I started Selling Sunset just to look at some pretty houses. Over the years, it became my guilty pleasure and comfort show during my highly hectic academic life. To watch Chrishell’s journey through self-acceptance and love has been lovely. This show started off as her story, it should end as that

A girl is fighting with her mum over the phone under my window. Loudly. Now I know everything about her. Can we go back to being a little self-conscious? Please

The first part of Picnic @ 50 will be hybrid, and features my keynote, followed by a bunch of colleagues (incl. @samtwyfordmoore.bsky.social and @tugcekutlu.bsky.social) dialing in remotely. If anyone's interested in tuning in to the hybrid bit, let me know, and I'll sling you the Google Meets link.

The online hate for Bella Ramsey is sickening. Isabela Merced looks nothing like the game Dina, but she is conventionally attractive. Pedro looks nothing like Joel but he is a man. Everyone is perfectly cast. The obvious problem here is patriarchy and toxic male fandom. Go touch some grass #TLOU

The Last of Us Ep 6 had me single tearing throughout. Once in a while, the show gives us such an episode that we forget all about the infected and the Apocalypse. Ep 6 is that, just like Bill and Frank’s episode. At that moment, it’s only ever about love #TLOU

Now watching Stage Fright (2014). This is the definition of camp, absolutely enjoying it

The new bedside lamp was a terrible idea, because what the actual hell?

#FinalDestinationBloodlines had me holding back tears with that Tony Todd goodbye speech. Like I am here to enjoy brutal deaths, why are you making me sad?

Oh I have something ready. I love this!

So ep 4 of The Last of Us. When Dina told her side of the story, I immediately remembered the previous episode and how she told Ellie that the reason Jesse is not happy may be Dina herself. I love the writing on this show #tlou

What’s a movie you think nobody but you and a handful of people have heard of, that you think is a fantastic film?

The Sentinel (1977)

Thank you!
An insightful online talk by @miskatonicihs.bsky.social the reasons why mourning in horror cinema may have risen in the last two decades.

Many thanks to lecturer @tugcekutlu.bsky.social for this wonderful talk.

I love The Hallow, had fun writing this. I hope you’ll enjoy! @nighttidemag.bsky.social
It's First Friday over at #NightTideMag, which means our resident grief guru @tugcekutlu.bsky.social has another Grief Horror dissection for you in 2015's The Hallow, where a grieving family learns that some wounds run deeper than the forest floor. 👻📽️

WHEN GRIEF GROWS TEETH: HOW THE HALLOW TREATS NATURE AND LOSS
In The Hallow (2015), grief seeps through the soil as a young family confronts the haunting cost of intrusion, loss, and nature’s unforgiving wrath.

I don’t think we give The Last of Us theme enough credit. Santaolalla just nailed it #tlou
