I haven't shut up about this movie and now it's playing at @siffnews.bsky.social.

And Darcy has said that after those four specials, she and Joe Bob are through at Shudder. Here's hoping they land somewhere else pronto.

A simple German woodcutting from 1490 showing a Renaissance dude on the right who is having a lower back spasm so bad his right shoe was blown clean off. On the left is a witch (“eine Hexe") with a bow and arrow who just shot him in the back. (Otherwise, why would his back hurt? Hexenschuss!) The engraving is credited to Johann Zainer as was taken from the book “Tractatus von den bösen weibern, die man hexen nennt,” or “Treatise on evil women, who are called witches,“ by Ulrich Molitor.

The Czech word for lower back pain or lumbago is hexenšus, which is borrowed from a German word, Hexenschuss.
The first time I heard it I was like, “Oh, like a witch just shot you in the back? That’s what you think happened?”
Dear reader, at one point, that’s exactly what they thought.

Some great writing from Todd Farmer. Heartbreaking, then inspirational, a call for empathy in a world that doesn't always seem capable of it. And now I'm excited to check out his novels, too!

Last night I dreamed I was in a coffee shop talking with David Lynch about Johnny Carson's line of menswear. I hate when the week peaks on Monday.

If ever there was a weekend to see Wong Kar Wai's IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2000) in 4K on the big screen, this was it. Sometimes you need to wallow in beauty. And others felt the same way, judging by the packed house at @siffnews.bsky.social .

I have posted

Had my own Olympics closing ceremonies by eating half a bag of Milano cookies in the back of a Ford Cortina.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.
