Listen, we ALL put on Cherry Cherry after the trailer dropped, that’s not on trial here, that's the ONLY normal thing that's happened.

First time I saw the trailer I thought β€œWeird to be making a Neil Diamond biopic” but in fact? Things are weirder.

The movie where Hugh Jackman has dumb hair and sings Neil Diamond songs ISN'T a Neil Diamond biopic. Did we all know this?

The title of my next book, the 5th in the John Dies at the End series, has been leaked, by me. It will be called,

'THERE ARE NO GIANT CRABS IN THIS NOVEL: A Novel of Giant Crabs'

There is a free preview chapter in the paperback edition of I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom.

The Understudy - A Feature Film by Natalie Frost - Indiegogo An understudy is blindsided as her Chekhov play spirals into total chaos hours before curtain call.

Kaitlin Large is funding an indie movie! I don't vouch for people lightly but Kaitlin is amazing as @danielobrien.bsky.social will readily verify.

You may remember her from Kill Me Now or Rom.Com on CRACKED. If you've got the means, check out the v clever pitch!

I need to know what Bob Hoskins said to Princess Diana in front of Roger Rabbit at the London premiere of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988).
