Can't wait to see this. In part, bc it sounds awesome. But also bc apparently it was made by our cat. I assumed when we couldn't find her all those times, she'd disappeared to another dimension as black cats do, but she was directing Crispin Glover in a horror movie.

I can't believe they're not just fakin'-til-they-make-it.

WTF is this?
*Googles*
Oh absolutely fucking not. Every day I learn new ways to become enraged

Automatic 1-star review if it's cut vertically - or worse, horizontally - like some kind of smoked, cured hellscape

Ah, that explains some things

A gritty reboot of the 1987 hit movie “Mannequin”

This is goddamn genius

There’s no rule that says a Golden Retriever can’t play basketball…but what if there was? Thus begins the opening lines for my screenplay “Air Bud: Class Action Attorney” and yes the dog does drink himself to death. It’s not a happy story it’s the story about how these systems crush us.
