Jordan, a spooky guy 🎃 @fishtree.co · Jan 21

Some days be like

A graphic of two white men, the one on the left is crouching in a defensive stance, hands up; the one on the right is approaching with a knife in his hand. The defensive man is labeled "Me trying not to eat a bunch of cheese" and the knife man is labelled "A bunch of cheese."

#16 Murders in the Rue Morgue, featuring a great Lugosi performance and a great ape performance. boxd.it/bnkgcx

A ★★★★ review of Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932)

#15 Invaders from Mars (1953), an interesting idea executed in a very boring way. boxd.it/bnh85x

A ★★★ review of Invaders from Mars (1953)

10 minutes of interesting movie followed by an hour of repetitive shots of people and martians running around in tunnels (plus explosions) followed by "it was all a dream... or was it?" Meh.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

A ★★★½ review of Day of the Animals (1977)

A group of highly unpleasant people square off a mountain full of radiated animals in the original When Animals Attack. Also a shirtless Leslie Nielsen wrestles a bear. Very effective thriller with so...

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.
