Ice Cream Man has landed and is taking a lot of heat for using genAI in scenes in the actual film (I haven't watched it yet). I think it's time for some people to realize, Eli Roth was never the horror wonder kid that everybody made him out to be. I'm sure he's nice enough, just not very talented.
(rioting in the streets, sirens blaring, everything is on fire, mushroom clouds blooming on the horizon) man, the vibes are off today

The first one was so fun and over the top and still somehow heartfelt and sweet. I'm excited for this. Also, any movie about Santa that uses the phrase "big Nick energy" in its marketing has my vote.

You odyssey these nuts. They're a tenet of ten. I wanna prestige nuts on your face. Batman begin.
One of the things I'm grateful for in this life is that I can't feel my fingernails grow. Can you imagine constantly feeling your nails grow as if you're always cutting teeth but in the ends of your fingers? No thank you to that.
When I say life is good what I mean is last night for dinner I had steak with campfire potatoes (potatoes cut almost all the way through then the slits are filled with butter and onions, the potatoes then wrapped in foil and baked for a while), a potato cooking method I never knew existed. We learn.
whistling pleasantly as we enjoy a cool, early summer morning walk, a near full moon visible in the sky. the neighborhood is peaceful: it’s still pre-dawn but sprinklers are running, birds are singing and all seems right in the world my dog: FATHER THERE ARE THREATS TO OUR SAFETY AT EVERY TURN
Of all of the profound disappointments that I have faced in my life, be they personal or professional, none is more firmly fixed in my mind, nor more likely to have caused my deeply-rooted trust issues, than the discovery at age four that Play-Doh doesn't taste the way it smells.
They stopped making ghosts just after the civil war. You’ll never see a ghost with a man bun or hitting a juul
I'm not saying she woke me up today by trying to stick her giant paw in my mouth but if that is what happened, it is fine.
Pirate: The sea has a simple set of rules - if it's hot it's a siren, if not then it's a sea monster
If I ever get drafted into the killer clown association, I hope I'm stationed at the edge of the woods or under a bed, rather than in a sewer.
I lived 41 years on this earth without hollandaise sauce, then a week ago I had hollandaise poutine and everything changed. Last night I enjoyed my first eggs benedict. Why did the people in my life let me live like this? Why did the world keep this secret from me? Obnoxious.
So you're telling me, you have the first verified bigfoot and have done DNA testing to prove that it's real and the only photo you can show us is STILL the most LG flip phone camera image quality I've ever seen? Go off fam.

I had all but given up hope of getting to see a great Resident Evil film in my lifetime. Some were close but this, from Zach Cregger, looks awesome.
Bloody Disgusting@bloody-disgusting.com · 2w agoFrom the mind of Zach Cregger, director of Weapons and Barbarian. The official trailer for RESIDENT EVIL has arrived. Filmed for IMAX and in theaters on September 18.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward locking in and really taking your problem to the next level
The face of a perfect girl who definitely didn't climb onto the bed this morning, belly flop, demand pets and then slowly push me out of the bed onto the floor because she wanted to steal the space on the bed. She totally didn't do that. She is innocent.
This absolute legend turns 71 today. Willam Defoe has been in so many of my favorite movies. He's incredible.
Man (or should I say He-Man) I finally watched Masters of The Universe (2026) and it is all the fantasy fun you could hope for. It was funny, smart, and the action was incredible. It was eye-candy wrapped in joy. I loved it.
Taco Bell has only ever wanted the best (crunchwrap supreme) for us. Taco Bell has only ever wanted us to thrive (eat crunchwrap supremes). I will never stop loving Taco Bell.
I know a lot of people have stopped paying attention to labubus which is fine but there is an important update: the newest ones have hair for some reason and look like hardworking divorced mothers from the 90s.
This one guy is jealous of this other guy's magic trick and makes it his whole personality. (I have too many favorites but this is definitely top 10. David Bowie alone...)

I genuinely had such a lovely birthday this year. Thank you all for the birthday wishes! 💜
Spent the eve of my birthday eating chocolate ice cream and rewatching Kill Bill: Volume 1 with my husband which is the correct and right way to spend a birthday eve.
Today marks another trip around the sun for my best friend and my wife (I'm very lucky they are the same person) @roxiqt.com. She is the kindest, funniest, smartest, sweetest person I've ever met. She deserves the world and I hope you all join me in wishing her the happiest birthday. 💚
