Where Sinners fits in the Black vampire movie canon
5 critical entries in the Black vampire movie canon and where to watch them
www.polygon.com
I've written sporadically on the internet before on and off throughout the years, but I'm very happy to debut my new piece via @polygon.com in which I dive into the brief cinematic history of the Black Vampire. If you liked SINNERs, then this is for you.

I get to talk about the Predator series with The Boys. Feels like coming home and then some. I even get to talk about [REDACTED].
Enjoy. One of my favorite episodes I've recorded.

You know the funniest thing? I never once got the BADLANDS trailer these last six or so months.
Think any of the films it was attached to I just didn't see. Or was extremely unlucky.

"I think, therefore you are."
The closest Carpenter ever came to doing full blown noir. Funny that last week his status as a "great director" was being litigated when in one of his best films, he takes the piss out of himself, his work, and still gets under the skin.

Of all the things that have continually surprised me is the fact that while no one has pulled the trigger on a single player PREDATOR game (which is still shocking and also should very much happen), no one on Steam has made their knock-off version either.

I still think about this with every new bit I see from Predator: Badlands.
Just a bunch of embarrassed, surly dudes over-compensating for their hair loss with new, fancy hunting gear.
“Who cares if Amy left me for ..ugh Dan & his full head of tendrils? Check out my new laser-guided shoulder gun!”

This is not my image but seeing them all lined up like this implies that all the predators we have seen leading up to “Predator: Badlands” have suffered from the alien equivalent of male pattern baldness.

Had the absolute pleasure of knocking off a first time watch in the theater last night with a 4K restoration of SHOWGIRLS (1995).
While there are many modes to view the film, I think the best version is where it acts as a satire and send up of the American Dream.
I loved it.
