Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Rowlf is my guy but even as a kid watching the Muppet-costumed human ice skaters in “Christmas Eve of Sesame Street” I knew that life-sized Muppets are a hard NOPE. 000

Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Then he comes up to me: “You’re Serpent and the Rainbow, man!” The train pulled up, we got on together, and he proceeded to tell everyone: “You know who he is!?! He’s muthafckin’ Serpent and the Rainbow, man!” 010
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 05/10/2026So there I was, on the empty subway platform dressed as Bill Pullman’s zombie from “The Serpent and the Rainbow” when I noticed some dude watching me and closing in from column to column. I thought I was about to get jumped. And then he shouts: “Don’t Bury Me… I’m Not Dead!” 110
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 05/10/2026LAST MINUTE COSTUME I always liked dressing up for Halloween but my most basic costume was cobbled together to be Bill Pullman’s zombie from “Serpent and the Rainbow” The VHS cover always freaked me out at Blockbuster and the costume amused me but I thought no one would recognize it. I was wrong 110
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 05/09/2026COYOTE VS ACME Strong premise and I did laugh at a number of the gags but found it to be generally flat when the OG shorts are fine-tuned comedy time bombs. It’s a choice to treat our world as deadpan where I prefer the Looney Tuned humanity of Raimi and the Coens. 030
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Y’all know that Tim Curry did the voice of Auntie Whispers in OVER THE GARDEN WALL, right? 030
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Man, as a child of the 80s, few left as indelible an impression as Tim Curry. His “Whatever Happened to Fay Wray?” sequence in Rocky Horror still ranks among the most moving to me. 010
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 25/08/2026She was beloved by all of us because she showed love to all of us. I will always love her for her support of our kids with the Imagination Library and for her funding of the restoration of Pigeon Forge after the fires and in COVID vaccine research at the height of the pandemic. 2/3 110
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 25/08/2026DOLLY MURAL by Kim Radford Raising our girls in Nashville has been like a living game of “Where’s Dolly?” as her likeness and spirit are EVERYWHERE. 1/3 110
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 25/08/2026HELLBENDERS If I wasn’t already in it for the love of the game, I’d join our co-ed beach volleyball team for the love of the shirt. Design and print by Mikaela Fuches - THE HUNGRY FOX on Etsy - check her art prints, we own two. 100
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Uncanny X-Men 205 Wounded Wolf by Claremont and BWS The whole thing is classic Logan (teams up with a girl, driven to battle his animal nature, bloody but noble) and it’s all so visceral in Smith’s ink, it plays like James Cameron directing it right after ALIENS, but, this moment in particular… 0160
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Hard to pick between these two… Uncanny X-Men 173 Rogue earns Logan’s respect and he saves her life after she saves Mariko 1170
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Post a perfect album from the 2000s (2000-2009) Broken Social Scene “You Forget It in People” 2003 000
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 13/08/2026There are few things that the President of the United States can do to personally impact oil prices. President Deals did them. 021
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Where a plane strafed the clouds like a finger in the sand. Also love a morning like this where you can make out the spherical “firmament” encasing us. 010
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Can anyone compose a single shot that’s anywhere near as dynamic as your average comic panel?!? The Thing giving a bro hello needs to hit like… or go home. #Doomsday 010
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 16/07/2026AMERICA 250 Photo Album 01 We happened to be traveling during America's Semiquincentennial so I had US on the brain when I was snapping pics. All are found compositions that I felt told parts of our nation’s story. 1/x 121
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 12/07/2026CODA Loyalty to Trump has unmasked any romanticized version of a Congress of cordial opposition as the same monster with a barely genteel veneer. What “values” do Republicans have other than the wealthy white Christian male supremacy that was always at their core? 000

Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 29/06/2026"SAY YES AND NEVER DO IT" - Mel Brooks Sharing the man's wisdom in honor of Mel Brooks' 100th birthday. Creatives, how have you stood by the convictions of your expertise in the face of production scrutiny? 100
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 27/06/2026My first movie in theaters at age 4 and it immediately hit as MY sense of humor but especially “You ain’t got no other pants.” which I realized was meta because he was a puppet who never changed his outfit. Happiness, Miss Piggy. 010
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 27/06/2026I haven’t been won over by “dirty sodas” but this Creamsicle Icee with Cold Foam is sunshine through a straw. 100
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Y’all come back to Cooter’s in Nashville, your BACKROOM to 70s/80s southern fried pop culture. We’ve got rugs made from Burt Reynolds’ chest hair, and endless staircase of tin lunch boxes, and the orangutan from Any Which Way But Loose fused to your grandma’s side chair. 000
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 20/06/2026WIDOW’S BAY truly delivered as an impeccably produced horror comedy (Parks & Rec by Stephen King) but also increased my esteem for MIDNIGHT MASS if you have a taste for even pulpier small island intrigue. There’s a closing scene to one ep that bleeds into the credits that continues to haunt me. 020
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. ROOMIES, 8 eps 1987 Corey Haim as a 14 year old genius and Burt Young as his retired drill sargent college roommate. I don’t remember a single plot but I’ll never forget that Haim turned their closed into a floor to ceiling aquarium 000
Hamgravy @mlapinski.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Andy Ogles - the same “Family Values” politician who had his wife & kids arm up to pose for their Christmas card while we were grieving those murdered in the Covenant School shooting in HIS district. Same Trump loyalist who proposed an unconstitutional THIRD TERM for his master. VOTE HIM OUT, TN 000
