Beautiful, haunting film about the different ways people experience suffering, and the capacity of art to bridge those gaps.15 Dec 2025 02:27 +0000at://did:plc:sh4i3cv6wxpjsmasjdflevfw/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7ylgk57oc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/mmcsw13.bsky.social/post/3m7y2m7s4es2uIt’s been a fervent wish of mine to be part of a Filthy Loot F*CKED UP STORIES anthology, and behold!

So lovely to read some stories, hang with the @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social crew again, and see some of my fave horror authors in person. There was a quirky and diverse vendor market and a great selection of panels that were consistently packed.07 Oct 2025 17:53 +0000at://did:plc:sh4i3cv6wxpjsmasjdflevfw/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2moyz6qvk2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/mmcsw13.bsky.social/post/3m2an4dqs2k27Open invitation to join me in my annual Halloween month movie challenge!

I wrote it like 4 years ago, so I thought was it a good omen when they both returned at the Royal Rumble this year. #wrestlingcommunity14 Sep 2025 19:54 +0000at://did:plc:sh4i3cv6wxpjsmasjdflevfw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyt2zybjes2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/mmcsw13.bsky.social/post/3lycbsavggc2wThe ByTowne Cinema in Ottawa has been screening Hong Kong action movies and PEKING OPERA BLUES was the best yet. Perfect ratio of screwball comedy and spy drama, with a high-flying show-stopping climax. The theme song’s a bop, too.

(Listen to 2020’s ORDINARY MAN if you haven’t). Personal demons blending with his Prince of Darkness persona, blasting an Ozzy song on a bad day felt like having a seasoned guide along a dark road.

Surreal, mean-spirited narrative told in a linguistically playful stream-of-consciousness style. An enjoyable whirl.06 Jul 2025 04:29 +0000at://did:plc:sh4i3cv6wxpjsmasjdflevfw/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltbgquhrf22j
