Anyone on #auspol got the image for reference? Can’t find the bloody thing

I endorse this cover version of the John Howard-Peter Costello pic. With two equally loathesome individuals no less

There's a frequent whodunit trope that dates back to Christie :

3. Final reveal! Psych! The obvious person was guilty all along!

The posts of people I have chosen, presented in reverse chronological order.
That's it.

YouTube video by CINEMA-PORTAL Addicted to Love (1997) scene with Matheson The food critic who accidentally eats a cockroach

RIP Tchéky Karyo. I am very fond of ADDICTED TO LOVE (1997) in which Meg Ryan is trying to break up his new relationship with Matthew Broderick's ex-girlfriend & they both turn into evil stalkers. Possibly the most mean-spirited rom-com ever made, taps into Ryan's dark side. Of course it flopped.

365 days. 150 interviews. 256,000 words (to be cut down in the coming months). I've finally come to the end of the road. And in 2027 you get to read it all. WELCOME, BOILS AND GHOULS: THE COMPLETE ORAL HISTORY OF TALES FROM THE CRYPT.

Happy Halloween!

I went long with Freddy himself, Robert Englund, for Letterboxd. Surreal to have him do the voice at you. You can read it below. Yes, I ask him about killing Burt Reynolds onscreen, don’t worry.

HELLO SIDNEY. DO U CONDEMN THE ACTIONS OF HAMAS

A rare new post to my blog marks the 5th anniversary of the Zoom live read of CRISIS ON INFINITE TEEN DRAMAS. It might be my favorite creative experience.

Say it loud, say it proud. Scream 7 can get fucked

I loved Halloween Kills for this very reason. It was a mirror. Not a spooky funhouse mirror. Just a plain old “this is who we are and where we’re at” mirror.

Calling the person responsible for this Bari Weiss seems ridiculously on the nose

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Truth

I have an idea for a show about a doctor who’s really good at being a doctor, but being human? hooo boy that throws em for a loop

Sure, they lost $11 billion in three months, but going forward, they're facing massive lawsuits for plagiarism and enabling suicide, so I'm sure they'll rally before you know it.

Feel like the Magistrate who figures people marching through a city chanting Australia for the white man and such aren’t offensive enough to warrant criminal charges might need a bit of a background check or something…

Again, the line here should be: it’s reasonable that this has upset people. I made terrible choices in the past and I take full responsibility for them. People deserve accountability from their elected officials. Here’s the things in my platform that hopefully show you I’ve changed.
