Quick #SpookySunday craft! Gave a $20 frame the sunken ship treatment for our Creature From The Black Lagoon poster. Sadly the tiki hut is limited on wall space these days, so the big poster gets to live inside instead. #UniversalMonsters #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon #Gillman

What I’ve dubbed #CreatureFeatureSummer is winding down, so tonight I joined the #MutantFam for #TheLastDriveIn where they are fittingly exploring the horrors of the deep blue lagoon and I needed a themed drink to kick it all off.

I’m a big sucker movie promotional tie ins so of course I had to get the Happy Gilmore Meal from Subway, BUT I accidentally ordered it to a Subway in the middle of a hospital cafeteria… #YaJackass #HappyGilmore2

Don’t shoot the messenger, but dare I say this new #Superman  has all the makings of a Brendan Fraser reincarnation. Somebody get David Corenswet a Mummy!

It’s #WerewolfNight on #TheLastDriveIn so throwback to my “Werewolves of London” costume from a few years back. Im particularly proud of the wolf toe chucks and the Trader Vic’s coconut mug. @themutantfam.bsky.social @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social

Happy #FridayThe13th! Canonically Jason Vorhees was actually born on June 13th, 1946 (fellow Gemini king) so this strapping young man is 79 today. We celebrated the crystal lake killer with some blood spatter tie dying. Hope you have a killer day! 🩸 #JasonVorhees

Got the chance to attend the world premiere of #DangerousAnimals on the water in ATX yesterday! @ifcfilms.bsky.social and @shudder.com pulled out all the stops. Killer flick. Best viewed in a tube with scuba divers grabbing your feet at pivotal moments, but second best in a theater on June 6th!

Did the Jeremy Renner app ever reminisce about how he plays a cowboy with an earring and whip in P!NK’s “Trouble” music video? m.youtube.com/watch?v=mFu3...

Been keeping my mind and hands busy with lots of Tiki shed projects. Had a loose 2x12 laying around so I carved these Creature Of The Black Lagoon and Mummy with a wood burner and then used different tinted stains to color them. #CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon #TheMummy #UniversalMonsters #Tiki

My pharmacist just flashed me his Blockbuster card after seeing mine in my wallet. Feel like part of a secret rebellion in the Streaming Wars. #MakeItABlockbusterFight

Me listening to the Sinners soundtrack on repeat:

Lost & found religion at the Dogma Resurrection Tour tonight! Great seeing @thatkevinsmith.bsky.social (arguably) best film on the big screen, and Silent Bob himself was full of stories, insight, and an askew view of the world. Cheers to my many big fella brethren in hockey jerseys. #Dogma

Me trying sneak across the border:

You ever watch a movie that makes you want to make a movie? I LOVED Dave Made A Maze. An abstract love letter to imperfect art (and rightfully imperfect itself). boxd.it/9eI3tLou

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is plummeting. SpaceX’s rocket imploded. All owned by the same guy who’s now in charge of our federal government.

Finally caught Strange Darling on Paramount + and DAMN what a flick. Feels like a Miramax film of the 90s, doesn’t pull a single punch. Go in blind but I will say I loved the nonlinear format, Kyle Gallner and Willa Fitzgerald’s performances will keep you guessing.

Rest In Peace to Ms Yvonne and Charlie’s Mom from Always Sunny. The world is less bright without the most beautiful woman in Puppetland. extratv.com/2025/02/21/m...

3rd book of the year was the novelization of Pearl! As a complimentary piece of media it gives readers a lot more insight into the character’s actions. Excited to read MaXXXine next, especially since the film is so structurally different than the previous two entries. #Pearl @a24movies.bsky.social

We actually celebrated Valentines last weekend at the @texastheatre.bsky.social for @therealjoebob123.bsky.social’s Indoor Drive-In! A romantic evening filled with the King, a hillbilly mummy, and the Ramones- we even got to snag a pic with The Last Drive-In’s dynamic duo. #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam

My conspiracy theory is that the whole reason Trump is going to the Super Bowl is to get Brittany Mahomes to ambush Taylor Swift with a photo op. Essentially what Kanye was trying to pull, but Melania *might* be less naked.

Listen. This is the time to use your voice. Loud and fuckin proud. *Crave* to have the right people pissed off at you (because they are in fact, the wrong people). Trans folks, black, brown, queer folks and everyone who doesn’t fit into some pre-approved box deserve better than what we are givin.

I just finished up 11/22/63 and I really became engrossed with it. King’s ability to tap into nostalgia is one of his greatest strengths and despite the time-traveling premise that drives the action, this is a love story at its heart.

It is vital that we give big ai trillions of dollars and let them burn through billions of cubic feet of natural gas per day so that students are able to get a passing grade without having to learn anything

Everyone insisting Musk wasn’t doing a Nazi salute are playing semantic games. The Nazis who saw it for what it was were thrilled to see it and that’s all you need to know

I read 22 books this year! Not as many as last year (26) but there were some certifiable tomes strewn throughout. I embraced audiobooks more (mostly to listen to Cary Elwes), tackled more nonfiction, and even revisited some books from my teens.

Read my final book of the year, and Chizmar’s Memorials may have been my surprise favorite for 2024! Part Blair Witch, part Texas Chainsaw, with a healthy dose of Scooby Doo and Lovecraftian imagery it makes for a hearty meal, if not a tad cheesy (complimentary). @richardchizmar.bsky.social

Me reading work emails during the holidays:

Jokes on you ghosts. This Scrooge is ready to knuck and buck. 👻 💪

It was Christmas Pajama Day at school today so Etta got to break into her Xmas Eve present a little early. We got these custom Pee-wee PJs made based on some designs I drew up a few years ago! Pretty cool kid. #PeeWeesPlayhouse

With every passing year it becomes clearer that the Men In Black/21 Jump Street crossover could have saved this country.

The SmarterChild AIM scene is so heart wrenching, I haven’t stopped thinking about it. It absolutely shouldn’t work, but god it delivers.

Everybody gets a new ornament each year, and eBay came in clutch with this glass Pee-Wee Herman ornament. #DerryDaughter #PeeWeesPlayhouse

I turned our Stranger Things Halloween decoration into a display shelf in our bedroom, and somehow my wife hasn’t left me out of embarrassment. #StrangerThings

Had to replace a table leg today, and kind of ashamed how many times I had to cut that damn joint. In the end the pocket holes defeated me, but the table is sturdy (if not a little ugly)

Just read Age Of Cage! Not so much a biography of the eminent Nicolas Cage, but instead an observation of the film industry through the lens of Cage’s 40 year career. Longevity few can boast (a couple Toms aside) and a genre-spanning filmography no one would be brave enough to replicate. #NicCage

The kid made us take down all of the Halloween decorations (she’s dead to me) so we could put up the Xmas tree this weekend. Jokes on her, eBay saved the day with some awesome #UniversalMonsters glass ornaments. Scary Christmas y’all.

Just re-read Wicked, which may or may not have kicked off a rabbit hole of Oz media consumption. The renowned musical’s source material has lots of sex, terrorism, autism coded lead characters, and youth radicalization, but I love how visceral Maguire turns the technicolor world of Oz in on itself.

You can always count on Cobra Kai to deliver a bonkers battle royale kid fight, but they outdid themselves with the Sekai Taikai. May the karate kids worldwide never hire security or law enforcement 🙏 🤲

Cobra Kai will forever be silly and a little too self-serious, but I’m living for the Irish karate team (dutifully named Dublin Thunder) being essentially a bunch of teen soccer hooligans. It took a lot of restraint not to give them all a green gi

There’s not a lot to laugh at these days, but the universe still has a sliver of a sense of humor it seems haha

I absolutely love that someone backdated the #DarkUniverse announcement on Bluesky. Perfect use and I for one can’t wait to see what’s next for The Mummy and crew.

Spent the weekend trying to stay off my phone, and instead jumped head first into a tale about an emperor who radicalized a nation, and the holy war he came to regret. Ok maybe I’m projecting, but my 18th book of the year was Dune Messiah and I really enjoyed it. #Dune #HowYouDune

The kid has been demanding we either decorate for Christmas or go to the Drive-In, so I split the difference ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #Gremlins #ScaryChristmas #SundayScaryberries

Post election stress combined with Halloween decoration cleanup is the darkest timeline, but alas keeping the mind quiet and the hands busy.

I made a light box for a Mummy’s Day gift which proved increasingly more difficult at every turn. Measure twice, cut, recut, cut again and somehow still managed to mess up the poster size, but hey it all came together somehow. #TheMummy1999 #woodworking

Considering their filmography as a whole, Drive-Away Dolls and The Tragedy Of Macbeth highlight the interesting dualities of the singular Coen brothers. Check it out but don’t watch it with your parents. Or your kids. Ha. ★★★½ review of Drive-Away Dolls boxd.it/5XePYZ

How can one person be *this* bad at Donkey Kong Country? Also how in the world did we play games with this short of cords growing up? #tvcabinet #nintendo

As an early Christmas present my brother surprised me with the legs to the TV cabinet I’ve been restoring! These were so wrecked by water damage that he had to completely recreate them (which is quite a bit outside of my skill set haha). Really brings the room together!

Twitter is down… so in other news back into Bluesky!

A few of our past lewks for #StrangerThingsDay
