Friends, we need help! Hopefully, for the very last time since I've found a 2nd job. Our electricity is about to be disconnected. I've been working w/ the City and I was on a payment arrangement. An auto-draft was returned & they want $840 now or disconnection is set for Monday.
Since we're talking about Ti West, if you haven't seen THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL (2009), please seek it out. It's a terrific film and is perfect for the upcoming Halloween season.
It's streaming now on Shudder.
I've been applying for jobs for months. I had a 2nd interview for the one I really wanted last week. I was still sick but went anyway wearing a mask. I thought it went well cos they 3 people interviewing me loved that I was a film critic. Anyway, today I was offered the job!!
BONE TOMAHAWK is a terrific film. Sure, it's rather brutal and "that one scene" is shocking but the movie is absolutely worth watching. Richard Jenkins performance was absolutely Oscar-worthy. By all means, watch this movie and form your own opinion.
Looking for a horror movie to watch that you might not have seen? May I suggest STAGEFRIGHT:AQUARIUS (1987) directed by Michele Soavi. It's an Italian slasher that's all kinds of crazy. It's streaming now on Amazon Prime.
JOHN CARTER (2012) is now streaming on Disney+. Look, I know a ton of you hate this but I think there are some great things in it and is absolutely worth watching.
Please don't bother @-ing me with your "hot take" on it. This tweet isn't FOR you. Move along.
Ted, our apartment complex burned yesterday cos of this power outage. People were cold and lit a fire. It was 45° in our apartment after 8+ hours of no power. They're still out of power. We're homeless now. We're in a shelter here in Austin. Tell me again how great Texas is again
California is now unable to perform even basic functions of civilization, like having reliable electricity.
Biden/Harris/AOC want to make CA’s failed energy policy the standard nationwide.
Hope you don’t like air conditioning!
I'd like to give a shout out to Whale's THE INVISIBLE MAN (1933). I think it sometimes gets the short shrift among Universal's other monsters. Claude Rains' performance is sheer lunacy. He's an absolute boss. The body count on this one is insane, too. It's my favorite.
Okay,
@alamodrafthouse
, but instead of "Rowdy" screenings, you have "No Ironic Laughing at Nic Cage" screenings so I can go see things like WILD AT HEART and not have it ruined by assholes who laugh at every single line Cage utters in *any* film he's in, no matter what it is?
#WhyImMutingYou
...
because you retweet more than you tweet
because puns
because your "takes" are lukewarm, at best
because you're relentlessly negative
because you assume I don't know about film
because you assume I don't know about ________
because you're an asshole
I'm going to go ahead & suggest another Horror movie you might not have seen. This one is harder to get a hold of but it's absolutely worth your time. THE SPIDER LABYRINTH (1988) is an Italian horror film that is just BEGGING to be remastered and released.
Remember that one time De Palma set up a bunch of cameras and gave us this glorious shot of John Cassavetes being blown up from a ton of angles in THE FURY?
The first I saw the ending, I stood up and yelled "Holy shit!" and was just giddy all afternoon.
If you'll allow me to talk about another horror movie you might not have seen... You'll be doing yourself quite a service to seek out
ALUCARDA (1977). It's a visual stunner and probably unlike a lot of horror you are used to watching.
I don't know which of you need to hear this but...
Whispering during a movie is still fucking talking. I can hear you. What part of "QUIET ZONE. NO TALKING" is unclear to you?
Shut

Stay

If I die of Covid, you absolutely have my permission to use my story to shame every single Texan GOP ghoul in office (as if that's possible). It's their fault we're homeless and it's their fault my kiddo has Covid. Fuck Greg Abbott and his party of death.

Our apartment building burned down on Monday here in Austin. Someone lit a fire to keep warm. We're homeless now. It's a nightmare trying to even think about finding a new place to live right now.
Here is Jean Grey. She's always been a bit standoffish so we thought she'd be really mad and this but she's already up on the bed, kneading on Eric. She's purring, too.
I'm all for physical media but all those rather smug "If you love <insert title here>, just buy it and stop complaining about it leaving a streaming service" need to remember not everyone is like you and can just drop $35-$100 a pop on disc/set like it's nothing.
You guys rock the cock and then some. After the first place said they were overbooked, I just walked into the hotel next door and said "Do you have a room?" and the clerk said "We got you". I almost cried.
This week, I'm looking at Neil Jordan's BYZANTIUM (2013). It's a vampire movie starring Saoirse Ronan and that should be enough to get you to want to watch it.
Wow, why would anyone want to follow this account? JFC. All this vitriol over people just asking them to credit the artist when tweeting someone's work.
Walked down to the bank just now in preparation for signing the lease. Afterwards, I was walking in to 7-11 for a slurpee, and my phone rang. It was about setting up a phone interview for a job. Once inside the store, clerk gave me my drink for free. What is this day?
From Blockbuster? Nothing. Fuck that place. I was renting from the local shop in Claremont, CA called Video Paradiso. It's still there today.
We would've been renting something like a Something Weird double feature or a Paul Naschy movie.
I just want to thank everyone here on Twitter who has been there for me and my family over the past 5 weeks. Without you, I don't know where we'd be. We signed the lease on our new place. We get the keys tomorrow.
I'll never be able to thank you all enough. You're truly amazing
Leaving for the hospital now. Thank you all for your well wishes and good vibes. You know I was kidding when I said I only liked a few of you. I have a great bunch of followers and friends. 💕
I'm sitting here in the car in tears having had to pick up the top half of TV's Frank's body from a neighbor's yard. He must've been hit by a car. He was missing since yesterday. I posted on Nextdoor & someone replied telling me to call him.
RIP TV's Frank. 💔
Although released in 1964, BLOOD AND BLACK LACE opened in the U.S. 55 years ago today.

This is the absolute last thing I wanted to have to do after everyone has already given so much to us. With us both in hospital, Eric in ICU, & both facing surgery, I don't even know how we go forward from here. Even if you could just share this. 💕
Eric update: He's actually now home! They've arranged for him to have his rehab at home. We're happy to have him home and so are the cats. He's walking well. They didn't send him home with a walker.
Just got released. Surgery went well. In pain but on the way to the pharmacy to get some pain meds.
Thank you for all the well wishes. I really do appreciate it. 💕
Welly, welly, welly, look at this, these fuckers CHARGE people to have them tweet about their horror projects. So, that's why they don't want to credit artists. They want to be paid to do it.
I'm sure nothing will happen to me during surgery and everything will go just fine but right now I'm feeling bad and alone so i just want to, again, thank you Twitter friends for being there for me and my family. Your support through these last two terrible months has been
Our sweet Jean Grey... when we got her from the shelter 8 years ago in NM, she was just about to be put down. She was so shy, she wouldn't even let us pet her for almost a year.
We had to put her to sleep tonight. The vet said she wouldn't be able you recover from her issue.
RIP Yaphet Kotto. He was one of my all-time favorite actors. A king among men. When I saw his name in the credits, I knew I'd be in for a good time. Sleep well, sir.
RIP to the legendary John Saxon. I adored him so much. Anytime I see his name in the credits, I know I'm in for a good time. Loved his turn in TENEBRE and it includes one of my favorite ever moments in film...
Eric and I were both extended an offer for a job. One year contract. Meals provided. Nice hourly salary. Starts at the end of the month. Benefits available, too.
Got word we are approved for one of the houses we were looking at. It's our send choice but we're jumping on. We can't really wait on our first choice unless they come through today before 4:00pm. I'm so relieved.
RIP Dick Miller. He was one of my favorite actors. Whenever I see his name come up in the credits, I smile. This pin is always on my jacket. Sleep well, sir.
Like many of you, I seem to have lost a lot of followers in the last week. If they unfollowed because they don't like what I'm tweeting, good riddance.
