One of my extremely conservative friends got laid off recently and is applying for unemployment and got mad at me when I told him he canโt apply because thatโs socialism and he hates that ๐

The Spielberg movie had a problematic lead who people were boycotting; the Ridley movie was a 3-hour rape drama that didnt appeal to people; the Del Toro movie wasnโt promoted anywhereโฆthere are some pretty logical reasons as to why these movies failed. Also, still a pandemic.
Genuinely cool to see that two of the biggest movies of the year have trans characters that are just accepted for who they are and nothing about them being trans is ever brought up once. They simply exist as they are. ๐

If you read the full context of the quote sheโs literally just explaining how sheโs a trained singer but harley isnโt, so she ignored a lot of her classical training to better play as harley. Respect it a lot
GODZILLA MINUS ONE is a stunning achievement in Japanese cinema that had me in literal tears at the end. A gripping, fierce, horrific and heartfelt mediation on survivor's guilt and trauma. It has what is potentially the greatest sound mix I've ever heard in Dolby Cinema.

. It's like it was made just for me. Super creepy mystery box storytelling that has its first season streaming for free on the Roku channel / new episodes airing weekly on MGM+. I'm completely in love with it. A solid 9/10!

Because itโs a teaser. This trend of trailers giving the whole movie away is annoying and im glad most people dont know the full plot
Yaโll MULTIPLE TIMES I tried to warn people about Freydis Moon and their behavior and every single time I was dogpiled, bashed, harassed, etc.
Turns out theyโre a mentally ill white person whoโs been posing as a black author with 5+ different online personas?!
@HitFactoryPod
Okay but having actually seen the full movie, this scene is an imagined sequence entirely in Margot Robbieโs head and is a snippet of a much longer scene that clearly shows the layout. Why are we dissecting bootleg snippets like this so pedantically

A lot of young folks do though. They stayed home. Anselโs accusations went viral on tik tok, soโฆI feel like youโre ironically saying this from your own little twitter bubble lol.
I swear some publishers out here are like โsend us your best horror stories!โ & then you send in a slasher & theyโre like โactually murder is illegal. We dont want to glorify that. Also your lead ate dinner & some people have eating disorders, please show respect. Rejected.โ
Iโm about two seconds away from just starting my own literary horror podcast. Iโm trained in interviews, have tons of sound editing / mixing experience, and it would be cool to boost some people up. Especially since so many podcasters are being weirdos lately

Maybe it's just me, but announcing a new Stephen King limited edition on the same day you unceremoniously dump a ton of contracted finished books is just....extremely poor taste.
Excuse me richard but have you seen the housing market??? Why do you assume I can relate to a book where someone has a house with a CELLAR?? SOME OF US RENT APTS, RICHARD. So insensitive. -50/5 stars

She's rightfully getting shit for this because her team's response was an ignorant "well that wasn't taylor alone, she also loans her jet out to family and friends." As if that made it ok.
Recently finished a horror book that everyone and their mother on here praised up and down and gave all the awards to and instead it was genuinely one of the worst wide releases iโve ever read?! I genuinely feel like I read an unedited first draft of a book. Yaโll TRIPPIN
Have you seen the cliffhanger at the end of this book??? Rage inducing and I just donโt like feeling any kind of discomfort in my literature. How DARE you Brian. -10000000/5 stars
"I'm judging people who stay silent on JD Barker"
Listen, I got 32 4th graders on my roster & am going back to college. I had no idea what the Barker thing was even about. I don't have to comment on everything. This is a super weird line to make? Silence is not always complicity
Ari Aster gets a ton of hate because he makes films that challenge people. His films are uncomfortable and morally murky. A lot of horror fans only want stuff like Scream 6 or M3GAN and donโt want to be challenged in any way, hence all the recent Ari hate.

Taylor's private jet was reported to be the biggest polluter in a researched poll of the top 1% polluters. Her jet took 170+ flights in six months because she and her friends and family fly SO MUCH. Her jet released 8000+ tons of carbon in under a year.
I've never seen producers shoot themselves in the foot this way before smh Scream 7 is as good as dead now that Christopher Landon quit too. Anyways, justice for Melissa Barrera
Watching the community come together to protect Ramsey Campbell from trolls has been cool to see, since it certainly didnt happen last year when a noted name trashed and insulted him and everyone stayed quiet lol. At least weโre doing better at protecting our grandmasters now
#M3GAN
is honestly a blast. The 95% seems insane until you sit in a crowded theater & see the genuine laughs this gets. At one point M3gan starts singing Siaโs โTitaniumโ to a little girl as a bedtime lullaby & itโs so loveably weird and random that the entire theater cracked up
I have never been a plastic doll and I also do not live in Barbieland, so BARBIE (2023) didnโt work for me. Which is to say, itโs a film that makes zero outreach to its audience. Viewers who have been plastic dolls will adore it. Everyone else will find it less than useless

premiere. They left hundreds of fans waiting outside in the rain for hours, only let in 8 people, and then told everyone else to go home. They somehow miscalculated tickets by the HUNDREDS. I was 10th in line ๐
It's always really cool when cool people defend each other. The horror lit community is a lot of things but we all protect our own. To all the people the last few days who've dm'd or texted a laugh about this, thank you. You're all real ones and I can't tag u all!
COURT UPDATE:
All I will say is that im gonna post the court transcripts as soon as I can cause I am DYING LAUGHING. The judge yelled at my racist neighbors, chewed them out, and dismissed every allegation they made at me. They tried ARGUING W THE JUDGE.

โฆdo people still not understand that an actorโs current salary is based on their resume + agent negotiation and not the current part itself lol. Will is a much bigger name than America so he gets paid more, thats it
@AmosPosner
Butโฆwhy that response? Is a female Thor that jarring to people or was she just exclaiming a general โall these movies are superhero sequelsโ? Iโm struggling to understand how a short teaser for a cool-looking movie gets that reaction lol
Honestly really glad to see Tremblay speak publicly on the credit controversy today and confirm what Iโve been saying for months now: that it always was a WGA / contract issue. The amount of writers I saw wrongfully insulting a minority director over this remains insaneโฆ
You mean to tell me the dude raised a ton of free money for his wife with a sob story all while openly sending creepy messages to multiple women in the industry?! Ugh that is wack behavior. Always wary of people who use their platform to ask for money bc it often goes like this
The current HWA:
-refuses to actually denounce AI
-refuses to help authors affected by the Darklit issue
-refuses to denounce a publisher actively slandering HWA members
-refuses to make stokercon prices any kind of affordable / realistic for people who cant book a year ahead

โYouโre sexist if you poke fun at Millie Bobbie Brownโs bookโ
No. Not everything is sexist. Writers are allowed to be annoyed by her book. Go outside.
So if I said that I had a Dino Horror novella with LGBT leads, with cover art already paid for by one of the best cover artists working today, with multiple interior illustrations and a bunch of blurbs already attached, would any indie pubs be interested at taking a look?
Watching that guy raise $5k sobbing about how him and his wife were close to homelessness all while he was bragging about going to Stokercon was how I knew he was full of bs lol. Trust your gut w grifts like that

The man with a mask is an assistant coming to pull shawn and camila away to another area, so you can see the photographers getting pissed bc neither shawn nor camila turned around and gave their section good pics. These freelance photographers sell good pics for $$$
Professional editor here: it's disrespectful to your audience to NOT edit an intermission into your film if it's pushing 4 hours with trailers. I want to enjoy a nice refreshing beverage or two at my theatrical experience without missing a single second of the film!!

no one is running a "smear campaign" on Neve. it's just ironic that she's all "female solidarity" until she can get paid.
Tom Monteleone absolutely losing it this week on facebook in several rants about โDEI nonsenseโ (diversity, equity, inclusion) whilst publicly wondering why people arenโt submitting to his anthology saddens me. Manโs a horror legend but heโs slipping into racist rhetoric often.
