According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true.

I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had.

I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

the AT&T-->Time Warner-->Discovery series of media mergers were some of the most pointless and disastrous business exercises ever conceived by man

so of course we're going to do it again

this time it's rumored they want $60 billion to sell this mess to Larry Ellison and whatever's left of CBS

Warner Bros. Discovery puts itself up for sale

The announcement comes after WBD previously said it would split in two.

I guess as a piece of film history, yes. But I would recommend keeping your entertainment expectations low.

The only thing it has in common with this movie is that there's a toolbox. 😄 I mean that literally!

That was fun and weird. And made no sense most of the time. 😂 Is it worth it to check out the original film? I haven't seen it either. #Frightclub #Toolboxmurders

I don't think every killer needs a backstory, but I feel like this one does

And they were probably planning on getting into it in the second film, but, well

Thanks #FrightClub!
