With #toystory5 hitting theaters next week, I’m seeing little love for Toy Story 4, a sequel I admittedly didn’t want and completely won me over, not to mention it’s the most gorgeous entry in the franchise. This is a sequel that I think deserves more flowers!

Can’t believe he created a whole office for the Gays to have affairs in. Honestly iconic.

20 years later, why has ‘THE OMEN’ (2006) been forgotten?

Despite a massive opening day, a brilliant 6/6/06 marketing campaign, and more than $120 million worldwide, the remake has largely vanished from horror conversations.

‘BACKROOMS’ is officially A24's highest grossing movie of all time worldwide.

The film just passed $200M.

Gonna make a backrooms game where you're a father who's more upset that all the lights were left on and it's your job to turn them all off.

Marlon Wayans says "I wish I’d heard" that Melissa Barrera wanted to be in #ScaryMovie after getting fired from "Scream 7."

"That would have been a lot of fun. I definitely would’ve tried to make that work. That would’ve been a masterful cameo. Maybe for Part 7!"

@khiaville @SCREAMwithRCS What does “an accurate nazi joke” mean exactly?

Steven Spielberg’s A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is a PINOCCHIO odyssey, full of visceral emotion (Grief, abandonment & yearning). The Flesh Fair sequence is harrowing. God-tier production design & John Williams score. An unflinching performance from Haley Joel Osment. #BleakWeek

Some people don’t realize what a Pride anthem Janet’s “Together Again” is.

The song was inspired by her friend who died of AIDS.

As independent creators reshape horror, we're witnessing a generational shift in the genre.

Before SKINAMARINK, director Kyle Edward Ball was making terrifying analog horror videos on YouTube.

Streaming now on Shudder.

I’m heartbroken to hear that we lost Peabo Bryson today.  His incredible voice and his kind spirit embodied the beauty of song and performance.  He was so wonderful and generous to me all those years ago, when we recorded Beauty and the Beast. He made me so comfortable, as I was just learning to sing in English.  He will remain for me always as a real symbol of the joy that music has brought to my life. His voice and his talent will be missed…

My heart is with your family, and may you rest in peace, Peabo.

Love,

Celine xx…

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

Happy Pride Month.

One of the films that heavily inspired BACKROOMS? 2002 thriller ONE HOUR PHOTO starring Robin Williams.

Kane Parsons explains, "When you look at it, it inherently is pretty thoroughly in the language of Backrooms."

Parsons was born 3 years after One Hour Photo released!

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

A sequel to ‘BACKROOMS’ is in early development.

Director Kane Parsons is seeking a screenwriting collaborator.

#MarilynMonroe turns 100 today. And to this day, she remains the ultimate standard-bearer of Hollywood glamour.

Monroe died in 1962 (at the tragically premature age of 36) before the sexual revolution, but in her time, she helped usher in a revved-up sensuality onscreen.

The era she inaugurates lives on: A certain stripe of actress will inevitably be compared, first, to Monroe. The star has been the butt of too many mean jokes, the object of veneration and a muse for film and literary retellings that have elevated her into the realm of myth.

Monroe was pilloried in her moment too, but she was also allowed by Hollywood to test her talents in a manner that, decades later, actresses known for their physicality still struggle to do.
