de Toth’s House Of Wax is such a fun watch that you just have to admire how Collet-Serra’s ‘05 remake not only re-applied this films concept into more of a ‘00s teen slasher, but did it so effectively.
Vincent Price is excellent in this and the atmosphere is so fitting for spooky season.

Holy shit, gang. This isn't the first time Scott & I have had the number one movie, but it is the first time we've done it with OUR movie and not the Marvel machine. BP1 never got higher than 4th place. This is huge for us & we owe every last bit of it to you. THANK YOU!

Black Phone 2 is out in theaters, and yes! That really is Ethan Hawke beneath the mask and prosthetics.

When Republicans talk about the “radical left”, they’re referring to anyone who wants the US to have the same social safety net that every other wealthy democracy has. Universal healthcare, living wage, affordable college etc may be the norm in Australia, the UK, Canada, but in the US it’s “radical”

My thoughts on Jennifer Kaytin Robinson's I Know What You Did Last Summer, its ties to the original film and how the re-quel's story dives into shared trauma between two generations.

So I've got SINNERS & THE BRUTALIST as my two favorite films of the year but I feel like if I rewatched some other releases that could change depending on the day.
FREAKY TALES, MICKEY 17, THUNDERBOLTS*, DANGEROUS ANIMALS & BRING HER BACK were all excellent and MATERIALISTS might be in there too.

everything from its premise, it’s brutality, the message of the film, Skarsgard and Hopkins are great in this, a HEALTH TRACK IN THE END CREDITS?
LOCKED was a damn good thriller, can’t wait to catch this again.

Other kids called Trachtenberg a bitch, but in our group of child stars, we all wanted to be like her.

Caught Mark Anthony Green’s OPUS!
An unsettling tale that doesn’t shy away from some gore and disturbing imagery and it’s a fun time in bits. Rodgers & The-Dream’s soundtrack was cool.

Heading to SXSW on Friday for the premier of Sweetness. This movie is amazing (think Misery meets Jawbreaker). But what i'd love to know for my bluesky friends is... any great Austin food recs?

If you’re starting out as a screenwriter, my advice is to stretch this “dreaming” phase out as long as possible. Let the movie appear in your head before you try to transcribe it to the cold and clinical computer screen. And have fun diving into research - it ALWAYS results in something interesting.

I’m writing something new and I’m excited. I’m in my favourite phase which is the “before the writing” phase. Filling up a notebook with ideas, doing interviews and basically just staring out the window doing the thing that I got in trouble for in high school - “day dreaming”. This is the fun part.
