There will be teeth. There will be worlds. There will be us. There will be more.
Really feeling the last words of this short story I just finished (the first draft of). I may lose 'em or change 'em in the rewrite process, but for now...these are hitting.
The Addiction 4K
#recentlywatched 3) The Addiction: more Ferrara. B&W: gorgeous, well shot Acting: esp. Walken in his cameo and Lili Taylor who is beautiful and badass+ weird & wonderful, but the vampirism as drugs metaphor felt wayyyy too heavy-handed, especially w/ the resolution.
Body Snatchers
#recentlywatched 2) Body Snatchers, Abel Ferrara riffing on the Finney tale but with helicopter-launched missile explosions.
#recentlywatched 1) The Resurrected: An enjoyable enough noir-y riff on The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Also Chris Sarandon is an underrated horror villain.
Not a week of my life goes by that I don’t think about this stupid ad jingle from the 90s…
And the accompanying commercial is pure gold.
Daylight? In my savings? In this economy???

Well there’s sure a lot of shit going on in the world now. But at JUST the 1 store I was signing at for this event (Once Upon a Crime) we raised an unofficial estimate of ~$5K+ for the Immigrant Law Center of MN & the Women’s Foundation of MN Immigrant Rapid Response Fund.
Love you, Minnesota. ❤️❤️❤️
Obsession with proper procedure rather than morality is the rot in the heart of liberalism. They don’t care about deportations or bombing schools as long as the protocol is followed. They are incapable of resisting fascism because their objections are about the decorum.

#bookmail Thanks to Pascale Potvin for sending me a copy of her fantastic horror collection Demondust (which I blurbed). The last story in this collection is genuinely one of the most upsetting/unsettling pieces I’ve read in years (complimentary).
Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it
