Sam Bensinger @sambensinger.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This is true for me, actually. I publish fiction under a pen name based on my life of committing hideous crimes. I recently released a novel I cowrote with a youtube celebrity I'll call "Jim" loosley based on the death games I held on my estate last year. 032

He shadow directed the film using Cosmatos as his proxy (which he apparently did on RAMBO II as well), and would finesse certain scenes personally, that being one of them, according to Thompson.
