A year ago today, a bunch of horror readers celebrated #SGJDay to honor Stephen Graham Jones' 30 years as a published author and the reissue of 6 classic out-of-print @sgj.bsky.social books. We even made commemorative pins 😄
Well, 2025 has turned out to be even BIGGER for Stephen and his readers!

Overwhelmed by this film. Great fun, a sterling mystery, the peerless Benoit Blanc, and a beautiful heart driving this story. Go see WAKE UP DEAD MAN. And thank you, @rianjohnson.bsky.social, from the bottom of my heart.
Now seated for @rianjohnson.bsky.social’s WAKE UP DEAD MAN, at Nashville’s @belcourttheatre.bsky.social. The buzz for this film is chainsaw loud!

hot tip: if you're trying to figure out a holiday gift for a two year old, give them a box of Kleenex. there's nothing a kid that age loves more than removing all the tissues, one by one. (but you should also give them a board book! Dinosaur Surprise, or Each Peach Pear Plum, or one of Taro Gomi's)

When you say “Bond tropes,” people will think of
Sexy women
Drinks
International travel
Megalomaniacal villains
Etc. But the Bond trope that really resonates, which is baked into Fleming’s novels and seeps into almost every movie?
Death.
Let’s get into it. 🧵

Does any public figure express thankfulness better than Ethan Hawke? Maybe Dolly Parton. I'd love to see Ethan & Dolly in conversation.

I love @rianjohnson.bsky.social like a brother so I can't review WAKE UP DEAD MAN, but I can say it's my favorite thing of his that I've seen for its courage, transparency and absolute vulnerability. It's also smart, funny and surprisingly scary. Catch it in theaters with a crowd.

Deeply saddened to hear we've lost playwright Tom Stoppard. In 2011, I produced a staging of his brilliant play ARCADIA - the script is a towering work of genius. His plays are steeped in wit and warmth and humanness. There'll never be another like him. Godspeed, Sir Tom.

An experiment I recommend is putting your phone on silent on the other side of a room, or in a different room, from wherever you're watching a movie.
Each time you feel that twitch to check your phone? That's not the movie's fault. It's because they got you hooked and stole your attention span.

Oh my god. She's 1000% right. This makes so much sense.

Author Jeffery Ford's son Derek did this wild Humpty Dumpty painting 😮
Enlarge this to see it best.
All the Kings Men and All the King's Horses by Derek
On the FB Dredge today from long ago.
I love that the horses are rebuilding Dumpty to look like a horse and the men to look like a man.

We don't talk enough about HOUSE OF DARKNESS. Written & directed by playwright/filmmaker Neil LaBute. Kate Bosworth is subtle & bewitching, alongside Justin Long at the height of his powers. The end is set in stone from the opening shot, we're just watching it unfold. And the poster goes hard.

It's a crime that films like THE DARK AND THE WICKED didn't get a theatrical release. It's time to fix it!
@variety.com just announced @filmbot.bsky.social's “Lost Films of COVID” a run of 2020-21 movies that missed their shot at the big screen. I've harbored a pipe dream of creating the PandemiFest, a touring fest of horror films lost to COVID. Which films would I put on the cyclorama? Here's my top 20!
