Trans rights are human rights and evil politicians cannot “executive order” people out of existence.

re: today's horror movie discourse, I will simply say: if someone claims their art "isn't political," you don't really have to take them seriously ever again. that's all!

I know you enjoy Terrifier but Damien is an ass, guys
The opposition to fascism and white supremacy should be clear and concise.

Taking a neutral position in that fight is the same as saying you are accepting of them, which is shameful and cowardly.

The loss of David Lynch for the film world is so colossal we couldn't do justice with a single piece. So we'll be celebrating his work for the next fortnight. First, @daveyjenkins.bsky.social & @summerray.bsky.social on Eraserhead lwlies.com/articles/era...
Eraserhead and the Lady in the Radiator
In our tribute to the works and worlds of David Lynch, David Jenkins reflects on his most spiritual film.

Sometimes a Nazi salute is just a Nazi salute. Given that a longtime Nazi did it, no need to overthink that. For fuck’s sake.

I can’t think of anything more appropriate for this moment of shared grief over the loss of David Lynch than his Log Lady introductions. Catherine Coulson said it best: “One day, the sadness will end.”

There are so few words, man. A boundless source of curiosity & imagination. Has any artist influenced me more? I had planned to revisit Lynch’s work this year, viewing it through a new lens of grief, and now his passing casts a shadow over that too. A true life of art.

Read this extremely harrowing piece yesterday (massive TWs for rape and abuse) and tuning in for a Channel 4 three-parter on Marilyn Manson tonight. Teenage idols be gone!

Feel so deeply ashamed each time the groomer compliments me on the quality of the dog’s coat and his grooming routine when the key is that I simply…..don’t groom him

Stoker’s Dracula will always have a special place in my heart, and #Nosferatu was exactly the kind of lavish nightmare I had hoped for. Perhaps a little safer than I expected, but there’s no denying the precision of Eggers’ vision!
December 6, 2024 at 7:55 PM
(Delayed post due to lurgy…) It was such a treat to attend the London premiere of #Nosferatu with @mikemuncer.bsky.social this week ⚰️ Eggers’ most accessible film to date; steeped in gothic beauty and psychosexual trauma. Lily-Rose Depp was a pleasant surprise!

Hats off to the girl behind me at #nosferatu who said there ‘wasn’t enough exposition or character motivation’ for her to understand it
