Haven’t been to the old Regal Niagara Falls / new Dipson Capitol Theatre in almost two decades. But everyone is talking about the new PTA, so why not? #onebattleafteranother

As a conservative, I’ve always advocated for a government small enough that it could militarily occupy several American cities at the same time, against the stated wishes of local elected officials. It should also be small and nimble enough so that it can zip tie children together at 1AM.

Yup. And he still does special effects on other films now too. He worked on SCARED SHITLESS which was pretty entertaining.

Jared Mobarak @jaredmobarak.com · 10d

Yeah. I hoped PG was a one-off foray into comedy. But just saw the DEATHSTALKER trailer and it, combined with FRANKIE, makes me think I’m just deluding myself.

Jared Mobarak @jaredmobarak.com · 10d

I've officially acknowledged my love for THE VOID isn't enough to keep following Steven Kostanski’s career in hopes for another in that vein. PSYCHO GOREMAN was fine and FRANKIE FREAKO and DEATHSTALKER probably are too, but they're not for me.

Maybe Jeremy Gillespie was the one driving that bus.

It’s super easy too. I’ve masked and sprayed Covixyl for every minute I’m not in my hotel room or eating outdoors the past three TIFFs. Then I quarantine 7 days in the attic (masking elsewhere in the house) to not put my partner at risk upon returning. Neither of us have gotten COVID.

Jessica Ellis @baddestmamajama.bsky.social · 12d

Seeing multiple reports about people coming down with Covid after Fantastic Fest. Most of those people will recover okay! Statistically, however, some will get Long Covid and watch their life flip upside down. Going to a fun event shouldn’t include this risk. We HAVE to adapt to, not ignore, Covid.
