A shortcut... to mushrooms? The Fungi Film Festival is a yearly celebration of organisms which too often end up the villain despite their essential role in our lives.
@jan_corro discusses highlights from FFF 2023: moviefail.com/mushrooms-galo…
So sad to hear about Tim Curry — and within 24h of Dolly Parton. May they both rest in peace.
Here's a lovely retrospective one of our writers did about Curry back in 2014:

Every Oscar contender seemingly has some controversy or black mark against them. Meanwhile…
For future reference, please note that we have never and will never host sponsored material on Movie Fail. That has always been our policy. Anything shared or posted to the contrary is a scam. Our site takes in no revenue from advertising or sponsorship.
Hey everyone! It's been awhile. Just a heads-up that some unauthorized access on Movie Fail led to spam making its way onto our site. Apologies for any confusion - the material has been removed and we are actively working on the situation.

I reviewed the Fungi Film Festival for @MovieFailBlog so that you can decide by yourself if the festival is for you or not.
If you are into all kinds of #fungi and experimental #cinema, then it will be!

At DiscussingFilm, we are committed to supporting the writers in their strike to achieve better pay & working conditions.
With SAG also potentially striking, it is essential that we support those on the picket line.
Share & donate to the resources we have provided below!
At Movie Fail, we support organized labor, and so of course we unequivocally stand with the WGA, SAG, and whoever else strikes for better working conditions, compensation, and other essentials.
Which side are you on?
Big congratulations to one of our contributors, Esther, for her engagement to her partner Hannah!

As a general PSA:
Movie Fail has never and will never publish any sponsored posts on our website. Our editors, writers, and everyone in between are totally volunteer. Overhead costs are paid out of pocket.
We just love movies! (And TV!)
A typically great thread from @prasokour below.
You can read his full review of Prehistoric Planet here: moviefail.com/prehistoric-pl…
One common complaint of #PrehistoricPlanet among people who aren't familiar with paleontology s that the show doesn't do a good job at explaining the reasoning/evidence for what it shows. That's true, and an unfortunate trade off of its overall format, BUT-
Unrest is a careful study of 19th century life in the Jura Mountains and a history-making struggle between anarchism and nationalism.

With #PrehistoricPlanet returning to the most-streamed shows charts, now's a good time to share my review for @MovieFailBlog

And in case you missed it, check out his excellent piece from a few years ago on the ways that The Jungle Book reached a level of fidelity with its creatures that its competitors — such as Jurassic World — have failed to manage: moviefail.com/jungle-book-su…
Prehistoric Planet eerily mimics traditional nature documentaries by hewing close to the paleontological record — but it also explores scientific imagination to wondrous effect. #dinosaurs #prehistoric
Patrick Murphy's (@prasokour) review: moviefail.com/prehistoric-pl…
The Movie Fail team stands with trans men, cis women, nonbinary folks, and everyone else who is affected by the news coming out of the Supreme Court. Reproductive justice and healthcare must be a first priority.
Science fiction films which center the white gaze obviate Black and Brown perspectives, with real world consequences. @daliadekunle explains:
