If you happen to kiss a special someone under mistletoe this holiday season, be sure to look them in the eye and say “That one was for Burl Ives.”

He wishes he could play the mamba.

I would watch this show.

Let’s not forget when he suggested that Stephen King had taken the idea for “It” from Wes Craven and “Nightmare on Elm Street.”

It is possible to know too much about your favorite movie boogeymen.

I’m a big fan of “The Night Wire.” I don’t think you’ve shared that one yet.

A thneed is a fine something that all people need.

No Mothman? The kids today…

That’s the only way to get through all the books.

Sorry, gramma. You’re *just* outside the gift radius. Hold on to next year.

I just love the idea of someone having a special pair of pants that they relieve themselves in whenever they go see a scary movie.

Saw a horror movie recommended online by a guy saying “I hope you have your shitting pants on!”

“What are you gonna do now, Mr Ness?”

“I think I’ll have a sandwich.”

My Igor: A Short Story Despite what the hype and film schools and how-to books and big-time directors may say, being an indie filmmaker sucks. You’re not an “artist,” you’re a beggar. You’re begging for time, you’re begging for money, hell, you’re even begging for food sometimes. It’s humiliating and pathetic. There’s only one reason I still do it and that’s because of Cokely. Every filmmaker should have a guy like Cokely on their crew.

Me: Hey, what’s going on with that interstellar comet?

[searches social media]

Me: Oh FFS…

Yet I’m reading a book on the American Revolution where one of the participants in the war couldn’t help but compare his situation to scenes from Shakespeare. I wonder if his contemporaries gave him shit about that. 2/2

One of the great things about reading history is to be reminded how human nature rarely changes very much. Ive seen criticisms of modern people being too media addled to accept the harsh realities of the world, seeing real life events in comparison to movies or video games. 1/2

My pitch for the Beverly Hillbillies reboot involves the Clampetts cutting a check to partially fund the US military and then going after Mr. Drysdale.

Dolby Atmos is cool and all but try having raccoons suddenly run across your roof while you’re watching a horror movie.

Amongst the other outrages of our world, fans of MeTV are apparently incredibly angry about Everybody Loves Raymond getting added to the lineup. My Facebook algorithm is keeping me up on the latest.

This book was in the waiting room of my childhood doctor and I looked at this page *a lot.*

Kid: (for the millionth time) Six seven…

The heroes all make eye contact at the same time.

Hero: My god… they’re coordinates!

Is there a reliable place online to get information about 3I/ATLAS? Learning about big cosmic objects on their own terms is interesting, but everything I see involves alien invasion.

Wife is helping teen daughter shoot her video project today. How’s it going, you ask?

Wife (behind camera): Action!

Daughter (tense): You don’t call action. I do.

Exactly. Conspiracies used to be fun, damn it! Though it’s fun to listen to them point out the grifters that popped up again and again on In Search Of.

I’ve been listening to this show for awhile. It’s great!

Keep an eye out for Bruce Willis as an extra in the courtroom!

Gollum goes to a beach town and solves some murder mysteries.

One of those things that’s 100x harder than it seems.
