Watching cinema the way it was intended (with a plastic skeleton flying out over the audience and actors planted in the crowd to faint) Wonderful tribute to William Castle at @musicboxtheatre's House on Haunted Hill screening. I can't wait for October. https://t.co/3crFVNXEdc

Dude apartments rock. Will there be a bed post? Will there be Marcus Aurelius' Meditations on a shelf beside several economics books we've never read? Will there be a pinball machine? You never know, we exist in comfortable chaos.

Saw The Mark of Kane at the @CityLitTheater last night, great little play about the creation of Batman. If you aren't familiar, look up the story of writer Bill Finger finally getting the credit he deserved for giving us the Caped Crusader. Check it out if you're in Chicago! https://t.co/Dh1vmuXybK

Reading about how Ginevra King, the first love of F. Scott Fitzgerald and inspiration for Daisy in The Great Gatsby, read a rival suitor the story that Fitzgerald wrote about their love and the suitor was just like "Dudes rock." https://t.co/qBUGP6GCFo

Bambi is based on the 1923 novel of the same name by Austro-Hungarian author Felix Salten (who also wrote The Hound of Florence which inspired Disney's The Shaggy Dog) Salten himself was an avid hunter. https://t.co/GE49ZNhwWU

Did you know an entirely different version of Bram Stoker's Dracula exists? 1901's Makt Myrkranna (Powers of Darkness) was an Icelandic translation of 1897's Dracula but it differs significantly and is far more sexual. The differences remained undiscovered for almost a century https://t.co/yIzJZS0e1q
