Always nice to see some stars trickling in for THE CULT IN MY GARAGE on Goodreads

Talking about one of my favorite Scorsese's films, LIFE LESSONS, on a new episode of Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time. This gem was unfairly ignored by the 5 part MR. SCORSESE series so we show it some genuine love on the pod. Listen/watch here: linktr.ee/dibym

Poster for Who Invited them, showing the silhouettes of a man's and a woman's heads, their faces replaces with the windows of a midcentury house and people partying inside

Has Kate Bosworth been good in anything? I've apparently seen few of her films and she's been mediocre at best in all of them. That said, I think her performance in this film is the fault of the script.

Who Invited Them did a much better job as a dialogue-heavy horror chamber-piece, in my opinion.

Great (and, alas, necessary) statement from the @wgawest.bsky.social and @wgaeast.bsky.social.

Compare and contrast with that of the DGA...

Kick your spooky season off right!

At Printers Row everyone asked what kind of books we publish. Weird ones. Mythic fables, nostalgic trips, dystopian futures, disco slashers with demons.

Weird enough you’ll wonder why you picked them up. And we’ll wonder why you didn’t put them down…

Damn, I wish this course was around BEFORE I started my novel. Looks like a real murderer's row of writers. Congratulations @bradlisti.bsky.social on this cool new school!

If you’re an immigrant with legal status who’s committed 0 crimes you can be sent to a torture prison where you’ll be raped and dehumanized.

If you’re old pals with Trump and ran a pedophile ring you get sent to a cushy minimum security prison despite being ineligible because you’re a sex offender.

I'm going to this. Are you?

So true. The gauntlet has been cast.

I whole-heartedly agree!

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000.

Children are starving to death.

Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people.

Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?
