Doing my October thread of a horror movie I like a day again! Not much thought beyond “you should watch this”. Enjoy!

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

It’s been said but it bears repeating: in addition to the people being abducted, all Chicagoans are being psychologically terrorized. Seeing feds driving/walking around and videos of violent attacks in places you know and love will fuck you up. Get ready, it’s coming to all of America soon.

They haven’t won convincingly since week 1 and didn’t win the last two, losing and tying two genuinely bad teams. I think there are big issues in GB.

Also teams always get a boost from a new QB. Just excited by the new.

A constant honor to work with you, sir. Unlikely I’m here without where you were. I always say Ebert’s yearbooks that I got for Xmas every year were the biggest influence but ‘80s/‘90s Premiere likely second.

Eric, so sorry to hear this. All my love.

There are so many bad horror movies I’ve enjoyed watching just because you can tell everyone involved is doing it for the love of the art, AI is not capable of that

Bright Wall/Dark Room @bwdr.bsky.social · 3d

One thing AI is good for is reminding people how even the very worst movie they’ve ever seen is better than AI “movies”

"Many of you who covered me ... were salivating at the thought that Eric would go to jail for 33 years. So don't start asking me about what I think about [Letitia James]: I want to know, what did y'all think about when my life was destroyed in this city. And I wish I had a mic so I can drop it."

Really the same thing: You can’t say the game is played one way all year and then switch it.

Like it’s either part of the strategy of the game now or it’s not. Make up your damn minds.

Lotta casual fans wondering why there wasn’t a guy in second for the last few hours which allows me to restate my belief that you shouldn’t have one rule for 162 games that just goes away after that because you’re still unsure about it

Hard to swallow as a Tigers fan but one of the best games I’ve seen in my 50 years. My kid said like an hour ago that it was a game he’d never forget. Baseball history. Also my fave ALCS matchup in years.

I just said honestly to a question asked by my son about something earlier, “I don’t remember anything before this game.”

The primetime sports ball for the next four nights goes Detroit/Chicago/Detroit/Chicago like the simulation is working extra hard to keep me happy.

The Last Frontier is a remarkably dumb show. And not in a fun way. www.avclub.com/the-last-fro...

Thriller The Last Frontier is far more silly than chilly
