I was hoping for a more unambiguous, straightforward haunted house story but with a dog as the main character…but then I heard the director talk about his vision and realized my way would have just been a gimmick. I’ve been thinking about that movie for days.

Re: a previous post: This former Eisner judge has harassed another former Eisner judge (and others) for years. He tries to force interactions, won’t take no for an answer, and was fired from his job last month. Despite us blocking him, he has again reappeared and followed us.

I already like 🇨🇦 #thanksgiving more than 🇺🇸 Thanksgiving; it’s a little less serious and the vibes are better, it exists instead of Cbus Day, etc.

But as a red-blooded American, I firmly believe Oct should be all spooky, all the time with no interruption from a wholesome, family holiday.

I posted a thing earlier regarding a Stan Lee signature machine, and I DID doublecheck to make sure it was true.

However upon triple-checking, I am now not so sure, so I deleted the post.

I had to check to make sure this wasn’t satire because it’s so ludicrous. Apparently this machine is at #NYCC right now
