“You’re only allowed to have one fear” - my mom
We can obviously connect this to Spider-Gwen’s Peter Parking turning into The Lizard and the trans read on all of this is delightful to me

Thinking about the Leopard Man (and now I’m worried all of this paints me as a furry, I’m not “not that there’s anything wrong with that”) but I also LOVED this episode of “The Batman” where these bullied college students used Kirk Langstrom’s serum to become animal hybrids to get revenge

I think there’s something I glommed onto as a kid reading this and also “Gulliver’s Travels” where both characters develop this attribute after their ordeals where they prefer being around animals to people, even non-intelligent animals. Like their ordeal was so harrowing, but home isn’t the same

Learning the Kurosawa adapted Macbeth, and his sigil is a centipede, and it’s called THRONE OF BLOOD? delightful

I really want to do a version of Macbeth one day. There’s an occult quality to the murder story that really teeters it from a story of ambition and witches interfering.

COMMUNION genuinely feels like a waking dream that makes no sense except when you’re watching in during a lazy afternoon.

I’m okay with more mosasaur content. Used to be the only mosasaur was in that quicktime game

POLTERGEIST is such a perfect movie. That scene of the parents rolling a joint in the bed sticks in my mind forever. The horrors. They’ll be okay because they love each other.

Oh you can buy encyclopedias on CD. And why does “Database Integration” look like something from SEVERANCE. Database guru Ron Eagan

“Here is a picture of our shop.”

The about page? I think these are placeholders. “Here is where we get a chance to tell you about ourselves.” “This is where you can learn about our company and its history.” “Many customers like to know about the company…”

On a whim, I googled pope.com assuming it would lead to either an official Vatican website or a fan site. It’s a business that sells blank CDs?

Scooby Doo & The Alien Invaders ship, but I’m thinking more about the old man’s paintings. Trying to find quality stills, this suffices for my Thursday anxiety though

Remembering this movie by reflecting on the awesome Burbank Mystic Museum pop-up but then also seeing the display later on facebook market. Hope the graboid found a happy family.
