"don't let the bedbugs bite" implies both the existence of bedbugs and the responsibility on the sleeper to remain ever-alert against their onslaught and I guess what I'm saying is maybe it isn't a helpful thing to say to a child at bedtime

Laughed so hard when Junglepussy was introduced as "Junglepussy" in OBAA and the people around me definitely just thought I had the absolute dumbest sense of humor (I mean I do, but c'mon)

"Hail St. Nick" might be the funniest shit ever written

Honored to contribute a short story along with so many wonderfully talented writers. And my little story grew into a sequel (of sorts) to one of my earliest movies... I hope you enjoy.

Look it's very simple math — if we don't make sure poor kids can't get vaccinated and can't drink Mountain Dew, we won't have enough money to help our rich friends do genocide

Excerpt from my story "Hi, Strangeness."

Did a thing! Pretty fucking excited. Haunted Reels 2 out now from Dark Matter.

I guess I thought a drone show would still maybe look cool if I wasn't sitting directly in front of them

Alas, I am a dumb bitch

Real Kurt Russell shooting free throws in front of a firing squad energy this 4th of J.

The lack of love I've seen for ATTACK THE BLOCK on everyone's lists is unforgivable

Blackout drunk at a dive bar as I try to light the karaoke songbook on fire with a dead lighter: "I'm singing Mothra's Song from Ebirah Horror of the Deep, I don't give a goddamn 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬."

It is exceedingly strange to me how few people have seen the very good sequel to 2001 that stars Helen Mirren, Roy Scheider, John Lithgow, and Bob Balaban

New Mclusky hoooooly shit

Luca Guadagnino is the Giannis Antetokounmpo of film and no I won't clarify

CHALLENGERS getting shut out feels kinda crazy

Love all my trans friends dearly, and if you aren’t my friend, I love you too

Hi. Yes, "good afternoon." Sure. One cup of primordial soup please.

As a baseball fan and movie weirdo who lives in Milwaukee, losing Bob Uecker and David Lynch in one day is a spiritual sledgehammer to the spine

If there's a word in any language that's more fun to say than cacahuates, I don't know it

Haven't seen some big ones yet that I think I'll probably dig (THE SUBSTANCE, THE BRUTALIST, ANORA, NICKEL BOYS, DIDI) but here are some things I loved in 2024:

The journey of Divine to Sturges to Russ Meyer to RIVER'S EDGE has been A Trip. Closing out a batshit 2024 on a series of suitably batshit notes.

(also these movies all fucking riiiiiiiiiiip)

Sesame Street Writer's Room, 1998:
"What about a guy named Mr. Noodle and his whole thing is like he's a mime who's so fucking dumb? Like, so so dumb."

Unfortunately being a massive Paul Verhoeven fan perfectly prepares you for living in modern America

The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

Between Owen Wilson, Brian Cox, Mercedes Ruehl, Janeane Garofalo, Dwight Yoakam, Dennis Haysbert, Meg Foster, and John Carroll Lynch, THE MINUS MAN really has The Goods™, huh?

A casual "Linklater does TWIN PEAKS" serial killer fuckabout that doesn't care about your expectations.

It's great.

Tony Todd was one of the first industry people to really respond to my work and he was so kind about my writing. Tony was generous and engaging, elevating the material every time he stepped into frame.

CANDYMAN is rightfully iconic, but Savini's NOTLD is my favorite of his performances.

RIP.

Got hyped af for new Andre 3000 dropping and just found out it's an 87-minute(!) experimental(!!) flute(!!!) album and now I'm faced with a very difficult decision regarding my normal policy of hungrily consuming all things Three Stacks
