"There are only two rules in horror. To show something that shouldn't be there and is, or something that should be there and is not." - Guillermo del Toro. From September 26, 2026 to July 25, 2027, The Horror Show at The Academy Museum celebrates horror cinema like never before.

I spent the last three days looking for our pepper shaker, growing more and more convinced that someone broke into our house and stole it for giggles. I just found it, less than an inch from where it was supposed to be but sitting on top of the peanut butter.

My wife wanted me to try her gluten-free ramen so she extended a fork full of them towards me. I put my hand under them, as one does, so they didn't drip on the table and she dumped the pile of noodles onto my palm, like that's what I wanted, with complete confidence. I love my wife.

This is moments after I informed her that she won the award for being the best girl with the most beautiful everything AND the award for being the prettiest princess in all of the land. She was quite delighted to accept her prizes (belly rubs and dog treats).

Thing about Nathan Fielder that sets him apart is that he seems to be just as shocked as you are that he gets away with the weird shit he does.

I don't understand people complaining about Zach Cregger making a film set in the world of Resident Evil instead of a film based on one of the games. If they want to experience the story of the games, play the games, they still exist. He's clearly a fan, care was clearly taken, it looks fantastic.

I was on the porch having coffee, talking to my wife when I said, "I saw a shadow move atop the rock." (It was a black squirrel) I'm a writer, I don't even say things like that when I'm writing. Be careful how fast you drink your morning coffee, it will change you.

I just passed a sign outside a defunct restaurant that advertised "All Day Canadian Breakfast & Live Bait!" And I have to say, living near one billion lakes (I know, I counted), that would've been a heck of a deal.

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.

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.

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.
