Happy 82nd birthday to Mr. Martin Scorsese, whose love for film is unlike anyone before or since. Thank you for letting Jerry shine and deliver a career-best performance in one of your most criminally underrated films <3 From everything I've read and watched, it seems like Jerry and Scorsese got along well on set and contributed a lot to one another when they worked together

Those two life-size silhouettes... I don't know why they make me think of these other two life-size silhouettes.

it's interesting how horror can age so well and comedy can age so badly given that they're both reflective of their time and all about tension

On March 31, 1983, Creepshow debuted in Australia and Sweden.

my music listening habits are so dominated by whatever character im obsessing with for fucking real every spotify year review has some song or artist from The Character Playlist topping my wrapped because ill almost exclusively listen to that playlist no matter how short it is and sit around tugging my own heartstrings for fun. and i like the music of course but that comes secondary to the Character association
