I'm about to watch this film right now (at home on Blu-Ray, not the theater)!

I assume the entire Top 40 is all death metal.

What a freak of nature. Everyone knows these things are supposed to have three heads.

The whole world needs to read Derf Backderf's Kent State graphic novel. It's a vital work that really drops the reader into what happened, and how it happened. It's meticulously researched and will inform you as much about today as it does about this historical event.

I guess this makes you a ghost writer.

Oh no, my favorite song is called "Facebook won't work out for Ryan Dunlavey." Why would somebody write a song like that?!?! This is not helpful at all!

If they work for Andrew Cuomo, they don't mind that alternative.

I'm a bit late to posting this, but @goatsflyingpress.com are really, really good at making things and fulfilling Kickstarters. All this stuff I got from them is awesome.

My hardcover copy of Lake Yellowwood Slaughter from Goats Flying Press, featuring the a collage depicting the killer and presumably two victims along with a closeup of a knife. It features the tagline "When the kids are away...the grown-ups are prey!" Also pictured are a postcard with the drawing of a winged goat and a replica of a Pavilion Cinema movie ticket.

The signed bookplate inside my copy of Lake Yellowwood Slaughter, signed by creators Gavin Guidry and Alejandro Arbona. Apparently, I got copy number 68 out of 250. Not bad!

He died when he got stung by a bunch of bees because he was really allergic.

The way they were executing it wasn't great, though, with Mr. Hyde as the Nick Fury of a SHIELD-type of monster hunting organization or somesuch.

I see a lot of posts and articles online about how "such and such decent 90's film is a misunderstood classic!" or "this forgotten film should be re-assessed," but really the issue is that mainstream filmmaking has degraded so badly that the basic mediocrities of the past look better today.

This was the first album to come out after the start of my Rush fandom, which started in earnest earlier that summer (though I was aware of them before this because my brother was a big fan).

What is a "Superhelter?"

The tile for Marvel's "The Punisher" on Hulu, featuring a thumbnail of Jon Bernthal as lead character Frank Castle in a police mugshot atop text that reads "For Superhelter Fans."

It's always fun to see the pictures every year.

It makes it so easy. I don't even have to think about it.

Happy Birthday @danmcdaid.bsky.social!

Hell yes. In general, Reds should be talked about a lot more than it is, Diane Keaton was incredible in it.

My favorite performance of hers is-- not surprisingly given the book I'm currently finishing-- as the powerful, enigmatic, difficult, reporter and critic Louise Bryant in REDS. I think she steals the film. No easy feat with Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson as co-stars.
