Smithers lies to Monty Burns that his boos are people chanting “Boo-urns.”

“Uh, no, when you were on the roof they were shouting ‘Trump! Trump!”

i'm in a bit of a financial crisis right now, kinda dire. i don't want to get into the whole story, but i need to come up with at least $500 relatively quickly or things are going to suck more than they already do. i've had so much financial drain in the past three months 1/

On this day in Horror History, THE BLOB was released in 1988.

Gender, Genre and the Ghosts of "Crimson Peak" - Rue Morgue CRIMSON PEAK remains Guillermo Del Toro's crowning achievements of subversion.

Was dusting off old writing I’ve done and this piece for @ruemorguemag.bsky.social on CRIMSON PEAK remains one of my favorite things I’ve ever written, and I’m generally not very complimentary on that front 👻✒️

Hey y’all, so after paying rent, some pup expenses and my debt consolidation payment today, I’ve got like $40 until payday on the 15th, so I just wanted to share the link for our eBay account as we have been adding more stuff every week. Cheers! ebay.us/m/Gxnycd

This looks like such a blast!

God, Kingston is sorely missed!

Writers: This is the most miserable man in existence. He is unable to find any lasting happiness with his large house, pool, beautiful wife, two kids, endless succession of attractive women, or his business success.

Bros: I want to be Tony Soprano. He's so amazing.

Oh no, those friend wheels have made it onto here, the bane of my fragile self-esteem 😅

1000 Women in Horror From the silent era until today, the nightmares that have haunted our screen have been sculpted and embodied by women, but many of those artists have gone....

I could have swore he died…huh, well if the suck don’t keep sucking.

*King of the Hill* Makes Its Triumphant Return With Bobby running a restaurant in Dallas and dating an SMU coed, the most Dallas show ever gets even more Dallas on August 4.

Incredibly, despite having written about television for 30 years, I have never written an entire piece about King of the Hill. I rectified that here. Special emphasis is given to the Dallas connections. www.dmagazine.com/arts-enterta...

The New York Times office was vandalized last night with red paint and spray paint saying "NYT Lies, Gaza dies."

Been given the opportunity to write about one of my favorite albums 😊🤘🏻

The first 10 minutes of this show are deeply depressing.

Yeah, there’s a reason I trust my gut, every time.

Hell's Bells! We're getting to Stranger Things Summer level. This looks like the kind of.thing they make for a joke shirt. My D&D groups will freak over a d20 Marbit (Credit Markie as usual. Wish he would just make a Blue sky)

A scene from the sci-fi action film RoboCop, wherein a man who has been exposed to toxic chemicals is hit by a car, which causes him to disintegrate like a mummy made of pork trimmings wrapped in wet toilet paper. His face is visibly detaching from his body and hurtling towards the windshield. The car in question is the 6000 SUX, advertised in the film as “big”, with an MPG of about eight. From a production standpoint, it’s a ’76 Oldsmobile built up with a fiberglass exterior. This scene is arguably more iconic and widely remembered than the ultimate villain’s defeat at the end of the film, although the man being dispatched here is a relatively minor antagonist. This is largely due to the quality and spectacular nature of the practical effects in play.

RoboCop (1987), dir. Paul Verhoven, #23

Finishing up the trilogy!

America Needs Colbert The silencing of jokes and jabs on network airwaves shatters a tangible demonstration of nuanced thinking, free speech and philosophical complexity.

For all of the misappropriation of “free speech” by right-wing disphits, it would be difficult to pinpoint a more clear-cut, textbook case of censorship than a president using the powers and pressures of his office to stifle criticism and dissent. My latest, for @opinion.bloomberg.com (free link):

I wrote about Spielberg's WAR OF THE WORLDS for my ongoing horror column. This is an imperfect movie, but when it works, it's a motherfucker. It's one of the definitive movies of the 2000s for better or worse.

So I just started doing a deep dive into Black Sabbath for “reasons” this weekend & if there is one thing all metalheads/musicians agree on, it’s that heavy metal begins with Black Sabbath.

So far today…

I don’t usually write long reviews but I really wanted to talk about the Years of Lead playing a very important part in THE FIRST OMEN (imo). Been thinking about this since I watched it and noticed no one mentioned it so… I did.
