You provide the dinero, I’ll bring my Camaro…

Chicago. The world loves their music. I don’t.

I hear that. I miss Joey Ramone

Country music—Alan Jackson, George Strait, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, Shania, Reba, and my favorite: Patty Loveless.

Thinking about music tonight. Missing the Beastie Boys. Jim Croce. That guy Adam Schesinger from Fountains of Wayne. “Hey, Julie, look what they're doin’ to me…”

The guy just said, “Egypt for the Egyptians!”

No, I screwed up. I cry your pardon.

It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

Totally.

Oh wait. I f*cked up. This ain’t the Liz Taylor version. Claude Rains is playing Caesar, and most of the Romans look like a Spinal Tap tribute band.

I’m watching CLEOPATRA on TCM. All the Romans and Egyptians seem to have British accents.waiting for Liz, to find out if she sounds Americano.

I’m bummed.

Episode 3 of WELCOME TO DERRY ratchets up the horror. As Nigel Tufnel would say, "This one goes to eleven."

He was just mad because someone else was getting the attention due to him.

Episode 2 of #ITWelcomeToDerry is now streaming on HBO Max, and you can catch episode 3 on Sunday.

Airports should hire stand up comedians to work at TSA lines: “Hey, buddy, cargo pants are now considered a carry-on item. I’m kidding. I’ll be here all week. The way this line is moving, so will you.”

Episode 2 of #ITWelcomeToDerry is now streaming on HBO Max, and you can catch episode 3 on Sunday.

Harry Truman: If it benefits all the people, they call it socialism.

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

Does anybody besides me remember Bud Levitt, who used to write about wildlife and hunting in the Bangor Daily News?

I know he's my kid, so take it with a grain of salt if you wanna, but KING SORROW is one of the best terror tomes I've ever read. It's the GONE WITH THE WIND of horror! 🎃

Don't miss an early release of Episode 2 on Halloween. Episode 1 of #ITWelcomeToDerry is now streaming. #HappyHalloween

She's talkin' about KING SORROW.

Haven’t looked at the part titles that closely yet, but I’m halfway through and this might be my favorite book of all time

Mark Z. Danielewski's novel, TOM'S CROSSING, is published today. Set in the Utah mountains, it's a chase story...and as close to the Great American Novel as you're ever going to get.

If you've bought Joe Hill's wonderful and immersive novel KING SORROW, you might look at the part titles. They have something in common.

Need some Steve King for Halloween? Gotcha covered. THE INSTITUTE (MGM + thru AMAZON PRIME) 1922 (Netflix) GERALD'S GAME (Netflix) LISEY'S STORY (Apple+) And tonight: IT: WELCOME TO DERRY (HBO) You can find other stuff, too. If you're brave enough.

#ITWelcomeToDerry premieres tomorrow at 9pm on HBO Max.

#ITWelcomeToDerry premieres Sunday at 9pm on HBO Max.

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (Netflix): Terrifying, especially given the unprincipled, waffling nitwit in the White House.

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

No need to go far. #TheLongWalk comes home October 21.

No Kings Day message to Trump: Other than your coterie of ass-kissers, nobody likes you.

Two books for spooky season: COFFIN MOON, Keith Rosson: Best modern vampire story ever (although it's set in the 70s). THE TWISTED ONES, by T. Kingfisher: It lures you in with chatty good humor (especially about NPR Pledge Week) and a lovely dog...then slams the door and bites you in the dark.

Trump: The gretest con man in American history.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

SALEM'S LOT turns 50 as of today. Didn't know until my pal (and co-writer) Rich Chizmar told me.

Run. #ITWelcomeToDerry premieres October 26 on HBO Max.

Jack Bryan on Threads talks about how Frank Sinatra saved Don Rickles's life. Rickles said, "Some goons were beating me up. Frank comes over and says, 'Okay, guys, that's enough.'" Bryan says--with some truth--that he remembered that anecdote when Trump hogged the credit for ending the war in Gaza.

Play the game or the game plays you. Watch the New Trailer for The #RunningManMovie – Only in theatres November 14

The new trailer for THE RUNNING MAN is up. My IT guy will post it. I don't "get" posting on Bluesky. That's okay. I've seen the movie, and it's a balls-to-the-wall thrill ride. The feel is like a modern-day DIE HARD.

Trump (eyes rolling back and forth in their sockets, muttering): I have enemies. They are everywhere. [Voice raises to a shout] ENEMIES EVERYWHERE! CUT THEM OUT! ROOT AND BRANCH! CUT THEM OWWWT!

WELCOME TO DERRY is amazing. First episode is terrifying.

I liked THE PITT, didn't care so much for ADOLESCENCE, haven't gotten to THE STUDIO.

Yes, great.

There are lots of good dramas on streaming TV. We really do live in a golden age. But TASK (HBO) has one thing many of the others lack: Soul.
