The SHOCKER 4K UHD looks amazing. It's always hilarious to me when the junkiest movies offer the most striking improvement over Blu. Halloween 5 is exquisite, for example.

Bless your heart! Someone would have to drink an entire bar before being loaded enough to think I could even pass as his photo double for background shots.

A dude behind me at the bar for the Saturn Awards saw me paying and said "Oh man, if they're not even giving YOU drinks for free I sure as hell don't have a chance." I wonder who he thought I was.

The Bride = amazing!! Why there’s not a line around every block to catch a Great Gatsby meets the untouchables 30s-set, monster-lovers on the run story filled with righteous feminist fury and exuberant dance numbers is beyond me.

Because of my horror writing gig I have met almost all of my heroes. Carpenter, Craven, Romero, Barker... the titans!

Never once did I get as starstruck as I just did when I saw Rhea Seehorn standing a few feet away. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Duolingo has music and most of the songs are like old standards or r&b hits and I usually do OK but out of nowhere they put in Crossfade's divorced dad rock anthem "Cold" and I got my first ever perfect score. I am in tune with my sad boys.

Wait I remember posing with Michael Myers and my Chevy standee. So I have pics with non sentient people.

Taking an hour away of International Women's Day in this day and age is a little on the nose, I think. But I hope they all have an amazing one, anyway.

Haha I always want to see some completely way off Sunday numbers. Like we as a people decide to prove them wrong.

A cupcake with me and my friend's faces on it, and the candle is right through my eye.

The only pic I took of my birthday party, because the candle was put right through my eye and I figured it might end up being some Final Destination-style foreshadowing.

Just watched an episode of Simpsons where Bart says banana Runts are the worst ones and I don't think he has ever been more wrong about anything in 30 whatever years.

There was a guy at the bar last night who looked like a young Ted Cruz and I pointed it out to a friend who then informed me he was another friend's date and this is why you should never invite me anywhere.

One thing to think about is that both of them are dead (as is Chris Cornell, who did his own excellent cover). So I'm all for them being associated with this song.

A very specific form of FOMO where you solve the Connections without detecting the fake category.

"Maybe I was a little too harsh on that person. It's not like I am perfect, myself."

Seems Like Old Times actually sold more tickets than Caddyshack that year, though obviously the latter endured more. Still: 1980 audiences were correct, IMO.

It hasn't really made much sense since Scream 3, when they were making a third film despite the fact that no third event had happened. So was the actual/eventual Stab 3 about itself?

Weirdly, also a Strangers. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in the original Strangers 2 but also in the interminable Bandits.

Did they make Stabs based on the Tara and Sam ones?

Just heard the word mishandled pronounced "Mih-SHAN-dled" and I may be thinking about it for the rest of the day.
