Were I not dead broke I would buy this now. This genuinely looks amazing. Like I want to read these and they sound like art I would love.

Breaking for the only thing that could excite me today. The complete Lone Wolf and Cub. The complete Lady Snowblood. The complete Crying Freeman. $18. www.humblebundle.com/books/lone-w...

Think I’ll take today off. I’m not mentally stable and today is going to be a test.

Reading a novelization tonight that is just… absolutely delicious. Just pure pulp gold. :)

'Wake Up Dead Man' Script: Read Rian Johnson's Screenplay share.google/USixGPt08G1D...

If your first and last watched for a year are both Megan is Missing I need to block you right now unless you decided to give up on film after it.

Protect me quacky

Please reach out. I’m spiraling

Having a complete breakdown. I don’t feel like a person today.

This song is so incredibly good. Like if Dio had a love song that was under 4 minutes. And I kind of wonder if Creed fans know it exists. I didn’t until this week but I’m hooked on it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=xOZa...

I love that Mira Nair was here. Like obviously she was. But how cool anyway

You can’t make this up

I have a column coming on an obscure Hot Springs, AR radio station. The DJ I listened to there made it to Dancing With the Stars. That sounds fake. It 100% happened.

Because we don’t have the Sabrina Carpenter Muppet Show episode, the universe willed a one-off backdoor pilot for it to exist.

This is a slapstick punchline in a movie we’re meant to take seriously. Just a Mel Brooks joke in the middle of a WWII movie shot just after we joined the war. Casablanca is the most perfect movie ever.

KPDH: what it sounds like Sinners: All of it The coat room in Blue Moon The reveal that the couple never doubted each other in Black Bag Superman calling Lex Luthor out Iris gaining independence in Companion Bob finding forgiveness in Thunderbolts* There was a pulse of love on screen this year

I reeeeeeally recommend these

I’m really looking forward to yall reading the pieces I have coming this year. Because I’m in a fun position where as a fiction writer I’m going to spend much of 2026 tied up in a project I didn’t originate.

DC reinvented physical comics in the best way

The best review of the N/A cider I got last week is I got more

And now I’m crying. 30 years gone. I only had it in my life new for 4. :,(

Invoking a saint for a stressful day

I have to wonder. Are there actually fans of Alter Bridge/Creed who think the latter is better. I grew up on the latter and I’ve been in a binge of the former. I would describe them as immeasurably better

Is this the record holder for best song with worst title? This is a truly brilliant song about rebounding from failure with the absolute silliest name. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqi...

Remember to spend all day blasting the theme to New Year’s Evil. Scream it at strangers.

I really am going to do this. Just once a week talk about something I love for no particular reason except it makes me happy to write about it. I think what reoriented the column this way was realizing if I followed my original format I’d write up Monster’s Ball and other art I hate.

For no reason Cedar Rapids went semi viral recently. A reminder he’s absolutely hysterical in it and you should watch it if you haven’t. It’s nerdy Up in the Air.

I am being yelled at nonstop at work. I wanted to cry today

I really do not feel okay with myself

People mock Daniel Day-Lewis but this has been his philosophy. He can do anything. Why not do it.

I’m going to at least for a few months continue Why2K but with a different focus. It won’t be anything tied to release dates. I’m going to try to capture what the moment felt like. I’m going to bounce in time a lot. I just want a space once a week to discuss things I like

I love that while Creed is by far the bigger band, Alter Bridge will in two weeks have double their discography and has to be considered the more vital project in its members’ canon.

The most insane part about this movie: The villain in this 2008 movie is a kid who played a villain in a horror movie in 2025. Which one?

My wife is watching a low budget European horror film from 2008 and the lead actor has a really distracting resemblance to Michael Fassbender. Then I check the credits and it gets less distracting. Explains why he sounds like him too!

The last Why2K in its original form is as high a note as it gets. aflickeringlife.wordpress.com/2025/12/29/w...

Mank has a Nine Inch Nails score technically.

Very tempted to do a review of Alter Bridge’s “One Day Remains” after doing the Collective Soul write ups because it feels linked. One of my favorite bands went through chaos and in 2004 released an album with a change. In this case name/lead singer. Except this album RULED.

Today’s FYC script is one I already paid for (Blue Moon) but it was genius so I’m glad

I read the KPDH script…

I have a series coming on the band next week and I only learned this insanely redefining piece of lore at the very end of writing. Like how do I write about the guitarist not knowing THIS

I wrote a script I actually think is pretty good. I’m posting the link for anyone who wants to read it. Guardian Devil: An Angel must protect her husband from a threat without him knowing it’s her. drive.google.com/file/d/1-uhJ...

They have a base in my hometown or at least did at one point and they’re deeply beloved. She’s a legend here. Not only for being from here but for constantly celebrating being from here and even getting it slipped into her work. They’re true love defined too and I adore that.

The thing I love about the Gor movies is they’re both PG/PG13 movies based on books beloved for…not being those

This morning I learned a rumor about Collective Soul that is absolutely jaw dropping and if the band was bigger would be the only thing people mentioned with them. (Their ex-guitarist was kicked out for an affair with the lead singer’s wife.)

So used to seeing flattering posts after someone dies so this rules. Well done Miss A’Zion. We will be watching your career with great interest.

Published in 2004. It’s just cute to read this now after three absolutely staggering blockbusters in this series.

I Love LA for the record. Really liked the pilot a lot.

Oh you stupid piece of shit!

Love watching a show and 10 minutes into the first episode going “yeah I just like listening to these people talking. These are funny people.”

Uh, Bardot was a far right racist for decades. I’m not going to forgive someone their rank and naked racism because they made movies or helped animals. Ew, gross.
