What if Pee-Wee's Playhouse were broadcast on Videodrome? This is a lot of fun.

I think Cameron has been feeding those takes into social media. The subtext of today's Variety article seemed to be "I can't believe I said I'll do two more of these. Maybe I won't have to if this one disappoints."

The strangest part of Gremlins is that the movie opens with the dad, Hoyt Axton, saying he's going to tell us the strangest story we ever heard. But he was out of town for the whole movie. Unreliable narrator!

The hottest track from the best christmas album of all time. youtu.be/mIpLlCsOkdU?...

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER Cut 20 minutes from the front end and put them in the middle so we can have more scenes with Willa and Bob and Sensei del Toro.

A small cup of very thick egg nog for dipping bacon. Call it hog nog.

Go get your own damn figgy pudding.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go...

I met Gil Gerard at a comic con 15+ years ago. I was a comics guest. There was no line at his booth ( the con had just opened for the day). Being a fan I approached and talk with him for a bit.

IT: WELCOME TO DERRY Not since the era of SW prequels have I seen a fanbase in such deep denial. Stephen King fans are contorting themselves trying to like this fundamentally bad show.

Panel 3 has such a sense of menace.

Look at this happy dork who watched Evil Dead 2 from the projection booth with the King himself (circa 1999).

WAKE UP DEAD MAN The first 20 minutes of table setting felt like homework. Probably because the characters were merely being described by a single narrator instead of introducing themselves as in the other movies. And what is up with the priest's ears?!

Whenever I see a bar with "PACKAGE GOODS" on the sign I assume it is 300 years old and sells things wrapped in cloth and twine.

Little St. Nick (Beach Boys): The refrain "Christmas comes this time each year" is a random factoid of a lyric. Who is that for? Who doesn't know that?

I don't need an HBO doc about the Super Bowl Shuffle. I need one about this... youtu.be/rtCtZ5x9EJI?...

Sunday nights used to mean something in this country.

Green Tea makes me poop shards of seaweed. It's vicious stuff.

Movie theaters forever

@philnobilejr.bsky.social when did you start moonlighting for the NYT?

"Christmas Vacation" is a terrible movie and does not deserve to be a holiday standard. Why not give yourself the gift of a good Chevy Chase movie every year? Watch "Fletch" instead.

7) "Unstoppable" (dir. Tony Scott) Quentin Tarantino is a monster.

Everyone in that cabinet meeting applauded. The guillotine is too good for them.

How did I not know that Jimmy from 28 YEARS LATER and Remmick the vampire from SINNERS are the same actor?

Too many people getting outraged about QT making a very valid comparison between Hunger Games and Battle Royale. Not enough people getting outraged that he ranks "School Of Rock" in his top 20 of the century.

The most 80's thing about Stranger Things is introducing new kids because the original cast grew up.

Some recent ink sketches of mine...

Totally psyched for the return of Vecna. #strangerthings

I just realized that Christoph Waltz plays the version of Ygor from "Ghost of Frankenstein" (1942). "You can put my brain in his body." "You're a cunning fellow Ygor. Do you think I would put your sly and sinister brain into the body of a giant? That would be a monster indeed." @realgdt.bsky.social

That Black Cauldron cover is burned into my memory.

Can't wait to catch up with Eleven and the gang for one last adventure.

Late Night with David Letterman remains the all-time best talk show (better than 11:30 Letterman). Exhibit A: youtu.be/8AWDe-bHqLQ?... Spontaneous, awkward, intimate, funny. The only other show to capture this vibe is Jon Mulaney's Everybody's In L.A.

Hot Horror Take: THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is a haunted house movie.

EDDINGTON is a long movie. It is a very, very, very long movie. Very long.

DONALD TRUMP FIVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME: Ang Lee's HULK was not appreciated by the mainstream media the way it should have been! A lot of very smart very stable people said it was INCREDIBLE. Like nothing they had ever seen before. Maybe he will make a sequel. People tell me he should.

Hot Horror Take: PSYCHO is a haunted house movie.

This Christmas eve I'm going to the grocery store and hover around the check-out line. As soon as I see someone buying a can of cranberry sauce I'm going to point and shout, "You mean YOU forgot cranberries too?!"

Every reporter in that room should rush the crown prince at once and pummel him to the floor.

Things I am hearing all the time, but never want to hear again: 1) "Baked in" (stop, it sounds gross) 2) Three or more numbers in a row. "Going back 5, 6, 7, 8 years ago." (using any more than two numbers makes your statement meaningless) 3) "Doubles down" (get a thesaurus already)

Guys, I'm starting to think that Dr. Frankenstein is actually the monster.

Five Favorite Movie Genres: 1) Horror 2) We're under siege and have to work together 3) It all happens in one night, credits roll at sunrise 4) B-flick with blunt social commentary 5) Night of The Living Dead

Do people still call them t.v. dinners or is that an old-fashioned thing?

It's a good thing I really like brownies, Mr Hungry-Man. Because cutting off that little square of film and stopping the microwave halfway through just to remove that brownie is usually too much work for a t.v. dinner.

I wish "Oppenheimer" hadn't been a hit because I had this Floppenheimer joke waiting in my back pocket.

"Enable chat with Satan" sounds like a "Snakes On A Plane" situation. They're calling ChatGPT evil? Ok, let's lean into that...

New Black Mirror episode just dropped.
