RIP to comics legend Sam Kieth. I've not read much in the way of his comic work outside of Sandman, but the Max cartoon series left an impact on me as a teen.

So I finally joined the 21st century and got a tablet. And it’s made reading comics so much better than my phone. I’ve dropped off most recent comics, so does anyone have any recommendations for newish stuff on Marvel Unlimited or DC Infinite?

Made my wife and I a ribeye and we watched Predator: Badlands. And now we’re watching Predators (the only other one in the series I hadn’t watched). We are very traditional that way when it comes to Valentines.

Damn. RIP Catherine O’Hara, I can’t count the number of amazing roles she’s done that’s stuck with me over the decades.

A day of alternating movies with cleaning the house with my wife. Today we watched Bill & Ted 3, Mayhem, Nobody and Train to Busan

NEW SCHUMACAST! In the latest episode, @phoenixanew.bsky.social and I are joined by Tim and Agatha of @cinemaspection.bsky.social to discuss Joel Schumacher's 2003 true crime biopic Veronica Guerin, staring Cate Blanchett. #Filmsky #Podcast schumacast.blogspot.com/2025/12/schu...

Finally got a job offer, two months into living in a new city. Still having to pay for two mortgages isn’t ideal, but hopefully my old house sells soon. But it’s a huge relief regardless.

So I’m getting married tomorrow. And the weird part is I feel totally fine about it. I’ve got a baseline amount of anxiety in most of my day to day. But this? Totally different. It helps that it’s a tiny ceremony (just us, her kids and her bff and his gf) but honestly its mostly cuz it feels right.

Posted this on Facebook, but it’s official, I’m moving to St Louis to be with my fiancée. Turned in my resignation at work and my house was just posted for sale. Crossing my fingers everything goes smooth, but I can’t wait to start my next chapter.

Two minutes until Superman!

Jim Shooter was probably not a great person to work for, but it’s undeniable that he has left a huge impact on comics. From the Legion of Super Heroes, to the Dark Phoenix Saga’s ending to the symbiote Spider-Man costume. RIP

If a report came out tomorrow that said LeBron James got advanced notice of drug tests we’d see 100x’s the focus on that than we’ll get on this guy who *checks notes* was given free rein of the federal government.

So I got engaged today. What all did you do?

RIP Peter David. His X-Factor runs were some of my favorite bits of their respective periods of X-comics

There’s no way James Gunn could have known what 2025 would become, but damn, Superman arguing that saving people is more important than anything else… I think that’s the movie we needed right now.

Saw the first showing of Thunderbolts after work. I freaking loved it. I love all the Marvel films, so when I say that this is one of the best in years, that's not me daming it with faint praise, it's a genuinely great film and worth your time.

I checked this out on Snopes, completely real. www.snopes.com/fact-check/o...

I had an amazing belated birthday weekend. Dinner at 801 Chophouse with my lovely girlfriend Karen, and then on Saturday an escape room at The Escape Game with a lot of my best friends and a small party at my house.

I mostly loved the new season of Daredevil. Its opening was a bit hard to get over, and I understand those who want more action, but I think it was ultimately necessary to tell this story and I expect the next season to really move faster.

Witnessed history with John Carpenter getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

NEW #PODCAST! In the latest episode of Schumacast, @phoenixanew.bsky.social and I are joined by @osheamobile.bsky.social to discuss Joel Schumacher's 2002 film Bad Company, a Jerry Bruckheimer action comedy starring Chris Rock and Anthony Hopkins. schumacast.blogspot.com/2025/03/Schu... #Filmsky

That FF teaser is

😌

God right now:

So that Superman trailer gave me chills in the good way.

One of my favorites lately. And it’s available! 🖤 #woodworking #art #gamers #gamerart #gamers

No spoilers, but I really enjoyed that Agatha All Along finale.

I’m an uncle!

Listened to the Warriors album by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis. The film is a bit of a cultural blindspot, but I'm still largely familiar with the major beats. The album is great, though I don't think it has as many hooks as Hamilton. There are still some bangers, and it's worth a listen.

In the latest episode of Schumacast, @phoenixanew.bsky.social and I are joined by Lore and @osheamobile.bsky.social to discuss Happy New Year, a 1987 Peter Falk heist romance Joel Schumacher did uncredited writing on. schumacast.blogspot.com/2024/10/Schu... #FilmSky #Podcast #Podsky

I woke up this morning, looked at my bed head and asked myself “Huh, when was I bitten by a radioactive Conan O’Brien?”

Some trolls/bigots are coming through today along with the cool people ditching Twitter. Remember: don't interact with trolls, just block. They're here to monetize outrage, which depends on interaction. Blocking deprives them of that. ❤️

Ok, that Thunderbolts trailer is pretty great. And it seems to leaning more in the direction of my preferred take on the comic, ie: bad guys trying (not always successfully) to be better. I was kinda afraid it was going to go down the Ellis run/Dark Avengers thing.

Finally got around to watching the first two of “Agatha All Along”. I’m definitely in so far. Hahn has always been an amazing actor with great comic timing, but it’s great seeing her get something to really showcase her skills.

Camo cat.

I had a lot of fun with Beetlejuice^2. I don’t think it will be as much of a classic as the original, and it could have done with one less antagonist, but overall it’s pretty solid film.

so TERFs are getting upset that they’re not able to farm engagement on Bluesky because people are blocking them in place of replying to them or RTing them to dunk on them. keep it up, gang! the best way to hurt their sad little moment is to completely ignore it :)

As always this was a great conversation with Noel and Angie. If you like 80s tv cheese, don’t miss this one.

Who's ready for a new episode of Schumacast on Monday!

this is uncannily accurate

“I’m the Doom playing another Doom disguised as another Doom.”

This was a fun discussion. Give it a listen!

Homemade pot roast… a few minutes before Bruce literally jumped into the bowl that was resting on my lap. Adorable little cuss.

I went and saw “IF” today and even though I could predict a lot of it, but it’s masterful direction and performances got tears out of me. I would highly recommend it.

It should be context sensitive. For something foreboding and cynical, Werner Herzog, for something uplifting and inspiring, Morgan Freeman, and for erotica Gilbert Gottfried.
