It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

I was blown away by #ParanormalActivity live onstage @ The Ahmanson theatre!
Levi Holloway’s script was fantastic, it’s truly haunting character-driven horror.
Has FX & stagecraft so good, it scared the folks next to me so badly they left @ intermission.
Run to see it before it closes on 12/7!

Excited to see the opening night of the stage version of #ParanormalActivity @ The Ahmanson!
It’s not an adaptation of the film, but rather a new tale set within its universe.
Psyched to see the creepiness translate to a live onstage experience + the stagecraft & FX!

In ‘Sentimental Value,’ Stellan Skarsgård could’ve sought revenge. Instead, he could be looking at an Oscar | CNN

What an amazing place - The Old Town Music Hall in El Segundo. Pack crowd for “Ed Wood” and a fun Q&A with Randy Haberkamp. Plus good popcorn, live organ and a sing along! Can’t wait to come back - this is a very cool theater.

There's nothing quite like reading a comic book which is 90% exposition and dialogue, yet at no point is any speaking character depicted with their mouths open or with any kind of expression on their face, and it costs seven dollars.
