First panel: A pizza guy in a backward baseball cap is holding two pizza boxes outside. Second panel: The pizza guy is grabbed by a giant tentacle from out of panel, the pizzas go flying. Third panel: The tentacle monster is standing next to the ghost with the mustache and lets out a little burp. First panel: A double-sized panel showing the squid creature at the far left and a small white ghost emerging wearing a backward baseball cap, and a large black scary looking fanged ghost emerging to devour him. Second panel: Concerned, the large ghost looks down at the small ghost and asks, "anything?" the small ghost responds, "nope." The large ghost again asks, "nothing?" First panel: A spiky-haired ghost floats against a pale yellow sky background. He says, "Ghosts. Zombies. Vampires. What do you think would be the coolest thing to run into next." Second panel: The ghost and a zombie stare at each other silently. Third panel: The ghost says, "I sometimes forget that you're not much of a conversationalist." First panel: A zombie and a ghost are entering the woods. The ghost says, "I dunno, I think it would be cool to meet a werewolf..." a red eeyed shadow lurks in the background. Second panel: The ghost continues, "... or bigfoot..." Third panel: The ghost concludes, "... or a giant lake monster." The red eyes continue to lurk.

I just got around to watching The Banshees of Inisherin a couple weeks ago and it has been rattling around my brain ever since.

So good.

What was the last movie that made you go, "oh, I think this may be one of my favorite movies?"

You're never going to find that one thing that's going to change everything for the better, but... I did just pick up an outdoor ping pong table this weekend.

Unintentionally ended up watching two bank robbery movies today and those two bank robbers could not have been more different.

Robert Pattinson in Good Time, followed by Robert Redford in The Old Man & The Gun.

I hate having emotions about reality; I’d much rather have them about Sanctuary Moon.

A coworker posted something about Thanksgiving coming up next week to the Teams chat, and felt the need to include that he ran it through AI prior to posting. One piece of feedback he got was that the story was inoffensive, which is a blindspot because I find the use of AI REALLY FUCKING OFFENSIVE.

If you don't like seeing the world's worst people never brought to justice while amassing unbelievable wealth, I urge you to stop reading the news.

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --
Don't put down your own work. Plenty of people want to devalue you and the things you Make. Don't help them do it.

My daughter has an ear for music and I will never not be baffled by where she got it from.

I got asked if I want to pitch on (another) major franchise reboot at Paramount. I replied saying that I can't in good conscience work for a guy who is currently sitting down to dinner with Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Mohammed bin Salman. Maybe I'm my own worst enemy, but... fuck to the no.

I've been making a concerted effort to catch up on some movies I've really been meaning to watch, and it is bonkers how many good movies I've seen recently.

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

Was listening to old movie reviews over the weekend and was struck with the idea that the response to the Oppenheimer movie has apparently been, "and you too can become death, destroyer of worlds."

Question 12:
What book(s) are you reading right now?

Are you actually reading it or is it sitting there being mentally catalogued as in progress but you keep not getting around to it?
