For once I would love it if people in professional places would stop ghosting as a communicative tactic.

Feel like I took a misdirect back in 2007 and I’ve been stepping on landmines ever since.

honestly i think it's great that women are able to make absolute garbage just like men and i think it's great that we can be like "this woman is one of the stupidest voices in cinema right now" and everyone immediately knows who you're talking about

Even just sharing this would mean so much to me. I am really sorry to do this because I know we’re all going through something - everywhere around the world - but I just have to try everything at this point. shedellamorte.dashery.com/products/372...

Kid Rock’s bio on Letterboxd being largely negative space just fits for how empty headed he is.

Dave is so unbelievably out of touch at this point that it's just kind of embarrassing.

The insane deflection by the Trump administration continues to pile itself on top of disgusting behavior. How you depict people - say, the former President and the First Lady - matters. There is zero accountability in anyone, while they perpetuate racist ideology as acceptable, and it’s disgusting.

Welp, bought this a couple years ago off Amazon, and decided to open it up last night for some laughs. Looks like the joke is on me.

My first experience with Silent Hill came when I was visiting my Uncle when I was eight or nine years old at the end of the 1990s. I was rummaging through a cabinet in his bedroom trying to find a sports video game for us to play together on his PlayStation, and hidden among the lighters, CDs and packs of cigarettes, was a game called Silent Hill. My uncle was around fifteen years my senior, and indulged in a lot of the off-putting retrograde culture of the late 90s like South Park, Eminem, and the WWF, but that sort of thing rarely spilled over into our childhood experiences with him. He seemed a little more open to showing my brother and I a thing or two from his pop culture interests in horror. Whenever we saw him, it wasn’t strange for us to overhear from across the hall, the blasting away of zombies in Resident Evil, or the muffled splatter ambience of Doug Bradley and his cenobites in Hellraiser. In hindsight, his taste seemed built on popular extremes, and that’s certainly something that we eventually shared in common when I got into bands like Slipknot, and movies like The Devil’s Rejects. My uncle would struggle with drug addiction in the following decade, and while he certainly had his demons,  whenever I think of him, I am pulled to memories of video games and horror movies and easygoing experiences. I can remember pulling the Silent Hill case from his drawer and asking him what it was about, and if we could play it. He warned me that it was really scary, but he would show it to me if I promised not to tell my mom and dad that we played it. If I’m remembering correctly, I don’t believe I ever took the controller when he offered it to me, because I was too scared, but I couldn’t look away either. Inside of this heavily pixelated world of fog and ash and rust and blood was something truly terrifying, and real. I was enamored with the howling static, and the paralyzing overhead cranes drifting down long, misbegotten alleyways, and how they cut into new, str

a still image from SILENT HILL 2 of Angela in a wide frame holding a knife. She has a look of desperation and resignation on her face. The colours have been desaturated in the frame and it is nearly black and white.

My horror column is back, and I'm looking at SILENT HILL 2, my relationship with the games, and the horrible shape of its camera, its angles, and its symbolic monsters.

Watched Cafe Flesh last night, and I don’t know why I expected more of a narrative feature (that’s on me), but damn this thing looked gorgeous.
