Happy birthday, fellow Cancer! Have a glorious time!

You make me feel like

It’s not that there aren’t good writers, or good ideas...it’s that the movie industry is notoriously risk-averse. Production companies want to make shit-tons of money, and taking a chance on some unknown idea is less likely to make them those shit-tons of money than a known property (even if said property started off…

This seems like an excellent place to break out one of my favorite bad recipes, “Late Night Bacon.” Click all the way through to read the comments - the Internet has a collective field day with it. The others at this link are equally batshit....

I’m with you - I’m mildly terrified, but I’m also anxiously awaiting the next installment. I have popcorn.

Methinks his use of “purist” was a bit more revelatory of his intentions than he really wanted it to be...
