AMEN, Bruce! AMEN! I saw 'Evil Dead Rise' and that was the end of my relationship with the series' new stuff. It was too twisted, too terrible, and too gory without any of the camp and heart that made me dig the 'Evil Dead' movies in the first place.

I...I don't know how to feel about this 😐. EXCEPT the nostalgic part of me that longs for the days where I'd still be using this stuff (and yes, I can see the irony that I am posting these feels in a post-smartphone arena with a post-smartphone device 😆).
This is a triggering image of a museum display in the natural history museum in DC about life before smartphones. Me and a fellow 40+ person were laughing at how we are now LITERAL MUSEUM PIECES. MY teen was like did you have a clear phone? An address book? A book of maps. Yes, yes I did. 🫠🫠🫠

I’m out and the Offspring’s “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)” was just playing. Naturally, I began singing along. And it took me OVER HALF THE SONG to realize it wasn’t “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Pretty Fly (for a Rabbi).” Don’t worry, I kept singing Al’s version.
