Thunder? In LA?

Really?

Did Paramount strike down Comcast to take WBD?

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Have you ever wondered where L.A. icons shop?

I’ve got theories…

Sorry to hear that amigo

Writer-director @rianjohnson.bsky.social chats to the crowd before the #WakeUpDeadMan premiere @academymuseum.bsky.social & it’s awesome!

Rian’s script is fantastic, as is his direction + great performances & the filmmaking was on 🔥

This ascends to new heights for the series - go see it next week!

And for the record - this takes place in the Paranormal Activity universe, but is in no way a remake of any of the previous films.

The script is so great that it would actually make a cool new film, but I just don’t know if they would do that.

I was blown away by #ParanormalActivity live onstage @ The Ahmanson theatre!

Levi Holloway’s script was fantastic, it’s truly haunting character-driven horror.

Has FX & stagecraft so good, it scared the folks next to me so badly they left @ intermission.

Run to see it before it closes on 12/7!

Excited to see the opening night of the stage version of #ParanormalActivity @ The Ahmanson!

It’s not an adaptation of the film, but rather a new tale set within its universe.

Psyched to see the creepiness translate to a live onstage experience + the stagecraft & FX!

There's nothing quite like reading a comic book which is 90% exposition and dialogue, yet at no point is any speaking character depicted with their mouths open or with any kind of expression on their face, and it costs seven dollars.
