Today’s my anniversary with @onetailatatime.bsky.social and I’ve now been volunteering with rescue dogs in Chicago for 3 years. If you’ve ever thought about volunteering with rescued pets. Do it. Do it tomorrow or next week. It’s joyful for me and dogs seem to like it too. (Chad here is available)
Observing #InternationalCatDay with my little old ladies: Agatha and Cora.
I'm up in Montreal for @fantasiafestival.com this week, but you all in Chicago really should go to the Drafthouse tonight to see @tomorrowromance.bsky.social host THE STRANGE COLOR OF YOUR BODY'S TEARS. It is freaking incredible, especially on a big screen. drafthouse.com/chicago/even...
For anyone curious about current air quality in Chicago, here’s a comparison of today vs the usual.
The entire MIASMA series is on display on VHS at the Salt Shed today. You can pick them up and read everything on the covers, but don’t be the jerk that takes them home and runs the fun. #MubiFest
Some pretty fun giveaways at TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH ST CAMP MIASMA last night. #MubiFest
The world can be a strange and beautiful place. @tomorrowromance.bsky.social
For 13 years now a few friends of mine have observed a good friend’s birthday by wearing a shirt with him on it and sharing the annual photos far and wide. Tell your friends you love them. Tell them how much they mean to you. Celebrate the shit out of them. Happy birthday, Nick!
Wednesday! I’m showing the best Estonian cannibal musical I’ve ever seen. drafthouse.com/chicago/even...
This is such a minor pet peeve. But I absolutely hate it when people in movies get drenched in blood, and somehow manage to have perfectly clean skin in perfect circles around their eyes.
This week at the Chicago Drafthouse I've got THE LURE! drafthouse.com/chicago/even... And who doesn't love a Polish mermaid disco musical?
Apparently it’s National Pet Day. Like I need an excuse to share these ladies.
This Wednesday I’m showing THERE’S ALWAYS VANILLA at the Chicago Drafthouse, because you can never watch enough Romero. drafthouse.com/chicago/even...
The @nytimes.com Spelling Bee has @bosunderground.bsky.social on the brain too. Fest starts tomorrow!
A bunch of Drafthouses are showing Alex Phillips’s ANYTHING G THAT MOVES tonight, but only Chicago has me doing a Q&A with Alex after the screening. There are a few tickets left. Join us! drafthouse.com/chicago/even...
While folks are looking back at 2016, I’m going to seize the opportunity to share a photo of the time I ran a 5k fully in costume.
Coming up on Wednesday is I AM A KNIFE WITH LEGS at the Chicago Drafthouse. This brilliantly weird film played @fantasiafestival.com, Fantastic Fest, @bosunderground.bsky.social, among many others. Don’t miss this one! drafthouse.com/chicago/even...
New Year, New Weird. @tomorrowromance.bsky.social and I have some fun stuff coming your way this month. And as much as I love GREMLINS 2 and can't wait to catch PICASSO TRIGGER, my heart belongs to I AM A KNIFE WITH LEGS. Seriously, do not miss this. drafthouse.com/chicago/movi...
Happy New Year from me and my promotional wine glass from the less-than-stellar, English language remake of GOODNIGHT MOMMY starring Naomi Watts.
This is literally a month away, but I am beyond excited to have programmed I AM A KNIFE WITH LEGS at the Chicago Drafthouse on January 14th! drafthouse.com/chicago/even...
Tomorrow night! Santa slasher DON’T OPEN ‘TILL CHRISTMAS at the Chicago Drafthouse. drafthouse.com/chicago/even...
