We are literally doomed
American High School English Teacher reads real responses from her student’s assignment after reading The Great Gatsby
We have a serious education issue in America and if we don’t address it, we have a horrible future ahead of us
These kind of responses are to be expected because 12th grade reading results in 2024 in America showed that reading levels right now the lowest they’ve ever been since the assessment began in 1992

Happy November! One of the best parts of Halloween Ends is to experience the peace and hope that comes for Laurie Strode as we move into November, away from Michael Myers and Halloween. 🍂
Personally, November is my favorite month. It’s the ideal weather; you get the last bit of Halloween, Thanksgiving and peak autumn, and the beginning of Christmas; and it’s the coziest month of the year. 🍁

Halloween Movie of the Night: HALLOWEEN ENDS (2022) 🎃🩸🔪
I love this movie so much. A true exploration of evil & how it impacts a community & an emotion, poignant & beautiful send off for one of the most iconic final girls of all time, LAURE STRODE. Halloween Ends will stand the test of time & continue to be reevaluated in the years to come.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Today is Pub Day for YULETIDE: A VERY BLACK WINTER, a holiday horror anthology for which I was lucky enough to contribute the short story “Mummer.” Available now in ebook and paperback here: amazon.com/Yuletide-Winter-P…

Angel Studios is banning on-screen sex, nudity, F-words and misusing the name of God in its movies moving forward.
“I think Hollywood generally kind of lives in a bubble. These are excellent craftsmen. They’re the best storytellers in the world. Hollywood has built the best storytelling infrastructure in the world. But at the same time, they’ve kind of drifted more and more away from the values-based audience that they used to serve,” studio co-founder Jeff Harmon told Fox news.
Angel Studios, known for films such as the hit “Sound of Freedom,” will also give its paying members a chance to vote on movies and TV shows to ensure that a majority of members approve of the content.

Applying rigid old school in-office rules in the year 2026 for people in a creative industry in an expensive terrible traffic city is a BRILLIANT idea. Nothing drives creativity like micro-managing. Inspiring stuff and a great sign that upper management knows what they are doing!

.@SCREAMwithRCS records some of the best audio commentaries out there, so if you’re looking to watch/listen to one for Halloween week, this is it.
Halloween (2018) is perhaps the single-most influential film to shape the modern SCREAM films, other horror IPs, and general slashers in the last ten years. Love it or hate it — the impact David Gordon Green’s film on the genre cannot be overstated.
New! Ep. 362 - “Halloween” (2018) Ryan’s Audio Commentary
I performed an audio commentary of “Halloween” (2018), the epic return of Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers. It’s one of my favorite audio commentaries I have ever recorded.
Listen to the public preview on Apple & Spotify, and subscribe to hear the full audio commentary.

If you like animation, go watch Wildwood. If you like Lord of the Rings, go watch Wildwood. If you like Chronicles of Narnia, go watch Wildwood. If you like fairytales, go watch Wildwood. If you like movies, go watch Wildwood. If you hate AI, GO WATCH WILDWOOD!!!!
This is incredibly accurate. #Clayface
I found CLAYFACE implausible by the five-minute mark when our lead is in Los Angeles filming a movie in the broad daylight when the Oscar nominations are announced (which we all know is at 5:30am PST).
When the new broke yesterday that great character actor Tom Skerritt had passed away at age 93, the first film that came to mind for a select handful of us was POLTERGEIST III. Those are my people.
CLAYFACE is, sadly, skin-deep. letterboxd.com/dustinputman/…
Critics be crazy; Taika Waititi’s KLARA AND THE SUN is a wise and whimsical winner. letterboxd.com/dustinputman/…
So far it has been announced Lea Michele, Heather Morris, and Chord Overstreet are returning for the GLEE reboot. Who’s next?!
