A grim-faced Army man in a green hat and blue jacket with a white mask around his neck looks at men in green fatigues lined up in front of him
Tomorrow on Patreon: @jennferatu.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social tackle the penultimate episode of #chernobyl, as baby Barry Keoghan is pressed into clean-up duty.
C/W: repeated animal death
THE HAPPENING is *not* a good movie, but it *is* a funny film.
Naturally we had to have defender Lindsay Traves back to talk all about its terribleness.
Prepare to outrun the wind tomorrow!
That DAMIEN TV show was ooooof
@tracedthurman.bsky.social and I struggled with how same-y this feels to so many other recent texts.
Not bad, but not distinct either.
I call this “male Erin Brockovich” because it feels so similar, which is maybe doing the film a disservice, but 🤷♂️
Highly readable, but not good.
The book is page turning slop.
The movie is action porn with a cardboard lead.
That doesn’t have to be a bad thing 🤷♂️
I delayed programming this for a while because I knew Brenna would hate it, but the time is now…
Tomorrow on the Main Feed: Jenn and Joe continue whistleblower month with the underseen 2019 Todd Haynes vehicle, DARK WATERS
Over the weekend I checked out writer/director Felipe Vargas’s new Tubi original HIVE and had a good time with it!
Hit up @bloody-disgusting.com for my review 👇
This show is trying to kill us…and we’re welcome!
A few years removed (and with the HBO doc under my belt), I enjoyed this a little more on a rewatch.
@sharai.bsky.social and I are back and boy are we excited for the town’s new addition!
Who’s ready for #from? It’s been 15 months!!!
Tim Curry in The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Tim Curry in Clue
Tim Curry in The Three Musketeers
Tim Curry in Muppet Treasure Island
Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.
That’s a good one!
This is a curiousity.
More Tuesday…
On THE MUMMY 🧻
"A cobbled together zombie-project" - @jacksonweaver.bsky.social
"crosses a boundary you didn’t know you had" - Thom Ernst
"decent gore and really squelchy sound design" - @joelipsett.bsky.social
torontofilmcritics.com/features/tfc...
We are indeed! New episodes on Monday
Expect to hear A LOT about S04 of #from because it’s the best damn horror show on TV.
New episodes kick off Sunday and I’ve got a refresher on @bloody-disgusting.com to get you ready (after a 15 month break!)
Mārama is out in theaters today! @conrad-esq.bsky.social and I talked about the film out of TIFF, how it uses genre to confront colonialism, and that powerhouse lead performance
Welp, at least @tracedthurman.bsky.social finally got to check out 2017’s THE MUMMY
“Despite some decent gore and really squelchy sound design, the writer/director is just remaking his own EVIL DEAD RISE (to lesser effect).”
Sorry to say, but LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY is a big disappointment.
#ThePitt finale offers both cathartic closure and uncertainty in equal measure, which is to say it’s the perfect encapsulation of what makes the show so addictive.
It’s the penultimate episode of HBO Max’s #ThePitt and the series once again turns out another WTF cliffhanger.
So excited for this one. The book is exceptional
Lol
