Frankenhooker (1990)
What makes a movie become a true film? Frank Henenlotter knows, and he puts it on screen.

"I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend."

More comfort games on a smowy Tuesday 🌨️

Today I'm playing the best 2D Mario game.

I cannot wait to watch this! America’s Next Top Model is such a core memory for my elder Millennial brain.

Local police declared unlawful assembly and alleged the protestors caused property damage and threw objects at officers, triggering the arrests.
