I've always wanted to read SHOOTER, the violent book of pulp-smut that Sharon Stone's character writes in BASIC INSTINCT, so for @BWDR's Neo-Noir 2024 issue...I wrote it. Horny, deranged erotica as film criticism, or vice versa. Art by @bturnerinfo. brightwalldarkroom.com/2024/12/06/exc…

Does anyone know the button combo for the HELLRAISER III: HELL ON EARTH finishing move.

Happy 44th bday to Brian De Palma's BLOW OUT. I wrote about it for @BWDR. “BLOW OUT is when the split in the screen between his early films & the sleaze-noir terror of his erotic thrillers fell, merging in a Zaprudic interrogation of our need cinema.” brightwalldarkroom.com/2021/11/03/a-s…

Sorry to be such a WHORE about it, but I’m really proud of this piece I wrote about BASIC INSTINCT for @BWDR, in which I leer at Paul Verhoeven’s 1992 erotic thriller via the lens of the violent porno-smut novel-within-the-film, SHOOTER. 🎨: @bturnerinfo brightwalldarkroom.com/2024/12/06/exc…
