With WAKE UP DEAD MAN, Johnson has crafted his best KNIVES OUT script yet—a sermon disguised as a whodunit. Unfolding in a space defined by faith is a story about belief; that slippery, treacherous thing that binds people and breaks them. My review: www.peliplat.com/en/article/1... #FilmSky

It’s hard to believe that ZOOTOPIA came out 9 years ago. The sequel had a lot to live up to, but ZOOTOPIA 2 brings bold ambition, matching the heart and complexity, and diving into an even sharper, more charged mystery. A sequel done right. My review: www.peliplat.com/en/article/1... #FilmSky

Capturing the beauty of TRAIN DREAMS in words was a challenge that took a few days to even draft out. There are films that surround you, breathe, whisper, & carry you someplace both familiar & lost. TRAIN DREAMS is one of those films. It’s breathtaking. #FilmSky www.peliplat.com/en/article/1...

Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.

KEEPER is not the best of Osgood Perkins but it’s an unsettling fairytale tucked inside a rustic cabin where romance curdles. Maslany gives a great performance as she questions everything around her. The creature designs are inspired nightmare-fuel. It feels like a dark lullaby. #FilmSky

Quick public reminder: if I die and you see anyone do anything involving me and AI, I would be eternally grateful if you firebombed them into oblivion and then salted the earth to make sure nothing grows there again.

Hey maybe don’t be shitty to a small outlet for hyperbole in the current state of our industry. There’s other things to worry about.

When I started writing 8 years ago, I would have killed for any kind of exposure. I wrote for small publications & built up my work & opportunities slowly. Seeing young critics get more exposure now & get hated on for it is so upsetting considering we need more writing & voices now than ever

Meanwhile, on twitter, did you know that Mary Shelley never could have written Frankenstein (which is about magnets as you know) because her boyfriend was really into magnets?
In fact, when you think about it, that's why women in general don't write great literature (chicks aren't into magnets).

Currently addicted to TALES OF THE SHIRE. I know it got shit reviews but I’m really enjoying wandering around the village, doing missions and other activities like fishing and cooking. Also decorating my hobbit house! It can be repetitive but it’s giving me what I want from a cozy game

This is a lovely and beautiful review of FRANKENSTEIN. “Frankenstein is a masterwork of gothic beauty and despair. It’s a creation worthy of its creator.”
Del Toro’s adaptation is not only one of the most faithful to Shelley’s text, but also one of the most emotionally devastating retellings ever to grace the screen. My review of FRANKENSTEIN: www.peliplat.com/en/article/1... #FilmSky
