"It's a home invasion film from Leatherface's point of view" Film Critic @horrornonna.com on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in CHAIN REACTIONS.

What CHAIN REACTIONS at home now: buff.ly/9aSdCtG

I’ve built nothing but narratives recently, so why not try the TERRIFIER clown brick set ? (cheers for that, Umbrella Entertainment 🤡)

Doing overtime somehow fits with the conveyor belt of SECONDS.

My absolute pleasure. This is a film that’s best-served cold 👏👏👏

My love for SECONDS only grows, Jez. I also re-read our book – very proud of what we achieved.

PODCAST ALERT
Mike Muncer of The Evolution of Horror podcast kindly allowed me to bang on about one of my favourite subjects, the film known as SECONDS (1966).
Listen. Learn (maybe). Love (Mike, definitely - he's a mensch).

Feeling great sadness – and surprise – at the news of Diane Keaton's death. My admiration for her only grew after doing a deep-dive into LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR for the Cinemaniacs screening in July. Looks like my ambition to share a meal and a glass of wine with her will never come to fruition 😭

The jury's out. I'm hopeful but I'm just letting it simmer in my mind.

What is the value of Meanjin? We’ve done some calculations – and it’s not about money

This boxset of epic horniness arrived today: DANZA MACABRA Vol. 4 from @severinfilms.bsky.social. An Italian gothic collection, with @sallychristie.bsky.social and I getting witchy about BABA YAGA. Looking forward to consuming the other extras, incl. @horrornonna.com’s titty essay 💃🏻

Couldn't make it to the Cinemaniacs screening of LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR? You're in luck – here's my intro! Cue up your @vinsyn.bsky.social copy of the film, roll my presentation and you're set 📽️

You listened to the whole thing? Forsooth!

I think Ferrara mostly comes out at night. Mostly.

Heard? Close to my 'heart' 💔

Thanks for everything, David Stratton — a giant of the Australian film scene. Fierce proponent of cinema and anti-censorship (a subject close to my heard). Author of the best best-titled autobiography, I PEED ON FELLINI. Time to watch his favourite film, SINGING IN THE RAIN ☔ #ripdavidstratton

Drop everything. Don’t read or watch anything further. Get thee to a cinema.

The deep fake was impressive

When it comes to insults, nobody—and I mean, nobody—does them like former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating...

Yes, I saw them at The Forum, which is a fave venue of mine, and one that they worked so well. The energy was electric.
