4 years since #MadGod’s World Premiere at #Locarno Film Festival.

Fond memories of warning the family next to me that it was NOT a show for children.

Hope you celebrated with midnight margaritas, #SandraBullock.

@tippettstudio.bsky.social lent some green fingers to #PracticalMagic with the vines & rose bush scene back in ‘98.

Looking forward to the new movie in 2026?

I wanted the monster to grab one of the minions and have a tug of war with it, where the victim would get picked up by one head and then wrestle with the other head for the prize.

They’d pull him until he’d pop in a big splat of blood!
