Hey, if you're thinking about subscribing to my new efforts at Ghost, this is the week I need you to do it.

The doors are open and the Ghost era is beginning. If you were reluctant because of Substack, please show me I made the right choice by moving.

I’m absolutely heartbroken.

Along with Olivia de Havilland, my favorite screen actress of all time.

Mr. del Toro you have an open invitation to come on Screen Drafts with a buddy and competitively / collaboratively rank the best Will Ferrell movies (or John C. Reilly or Richard Jenkins or Mary Steenburgen or literally anybody or thing else)

Guillermo del Toro @realgdt.bsky.social · 6d

Was completely on purpose

Ghoulian Singleton 🎃 @juliansingleton.bsky.social · 6d

Threw on the new Criterion of NIGHTMARE ALLEY 2021 and forgot that the reappearance of Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen makes this the Catalina Wine Mixer of Guillermo Del Toro's oeuvre.
