A few weeks ago, I discovered that there is a German edition of my Spider-Man book. This is actually the second international edition of the book that’s been published. (The other is in Spanish.)

Looking at some of the food that’s supposedly going to be served at the Monsters Inc. restaurant in Walt Disney World and feeling relieved I don’t live closer to Orlando.

When you sit on the floor with your kids, and then you brace yourself to stand up but you put all your weight on one of your kids LEGOs that they refused to clean up:

This is how you hold a box of forks right? With two hands, with the name of the product facing out, and just high enough in front of your chest that the entire box in frame in a medium shot?

Got the final copies of Funny Business today, and as these pictures conclusively prove, it not only looks great, it’s one of the funniest books ever written. On sale October 6! Make sure you send me a picture of you laughing hysterically at your copy. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790241...

Funny Business hits store shelves three weeks from today. And Library Journal says it’s “well-researched”! Who would know more about research than the journalistic embodiment of a library? No one, that’s who! It’s not too late to pre-order a copy: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790241...

Nothing like someone seeking you on social media just to yell at you for liking movies they didn’t (including Sinners, and as I recall, I was the only film critic in America to enjoy that motion picture) and then blocking you. Ah, the internet.

From the makers of the very strange (and very red) Stranger Things waffles (which I did eat) come “Extra Golden” Kpop Demon Hunters waffles.

Would have sat in a waiting room for all of eternity to have a costume like this as a kid but ... how do you hold your bag of candy??

A Backrooms costume will be tricky this year, but I feel like this inflated Lord Farquaad gets you pretty close???

It’s been a long time since I watched Dragon Ball, so someone will have to explain to me how Super Saiyan Sauce fits into the franchise’s mythology.

Thanks for checking out the book, it makes me feel as cool as Gene Siskel wearing these amazing shades in the Siskel & Ebert Holiday Gift Guide special.

Update: Opposable Thumbs now outselling The Great freaking Gatsby — but we are BOTH getting outsold by something called “101 Funniest Memes.” (That really puts a new perspective on the whole notion of dedicating years of your life to researching and writing a book.)

Shove over, Julie Andrews. Now the hills are alive with the sound of GENE SISKEL AND ROGER EBERT YELLING AT EACH OTHER. (Thank you to everyone who bought a copy. If you haven’t yet, the $2 sale goes through Sunday. Let’s see how high we can go!)

The Skywalker Grill is a good name for a restaurant in the George Lucas Museum. But THX 113Ate would be a better name.

We’re another week closer to the release of my new book Funny Business on October 6. Pre-order your copy now and I promise I’ll debase myself by eating some horrible movie-related swill for your amusement at the next possible opportunity! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790241...

The press releases for the new cut of the second X-Files movie refer to it as “The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn.” The film’s logo on Hulu doesn’t include the dash, so it looks like Mulder and Scully just really want to believe this Frankenshteyn fellow.
