DUCK SEASON, Fernando Eimbcke’s moving and quite funny 2004 slacker comedy debut, is now on Netflix. I’ve seen, written about, and really liked all three of his features. How has he never made a fourth??

Rewatching the Terrible Trio episode of BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, which has given me an excuse to praise Alan Burnett to Bill.

@uniform_nyc Rampo’s JAPANESE TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION, if you’ve not yet had the pleasure. Scott Smith’s THE RUINS has more than earned its rep…and Kobo Abe’s THE RUINED MAP is good and creepy, too.

My new book, THE NORTHMAN: A CALL TO THE GODS, is in stores *today* from @insighteditions. New in-depth interviews with the likes of Robert Eggers, Alex Skarsgard & Anya Taylor-Joy. Plus storyboards, concept art, costume designs. Preface by Ethan Hawke!! https://t.co/xYPjJ4yf3b

Larry Cohen’s A RETURN TO SALEM’S LOT is now on HBO Max. Michael Moriarty and Sam Fuller putz around and kill vampires in this narratively unrelated Stephen King spinoff. It’s great and you should feel great. https://t.co/jIs2icbH6w

I like that, when SHIN ULTRAMAN director Shinji Higuchi told me that he's a big fan of Japanese sci-fi novelist Sakyo Komatsu (JAPAN SINKS, VIRUS: DAY OF RESURRECTION), my first thought was: OH YEAH, I LOVE "THE SAVAGE MOUTH", TOO, MAN.

Speaking of PREY: I have a specific question for PREDATOR 2 writers Jim and John Thomas, or maybe John Waters—do you guys ever wonder if John Waters watched PREDATOR 2 and was like “Wow, Danny Glover said ‘pussyface’, I haven’t heard that in a while, let’s put it in SERIAL MOM!”

Day 20: Trips. “Vacations don’t always go how you planned them. Can you get away from the getaway?” Big fan of Scott Smith’s THE RUINS, so I’m finally checking out the 2008 adaptation. I’ve heard good things! #scvpsychochallenge https://t.co/M2QUsUJLpL

Spent last night playing Super Street Fighter II Turbo (Balrog wins, perfect) and watching cartoons. Highly recommend Gail Simone's Birds of Prey episode of THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD, especially for Diedrich Bader's Matches Malone voice.
