I won't lie - I was pretty good at being terrible.

Many years ago I made a decent living being the "bad example" in industrial training films. Here I am in "Safety Is No Mystery," a film noir tale about on-site construction safety, showing the world how not to use a nail gun.

I'm really curious about this upcoming summer.

The world is very difficult right now, there’s no getting around it. I will just offer that every time I see one of your Fangoria videos, it brightens my day. So thank you for mustering up a few camera-ready moments. Also, taking to one’s bed is an underrated activity.

Thank you @jlalibs.com for pushing me to write abt something other than a horror movie for your zine This Is CinΓ©matographe. I go to bat for MAKING LOVE, seminal queer cinema, unfairly aligned over the years. Happy to be a small part of @vinsyn.bsky.social @cine-matographe.bsky.social

Thanks to Daylight Savings time,

I was bummed not to make it - I was already spoken for - sadly to see Scream 7 which in the aftermath makes me REALLY bummed to have missed it. But Happy Birthday again!

I love Scream, Scream 2, Scream 3
I enjoy Scream 5, Scream 6
I do not enjoy Scream 4
I'm insulted by Scream 7

The benefit of my weed delivery side hustle gig is time in the car to catch up on my friends' podcasts!

As does your writing!

And to your point, the fact that I searched my brain for a second film, & had to go way back to Blink Twice (ZoΓ« Kravitz) and Candyman (Nia DaCosta again!) and could honestly not recall any others is dereliction of duty on my part. This thread and some internet research will be my new watch list :)

You know how when you eat at a restaurant and the meal isn’t good because it wasn’t prepared well, and you talk to the manager and they give you free dessert to make up for it?

SCREAM 7 owes me free dessert.

I’m seeing Scream 7 tonight, and The Bride tomorrow! Tell me how I should feel about them! (without spoilers, of course)

I hadn’t either, but it just popped into my head last night so I checked this morning. I don’t normally chase that stuff, but I had some writing that I’m really proud of last year.

Well fuuuuuk. I missed the Rondo nominations by a day. I had an article I wanted to put up this year. Booooo.

Can't believe no one has mentioned this in this thread:

HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT.

Genius. (And inspired several other Parking Lot docs...)
