Tourist Trap is apparently on Shudder now. Even though it’s not Giallo, I recommend Giallo fans give it a watch: much like Profundo Russo & other pre-Suspiria Argento, it combines messy storytelling with some beautiful, surreal, and terrifying shot composition.

Android “O” will finally get new, more photorealistic emojis. Actually talking to people is not recommended anyway.
“And in this universe, we made gravity a recommendation algorithm. The particles have all the choice in the world where to go.”
