@ethansacks.bsky.socialReposted by @justinaireland.comIf you are at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social today, please stop by our panel and come to Table I-38 afterwards to get a copy of A Haunted Girl signed by Naomi (and her dad).
@justinaireland.comSaw a kid wearing g a Primis shirt so I yelled at him “Primus sucks!” And he was all like “what?!” hurt feelings. Someone must start teaching the children the ways of the world.
@justinaireland.comLOL, if I ever write a memoir no one is going to believe my bullshit.
@justinaireland.com“What’s causing it is unclear.” The fuck, you say.
@msiglain.bsky.socialReposted by @justinaireland.comUnfortunately, I'm under the weather so I won't be at NYCC, but please check out the Lucasfilm Publishing panel on Friday at 11am & the Mad Cave panel on Sunday at 1:45pm. Both have amazing creators & reveals! And don't forget about our Forbidden Planet signing on Friday night. Have fun without me!
@justinaireland.comHope you feel better! Drink bourbon. 🥃 😂
@justinaireland.comReposted by @justinaireland.comHey! Would you like another version of Carrie in your life? Want a reminder of how much high school sucks? Want to see Shaggy from the live action Scooby Doo movie as an ineffectual high school principal? 😂 Carrie is now out on Amazon Prime. I wrote episode three: Social Studies. 😘
@justinaireland.comHonestly, the idea that Shaggy grew up to be a high school principal is pretty funny. I can just see him in his office after hours saying to himself “man, I used to be somebody. I used to have Scooby snacks.”

@justinaireland.comThis is me but also I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong.
@justinaireland.comResident Evil is so good. Definitely an in the theatre movie if you’re on the fence.
@justinaireland.comAnd to be clear, I do not love Apple Maps. But this is awful.
@justinaireland.comThe new voice on Google Maps is so bad that I’m going to switch to Apple Maps. Just…man, I hate it.
@justinaireland.comTV is weird because you work on a thing and then go away from it and so that when reviews come out it’s sort of like reading a Facebook update from someone you went to high school with.
Anyway, Carrie is out October 3rd. 🩸
@resnikoff.bsky.socialReposted by @justinaireland.comI think about this interview with the distinguished philosopher Conan O'Brien a lot. I actually think this is a healthy way to live your life! www.nytimes.com/2019/01/14/a...
![Is this how you want to go out, with a show that gets smaller and smaller until it’s gone?
Maybe that’s O.K. I think you have more of a problem with that than I do. [Laughs.] At this point in my career, I could go out with a grand, 21-gun salute, and climb into a rocket and the entire Supreme Court walks out and they jointly press a button, I’m shot up into the air and there’s an explosion and it’s orange and it spells, “Good night and God love.” In this culture? Two years later, it’s going to be, who’s Conan? This is going to sound grim, but eventually, all our graves go unattended.
You’re right, that does sound grim.
Sorry. Calvin Coolidge was a pretty popular president. I’ve been to his grave in Vermont. It has the presidential seal on it. Nobody was there. And by the way, I’m the only late-night host that has been to Calvin Coolidge’s grave. I think that’s what separates me from the other hosts.
I had a great conversation with Albert Brooks once. When I met him for the first time, I was kind of stammering. I said, you make movies, they live on forever. I just do these late-night shows, they get lost, they’re never seen again and who cares? And he looked at me and he said, [Albert Brooks voice] “What are you talking about? None of it matters.” None of it matters? “No, that’s the secret. In 1940, people said Clark Gable is the face of the 20th Century. Who [expletive] thinks about Clark Gable? It doesn’t matter. You’ll be forgotten. I’ll be forgotten. We’ll all be forgotten.” It’s so funny because you’d think that would depress me. I was walking on air after that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:qnyq7wies2uc56bzqmfz4q25/bafkreief4hu7c6hd6ymgqnsaejlaipfuj7fq4ka2tkix72pionkb3dkkdy)

@justinaireland.comOh, I’m super excited about this movie. I played with Matchbox cars a ton as a kid. Not sure I’d be excited about a strawberry shortcake or rainbow brite movie.
@justinaireland.comWait, did you grow up in the US in the 1980s? Because the competition was inescapable. Like the Cola Wars.
@justinaireland.comIt’s funny they made a Matchbox movie because when I was a kid Matchbox were the toys poor kids had. Matchbox and Go-Bots. Ask me how I know. 🫠
@justinaireland.comLMAO, fair.
