Coming soon, a reference I can't imagine landing but hey

Comic art of a desiccated corpse holding a fishing pole and wearing a suit, suspiciously reminiscent of the pose from the poster for The Great Outdoors.

Absolutely bizarre that they aren’t doing a special like this every Halloween, and that none of the characters from this one have been followed up on.

They shelve books standing up because if you stack them on top of each other the words from the books on top will leak into the lower books

That season 2 finale does not feel good at all without the promise of season 3. If Checkmate winds up essentially being that season 3 though, and happens soon, okay

I never got the Norm Macdonald jokes about Frank Stallone before but now I’ve seen The Pink Chaquitas and okay okay

Shocking cameo at end of Hellraiser 2 - they brought back the mattress mover guy from the first! To move the same mattress! And die at its mattress equivalent of hands!

Would you categorize Hellraiser as a haunted house movie? Only occurred to me on my last rewatch.

That last scene with Lisa in Silent Hill still breaks my heart.

The definition of imposter syndrome is the Hellraiser 4 director taking an Alan Smithee credit when the Hellraiser 3 director didn’t

Handed dad my phone to show him the neat new Hellraiser drawing I did and he looks and swipes to the next pic and it’s this and this is the one we talk about

Super duper rough thumbnail sketch for the Denim Devil comic, in which the eponymous Denim Devil sneaks up on a woman holding a large sex toy. The final version, I assure you, was in color.

Can confirm, trust your instincts

I was so damn worried about this massive thing and it turned out fine. I’m so glad I worried the exact right amount maybe if I double it

building a Dyson sphere around the sun is an incomprehensible undertaking. building one around the solar system is simply impossible in even the wildest sci fi projections of the future

every statement Altman and his fellow tech oligarchs make is just as preposterous

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

hi this is my favorite writing advice, it's from former simpsons writer john swartzwelder (i think about the crappy little elf all the time) www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

screengrab of a portion of new yorker interview with former simpson's writer john swartzwelder:
Mike Sacks: How much time and attention did you spend on these scripts? Another “Simpsons” writer once compared your scripts to finely tuned machines—if the wrong person mucked with them, the whole thing could blow up.
Swartzwelder: All of my time and all of my attention. It’s the only way I know how to write, darn it. But I do have a trick that makes things easier for me. Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible, putting in crap jokes and pattern dialogue—“Homer, I don’t want you to do that.” “Then I won’t do it.” Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done. It’s like a crappy little elf has snuck into my office and badly done all my work for me, and then left with a tip of his crappy hat. All I have to do from that point on is fix it. So I’ve taken a very hard job, writing, and turned it into an easy one, rewriting, overnight. I advise all writers to do their scripts and other writing this way. And be sure to send me a small royalty every time you do it.
