Since I’ve gained some new followers here not from the old place, here’s a “me” primer: 90% of the time, I will only tweet/retweet about the following subjects and people, or things adjacent to said subjects. The other 10% of the time is random snark + occasional crass comments. That’s your warning

I really don’t wanna hear about Sydney Sweeney’s good genes when this is Halle Berry at almost 60. Now this is good genes.

Finally watched #BlackPhone2 tonite. Surprised how much I dug it. Yes, it’s A Nightmare on Elm St. + a dash of The Shining, but it feels inspired by those movies instead of a bad knock off. The Grabber is scarier in this one than the first. Creepy watching this one late at nite in an empty theater

Had to wear the shirt today. “It is happening again.” (I’m just a portlier version of my 16 year old self)

Not only was Craigslist “Grindr before Grindr,” it was actually better. I said what I said.

35 years ago tonite, me & my high school friends got together to watch the episode of #TwinPeaks revealing Laura Palmer’s killer after 7 months, which seemed like an eternity back then. David Lynch’s harrowing hour of TV left us shook. Terrifying, beautiful, iconic. Packs the exact same punch now.

If this new HBO Max mockumentary docuseries with Jimmy Olsen as host is going to spend a whole season on Gorilla Grodd, there's almost no way this show doesn't stealthily introduce the DCU version of The Flash, since he's Grodd's main squeeze. nerdist.com/article/jimm...

For once, waking to breathing a sigh of relief. Especially as I’m getting married in March 👀

Happy 35th anniversary to the most iconic Greatest Hits package of all time, #Madonna’s “The Immaculate Collection,” released on November 9, 1990. It remains M’s biggest selling album at 30 million copies, and it’s still the highest selling compilation album from a solo artist, 3+ decades later. 👑

I couldn’t even have one full week — not one WEEK — to call myself “a proud democrat” and be serious about it. >sigh<

Don’t know who drew this gorgeous image of Wonder Woman (can’t make out the signature), but why these hoop earrings?? It’s giving “Night out with the girls at Florentine Gardens in Hollywood, circa 1987.” 🤣 if you’re of a certain age and grew up in Southern California, you knew this girl.

The only time the actors who portray Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, & Leatherface appeared together in costume was for a photo spread in People Magazine of all places. Almost 40 yrs later, and this is still the Mt. Rushmore of modern horror. (Maybe Ghostface replaces Leatherface tho)

Another thing I'd like to note. All four of these awesome movies have a theme in common: the power of empathy.

Well, if Funko goes under, I suppose it would be good for my wallet. 🤷♂️ It’s wild to me that they’re so close to going under when I see Loungefly backpacks literally everywhere, and they own that company. Anyway, there’s a list of Pops I really need them to make before they die. Jus’ sayin.
Funko admits “substantial doubt” it can continue as a going concern amid crashing sales and mounting debt.
The Pop! maker warns of potential loan defaults without fresh funding or a buyout, after a 14% sales drop and $250M in obligations.

“Whammy!” I’d say is solidly “Good.” But the B-52s have three other albums that legit qualify as “Masterpiece,” so I’d say that makes up for that one just being ok.

Nightwing was the most popular superhero costume this year, and pulled that off without a current movie or TV series. Dick Grayson is one of DC’s most popular heroes, and the fact that WB has never really capitalized on that with a movie or solo series is kinda baffling.

The DC KO event is kinda dumb (but still fun), but the tie ins are the best part. And Knightfight is the best so far. Dan Mora should just be allowed to draw everything. All his designs for the 4 Robins as future Batman are 🔥🔥🔥
Knightfight #1 was really good I can't wait for the next issue.
Always a big fan of seeing alternate futures in DC Comics

If this is the MCU #XMen lineup, as today's rumors suggest...I am ok with this. (Iceman supposedly has a small role, too.) We shall see. I'm also ok with everyone supposedly being teenagers/early twenty-somethings too.

My partner went to the swap meet this morning and found this Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot deck and got it for me. They’re super cute, but the Three of Swords is triggering and outright dark-sided. Real Buffy fans know why 👀
