Y’all aren’t even ready.

Writer-types: what's a franchise you were born to write, but you never will? Fringe

Oh yeah, I wrote about this movie. Some heisters use an unexploded WWII bomb as cover to do some heisting. Fun thriller. Solid B. www.thelastthingisee.com/2026/04/fuze...

My barber went to a bull riding event in Tacoma over the weekend and instead of rodeo clowns they had ice agents, which is all a whole-ass new level of terrifying.

Happy 80th, king.

Exactly one year ago today:

The problem is that I don’t want my job, but I don’t want any other job either.

post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet: it’s one of these two bro Bronson.

Assuck, still a hell of a band. youtu.be/1CeHfz54LF8?...

And it begins… #bonebat

Pound for pound, the 90s might just be the best decade for action movies. I wrote about 15 of the very best... www.slashfilm.com/2136666/best...

Woo! Catch "All Kinds of Animals" from @beckysayers.bsky.social on Friday as part of “Bloody Bites” Season 17 on Screambox!

Josie and the Pussycats was released on this day 25 years ago 🥁

Went to a show tonight. Was reminded how absolutely awkward I am and how I should never be allowed in public.

New ep—HEAD SHOULDERS NEESON TOES! We’re talking early Neesons, when he was nothing more than a handsome, charismatic 7 foot tall Irish nobody who starred in major films! #liamneeson #nextofkin #rubycairo #undersuspicion podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

that's not a yacht that's orca bait

Ran into a friend I haven’t seen in a while. “Hey, I finally stopped vaping.” I congratulated them. They pull out a cigarette. “I did start smoking cigarettes again.”

"still punk af" I whisper as stay up past 10pm

From tonight onwards we open theatrically in 23 cites across America. This is the largest release l've ever had for a film and it feels so surreal & special. This film means a lot to me & it's a dream come true. I love this cast & crew so much❤️‍🩹

Fuck that dumbass show and everyone who decided it’s more important than actual people.

Excellent list, even with the glaring Duke of Burgundy omission. 😉

Turns out when you mix Neurosis, something I like quite a bit, with Isis, something else I like quite a bit, you get something I like quite a bit. Wild. Anyway, this new record…. neurosis.bandcamp.com/album/an-und...

I am two months younger than M. Emmet Walsh when he made ‘Blood Simple.’

Probably the most amazing image of the night, Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi forced to go to the Oscars while the US wages war on his home & people, only to encounter Shark Tank MAGA dipshit Kevin O’Leary, then looks at him like Blade looks at a vampire.

I’m really tired of getting sick because my coworker who insists on coming to work when she’s violently ill and is then shocked when her vicious illness rips though the office. It’s almost like we’ve learned nothing ever from anything.

Survivors rarely, if ever, get justice. Per RAINN, 98% of perpetrators don’t get prison time. Trump’s been accused by 28 women of sexual misconduct and was found liable for SA and defaming the survivor, E. Jean Carroll. It’s his second term. MeToo didn’t “go too far” — it didn’t go far enough.

Where’s Wallace, String!?!

Just got a review request from a pr rep that doesn’t mention the title of the movie until two-thirds of the way through the email.

To every artist currently thinking, “ It feels so silly to post about my story/movie/painting/novel/etc while everything is terrible,” I understand, but know that’s the shit keeping us all going. Don’t stop now.

Dawn Staley is wearing an Emmanwori jersey. Make of that what you will.

"Look, we all want the Gestapo, where we differ is how discreet we want the Gestapo to be in their Gestapo-ing. Do it at night, maybe."

Every time I almost drum on a bar I think about @colonelmortimer.bsky.social yelling at me to knock it off and the does the trick.

Well, that was suboptimal.

Right wing white dudes finally noticing things a lot of women do for their kids, offices and communities on a daily basis: PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS

This is that good action shit I was talking about.

I had almost this exact encounter today.

If you’re running out of hope, this thread should top you off. Maybe we’re not completely fucked.

I am woke-up-with-tennis-elbow-for-no-discernible-reason years old.

If you’re a grown ass man in full tactical gear asking a child to show you ID or proof of citizenship you failed at life. Utterly & completely failed. Loser.

So excited to have a short story in one of my favorite places—thank you, @aaronburch.bsky.social and @jessdawn.bsky.social! (And, as a long-time fan of @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social’s work, I’m incredibly honored to have my story alongside her brilliant artwork! 🤩)

“sex scenes don’t even advance the plot!!” i dunno dude the plot said these people were gonna fuck

The first week I lived in Seattle the Varsity was running a John Woo retrospective, so I saw all the biggies on a big screen. And I lived within blocks of the theater for years and saw too many great movies there to count. It hasn’t been the same in a long time, but this is still a bummer.

What about when your film is about the seeds being planted for these Worst of Times? www.wto99doc.com

Every time in the last year I’ve felt close to true despair I have gone to a protest or seen people like this who show that Americans actually can be remotely as brave as we tell ourselves we are, and our enemies are violent and stupid and evil but they are also absolute cowards.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Action fans, as always, watch this and update your must-watch lists accordingly.
