Today in my new FOR PAID SUBSCRIBERS October post is up! In it, I covered Kea Wilson's WE EAT OUR OWN (about the making of a fictional version of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST) and John Skipp and Craig Spector's THE LIGHT AT THE END. billryan64.substack.com/p/let-me-tel...

it's kind of funny that Trump is in favor of literally every bad thing in the world

DISCLOSURE DAY, 2026, d. Spielberg

Because I'm morbid and apparently like to be depressed, I'm watching that Matthew Perry doc on Netflix. But depressing as it is, the clips of him doing physical comedy have really made me laugh. He was good at that.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

Watching LOL HALLOWEEN and Daisy May Cooper is a weird lady.

People seem angry that YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING isn't the same HBO they've seen 3,000 times. Also they're mad they can't watch it in three 50 minute installments.

Me and the regular group who like my posts

it is well known that in a real documentary people aren’t allowed to lie

this looks like it should be in a frame on top of a piano in Abel Ferrara's THE FUNERAL

Sometimes when I see a movie I think "That was pretty good." But other times I will see a movie and think "I didn't care for that."

I don't know who the wicked apothecary behind this show is, but I've read the novel. There's some dark shit in that book.

in the mood for a cheese sandwich? here's a tip: try grilling it first. #BillsFoodViews

The Devils (1971). You can only make something this obscene, this blasphemous, this beyond the pale if your fear and love of God is this genuine and absolute. Which is why among the many things The Devils is, is a more profound work of religious art than anything Angel Studios will ever cough up.

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

well it's here. now what am i supposed to do with it

I hope we're not further disappointed with news that KLARA AND THE SUN has been accidentally-on-purpose deleted forever

that "Who's on First" business was really something...

I have to say, all the AMC Theater build-up about "we go to the movies to fall in love" and "movies are where we all share an experience" and "behold the magic" has a different impact when you're about to see THE DEVILS.

quite a weekend

Mixed feelings...

Sitting in a theater, about to see everything.
