It was incredibly moving to walk among the Warner’s Archives. You wouldn’t believe the riches! Thank you @tcmtv.bsky.social and @eddiemuller.bsky.social for this rare treat. I’ll talk Barbara Stanwyck any day.

Took the whole month, but I drank my way through the entire Nightmare on Wall Street menu at @navystrengthseattle. Pictured: the Roman Ritual, inspired by THE OMEN, and the Dream Warrior, based obviously on NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3.

BLUE MOON is a captivating, small miracle of a movie. It's even more astonishing to watch Ethan Hawke's revelatory turn as Lorenz Hart while in the midst of his polar-opposite performance in FX's THE LOWDOWN.

Hit opening weekend at Navy Strength's annual Halloween pop-up Nightmare on Wall Street in Seattle. Had fantastic cocktails inspired by CANDYMAN (1992/2021) and THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991).
Also, this may be related to a book project I may be announcing shortly.
