The best part of THE CREEP TAPES is Mark Duplass' urge to remind people about dumb things that happened (sex tapes) and then deliver incredible lines ("Tommy Lee's sex tape." "TOMMY LEE JONES HAS A SEX TAPE?!? YOU'D THINK THAT'D BE BIGGER NEWS!")

I realized after only three films could technically fall under getting any box office and one of them absolutely is not being released until 2027. And another goes streaming free within a week. This and showing up with White Russians to job interviews is why I'm not doing box office reporting

My old tolerance emerges in strange ways as I was talked out of seeing a film based on a documentary I could watch in 420p instead and then a two hour video of three people shitposting a song together to clown on the Ed Sheeran guitar center shitshow

the one great thing Control/Control Resonant takes from Twin Peaks is the idea a government organization will be there to help. And then everything goes to shit and there's flying magic radios everywhere and everyone is terrified and we barely can get barricades set up around the giant monsters

The second most horrifying part in The History of Concrete is realizing all those dark marks on the sidewalk are gum. The first remains the memorial service. That’s like supervillain-level horrifying.
