Show grief your fucking tits

We have some [items] that are just stamped with the [Freak on a Leash brand name] but we also have the plushies — the [severed] zombie hand, the eyeball, scorpions. I mean, that's what I would buy for my dogs. Dante loves that hand, he takes it everywhere. And the eyeball — I've got videos of a friend whose cats love the eyeballs, they just throw them in the air.

Sad and deplorable about the attitude of untruth

Previously on Adam Riff™:

October 2005
A long time ago, while perusing IMDb, I stumbled upon a film called 5-25-77, the release date for Star Wars classic. The film's website offered little information, but the production company granted my request for a copy of the script. This is Almost Fanboy, I thought.

February 2007
Films about Star Wars that I want to see:
5-25-77 [May 25, 2007]

June 2008
5-25-77 prepped for a Toronto debut

July 2013
[browsing Fantasia film festival selections] Oh! 5-25-77. Is it another work-in-progress screening? I don't see anything… Whoa. After NINE some years in production, it appears a final cut exists.


May 2017
5-25-77 had its official premiere at the Genesee Theatre in Waukegan, Illinois.

September 2022
The final cut of 5-25-77 debuted at the Skyline Indie Film Fest in Winchester, Virginia before debuting on 100 screens on September 23 and becoming available on DVD and Blu-Ray on November 8, 2022.

Fool me five times…

2004 to 2022 is two years longer than the gap between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace.

Duke Nukem Forever was realized in less time.

I thought the offensive Halloween costume of the year would be "monkeypox victim," but then Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story happened.

Offensive pumpkin of the year: knucklehead.


Everything you can imagine now has a seasonal pumpkin variant.

Pumpkin manifest destiny.

Who is buying all this pumpkin shit, though? It feels like supply exceedingly outstrips demand.

Imagine being poor in December and receiving a box full of just pumpkin-flavoured shit.

Pumpkin food pantries.
