@filmbitten It's a weird disconnect for some people. Almost everyone has been through an unrequited love. They get the reason for the fantasy, but can't latch on to why it's wrong. The film was pretty brilliant to hammer it home with the real Nikki fighting for control.

@SmellicusCuntis EXACTLY

so many people defending him in my replies… did his puppy dog eyes hypnotize you or something??? were you playing subway surfers during the movie???

@_wordmachine @media_marshall I don't like pretentious idiots. You also clearly can't be a good writer when you seem like someone who's never interacted with another human being in person.

@SmellicusCuntis @media_marshall What mental illness do you have?

I think it is very likely, if not probable at this point, that BACKROOMS will open above the second frame of THE MANDOLORIAN AND GROGU and send shockwaves across Hollywood boardrooms around what people *actually* want to see right now.

@NickNirmatAAA Good. That's what I was worried about with turning this into a two hour movie. A lot harder to capture that same cosmic dread following a main character and explaining things. Crossing my fingers this really hits.

Every person who's watched this movie early says it doesn't explain a lot, which I think is PERFECT. The Backrooms should stay unexplained and mysterious. That's a huge part of what makes it so unnerving and scary.

@_wordmachine @media_marshall Once again, shut the fuck up you pretentious idiot.

@SmellicusCuntis @media_marshall You made a number of false and emotional statements. Every movie, good or bad, is art by definition. I also have high aesthetic standards, but using the word "art" as a value judgment is incorrect, even if a lot of people do it.

@DannyDrinksWine King is still making characters in 2026 talk like they're in 1954 and he keeps trying to link everything like he's the MCU. King need to sit down and be quiet for awhile.

"What’s basically wrong with Kubrick’s version of 'The Shining' (1980) is that it’s a film by a man who thinks too much & feels too little; and that’s why, for all its virtuoso effects, it never gets you by the throat and hangs on the way real horror should." --- Stephen King Full Excerpt: "Stanley Kubrick‘s version of 'The Shining' (1980) is a lot tougher for me to evaluate [than 'Carrie' (1976)], because I’m still profoundly ambivalent about the whole thing. I’d admired Kubrick for a long time and had great expectations for the project, but I was deeply disappointed in the end result. Parts of the film are chilling, charged with a relentlessly claustrophobic terror, but others fall flat. I think there are two basic problems with the movie. First, Kubrick is a very cold man—pragmatic and rational—and he had great difficulty conceiving, even academically, of a supernatural world. He used to make transatlantic calls to me from England at odd hours of the day and night, and I remember once he rang up at seven in the morning and asked, “Do you believe in God?” I wiped the shaving cream away from my mouth, thought a minute and said, “Yeah, I think so.” Kubrick replied, “No, I don’t think there is a God,” and hung up. Not that religion has to be involved in horror, but a visceral skeptic such as Kubrick just couldn’t grasp the sheer inhuman evil of the Overlook Hotel. So he looked, instead, for evil in the characters and made the film into a domestic tragedy with only vaguely supernatural overtones. That was the basic flaw: Because he couldn’t believe, he couldn’t make the film believable to others. The second problem was in characterization and casting. Jack Nicholson, though a fine actor, was all wrong for the part. His last big role had been in 'One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest' (1975), and between that and his manic grin, the audience automatically identified him as a loony from the first scene. But the book is about Jack Torrance’s gradual descent into madness through the malign influence of the Overlook, which is like a huge storage battery charged with an evil powerful enough o corrupt all those who come into contact with it. If the guy is nuts to begin with, then the entire tragedy of his downfall is wasted. For that reason, the film has no center and no heart, despite its brilliantly unnerving camera angles and dazzling use of the Steadicam. What’s basically wrong with Kubrick’s version of 'The Shining' is that it’s a film by a man who thinks too much and feels too little; and that’s why, for all its virtuoso effects, it never gets you by the throat and hangs on the way real horror should. I’d like to remake 'The Shining' someday, maybe even direct it myself if anybody will give me enough rope to hang myself with." (From Stephen King's interview to Playboy, 1983) P.S: On this day, 46 years ago, "The Shining" (1980) had its limited release in the USA & Turkey.

@ApollosMission I mean, obviously Passenger isn't it, but there's always a truly great horror film just around the corner.

I fear that watching any horror movie after seeing Obsession is going to feel severely underwhelming for a VERY long time, there’s no way Passenger is going to live up to it.

@_wordmachine @media_marshall Anger is a gift. And you sounded like a twat, so it was necessary.

@SmellicusCuntis @media_marshall You're a little bit too angry.

@TulsiGabbard @ODNIgov What are you going to do next? Pretend to be a Democrat again, pretend to be Republican again, pretend to be MAGA again or just admit that you'll suck off the highest bidder?

I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead @ODNIgov for the last year and a half. Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.

@dudaperol @kylebuchanan She was. Just no one wants to post her cringe speech where she quoted Drake lyrics.

@kylebuchanan why wasnt jane present??

TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA just won the Queer Palm at Cannes and here’s star Gillian Anderson reading Jane Schoenbrun’s acceptance speech

@TaraBull There's nothing she can wear that's gonna hide them cakes.

He doesn't want his girlfriend wearing her new jeans out in public, would you?

@PopCrave @AppleMusic THIS is Jack Antonoff? This cunt is bagging all the hot celebrities? Nigga looks like Eddie Deezen.

Jack Antonoff says he’s not focused on numbers when making music in new @AppleMusic interview: “No fan cares if their artist is the biggest in the world…artists don’t give a f*ck, I don’t give a f*ck, and none of us do.”

@AVARY I don't agree with 90% of the dumb Supergirl whining, but I have to agree here. I don't know why studios can't get their stars to just shut the fuck up before a movie is released. Especially one this important to the studio's future.

Besmirching Christian dads is a stupid PR move.

@BryanBerg2000 @writriverdale Trips me out how many illiterate twats who can barely operate a cell phone camera thinks they can make a better movie than some of the most lauded filmmakers in history.

@writriverdale Trips me out is how many people online really think about what could have been. Thought no one but me gave af, but audience was there. Damn, Nolan fumbled.

Alexandra Daddario would be a great Athena because of her mesmerizing and uncanny eyes

@writriverdale It's like staring into the eyes of a chicken.

@SocietyMovies Jesus is black and he hates you.

No matter how hard they try to normalize being gay, deep down they know that homosexuality is a humiliation ritual which is why it's always their first go to insult... Actions over words.

@Cine_vichaar People like We Bury the Dead? Never hear anyone talk about it. It was pretty dull and the ideas are a jumbled mess.

2026 is turning into one of the strongest years for horror

@TomerHacohen @Cine_vichaar You sound like someone who has to go door to door informing their neighbors that they moved into the neighborhood.

@Cine_vichaar Send help isn’t horror. Its a woke horrific.

@Promiseishim There didn't seem to be a lot of thought put into Depp after a certain period. He became a one note joke and his end felt like an afterthought.

One thing that confused me in The Boys finale: The show keeps establishing that the sea creatures turned on Deep because of the pipeline spill 3-15 Xander says it, the dying fish mention it Then Deep lands in the water and suddenly they’re all yelling “Her name was Ambrosius!” How would random sea creatures even know who Ambrosius was or that Deep killed her? Feels like the reason they hated him changed halfway through.

@unabodied Yep. This is our badge of honor. We'll give anything a chance and can find the entertainment value in something awful if it was coming from sincerity. Horror is the best genre.

something also unique about the horror film community is we will watch literally anything. in fact if your movie is bad enough there is a small sect of us that will like it even more
