The most 80's thing about Stranger Things is introducing new kids because the original cast grew up.

Totally psyched for the return of Vecna.

I just realized that Christoph Waltz plays the version of Ygor from "Ghost of Frankenstein" (1942).
"You can put my brain in his body."
"You're a cunning fellow Ygor. Do you think I would put your sly and sinister brain into the body of a giant? That would be a monster indeed."

That Black Cauldron cover is burned into my memory.
I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.

This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

Can't wait to catch up with Eleven and the gang for one last adventure.

Late Night with David Letterman remains the all-time best talk show (better than 11:30 Letterman).
Exhibit A: youtu.be/8AWDe-bHqLQ?...
Spontaneous, awkward, intimate, funny. The only other show to capture this vibe is Jon Mulaney's Everybody's In L.A.

EDDINGTON is a long movie.
It is a very, very, very long movie.
Very long.

DONALD TRUMP FIVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME:
Ang Lee's HULK was not appreciated by the mainstream media the way it should have been! A lot of very smart very stable people said it was INCREDIBLE. Like nothing they had ever seen before. Maybe he will make a sequel. People tell me he should.
DONALD TRUMP FIVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME: You know they're saying Sylvester McCoy is an underrated Doctor, and you know, maybe there's something in it. A lot of great stories in those last years. A lot of great stories. Year four of the Cartmel years would have been something special, folks.
DONALD TRUMP FIVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME: And as you all know Mega Man Trigger is still stuck up on the moon. But it's wrong, it's a terrible thing, and Capcom should be ashamed. They should be ashamed. You know they said they were going to make a third one, but they chickened out

This Christmas eve I'm going to the grocery store and hover around the check-out line. As soon as I see someone buying a can of cranberry sauce I'm going to point and shout, "You mean YOU forgot cranberries too?!"

Every reporter in that room should rush the crown prince at once and pummel him to the floor.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Things I am hearing all the time, but never want to hear again:

1) "Baked in" (stop, it sounds gross)
2) Three or more numbers in a row. "Going back 5, 6, 7, 8 years ago." (using any more than two numbers makes your statement meaningless)
3) "Doubles down" (get a thesaurus already)

Guys, I'm starting to think that Dr. Frankenstein is actually the monster.

Do people still call them t.v. dinners or is that an old-fashioned thing?
It's a good thing I really like brownies, Mr Hungry-Man. Because cutting off that little square of film and stopping the microwave halfway through just to remove that brownie is usually too much work for a t.v. dinner.

I wish "Oppenheimer" hadn't been a hit because I had this Floppenheimer joke waiting in my back pocket.

"Enable chat with Satan" sounds like a "Snakes On A Plane" situation.
They're calling ChatGPT evil? Ok, let's lean into that...

New Black Mirror episode just dropped.
For real, check this out. Evil.

I'm less than 40 pages into this 400 page biography and already I'm shocked and scandalized. I had no idea Robert Crumb grew up in such a horrifying family. I mean, I saw the 1994 doc but that just scratches at the surface.

Always loved that Spectre cover.
And that Doom Patrol (bottom right) is a legitimate classic.
From my previous life as a cover artist for comic books. I really miss doing this kind of work. It felt more uniquely "me" than anything else I have done since.
