Seeing chatter on here about bad holiday movies. "Turkey Day" (2020) might take the cake for me. Barely meets the requirements for animation. Insipid writing. Might be AI? The plot: Dracula cancels Thanksgiving and only Santa Claus has the power to defeat him. Most of it takes place in outer space.
Dracula as he appears in the 2020 animated film "Turkey Day." He is bald and purple. Turk the Thanksgiving turkey in "Turkey Day." The Easter Bunny's brother Hodge, a big purple bunny in "Turkey Day." A shitty looking spaceship in "Turkey Day."

There's an episode of Johnny Bravo where Allyce Beasley and Curtis Armstrong guest star as themselves and put Johnny in a reality show they're making about detectives. Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis were also asked to lend their voices for a full Moonlighting reunion but it wasn't meant to be.

Prestige television? Oh, you mean like when Johnny Bravo met Luke Perry.
A still from the late '90s cartoon JOHNNY BRAVO. It's an over the shoulder shot of Johnny meeting Luke Perry on a street corner. Unlike a lot of guest stars on JOHNNY BRAVO Luke Perry is animated in a way that reflects his actual age at that time.

Happy birthday to Tina Weymouth, who once accused David Byrne of using voodoo to murder a child.

www.salon.com/2003/12/03/h...
Snippet from a 2003 Salon.com article that reads: "While we were at lunch, Weymouth announced that she had heard David Byrne was a murderer...She heard at a party that Byrne had killed a boy in Brazil using voodoo. She wanted us to play Hardy Boys and solve the case. 'David's a vampire in a way,' she told me. 'Watch out for the autism. It might be something much more complex. Psychics have seen him and they say he just has a firewall around him.'"

Happy birthday to my beautiful mother. This is my favorite picture of us together.
Faded orangey photo of me as a toddler sitting in one of those bouncy horse things with a cowboy hat on. Mom is bending down to stand kinda next to me. She is wearing a plaid skirt and a Donna Reed sweater. This photo was probably taken in 1980 or 1981.

We took a family trip to Spirit Halloween before it vanishes into the mist for another year. Jason was not exactly bowled over by the giant mutant sewer rat.

Good evening from our TROLL 2 party!
A kitchen table bathed in green light. Hanging on the window behind it is a sign that says WELCOME TO NILBOG. The table has some of the food featured in the movie, like the WELCOME cake and the corn with green crap on it.

Halloween is nigh. Why don't you celebrate by checking out these spooky books by yours truly? Gasp at the horror of New Jersey's most litigious punk band! Scream in agony over the lost versions of Ghostbusters 3! These books are available where ever witches have bubbling cauldrons!

RIP to June Lockhart, the mom from "Lassie" and "Lost in Space" who was also a huge Bowie freak (according to her co-star Bill Mumy).
Bill Mumy quote from a 2019 interview: "June is such an interesting character. She is, without a doubt, one of the smartest people I've ever met in my life. She is truly a rock & roll goddess. I swear to god. She lives for rock n' roll. In the Eighties, she carried a picture of one person in her wallet and it was David Bowie."

You guys seen the new White House? I like how there's parking up front now. And they kept some of Jackie Kennedy's garden.

Can we get a little love for THE WARLOCK, the tricked out party van featured in "Rock n' Roll High School?"

This week marks the 30th anniversary of the extremely underrated Anthrax album "Stomp 442." The next time you hear someone whining about how bad Metallica and Megadeth got in the '90s, put this shit on and drown them the fuck out.
The cover of "Stomp 442" by Anthrax. It's like this big ball of trash and there's a tiny naked man next to it for scale.

ATTN FANS OF ROCK MUSIC BOOKS

Due to circumstances beyond my control, my book MAGNUM OPUS (which is about the strange, twisted journey of GNR's "Chinese Democracy") will now be published on 1/8/26.

Here is a handy little flyer to help you remember. Ask your local book store to order it ASAP!
This is a flyer for the book MAGNUM OPUS: THE UNBELIEVABLE 15 YEAR SAGA OF GUNS N' ROSES' CHINESE DEMOCRACY that features the cover of the book and text that reads: "Finally, the full story behind Chiense Democracy in one amazing book! Being unleashed January 8th, 2026" but there are also all the old dates above that crossed out in red because I think that's funny. It also says "If the fucking world still exists!" under the new date. "The Incidents! The Money! The Bucket! My friends, we cannot keep this a secret any longer..." There is also a quote at the top of the page that says "Raw and brutally honest storytelling behind Guns N' Roses' most turbulent record." That was the assessment of the NME's Laviea Thomas, who read an advanced copy.

Somebody on reddit leaked these screenshots from an alleged restoration of the original Star Wars films Disney is working on right now. Their story is a little sus and there's lots of debate re: authenticity but I think these shots look pretty good, whatever they are.

www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLe...
Screenshot from alleged official restoration of Star Wars (1977). It is a scene of the rebel troops in the beginning preparing their defense for Imperials boarding their ship. Screenshot from alleged official restoration of Star Wars (1977). It is a desert scene of R2-D2 and C-3PO. Screenshot from alleged official restoration of The Empire Strikes Back (1980). Princess Leia and Han Solo aboard the Millennium Falcon. Han is piloting the ship and Leia is behind him, tending to C-3PO but turning her head to look at whatever is going on outside the canopy window. Screenshot from alleged official restoration of Return of The Jedi (1983). It's an overhead shot of the Sarlacc Pit. Luke is fighting a bunch of dudes on an air boat with his green lightsaber.

I gotta admit, these new Taylor Swift lyrics are pretty great.
"Welcome to 1984, Are you ready for the Third World War? You too will meet the secret police, they'll draft you and they'll jail your niece! You'll go quietly to boot camp, they'll shoot you dead, make you a man, Don't worry, it's for a cause, feeding global corporations' claws."

My forthcoming book about one of history's most delayed albums has once again been delayed. Funny, right? Anyway, on Dec 4th you be able to purchase and read MAGNUM OPUS: THE UNBELIEVABLE 15 YEAR SAGA OF GUNS N' ROSES' CHINESE DEMOCRACY and if it gets delayed again I will jump off an oil tanker!
