A movie poster features a bearded man in denim overalls and a red cap holding a chainsaw above his head, looking intense.

A large white and brown dog with one blue eye lies at the men’s feet. In the foreground, the back of a figure in a red plaid shirt and dark pants is visible, holding a weapon. The characters are on a forested road. At the bottom, large bold red text reads “TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL.”

This week’s #Sourdough #Bread

A freshly baked round loaf of artisan bread rests on a metal cooling rack in a kitchen. The bread has a golden-brown crust with a rustic pattern of flour-dusted lines and ridges, likely from being proofed in a banneton basket. The top is slightly cracked with a beautiful star-like scoring pattern, revealing a well-baked crust. The background shows a countertop with kitchen items including a mortar and pestle, jars, a bottle of oil, and a red stand mixer, all slightly out of focus.

Coyote vs. Acme (2026) #Watching https://letterboxd.com/imdb/tt1756855

A cartoon scene depicts Wile E. Coyote pushing a massive black bomb with a lit fuse up a steep, rocky hill at sunset. The sky is filled with warm shades of orange and yellow, fading into cooler tones at the top. The bomb is textured and has the words “COYOTE vs. ACME” on it, with “COYOTE” in white and “ACME” in bold red letters. The “O” in “COYOTE” features a silhouette of Wile E. Coyote falling with arms and legs outstretched. Small rocks tumble down the slope as the coyote struggles to push the bomb upward. At the top right, the Road Runner is partially visible, confidently watching from the edge of the hill.

Haunt (2019) #Watching #WickedWed #SpookySeason https://letterboxd.com/imdb/tt6535880

A collage of four sinister masks is shown. On the left, a fiery red and orange mask with black hollow eyes and jagged green teeth glares menacingly. In the centre, a creepy clown mask with a white face, red bulbous nose, blue eye paint, and a wide red grin dominates the frame. To the right, a blue mask with black eye holes, worn edges, and sharp yellow teeth peers out. Another blue mask with a similar style and a wide toothy grin appears in the bottom left corner. Across the masks, the word “HAUNT” is displayed in large white letters. The overall tone is dark and eerie, evoking horror and suspense.

A friend and I just watched Galaxy Quest so we had to watch this too!

Predestination (2014) #Watching https://letterboxd.com/imdb/tt2397535

A man with a serious expression and a mustache stands against a smoky, futuristic background with a glowing circular pattern radiating from his chest. He is holding a gun in one hand and has a device strapped to his wrist. In the center of the image, a silhouette of a person in a long coat and hat carrying a briefcase walks into the glowing circular pattern that resembles a portal or time-travel interface. Radiating white lines and a blue energy-like effect surround the circular pattern, giving a sci-fi and time-travel aesthetic. The word "PREDESTINATION" is displayed in bold, futuristic lettering across the middle of the image.

Watching on the train from Montreal to Toronto. Internet’s a bit choppy but the movie’s on my iPad so it’s smooth.

Shaun of the Dead (2004) #Watching https://letterboxd.com/imdb/tt0365748

A movie poster features three characters standing in the centre, surrounded by the silhouettes of red, outstretched zombie hands in the background and realistic grey zombie arms reaching in from all sides. The central figure is a man with short light brown hair, wearing a white short-sleeve shirt, a red and black striped tie, and a name tag that reads “Shaun.” He holds a wooden cricket bat in both hands. To his left, a heavyset man in a green t-shirt grips a large shovel. To his right, a blonde woman wearing a light purple shirt holds a metal chain and a bouquet of yellow flowers. At the bottom, large white distressed letters spell out “SHAUN OF THE DEAD,” with the “A” in “DEAD” shaped like a hand reaching upward. The poster’s colour scheme is dominated by red, white, and black, emphasizing the horror-comedy zombie theme.
