The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by its frogs.
The more Embers, the more low-rent the movie. Notice the difference with the Prestige Embers...
Once you notice them you'll never unsee this. Almost every poster these days has THE EMBERS. Little upward drift of gold cinders on the bottom to indicate "action."
Signing Head Cleaners at The Mall of 'Murca. I signed that copy of Whalefall too, on behalf of the Squid Anti-Defamation League.
Great tip, @maybejed.bsky.social. Love how this scene makes Jami Gertz look like she's so mad she's throwing off sparks.
If I owned a drive-in I would play this every weekend. The plot is paper thin but just look at this thing.
Making this movie without the Blue Balls Scene is like doing JFK without the Zapruder film.
When I saw this in the theater a friend of mine said afterwards: "You know what you get when you put Ice-T and Ice Cube together? A nice cool drink."
One of these books won the Pulitzer Prize. Another one was made into a movie. And one of them has a scene where someone in a phone booth pretends to take a shower.
Important Research! After a marathon viewing with a roomful of people, all of the "Creepshow" movies have been ranked. I welcome your corrections. (includes Creepshow, Creepshow 2, and kissing cousins Tales from the Darkside and Cat's Eye)
RIP Bonnie Tyler. Here are her tapes in my Jim Steinman section. Only the import version of Speed of Night has the laser beam through her for some reason.
When I see a listing for a used copy of one of my books and it says "signed" (and it's cheap) I like to buy it and see who I signed it for and imagine complicated reasons why they got rid of it. This was one of those books.
Checking out Carmel Cutlery and the owner was super cool and pulled out a box someone had donated. Guy had retired and said, "Grandkids weren't interested." Crazy because even though they're piled up they weren't the usual "TSA Confiscated" junk. I grabbed this titanium Kizer Feist from the stash.
King of New York thumbnail trying to make it look like a heartwarming rom-com.
thanks it was a tribute to a beloved but angry pet (with thumbs)
Rare photo of the elusive Nuclear Blue Churro that my child desperately needed at the boardwalk. This is right after one bite and right before it went in the trash.
Friedkin's first pick 11 years ago in the Criterion Closet. He didn't take it with him (pun intended)
