Don't you hate it when you think you just found a shoe, but you actually found a foot?

Fun Fact: Every found footage movie eventually arrives at what is called the “Donahue Point¹,” after which all remaining dialogue will be shrieked or shouted.

Anyway, I'm re-watching EVIDENCE (2012) next, because it's cheaper than MAN FINDS TAPE (thanks, streaming channel name of @plex.tv!), although I'll probably cave and pay the $5 or whatever for it after this, because what a triple-feature, right?

Also: Ever wonder what it would be like if a @slimyswampghost.bsky.social illustration of some wretched, gaunt beast were to leap off the page to eat your face? Well, something's wrong with you, fun fact, but there's a couple scenes to satisfy your curiosity *and* let you keep your face!
#BODYCAM

Whoopty-smokin’-*snork*, what a ride! #BODYCAM would make for a mighty dang’d fine found-footage pairing with 2012’s EVIDENCE (Dir: Howie Askins; WriPro: Ryan McCoy), the theme being "Things are normal, then they get a little weird, then they get a lot weird, then HOLY SHIT WHAT THE EFFING FUCK!?!?"

My beloved Fdot has unexpectedly declared that now is the time in the Lair when we watch @shudder.com original BODYCAM, and since he doesn't normally pipe up and say things like, "Hey let's watch a movie you've been wanting to watch," I'm setting aside my trochar and settling down for scares!

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

How the 'Fox News Cabinet' Helped Jumpstart Trump's Iran War Sean Hannity mounted a full-court press, urging Trump to attack Iran. Plus, another veteran CBS News journalist says goodbye to Bari Weiss, and is Jake Tapper already pandering to David Ellison?

I haven't eaten at @chilis.bsky.social in a while...and now I'll never eat there again until everyone in the decision-chain for this is fired, and apologies and restitution are made.
I hope everyone who cares about human rights sees this. Trans rights are human rights, goddamn it.

Iran Has Been an Imminent Threat to the U.S. for Forty-Seven Years “The threats posed by Iran to the United States, while potentially serious, weren’t imminent. So Trump and his officials have redefined ‘imminent’ ...

"Some will say that a 47-year-old threat doesn’t sound so imminent and that I don’t know what the word even means, and don’t really understand how language works. To them I say: photosynthesis. Followed by: This is not the time for linguistic nitpicking."

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

If I Could Believe That - The Birdcage (1996) | Bright Wall/Dark Room In The Birdcage, jokes aren't simply clever bits of wordplay, but rather a continual give and take. This is the May touch—no one ever fully wins an argument; instead, it’s a constant battle for the la...

Happy 30th to The Birdcage, too! (words by @franhoepfner.bsky.social)

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Setting the scene: on the left is Arrow Video's special edition of Pupi Avati's dread-laden giallo THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS. On the right, Gretchen Felker-Martin's BLACK FLAME, a novel about a cursed film. Between them stands Pinguina Vercotti, a penguin rocking a trenchcoat and fedora, topped off with angular sunglasses. Commentary follows. So it's come to this. A humble fact rat, a simple soul who merely hungers to read everything ever written, went humbly forward like the humble questing vole (except it's for facts instead of dirt), and got a little ahead of himself, letting his To Be Read pile number in the low triple digits. Big deal, right? Well, apparently not? Pinguina Vercotti, whom I assume is being paid by a certain beloved otter who shall remain nameless—*for now*—and has repeatedly complained about something or other, I wasn't listening, anyway I guess I need to finish one of these two tonight or there will be “consequences.” Fine, whatever, you know it's rude to wear sunglasses indoors, fun fact.

UPDATE CONTINUES! Hey, remember how my assorted TBR piles were metastasizing out of control? And did you notice how I Amazoned more stuff just recently anyway? Well, someone noticed for sure, and Pinguina Vercotti says I gotta finish off a new arrival tonight or there will be... trouble.

UPDATE! A few days ago, a grateful customer tipped me via Amazon gift card, and while I'm right-dang’d boycotting Targét, I'm only kinda pissed at Amazon, and they already got the dough, might as well get cool shit, right? Thusly did I reassure myself, and thusly did I today receive bounty! <cont’d>

A gentle reminder that a film I wrote will be out this year. (This reminder is more for me than for you as everything... takes... forever.)

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Oh my sweet Lordi, did I seriously type “heroin”? Obviously I meant “heroine,” and anyone who tells you otherwise is a vicious liar, and someday you will regret not having murdered them on the spot, the spot they were on when they lied. Unless there were witnesses, then you just have to wait.
