Maybe funny—sad—funny is my lane, like the Pixies' loud quiet loud formula or Zach Galifianakis's sad piano w funny one liners. I dunno—I'll keep working on it. Trigger warnings/spoiler alerts: dissociation, mom, suicide & late capitalist hyper-alienation https://t.co/5Cw32VwHzl

I am being paid a small sum of money to promote #TheCrow

[Gib @unclegib]

Movie trailer idea: slow panning closeup of a nerdy teen boy putting white face makeup in the style of The Crow on another boy's face. That boy is putting the same makeup on the next awkward, acne-faced boy, and so on. (cont.)

[Gib @unclegib]

Did you know The Crow is a remake of The Dark Knight, which is a remake of The Crow which is a remake of Lost Boys which was a remake of the band Kiss which was a remake of A Clockwork Orange which was based on a graphic novel which is a fancy way of saying comic book?

Outside, a middle-aged man has been playing with a remote controlled toy truck with a tiny American flag in the back for the last couple hours. It's a metaphor.

My New Year's resolution is not to make any resolutions... I've already broken it. #NewYear #NewYearsEve #NewYearsResolutions #Resolutions

Christmas movies used to be class-conscious, like It's a Wonderful Life, a Christmas Carol, etc. In my lifetime, the only Christmas movie that deals with class has been Eyes Wide Shut...

Congratulations to Christmas on winning the war on Christmas for the 1687th year in a row.

Too much talk about "Baby It's Cold Outside" being about nonconsent, not enough talk about Christmas music in general being nonconsensual.
