“(Heyman) says no timeline has been set on when the first feature in the relaunched franchise will be made or released – ‘Denis [Villeneuve] is still filming Dune [3],’ he notes of the director who has been given the keys – or when the seventh actor to portray 007 will be cast and revealed.”

Joseph H. Lewis’ essential noir GUN CRAZY (1950) is on MOVIES! TV Network tonight at 10:30pm ET (and 3 other times this month).

Don’t sleep on MOVIES. It’s got lots of noir and it's available free, over the air in 85% of the US (and also on live TV streamers like Frndly TV).

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

…a conceit which Curtis brought to DRACULA first while cribbing from himself in his 1973 adaptation starring Jack Palance. It’s pretty grand, really: Barnabas was directly inspired by Dracula…and, in turn, Dracula lore was culturally altered because of Barnabas. Vampires beget vampires.
I haven’t seen Besson’s DRACULA, but it’s so wild how “Mina is the reincarnation of Dracula’s bride” has become part of the accepted lore. None of this is from the book; he’s directly pulling from Coppola’s 1992 film, which was cribbing from DARK SHADOWS (and maybe THE MUMMY), as was FRIGHT NIGHT 🤣

Certain scenes and communities come with a certain amount of useless tree stumps that you’re just expected to deal with and endure, just because “well, they’ve always been here.” Nearly eight years into this gig, I feel like I’ve done enough of that.

Christoph Waltz is in Guillermo del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN and Luc Besson’s DRACULA. Please put him in Radio Silence’s THE MUMMY and Robert Eggers’ WÊRWÜLF

Facial prosthesis, c.1917. THREAD for #RemembranceSunday🧵

From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. /1

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Either people are getting worse at expressing themselves or I am getting worse at parsing any sort of context from a statement. Or a third, more terrible option: language is evolving in a way with which I can’t keep up.
