My brother directed Candyman (the 1992 movie), and I was invited to the UK premiere. I was so terrified that I slipped out after 30 minutes. Unfortunately, I ran into my brother in the foyer, who frogmarched me back inside. But then very sweetly gave me a whispered countdown for all the jump scares.

Those aren't kosher either.
Basically I can't eat anything tasty. No bacon, no lobster, no steamed toad butts.

Oh no, that is awful. It somehow feels like a really personal loss. Annie Hall, the Godfather, Love and Death...
A wonderful actor.

Sensible advice which I try to follow

Donald Szlosek @dszlosek.bsky.social · 4d

Excellent advice on paper review:

1. Peer reviewers are volunteers.

2. Map all comments to actions.

3. Address all comments.

4. Focus on improving your paper, instead of arguing.

5. Rarely, and only with strong defense, say no.

6. Don’t take things personally.

7. Avoid recreational revisions.
