Was a very busy work week this week, but it's Saturday and I have mid-afternoon I LOVE BOOSTERS tickets, let's go.

This movie does gift you with the idea that Scorsese could serve you a panini while rattling off constant dialogue about the local UFC fighter which is actually an experience Disney should offer alongside building a lightsaber.

It’s Babu Frick mug day.

It’s a three video call day which didn’t used to be a lot but if you take a few weeks off, three is suddenly a lot.

ABC killed fivethirtyeight.com, pulling down thousands of stories and dashboards. I can bring them back, but I can offer you https://fivethirtyeightindex.com, my new index of everything captured by archive.org.

Kill it with a hammer.

Wrote like 4 very snarky posts about Barney Frank and one thoughtful one. All deleted.

a lot of harsh pull quotes about the new Star Wars come from otherwise accurate reviews. Been thinking about how after Seasons 1 & 2 my household bought a ton of Grogu and Mando stuff. And we’re seemingly not doing that for the movie. I hope it has a crazy BO weekend, but wonder how sticky it is.

For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, I had a fantastic conversation with Boots Riley about finding the magic moments in his latest madcap wonder: I LOVE BOOSTERS.

I want to see the baby.

Hilarious that this keeps happening. A billionaire telling a whole graduating class that despite their recently completed education that they either paid or went into debt for, they can’t do anything on their own.

This is actually a good pitch for @fitwr.bsky.social the podcast David is on and never talks about. It’s free.

What’s happening with Lord of the Ring feels a lot like the Ellison years of attempting to make a new Terminator movie.

Two of our hosts are out of the country seeing movies but I’m really going to try to get an episode of @fitwr.bsky.social out today and I bet we can not cancel the podcast this time.

Jon Bernthal seems like a nice guy, but I’m just not interested in The Punisher as a character. I hope Peter Parker can make him tolerable for a few minutes this summer.

Bright Eyes time!

Treasuring these Cannes-before-House-of-the-Dragon days before I have to start worrying about social video or promoting anything.

it's a violation of the NYT's own AI policy, and it's also not disclosed that AI was used to report the article. how many other articles at the @nytimes.com contain AI-generated misinformation that's gone unchecked? www.nytco.com/press/princi...

Nothing like some can’t-put-it-down theory work.

Time to see some Chase Infiniti on screen and some Katey Rich IRL.

There's a new @fitwr.bsky.social headed into your feeds. I was off seeing a 3D concert movie, but my three co-hosts heroically convened and mostly stayed on the topic of media criticism... even though there's MORE toothbrushing talk from @misterpatches.bsky.social

Fucked around on the internet and now a signed copy of the first Dinotopia book is headed to my home.

Denver Public Schools are closed tomorrow for the first snow day of the year…in May.

That little asshole is everywhere!

When Matt started doing this I had a whole colon, somehow he has kept his. Amazing work.

“It’s both Cinco De Mayo and Revenge of the Fifth, and you can just have a good time and not make it culturally weird either way” *fits sombrero over Zabrak horns and Maul makeup, leaves for the bar*

I often take the “character actor who needs health insurance” approach to superhero plots: what are you talking about??

I have a longstanding tradition of seeing James Cameron projects in 3D when given the opportunity

holy fucking shit @danielkraus.com just won the Pulitzer for Fiction for Angel Down???????

Do kids these days do action figures? I’ve been picking up some nostalgic favorites from The Phantom Menace (99) and Simpson’s Playmates (04) lines and in some cases they’re are only $2 more in package than they were on shelves. Benefit: me.

IMAX has Avengers: Secret Wars already. One year of Infinity Vision. Infinity Vision 2026. investors.imax.com/static-files...

I do think he’s lying but it is funny to think the President thinks “86” is exclusively a mob term.

I mean, I don’t like the term “legally” allowed to have sex in there. But I guess it does suggest the existence of Revolutionary New York Sex Anarchists, which, ya know, could be fun. youtu.be/JRG244IfrRE?...

Some Reddit is still good.

You ever think about how the Mafia boss in The Rocketeer has higher ethical standards than everyone who attended the WHCD

I regret to inform you that after ALL THAT, Miranda took the Mother Mary dress from Anne Hathaway. Seated for The Devil Wears Prada 2.

#HouseoftheDragon season 3 will bow in June: www.givememyremote.com/remote/2026/...

Me to my girlfriend, as my chair breaks and I hit the table on the way down, spilling the stew on the rug: “I’ve been saying for months we need a ballroom or this would happen.”

Girls imagine your husbands having ten friends.

I really do not like Angel Studios.

This looks like a TON of fun and I'm glad it found its way to being shown. Seriously how can you see this and go "Welp we should bury all this delightful work!" ? Jeez.

Seated for some MOTHER MARY. Part 2 of Coel April.

Look, I like the made up weed holiday.

I hope that piece does something besides confirming for me that Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr was an asshole who shouldn’t be on the court because I already thought that.

My name is Dave and I’ve never made a sports bet in my life.
