He is right, to be fair, anyone wearing jewellery after the theatre should particularly be careful to avoid this man:

Just said β€œoh no” about some news, while doing a big yawn, so it accidentally came out sounding like the death cry from Lemmings

Movie poster for The Ugly Stepsister

The Ugly Stepsister is an astonishing piece of work, it’s on @shudder.com right now, directorial debut of Emilie Blichfeldt, with a barnstorming, Oscar-worthy performance from Lea Myren. Not an easy watch, but an essential one!

Comic strip by Stephen Collins, it begins with a nighttime city scene. In the next few panels, a mysterious figure, giant in the moonlight, walks towards us through the skyline. His feet echo "boom, boom" in the empty night.

A large title panel declares this character's name:

THE TW*T COLLECTOR. 

He stands, giant, unseen in the empty city night, wearing a big pointy hat on his head, and a sort of long smock. He is carrying a large sack in his hand. 

Slowly, he raises his arm, his arm extends, freakishly long, longer still, through the open window of a tower block. It reaches inside someone's home, and slowly withdraws, now clutching a protesting, terrified man. The man's wife comes to the window to watch his departure.

slowly, the giant raises the little man and inspectes him in his hand. After a pause, the man says "b-but I'm not a tw*t!" 

There is another pause, after which his wife, calmly from off screen, says "you are a  tw*t, dear".

The Tw*t Collector summarily throws the man in his bag, which we now see is full of screaming people and is labelled TW*TS, then stomps off into the distance, through the moonlit city.

Saw the new Superman last night, and LOVED it- a proper script, filled with joy and hope, just like it should be. I predict this will increase takings the 2nd weekend as word spreads. Can’t wait to see it again. Thank you @jamesgunn.bsky.social

Thank you for posting these! I feel the same, it’s going to be read by a lot of people before it ever becomes a movie (if it does), so it needs to read well.
