This guy said “yeah!” at a campaign rally very enthusiastically and America found it unpresidential and disqualifying.

Old enough to remember when the Branch Davidian compound in Waco set itself on fire.

Everything is very dumb.

Sadly it was a box office bomb. Universal shelved his King Kong remake around the same time. It did however allow for a great expansion of his WETA F/X studio, which was key to making LOTR.

Peter Jackson’s The Frighteners is even better than I’d remembered it, but TIL that Andie MacDowell isn’t in it. My apologies to Trini Alvarado.

I got to visit the set one day. As has been discussed after the fact, they riffed constantly. If every scene happened like the one I watched, there must be enough for 200 versions of the movie.

Who told this place I’d be here? 🤔

“That comic book convention, my friends..." MTV News sat up and ran multiple mini-studios at SDCC a few years later. There was even a comic book movie hub on the MTV site for a while. Now, MTV News is no more🥹. But I'll be back at SDCC once again in 2023. 3/3.

Then they cut the beta crew. By the time the weekend arrived, I was told I could go by myself if I wanted. But they wouldn't cover gas, let alone a hotel. I stayed on a friend's couch. I came back w/ several interviews with A-list actors & filmmakers. "Wait, where were you?" 2/

San Diego Comic-Con, 2003. I told my bosses at MTV News we should cover it. At first, they approved a beta shooter (remember those?), an audio person, a DV shooter & one of the New York on-air correspondents to come with me. As SDCC got closer, they cut the correspondent. 1/

My recent activity on Letterboxd is full of black metal, slasher schlock, religious cults, and European eroticism which is all almost depressingly on brand for me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

My favorite of America’s founders. Happy 4th of July!

June 30, you say?

Barry stuck the landing.

I see this place already has the “I ‘follow’ 50,000 accounts” people.

It's time

Here we go again I guess?
