it's not found footage! and also, according to like everyone, it's terrible.

tonight's double feature theme is spooky ladies wearing too much fabric

the poster for THE WOMAN IN THE YARD, in which a woman in a yard is draped in black, and the poster for the remake of SUSPIRIA, in which a woman sits in puddled fabric and draped in shadow

there’s a lot of stuff i liked about ALIEN EARTH but the gigantic stick in the spokes for me is by the last episode, literally no one is afraid of the xenomorph. it’s just reduced to being a weird dude.

titles are important to get right. consider how much more menacing HELL HOUSE LLC is compared to HELL HOUSE, A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION

pretty much, though i dunno if that final 3rd would be as wtf without the trudge of the first hour to make you drop your guard

after an hour of watching THE HOME — Pete Davidson's horror movie about a spooky retirement home — I'd kinda given up on things. 10 minutes later it pivoted to become louder, dumber, and absolutely nuts. the rare time a movie pulls it out in the 4th quarter like this. recommended.

anytime someone says “it’s here to stay” about some new garbage tech like NFTs or AI, that basically means “i’ve already sank money into this and need it to stay long enough to make that money back”

chewing sticks is the dog version of putting a jigsaw puzzle together but instead they’re handed a finished puzzle and have to tear it into individual pieces

waiting for my drink as a guy who looks like a greasier Henchman 21 enters the coffeeshop wearing a JUST CHATGPT IT t-shirt and i’m trying not to let this contribute to a “leaving the house was a mistake” mindset

you never see dudes who are really into nunchucks putting bumper stickers on their car about how much they love owning nunchucks

last night at the bar i heard a dude explaining that 28 DAYS LATER is his favorite movie ever. not horror movie, or zombie movie, but favorite movie, period. i left pretty quickly after that because my mind was racing with unasked for follow-up questions that would've prolly come off as offensive.

Christopher Sebela @xtop.bsky.social · 10d

it's that time of year once again where i sit down to watch yet another V/H/S sequel and hope it doesn't completely shit the bed even though the odds remain aggressively not in my favor
