Couldn't get my review completed yesterday, so I'm on Day 2 of writing and 1300 words deep.

I pray for @entityflux.bsky.social on editing this one, but I'm putting all I can into it.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

13 Slamdance Film Festival 2026 films to prioritize. 50 Meters, Brailed It, BRB, Clovers, Danny Is My Boyfriend, The Key, The LeMieurs, The Old Man and the Parrot, Snowland, The Tallest Dwarf, Three Colors: Pan-African, Whisperings of the Moon, You Look...

My coverage got interrupted this year when I had to go to the ER and then recover after. Had hoped to include a couple other films, but, if you missed anything I did cover, here's where you can find them. #Slamdance2026

Mumblecore dramedy “Danny Is My Boyfriend” encapsulates the quixotic nature of heartbreak. [Slamdance] Danny Is My Boyfriend, Mechi Lakatos, Lucy Sandler, Brooke Smith, drama, comedy, Slamdance Film Festival, film festival,

Final #Slamdance Review:
Shot with only an outline so as to encourage improvisation and being in the moment, Lakatos and Sandler are mesmerizing as two betrayed women whose entire identities are shattered and whose concepts of justice veer into the absurd in DANNY IS MY BOYFRIEND. #filmsky

Totally get that. I took a rare night off to go. I did screener no. 6. tonight.

Will keep an eye out for your coverage!

If you haven’t seen it yet, I won’t say but it’s had me thinking of a connection that cannot be coincidence.

Was glad I saw this *before* THE BRIDE.

The original is pretty great (saw it last year) and Lee playing the same part is fantastic…my hesitation is on who play the other two roles.

I’ll be sure to look for it. 🤘

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project

"THE TRUTH WE CAN'T TELL EACH OTHER IS THAT GRIEF IS A MUTATION. WHEN YOU LOSE SOMEONE, YOU WILL BEAR THIS WOUND FOREVER. YOU WILL BE MOURNING UNTIL THE END OF YOUR DAYS. IT CHANGES YOUR STATE OF BEING IN THE WORLD." - JULIA DUCOURNAU -

I know a lot of you think editing a horror magazine is all fun and games, but sometimes you’ll just be proofreading an article by a top-notch interviewer like @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social and get smacked in the face with a quote that will stay with you forever.

Fuckery afoot in Virginia.

Co-directors Jacob Hatley and Tom Vickers cinema verité doc “Clovers” explores the notion of self-determinism within the citizens of Asheboro, NC.

During #Slamdance2026, I had the chance to screen the new Jacob Hatley and Tom Vickers doc CLOVERS.

It follows three different Asheboro, N.C., people as their lives intersect socially and personally, their choices carrying with them a powerful sadness brought upon by a self-made inevitability.

Hahaha Heard good things about that one. This one, less so, but I’m curious. Hope you fair well! 🤘

Glad I took my migraine abortive beforehand ‘cause one scene was HARSH.

Time to see what all the hub-bub’s about. #TheBrideMovie

I don’t know anything about #FThisMovieFest, but the bits I’ve seen people talking about - solid choices.

I love THE REPLACEMENTS, especially. We quote it frequently in this house.

This is positively tempting.
