The Bride! Review - The Merri Hour YouTube video by Perri Nemiroff

I'm blessed to be surrounded by friends more talented than myself, like @dorina.bsky.social. Just out here dropping banger original songs to protest to. Give a listen, show some love. πŸ–€

Was a great experience but the food lacked one item: sticks. Really could have gone for a stick.

SHORESY is one of my favorite shows on air, so the fact that I got to meet the badass Tasya Teles (who plays Nat, the Bulldogs’ owner and GM) while watching some LA Kings hockey last night rules pretty hard. Sweater twins!

(@thatwitchmia.bsky.social is a good friend who takes candids.)

Oh my god thank you, absolutely gunning for one.

(@hauntedmeg.bsky.social texted me about this immediately because she knows what's important in life: adorable Yoshi swag.)

I want the Dodgeres Yoshi bobblehead giveaway so bad, but since it's opening weekend, the cheapest seats start at $120 for nosebleeds. Booooooo.

MONSTROUS MUSINGS
The Giant Conspiracy Happening Against YOU
By Phil Nobile Jr.
I work with a pretty cool and diverse spectrum of employers, staffers and freelancers. Folks of different genders, sexuality, races, backgrounds. I think we're all pretty aligned ethically, morally, and where human rights are concerned, but when it comes to movies, opinions, and pop culture tastes and takes, we're all over the place.
And that's great. Sure, I will shake my head at a co-worker's opinion on a movie from time to time. We might even debate our differing positions. It's fun! But I'm becoming increasingly aware that this kind of civil, respectful coexistence is giving way to a troubling, growing line of thinking I see in the world - and, more and more, in horror: "If you disagree with me, something is up." It's not even "you're wrong"; it's
"you're only pretending to have a different opinion than mine, which is the correct opinion."

Review: BODYCAM is a Cop-Led Horror Flick That's Scary for All the Right Reasons - Daily Dead As point-of-view horror filmmaking evolves alongside advances in surveillance technology, so do depictions of our deepest fears. Night of the Reaper and Still/Born’s Brandon Christensen seizes an oppo...

"It’s got the right levels of aggravation, hysteria, and lingering ickiness that a Cops episode co-starring the devil deserves."

BODYCAM is a nifty, scrappy found footage horror flick from Brandon Christensen that gets the job done (out next week on Shudder).

Haven't splurged on Rucking Fotten tees in a bit cuz of money reasons, but I couldn't stay away from their new READY OR NOT drop.

Also couldn't decide between the regular and variant color schemes, sooooo I snagged both lol. 🀷

"It's a creature feature about feminist rage with a plot hanging by a thread, but by the sheer force of punk-rock gothic exuberance, THE BRIDE! is one hell of a ride."

Maggie Gyllenhaal's got a real love-or-hate flick on her hands (I enjoyed the chaos). Jessie Buckley, however, is undeniable.

Ok but at least Monty went to a team where you can still root for him. We’ll take good care of him!

I saw this take in a review, and did a quadruple take. β€œIt’s a Scream movie, what did you expect?” Kindly, what in the bold blue fuck are you talking about?

Scream 3 was the only entry I didn’t like, and even that’s growing on me. Quality-wise, it’s one of the most consistent horror franchises.
