What’s the scariest you’ve ever seen?

For me, it’s “Don’t Look Up” bc while the is supposed to be satire, it’s terrifyingly plausible from my perspective as a former staffer who now studies science policy.

I've discovered an treasure! reviews, through the lens of content.

https://californiaherps.com/films/snakesinmovieslist.html

Browse by snake trope, read the snake-centric one line synopsis. Then read the full review of snakey-goodness.

Example quote: "It's also the only holiday movie I know about where a venomous snake is a major character, and a likeable one, too. "

The Rocky Horror Picture Show - 1975 - starring Richard O'Brien, Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick. (movie-web.app)

This one goes out to those in the closet, those proudly out, and those thinking about opening the door. Makeup? Check. Toilet paper? Check. Lingerie? Check. Meatloaf? Check. It's midnight, and the guests have all arrived - it's just a jump to the left, and step to the right......

Here is my first ever movie review. 🙃

The Sudbury Devil (2023)

Short version: Would recommend this mystery/horror film.

Plot: Two Puritan Magistrates are investigating ungodly events in the woods near Sudbury-town.

Unrated with sexual content, gore, and violence.

The film is set in Massachusetts circa 1680. What make it good is that it's well written, well filmed, and well acted. The actors are all speaking in Original Punctuation (OP), ie, how the English Puritan colonist would actually speak. The OP dialogue is easy to understand and helps fit the movie into it's time period.

Hard part will be finding it. It's an independent film. So the distribution will be limited.

I got to see it via a one-time streaming that is part of the initial release.

Is that a metaphor for the overuse of JavaScript frameworks/libraries where plain old HTML/CSS/JS would be much better?

What Killed The Movie Trailer? (www.youtube.com)

Movie Trailers may have started out as a tool to sell films, but over time they have evolved into their own spectacle. Before a film is released there are a multitude of Theatrical Trailers, TV Spots, Web Shorts, and even Trailers before the Trailer starts. How did Hollywood turn from a simple marketing tool, to a an ever...

Silent Running might be one of the most depressing sci-fi's I've ever watched.
I can see how in the 70s it probably was distant enough to feel like a fantastical drama, and the idea of earth losing its ecosystems with the last remnants being kept alive in outer-space domes was an unrealistic idea, but today it feels just way too current.

Bruce Dern is absolutely amazing, but omg this movie just gets more and more sad until it ends as bleakly as it begun

cannot unsee bunny faces

A Powerful Executive Praised for His Efforts Shared Racist, Antisemitic Sentiments in Texts

Ryan Millsap has built important relationships with Black leaders and Jewish colleagues.

But his private communications, copies of which were filed in court, exhibit derogatory views toward those communities.

A fantastic 4-part series debunking the whole "no was used" narrative that studios keep trying to push these days.
