What a banner day in Disney panic moves caught between the public and the government. Someone is probably wishing they could just pretend it was Victoria Alonso’s fault again.

Oh hell yes! Battlestar! Mo Ryan! This must be what it was like to try peanut butter and chocolate together for the first time.

The other thing Star Wars that I thought about today is Grogu is the Disney Star Wars brand and all it took was Disney throttling free speech to make them panic release this trailer that seems to be even less footage than what has been playing at conventions.

Star Wars with some of the most iconic font work in pop cinema has gone with this title treatment. Weird.

Be you VFX artist or AI thrasher, I was close to and inside the dome this day.

Nothing will make me abandon a pizza spot faster than a barstool pic

That last line

Evergreen

Damn.

Well, I guess I shouldn’t join Tik Tok?

Just like the real thing.

Why yes, yes I am going to watch all 18 episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return at the Egyptian theater this weekend in three sittings. Tonight we begin with Parts 1-4. Let’s Rock!

New NIN dropped and it’s a Tron this time.

Oh good someone better than me wrote this. HIM is a mess. I haven’t felt this confused mid movie since I saw a screening of The Devil’s Rejects and honestly The Devil’s Rejects is better because it’s intentionally meaner. This is a hollow disco ball pretending to be a fabergé egg

"There may be a lot of people in this country today who need to go fuck themselves, but I'm starting with Dave" says David Ehrlich because I missed a podcast recording to see HIM. Episode later today!

Irony dies in this darkness.

HIM. Who is he? What happened to his shirt? Is that dried blood or has he cut his nipple in half? Let’s find out.

This is deeply, deeply chilling, and I suspect will be seen as even more of a turning point than Colbert's cancellation — at least The Late Show is still on the air.

After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @magnumicecreamco.bsky.social #FreeBenAndJerrys

Whelp. I mean, it seems to be what the packaging promised. #Anaconda youtu.be/az8M5Mai0X4?...

This is a bad idea for all the obvious reasons of, like, integrity and craft. But it’s also a bad idea because instead of just writing the thing yourself, you are instead letting the Convincing Lie Machine see if it can trick you into getting fired because you didn’t fact check every single word

This is not just an entertainment journalism thing. Can't tell you how many times I've seen a company lay off team members after their OWN event.

It’s flu and Covid vaccine day once again! Hoping to get to that six years Covid free milestone.

I follow Alan where his criticism goes. Onto Ghost we go!

Every once in a while the urge to make everything about Twin Peaks resurges.

Emmys seem fine. Ghoulish donation countdown mechanic is just satire that hit too hard because America is trash right now.

Hello friends and family in the UK! There's a big sale happening on the audiobook version of this bestseller I wrote with @da7e.com and @jowrotethis.bsky.social -- but please don't be alarmed if the narrator has an American accent.

Oh shit. This is rad.

Before social media, these were entire friendships I had, so, no. Fix your fandom yourself. It’s not free labor it’s you making your own personal version of the story within the source text. More fan fixing theories.

Well shit. THE LONG WALK in theaters now. What happens when a violent nation sacrifices its young men for entertainment and a chance at bootstrapping at the cost of our souls?

😖

Also the new ALIEN: EARTH Storm of Spoilers pod is up in audio and YouTube forms: youtu.be/6eWbGisCD0o?...

Yesterday got weird in the afternoon/evening here in Colorado, but if you would like to learn about Marvel Studios through your ears, MCU is discounted in the UK Audible store!

Why do I have this saved to my phone and is it Maximoff or Godzilla related?

Warner Bros somehow having a good movie year despite the larger company seemingly flailing is endlessly interesting. I wish it wasn’t CONJURING: LAST RITES that got us here, but what a run.

New ALIEN: EARTH pod coming up

I have problems with THE CONJURING: LAST RITES mostly with the franchises’ continued attempts to make the Warrens legacy about family. The spooks in the movie are pretty good. I prefer lighting based jump scares to things suddenly entering the frame with a boom.

lol. Gunn has a script done already and two Avengers movies, scriptless, in production.

Talked to EL PAIS about that pesky "superhero fatigue" and it looks like it's me and Ben Fritz giving quotes. What a delight. english.elpais.com/culture/2025...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ghosts aren’t real. People who tell you they are want your money.

From SEPTEMBER 10th to SEPTEMBER 19th, Audible in the UK is selling the MCU: THE REIGN OF MARVEL STUDIOS audiobook for a low £3.99. (don't worry, I'll remind you)

Thank you, Walmart 7-pack of DVDs of “The Conjuring Universe,” I’m almost all caught up. (One more Nun to go)

What if we got my boy one last blurb? @bloody-disgusting.com @maconblair.bsky.social @screamboxtv.bsky.social @cineverse-ent.bsky.social

Going live shortly with @chrisjrosen.bsky.social , subscribe to Prestige Junkie After Party to be part of it! prestigejunkieafterparty.substack.com

Me on the live Ankler as they are going to hang up: "BUY MY BOOK, MCU: REIGN OF MARVEL STUDIOS"

I would be surprised if Warner Bros Discovery recruited through unsolicited WhatsApp text, but not totally surprised.

Gen Alpha likes going to movie theaters! Like...I think every other generation I've lived with? I'm am psyched the kids like theaters but I thought our bad box office was 100% COVID and not a generation that didn't see Avengers: Endgame in theaters.

This week's @fitwr.bsky.social coming up in about an hour. STAR TREK/PARAMOUNT SALE DISCUSSION THE ROSES RELAY We don't actually mention this visual-only gag where as Patches was talking Trek I was adding more and more badges.
