I once attended a group dinner with Udo Kier. A smaller gathering might have given me a panic attack; his gaze was as magnetic as it was terrifying. I believe he knew this, recognized its effect on me, and amused the shit out of himself with this knowledge.

Absolutely otherworldly. RIP.

We’re crushed to hear the news that the great Udo Kier has passed at the age of 81. As iconic as he was prolific, Kier’s contributions to the genre span nearly 300 screen credits, from BLOOD FOR DRACULA to BACURAU and beyond. Our condolences go out to his friends, family and legions of fans.

Stephen King has established an entire horror multiverse in his stories. Here's how It: Welcome to Derry draws on that mythology and connects to movies like The Shining.

All the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
Take the skin and peel it back
Now doesn't that make you feel better?
The pigs have won tonight
Now they can all sleep soundly

Disallow stock buybacks for all publicly traded corporations... you know, like the laws used to be before [gestures wildly] all of this.
Air Travel could be significantly improved by the FAA stipulating three things:

* One free checked bag for all customers

* Minimum legroom set at Comfort/Premium Economy standard (which was the old pre-9/11 standard legroom)

* Disallowing stock buybacks for airlines

Every flight instantly better

I'd really like to own the shirt David Dastmalchian is wearing while giving his PornHub monologue in The Life of Chuck. I suppose It's not REALLY a monologue as Chiwetel Ejiofor interjects here and there, but Mike Flanagan is known for his monologues and that's what this feels like. #pornhub

💯 Making flying feel less like riding a bus in the air would be a great first step that's not likely to come anytime soon...
As a former travel agent & airline employee who has traveled 100s of thousands of miles, no. It won't improve shit. The problem with air travel civility is entitlement over the enshittification of flying, not the ladies in yoga pants & crop tops. Make FLYING better.
