This is why you can't believe anything on the internet. You don't just get accused of something like this. You either did it or you didn't...
...From the Archives!
I had to skip around with these due to all the nudity (trying to keep this as clean as possible considering who's writing this). One can't help but laugh when seeing things they did a quarter of a century ago. It's like sitting around with a group of old friends and they remind you of some of the cringe things you did in public that are now hilarious. Listen, I don't need other people for that, fam. My brain does that on a regular basis. What I can't get over (or even remember) is why I used the markers and pencils I did. Probably because I didn't know any better, but also probably due to the fact that the "technology" wasn't where it is now. Feast your eyes on those wonky characters, y'all.
There's always something suppressing something in this universe...
From Scientific American:
"For decades, astronomers have known that supermassive black holes lurk at the hearts of essentially all large galaxies, occasionally feasting on infalling material and burping out powerful jets. But what’s been less clear is how, exactly, this activity shapes their surrounding galaxies.
Now researchers have found a crucial piece of this galactic puzzle by observing a supermassive black hole shooting out a wobbling jet in the galaxy VV 340A, some 450 million light-years from Earth. The jet acts as a cosmic scale snowplow, pushing away gas that would otherwise fuel the creation of new stars. The result was announced at this year’s winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Phoenix, Ariz."
This is very much an igorant thing to type on a keyboard, but while reading that article I couldn't help but keep thinking "black holes have tentacles" and "the Flying Spaghetti Monster is real". It's nonsense like that rattling around in my head which keeps people like me from being employed in scientific disciplines, no doubt.
It may just be that I'm getting old, but I could've sworn this flick had already been released...
I really do believe I've seen this trailer at least over a year ago, but whatever.
The story of The Wizard of OZ already kinda scared me as a kid. Maybe not so much the story in general, but more so the characters (The wicked witch, flying monkeys, the projection of the man behind the curtain, etc). I found it all to be very ominous and offputting (I had no idea what those words meant back then). However, now that there is a sequel being released and it's horror, I may be justified in my youthful terror. I think this is going to be a good one!
Another sad loss for the film and creative industry...
The actor was found dead on Friday in his Duarte, California home after calling 9-1-1 at 5:42pm, TMZ reported. A cause of death was not immediately disclosed, but foul play is not expected.T.K. Carter did A LOT of work to entertain us over the span of his life. I mostly remember him from Good Times and 227, but he also had a role in one of my all time favorite horror movies The Thing. A funny and witty entertainer who was prolific and talented, no doubt.
Born Dec. 18, 1956 in New York City, Carter grew up outside of Los Angeles, where he began performing as a standup comedian at age 12, going on to perform at the Comedy Store and other notable venues.
More horror! More horror!...
I personally wouldn't trust anyone who has a necklace with a razor blade pendant attached to it, but that's just me. This also gives some insight as to what really goes on during those "girls trips" your wife or girlfriend be takin'. If she isn't cheating on you she's doing some weird stuff, no doubt. I'm kidding (kinda), but this one looks disturbing. It's a reminder that no one should be dabbling in any kind of occult activities in their off time. Ever. Definitely another one on the list!
Y'all already know, so this one needs no introduction...
From A24:
"When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter's family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited. Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell."
Now, here's the thing: I'm not an expert at critiquing anything, let alone film, so this is just my opinion. However, I do believe this movie is a double entendre for both the actual storyline and inherited family mental illness. What gives me this idea is the element of none of the characters being in any type of control of the situation, even though they may feel that they are. It's "hereditary" that they've been put there and fighting their way out of it is hopeless and a bit hubristic, but they don't know that.
Many don't like this film and found it boring. Sometimes that's how people respond to art; especially if their viewing creative work to feel something rather than think about something. So, I get it. No one goes to a nightclub to hear music that's brooding or ominous - unless they're gothic I guess. All that aside, Toni Colette and Milly Shapiro are next level in their performances (not to mention the rest of the cast), so if you don't feel anything watching this you probably need more fiber in your diet. I kid, but seriously...watch this if you haven't already.
Clearly I haven't been keeping up with podcasts because I missed this...
Recorded live at OHM Berlin - 16.10.2025What I love most about Presha's mixes (as much as the rest of the Samurai / HORO camp) is that each one has a different way of transporting you to a separate realm. Sometimes this realm is full of the esoteric and harrowing, sometimes it's just straight futuristic and ominous. One thing's for sure, these rides are always creative fuel for me.
