@linkeepsitreal A few things. I accidently clicked on twitter. Interview with a Vampire is awesome, and this thread is how I found out season 2 had started. And finally for accessibility, season 1 was released on DVD and Bluray!

@FreddyInSpace "Bloody disgustzine" coming this fall lol

[ConnerMacDonald @ConnerMacDonald]

@FreddyInSpace Honestly, super speculative, I can see a return to print being a thing. People will want a proof of effort. AI bros will generate images and articles all day. But they wont go through the effort of an old school zine hand folded and passed out at a convention or street corner.

@FreddyInSpace "What's a good Horror yt channel?"
"Oh its all the same clickbait and outrage content now. If you want something informed, curated, and of quality, go directly to Bloody Disgusting."

[ConnerMacDonald @ConnerMacDonald]

@FreddyInSpace I think that this is going to lead to a more sectioned off internet. In every websites bid to be the only website people use, they've made themselves into useless messes by spreading to thin. This is only going to be worse with AI saturating media with trash.

@FreddyInSpace I know a couple who watches movies on fast forward... then they complain about the movie...

@Lons Was this promo filmed for Quibi?

Release Barbarian on Blu-ray and DVD - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/8XY33owCKs via @CdnChange

@LittleGhostsBoo If I was in Toronto at the time. Yes.

@FreddyInSpace Movie is worth it for the end alone! And the whistle! Love the whistle. Was actually watching a documentary series where they took the whistle and added it to its score... my wife wasn't as excited about it, especially when I paused it and played a clip from JBD to compare.

This shit is wild. It’s like a regular 50s horror movie but the there are a handful of insane, very troubling, psychedelic 3D dream sequences. I was not prepared.

[ConnerMacDonald @ConnerMacDonald]

@Lons Love this movie. Great to watch with people. First Canadian film to reach wide release!
I recommend it to be double featured with "The Tingler" movie one? "PUT THE MASK ON EVERYONE!"
Movie two? "EVERYONE SCREAM THE TINGLER AWAY!"

[ConnerMacDonald @ConnerMacDonald]

@FreddyInSpace Going to watch it tomorrow. Been watching one Leprechaun film each St. Paddy's day for the last 4 years, and finally reached "In the Hood".

[ConnerMacDonald @ConnerMacDonald]

@FreddyInSpace ...I guess... incidentally? lol

[ConnerMacDonald @ConnerMacDonald]

@bstolemyremote @FreddyInSpace I remember when my local cineplex had atmosphere. They really used to lean into their theme of being like... a star trek movie theatre. On top of that, the cineplex killed all our local indie theatres.

[ConnerMacDonald @ConnerMacDonald]

@HeatherAntos Lately I've tried to think about how I'm living SOMEONES dream.

[ConnerMacDonald @ConnerMacDonald]

@FreddyInSpace Also, when you look at this from the context of the time, he's not saying anything crazy. His critique of "Close Encounters" is valid, and he doesn't put down "Star Wars" he says he enjoyed "American Graffiti", which is a polite way of saying he didn't like "Star Wars" lol

[ConnerMacDonald @ConnerMacDonald]

@Lons I'd be interested how these people compare the apple that is "DUNE" to the orange that is "Polytechnique".

"I don't know, the visceral horror of a school shooting fueled by misogynism really doesn't stand up to the sand worms."

[ConnerMacDonald @ConnerMacDonald]

@Lons This is such an obvious thing too. Do people think he makes AVATAR movies on a whim? Love them or hate them, these are his passion projects an are exactly what he intends them to be.
