors in this totally not the Spartans society and he's so disgusted by it he decides to turn the tables and go first blood on 'em.

Just remembered that I covered a Duvall SXSW talk back in the day in which he talked about this specifically, and gave some other insights on acting (sorry about all the missing photos) www.flavorwire.com/444965/talk-...

Too damn many performances to narrow down to one but, too attempt, I do have a soft spot for SECONDHAND LIONS, a better than it probably has a right to be family flick where Duvall and Michael Caine play a pair of retired adventurers.

I really don't think you can understate Fessenden's impact on genre filmmaking. Be it as writer/director or producer, he's involved in some amazing work. And if a film features him in a cameo, it's an added bonus.
I wrote about Larry Fessenden's WENDIGO, and its many threaded ideas of aboriginal horror, coming-of-age and societal collapse,
