Thank you to all who hung out at my Halloween stream last night! I hope to see you all at Day 1 of my Extra Life stream, benefitting SickKids Hospital, this Saturday at 11:00 AM ET!
Hey #FilMastodon
now that #Spooktober is almost over, can we talk about #Noirvember?
My DB contains 60 Film-Noirs, of which I've seen 1/2 or maybe even 2/3.
I want to see as many Film-Noirs as possible and probably some Neo-Noirs.
Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween to all who celebrate!
In the middle ages, and even now in Scotland, turnips were carved instead of pumpkins and they were called jack-o-lanterns. They were attached by strings to sticks and inside them were burning coals that illuminated the eyes. Celebrants would also serve food and the living were only allowed to eat it after inviting ancestors to join them. This was called a dumb supper, where the food sat available for spirits to enjoy as the living regaled them with tales from their lives and entertained them with games and songs.
These days, we might set out some food or candy for our ancestors as an offering, light candles so that they can find their way to us, and sing prayers to them at night. However you choose to celebrate, be sure to say hello to your loved ones who've passed and be respectful.
Wishing you all safe and happy celebrations! 🎃 🦇🕸️🪦🖤🧙🏻♀️👻☠️
Sweet #Cinema, you vex me. You know I wince at #BodyHorror and still you tempt me with David Cronenberg's #CrimesOfTheFuture , his most recent nightmare. I must admit it repulsed and lured me in the ways that only he can. I felt entrenched as if inside a classic #Scifi novel. Yet I'm not kinky enough for repeat servings... Next up: his son's Infinity Pool.
With its gut-wrenching #SciFi concept, #InfinityPool says more about colonial tourism than the typical #WhiteLotus episode. Though I was left unmoved by its conclusion.
