Oh yeah, I remember that stinker. The actors must have all needed to pay rent or something.
TUBI watch - The House Where Evil Dwells (1982) features an American family who move into a Japanese home haunted by randy samurai era ghosts - who either want to f them or kill them, or both! Endearingly bad, and sometimes laugh out loud funny. #mutantfam #horrorfam #moviesky #horrorsky

There's a Universal channel over on Pluto TV if you can handle the copious commercials
Chaney Jr & Costello promo shot for 1948's A&C Meet Frankenstein. Emile LaVigne had taken over spfx makeup duties from Jack Pierce. Lou himself would sit in the monster makeup chair five years later for A&C Meet Dr Jekyll ... or at least some of the time, when his stuntman wasn't sitting in for him.

Attempting to end protections for people fleeing conflict just days before expiration wasn’t about safety or law—it was cruelty. The judge made the right call.
A federal judge in Boston on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary deportation protections for migrants from South Sudan, a move to halt any deportations that came a week before the migrants’ status was set to expire.
Federal Judge Blocks Deportations of South Sudanese Migrants

It sounds great in theory, but unless Trump's pardons are revoked retroactively, it may be hard to charge the criminals in his administration who have been aiding and abetting him. Also, some may be hard to find as they may flee to countries with no extradition.

Wake Up, Dead Man acts as a really good live action Where's Waldo (or Where's Wally if you're correct) because I swear they promoted Andrew Scott was in the movie but I've watched it and rewatched it and I swear to you he's not in the movie anywhere.

If her concern were really about the victims, names in The Epstein Files would be said out loud — on the House floor.

The movie was fantastic (watched it for the third time Saturday night) and Lindo was phenomenal!
Delroy Lindo is on a long list of actors long overdue for an Oscar nomination. He might finally break that ceiling with his role in Sinners. We caught up to talk about Ryan Coogler's "brilliant" epic, and, as always, he has some keen observations to share

Horror directors do tend to be big horror nerds so I hope so! No commentary on the Blu-ray unfortunately & Zach Cregger isn't taking my calls
Just watched Weapons. Like all good horror, comes with comedy moments. Excellent story telling, lets the viewer work it all out without clunkingly obvious plot devices.

Me not calling them gulls and calling them what I have for decades is further proof I'm not a proper birder!
I've spent most of my 6+ decades living somewhat close to saltwater and even worked in Alaska on fishing boats in my late teens. Point being, I've seen eight zillion Seagulls in my life but up until June of this year I never saw a baby and I saw lots of them! #PismoBeach #Birds #Nature #Photography
