Oh, it's definitely more horror than comedy, and the laughs it does have tend to stick in the throat.

Could he not?

I read that as "Edgy Robot Man," and I'm having no problem believing Universal has robotic screenwriters on the payroll pumping out these garbage scripts.

Laugh-a while you can, monkey-boy!

Sold a lot of tickets to Doctor Strange this weekend. Also some for Hacksaw Ridge to families with children. I believe that may constitute a form of child abuse.

I need help reacting to something.

I've had a bit of a slow week, but I started it off with a bang with the director-approved alternate cut of Brian De Palma's Raising Cain. That was definitely a revelation.

Bring back Burned-Face Larry! He's really the only character from Murder House that I would want to see again.

But then why use #ohmygod and forget #OMG?

That was one of the main things writer William Peter Blatty insisted be put back in. No clue what he thought it added to it.

You should make an effort to see him. He's a fabulous storyteller.

Roger Ebert was a huge Jennifer Lopez fan.
