I write weird music and read too many comic books. Sometimes I do both at the same time...

Nothing about Big Trouble in Little China should work but it all works brilliantly. Kurt Russell gives a master class in "committing to the bit."

Dear Humans,

Remember how awesome Zohran Mamdani’s campaign was? How effortlessly he destroyed his opponents whilst unapologetically championing his ideas? You can have the same thing for the presidential election if you have the courage to nominate AOC.

Please πŸ™

My favorite Monty Python line of all time is:

β€œI’ve had more gala luncheons than you’ve had hot dinners!”

If Weird Al did a parody of your song, congrats on your success.

If Weird Al does a original song in your style, congratulations, you are a badass musician who won the approval and admiration of a musician's musician.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

No revenge. Rotten fruit falls on its own. Says Skeletor wondering about his own advice here but trying to be better.

Gen X tiktok is like "who remembers the obscure sitcom Alf?"

Bro. Everyone knows Alf. Talk to me when you do a retrospective on Jennifer Slept Here, Wizards and Warriors, or Outlaws.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

What do you say to those who claim you’re not American?

I understand it’s confusing to encounter an American who can speak two different languages.

This isn't a criticism at all, btw. The movie is a masterful exploration of that tension.
