"No Kings" protest looks impressive but why did you vote for T***p in the first place? Why didn't you get Harris elected instead? Not getting it. Seems like closing the barn doors after the horses have bolted! #FAFO #FFS #YouAskedForIt

Inevitably. Obviously this would be a lucrative market. Expect the other major players to follow suit. #AIerotica

Alexandre Aja's Mirrors (2008) is peak B-horror. The plot is "demons live in mirrors" nonsense, but Kiefer Sutherland sells his breakdown with commitment. Watch it for the truly wild gore (if that's your bag). Reflecting (I went there) on that twist ending, it's pretty thin. #Horror #MirrorsMovie

Rosemary's Baby is the ultimate gaslighting film. The terror isn't the Antichrist, it's Rosemary, while left alone, humming a lullaby to the devil's child. Victim, or willing participant? Polanski gave us no easy answers, and that's the genius. 👶😈

Still reeling from Hereditary. That movie isn't about ghosts; it's about the pure, soul-crushing cruelty of a predetermined fate. The Graham family were just pawns in Ellen's diabolical plot. The 70s/80s slow-burn vibe makes the inevitability so much worse. Top tier horror cinema.

🤯 South Park S28E1 "Twisted Christian" is PURE GENIUS! A savage takedown of the insane right-wing Evangelical movement. Peter Thiel hunting the Antichrist, Cartman possessed, & brutal satire of Trump/JD Vance. Laughing & gasping at America's chaos. MUST WATCH. #SouthPark #Satire #TwistedChristian

Park Chan-wook’s NO OTHER CHOICE is the essential black comedy for absurd times. A laid-off man kills his competition for a job. I felt the desperation, having been retrenched myself. A masterful, hilarious takedown of corporate cruelty. 🔪 Opens in SG Oct 23. #NoOtherChoice #ParkChanWook #KMovie

Forbes reports that the final cost for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was a stunning $593.7 million. The film is now the third most expensive movie ever made, with a slim theatrical profit of just under $50 million despite its $1 billion box office. #StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker

#TheLowdown S1E5 took a detour with Peter Dinklage as Lee's "worst enemy," Wendell. The actors' chemistry serving up a messy, grief-fueled reunion that was both hilarious and heartbreaking. The plot thickens as Wendell helps Lee get a lead on the conspiracy. That final scene? Utter chaos. #TVReview

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

"Amari" was a rollercoaster! #TheMorningShow put its characters through the emotional wringer. Loved the focus on Chris Hunter and Mia Jordan's powerful arcs. And that Cory/Bradley confrontation? Peak TV. So riveting. #AppleTVPlus #TVReview #Amari

Alien is an all-timer. 🚀 It nails the Lovecraftian cosmic dread while delivering a legit slasher horror experience. That chestburster scene is burned into our brains, and the Ash twist is a classic sci-fi move. Plus, the corporate greed theme? Still hits hard. 💯 #Alien #SciFi #Horror #CosmicHorror
