I'm not in Michigan, and Dem MI voters have the right to vote for whomever they want, but my concern is that the primary is getting so nasty it's going to cost a Senate seat. I see no way for the Dems to flip control of the Senate in November if they lose a seat in MI. There's no path.

The only Marvel comics I ever read as a kid were the X-Men titles, and it's still the only Marvel property I pay attention to. I think Samara Weaving will make a great Emma Frost. deadline.com/2026/07/x-me...

I'm really grateful I had the chance to do this interview. Nighborn was one of my favorite films out of this year's Fantasia Film Festival.

I am so tired of hearing about John Fetterman, and yes, I voted for him, but all he does is go on Fox News and bitch about his own party. I miss the days when he was our Lt. Gov. and constantly used to troll the state GOP.

It is 2026. Why are we still talking about Dr. Fauci?

Me too and her novel Song of Achilles as well.

Should be the easiest midterm cycle to win. Instead, we have reporting today about the DNC’s struggles to raise money, and DNC chair Ken Martin throwing his phone at a staffer. 🙄 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/u...

Her Private Hell is gorgeous and looks like a 70s giallo, but the script is a bit of a mess. My review: #filmsky #moviesky #herprivatehell www.thehorrorlounge.com/post/her-pri...

Her Private Hell is polarizing and perverse, but never dullIt's been ten years since Nicolas Winding Refn released his last film, The Neon Demon. During that time, the Danish director has worked on various streaming series, including Too Old to Die Young on A...www.thehorrorlounge.com

I had the chance to interview Chuck Russell a few years ago regarding his remake of Witchboard. He was very generous with his time, kind, and funny. May he RIP. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

I wrote a piece about why Samantha Morton's performance as Circe is so good in Nolan's The Odyssey, while exploring how the adaptation updates the character to hold a mirror up to Odysseus about what he and his men did at Troy. Check it out. :)

Pinocchio Unstrung is a bloody and vicious fairy tale retelling, and I enjoyed interviewing its writer/director, Rhys Frake-Waterfield, about the movie and his future plans for the "Poohniverse." Check it out! #filmsky #horrorsky www.thehorrorlounge.com/post/intervi...

I’m starting a thread for my reviews from the Fantasia Film Festival. First up is Tight Lettuce, an honest look at addiction that’s also an effective dark comedy. #FantasiaFilmFest #filmsky www.thehorrorlounge.com/post/tight-l...

Tight Lettuce is an absurd, yet emotional father and son film (Fantasia 2026)Tight Lettuce deals with incredibly heavy subject matter, specifically the opioid crisis and drug addiction, as well as a son desperately trying to get his father to kick his addiction. Yet, the film ...www.thehorrorlounge.com

It's been a few days since I've seen The Odyssey, and I already can't wait to see it again, just for that sequence with Circe alone!

I loved Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey. The film has a lot to say about PTSD, memory, and narrative. Really gorgeous looking on the big screen, too. It does a nice job depicting the duality of Odysseus as well.

I'll say this about Evil Dead Burn. Like the last two entries, it has a really good final girl. It refuses to play it safe and crosses one line that's usually never crossed. That said, man do I wish it had a little more levity. My review: #horrosky #filmsky www.thehorrorlounge.com/post/evil-de...

Evil Dead Burn has a vicious mean streak that makes it the bleakest entry yetBeginning with 2023's Evil Dead Rise, franchise creator Sam Raimi and its initial star, Bruce Campbell, moved to executive producers, allowing each new movie to have a different director.

Listen, I'm not rushing summer, but yes, I did finish my fall semester syllabi and uploaded two of my classes to Canvas already, with two more to go. 😱

Why has Graham Platner not dropped out yet? I thought he would have first thing this morning.

I do not live in Maine. I'm not a Maine voter, but it still boggles my mind how and why Graham Platner was elevated. The warning signs were there early. The story that dropped today is sickening. Meanwhile, hard to see how the Senate flips without Maine. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
