For four years on the final Tuesday of the year me and three friends have celebrated Mishuika Day: a very silly, completely made up holiday whose only consistent feature is eating marshmallows out of hats while watching @lilly_wachowski and @LanalWachowski's Jupiter Ascending 1/3

Our mutual love for the Wachowski oeuvre is a major part of our friendship (our Facebook group chat is called “The Cluster” after all) but thanks to Covid – and the fact that most of us now live in different states – we have to celebrate virtually. (2/3)

You know that thing Miyazaki characters do when their angry/grossed out and they go rigid, eyes wide, and their hair starts to levitate? That's visually how I've felt the past few weeks leading up to this election.

Bogus! Amazon Prime's version of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is cropped from it's original aspect ratio...except for the opening credits for some reason. Can this most heinous crime be rectified @ed_solomon @Winter

Note to self: "hey, how's your plague going" may not be as funny a way to greet strangers as you think.

I first encountered @joebegos's films quite by accident. My short film was paired with his feature #bliss at the Spooky Movie Fest in DC and I was blown away, not just because it was a damn good movie, but also because it was indie in the purest sense. (1/3)

Now I've seen his latest, #VFW, and am more hopeful than ever that quality low-low budget filmmaking can still thrive within it's limitations even without traditional theatrical distribution so long as your audience can find you. (3/3)

I think a lot of Americans are quickly discovering the unintended consequences of a culture of patriotism primarily rooted in symbols, mythologized figures, the veneration of personal and military might, and ill-defined abstractions of "freedom." (1/3)

When these concepts take the forefront instead of say accountability, individual civic responsibility, and the common good it skews the popular conception of what it means to be an American to an implacable and ultimately self-serving abstraction. (2/3)

Tonight as part of the farewell series at Frederick MD's only indie movie screening venue #area31 a 15th anniversary screening of #shaunofthedead. Sorry 'bout the candle. Zombies, y'know? @simonpegg @nickjfrost @edgarwright
Looking for something spooky to watch this #Halloween? Two years ago some friends and I shot a movie about a mysterious wicker doll that follows a young woman called "Effigy." After a handful local screenings it's now finally online. Enjoy!

Even if by some miracle we achieve world peace, someone will deliberately ruin it just because they can't live with the idea that there's no grand, combative struggle they can "participate" in to derive purpose from and will invent one wholesale if they have to.
Not knocking Matt Smith's Doctor or the episodes @neilhimself wrote for him, they were fantastic, but @GoodOmensPrime re-affirms my profound sadness that he never got to write for David Tennant's Doctor.
Our screening of @quixotemovie crashed halfway through. Don't worry, they got it running again and no one was too upset. We'd waited this long, what's a few more minutes? Speaking for myself I was honestly just tickled pink to share a bit in the @TerryGilliam curse.
