Always down for a Mike Flanagan Stephen King adaptation. But I prefer he adapt a book/short story new to the big screen or rework a critical/commercial flop. Not sure the purpose of remaking some of the best King films, as he is doing with MIST and his CARRIE miniseries.

Not as familiar with Bad Bunny’s music as I am with his film performances and SNL appearances. But I loved the theatricality of his #SuperBowl Halftime Show and his celebration of Puerto Rican culture. Definitely answered his idiot critics.

That ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH #SuperBowl trailer was terrific. Maybe David Fincher can do QT.

If you’re an Austinite still in need of a reason to see IRON LUNG, please note that Markiplier shot it at Robert Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios. Not for everyone, but always great to support a production filmed here in town.
