I finally launched my site for reviewing the wild, weird, and underappreciated corners of genre film. Horror, sci-fi, cult gems—you know, the good stuff. Come rage, laugh, and obsess with me.

I saw Altered States at 13, and it rewired my puritanical Catholic brain. On the Criterion 4K Blu-ray, Cronenweth's cinematography pops, and Corigliano's score sets your soul on fire. The ape-man scene hits just as hard 45 years later.

Review of ‘Altered States’ (1980) ★★★★½

I was 13 when I first saw Altered States, and it blew my prepubescent mind. I'd already seen Animal House and Dawn of the Dead, so sex and horror weren't exactly new things to me. But Ken Russell's…

I keep telling myself nothing @realdonaldtrump can do will surprise me, and then he does this. Have you seen the Fall Out TV series? It's essentially radiated surface dwellers vs. MAGA oligarchs in high-end vaults. Back in 2022, I thought it was a fantasy—not anymore. zurl.co/ZIh7q

cow tools daily @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social · 3d

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

Review of ‘Good Boy’ (2025) ★★★

Let's get this out of the way first: Indy, the star of Good Boy, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, is adorably fantastic. His scream-bark is not. I was even considering the breed as I'm in the…

Just rewatched Weapons. Amy Madigan is fantastic! Oh yeah I like her I need more heat Stupid zurl.co/bVycL

Give Amy Madigan an Oscar for Weapons. Why Not?

Madigan deftly navigates the film’s wild tonal shifts, giving us the scariest and silliest horror-movie villain in years. Why not award her for it?

I just don’t see how MAGA people can call themselves Christian. They embody none of Christianity, not for a moment.

@RealGDT's Pan's Labyrinth hits very differently when you're in a country (U.S. for me) sliding at lightspeed into fascist authoritarianism. Ofelia's fairy tale helps her survive fascist horror. GDT's fairy tale did the same for me.

A ★★★★★ review of Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

Like most fresh rewatches of beloved movies in 4K OLED, watching Pan's Labyrinth was a mind-blowing, eye-opening experience. This time around, two things hit me like a ton of bricks: how Del Toro weaves fairy tale and fascist horror without letting either dominate the other, and how much more urgent Captain Vidal's brutal authoritarianism feels now that the U.S. is barreling toward a similar nightmare on a high-speed train. The story is three fairy tale quests that mirror the rot happening around Ofelia. She crawls inside a dying tree to get a key; Spain under fascism is sick and festering,
