“JESSICA!”… “Let’s Scare Jessica to Death” is a hazy, haunting descent into madness. It’s not just eerie— it whispers to you, with blood-chilling, ASMR-esque voices that crawl into your ears and stay there. Dreamlike, devastating, and criminally underseen. Emily is hot, too.

“Noroi” isn’t the scariest film I’ve seen, but its creeping dread stuck with me. It’s deeply unsettling, brilliantly layered, and seriously underrated. The buildup is slow, the payoff chilling— and some scenes are genuinely triggering. Found footage fans, tread carefully, but don’t miss it.

Obsessed with “Lair of the White Worm”— its gloriously unhinged camp, Amanda Donohoe’s wicked sensuality, Hugh Grant’s smug charm, and Peter Capaldi slaying serpents with bagpipes? Pure cult brilliance. Amazing entry from Ken Russell (also of “Tommy” and “The Devils” brilliance).

You hear that, fired Veterans, Veterans left without care, and those who can’t afford groceries because of Trump? Don’t be a PANICAN. He thinks you’re “weak and stupid.”

Rewatched “The Fog” (1980): third time’s the charm. A ghost story sans haunted house— w/ extremely corporeal vengeful spirits; non-traditional haunting w/ atmosphere, a touch of slasher, iconic cast, & synth. Starts w/ an E.A. Poe quote & climaxes w/ Coleridge; now that’s cinema for lit snobs.

🚨 NEW: VoteVets is launching a six-figure ad blitz across TV, streaming, digital, and billboards—exposing GOP Veterans dodging constituents while Musk’s DOGE fires thousands of Veterans.

They promised to fight for Veterans—now they’re silent. Stop Elon’s war on Veterans. Demand Congress act!

My trivia for the morning: the director of the 1985 music video for A-Ha’s song “Take On Me” also directed “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” (1990) #themoreyouknow

When I was still teaching, people told me that I was overqualified and, like most teachers, overworked and underpaid. Now that I am a terminated federal employee, people tell me that the mass terminations are a good thing, because us federal employees were underqualified, underworked, and overpaid.

I was also made to scrub “DEI” from course materials before being terminated… it was a mad dash, like the very existence of the agency hinged upon being able to Ctrl+F for “diversity” and decimating it before midnight. The psychological warfare against feds started well before the firings.
Clark and others at the Army Corps were instructed to go through social media posts to scrub DEI: words and ideals “that I have been taught my whole entire career were important and is what the Navy and made our country stronger.”

And then she was fired...

I am begging congressmen (*cough* Democrats) to use the only leverage they have and make the impending shutdown worthwhile. This is a war of attrition; please take a stand and be prepared for it to get ugly— for the greater good.

What fresh hell is this? I remember a time with conservatism was supposedly synonymous with patriotism and supporting our vets
House Republicans’ shutdown bill slashes billions from VA healthcare, hurting Veterans suffering from toxic exposure, burn pits, and Agent Orange.

Watched Argento’s “Opera” (1987) again last night—often called his last great film. That ending though… yikes. But it hits different if you see it as a bookend to “Deep Red”: from a girl torturing lizards to a woman freeing one, rejecting her mother’s sadism. A full-circle moment? Thoughts?

Made the best venison meatballs; having leftovers for lunch. If you’re sleeping on wild game, you’re missing out.
My secret for tender, juicy, but low carb -ish meatballs is a whole minced onion, & crushed chicharrones in lieu of breadcrumbs; what’s yours?

An absolutely insane little gem. Like most Raimi films, not for the weak/prone to motion sickness. Shoutout to the brilliant Larry Drake as our antagonist—elevates everything he’s in. See: “Dark Night of the Scarecrow” and “Dr. Giggles”

Decided that every time I stumble across some obj. bizarre trivia, going to document it here. I watched the 1977 “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh”, & noticed Clint Howard (yes, of “Evilspeak” & “Ice Cream Man” fame) was credited. Which character did he bring to life? Why little Roo!

Thank you, @votevets.org for elevating my voice!
Trump and Musk are gutting our government, firing dedicated public servants to consolidate power.

Air Force Veteran Aileen Reneau had 'exceeds expectations' reviews before being unjustly terminated.

This is a political purge, and it’s just the beginning. This isn't normal. This isn't okay.
