🎉AND HERE IT IS!🎉

This year's ✨Wildlife Photographer of the Year✨ is won by Wim van den Heever's rather haunting image of a brown hyena emerging from the darkness in the abandoned mining town of Kolmanskop, Namibia! Just in time for spooky season 📸🧪🐕

A brown hyena with stripes on its legs stands at the bottom right corner of the picture, as an abandoned house towers in the background during the night.

48 hours makes a big difference & I'm very much in my feels about the whole thing. I'm just glad that, in the end, she wasn't hurting anymore. Her brow unfurrowed & her fur got soft again after she went. Now she's hanging with her best friend again. I hope they've been cleaning each other all day.

Used to do a guest lecture for the KCKCC video production class on what makes a music video stand out & showing "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" was always part of it. So simple, so effective, so brilliant. Just him & the song.

Go see THE FURIOUS if the opportunity occurs. It is emotionally-centered & brilliantly violent. My interview with director Kenji Tanigaki for @starburst.bsky.social. www.starburstmagazine.com/kenji-taniga...

No Wake is so well done. Until the chaos starts, I forgot I wasn't watching some random home video upload.

This won't stop until Harry Potter adults--and it is the adults--stop supporting this nonsense.

They made HP their entire personality and they'll need to find a new one. Hard, yes, but not impossible. There are plenty of fandoms that don't fund a known bigot.

oh no. no. absolutely the fuck not. fuck off.

a bullshit statement from Keira knightley saying she was not aware of a boycott against jk Rowling before taking a job on the new audio series and that she's "sorry" and "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together and we've all got very different opinions"
She can fuck off.

Today has not been great & tomorrow is going to be pretty awful, so if you were expecting anything from me, please understand it's very likely not happening.

This indigenous Canadian short film I saw last night as part of @kierlajanisse.bsky.social’s great All the Haunts Be Ours 2 folk horror box set (but apparently also available via YouTube?) would be an excellent thing to watch on Indigenous Peoples Day.

A review of Nalujuk Night (2021)

Interesting that it takes a short film (box set “extra”) to clarify this realization for me, especially considering that the subgenre has its roots in an early nonfiction work (Häxän), but I think a g...

I got death threats 20+ years ago for calling a band's gimmick "bullshit." He ain't special.

so, this weekend the great Dr. Demento did his final show. I could write a lot about the importance of his show to me & my friends when we were 12 and 13. there's more to it than "he played funny stuff" and "his show is where @alyankovic.bsky.social got his start." 1/3

I have an interview with the director coming soonish to @starburst.bsky.social. It was a DELIGHT.

Max Deering @odstspartan.bsky.social · 3d

There is no other way about it. This was elite. Kenji Tanigaki's kinetic direction combined with Kensuke Sonomura's rapid pace fight choreography makes for maybe the most thrilling action film of the year. The finale fight I can only describe as The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly...

Fourth film of Sitges. The one many of you have been waiting for.

Now Seated for Kenji Tanigaki's THE FURIOUS.

Comrades, I’m inclined to tell you a story from my organizing days. In 2018, I was one of hundred of union organizers who had the privilege to assist with a nine-day, statewide, unauthorized teachers’ strike to save their schools from a critical staffing shortage. Buckle up, it’s a good one. 1/x

When your friends tell you're in charge of movies at the annual Halloween party but don't wanna mess with trying to cast to someone else's TV.
