Playing badminton with Mitch McConnell. We talked about the midterms and Iran. I took the first game 15-0 because he is unresponsive and lying on the ground.

Spoke to my friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He's still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes ... about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history

‘Great speaking to you, Mitch. I’ll definitely let everyone know you’re still alive, bubby.’

Just got off the phone with Mitch McConnell. He said, "Baba booey!" and hung up.

People remember BLOOD RAGE for the "cranberry sauce" bit but for me the highlight is the late Louise Lasser calling the police and saying variations on, "It's a real, a real emergency!" over and over again, just completely taking the piss out of the slasher movie and the filmmakers letting her. #RIP

I think the dude in Pet Valu thought I was nuts because I spent 10 minutes picking out a $3 catnip toy, but in my defense I needed to go through them all and imagine which colour would most appeal to her.

Jokingly used my One Wished Willow on Mitch McConnell and now everyone thinks he's dead even though he's smiling and peeing himself in my kitchen.

For the morning crowd.

My cat made a pretty metal noise and now I can't stop singing "Meow Meow Meow at the Devil" to the tune of Motley Crue's "Shout at the Devil."

I keep forgetting to cancel SonyCore, the app for connoisseurs of Best Buy showrooms from 1995-2005.

For the afternoon crowd

Phew, a Coffin flop avoided!

DRUNKEN MASTER II must be the greatest movie ever made that's also 50% incredibly irritating.

For the Sunday crowd.

My mom came up with a pretty good bit that her favourite Shakespeare line is, "It's been revoked."

Have they tried Widow's Bay? It's the new Martha's Vineyard.

FFC review: CAMP (2026), by Walter Chaw (@mangiotto.bsky.social). filmfreakcentral.net/2026/07/camp...

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

When I hear people are refusing to heed extreme heat warnings because they think it's a liberal plot.

They look like Temu Minions.

Not to brag, but in this scene they find the nexus of all that is evil and unholy not far from where I live.

Happy anniversary to the terrifying rendering mistakes of SHREK.

I do think the facts matter in this instance. If he weren't so evil, they wouldn't. He's a venal liar who is responsible for 10s of thousands of people's deaths (and counting).

Why didn't Taylor Swift have her wedding at the Great American State Fair?

Happy 35th birthday to TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY, one of the great summer moviegoing experiences, though its appeal has faded a bit. The late, great Bryant Frazer reviewed it when it hit 4K. filmfreakcentral.net/2018/07/term....

Happy 40th to BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA. Have told this story before, but my brother and I were the only ones in the theatre on opening day. The projectionist didn't notice us and left the curtain closed for the entire prologue. Anyway we loved it. And now my nephew calls it his favourite movie.

We've been so preoccupied with throwing stuff *at*, we've forgotten that we can drop stuff *on*.

Relented and picked up the Jackie Chan Breakout Hits! set because I had so much fun revisiting the Police Story Trilogy in 4K.

I see Vinegar Syndrome is releasing NIGHT SCHOOL, a movie that threatened my very innocence with nudity and sexuality when I finally caught up with it at the age of 50.

If I ran a movie theatre I'd do a week of movies featuring "Leave It to Beaver" cast members. THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, THE 7TH VICTIM, AIRPLANE!, THE MOLE PEOPLE, THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY, THE BIRDS, LADY IN CEMENT, BIGGER THAN LIFE... Could be a lot of fun.

Unpopular opinion: EYES WITHOUT A FACE is a good movie, but the Billy Idol song is even better.

Sorry I was absent from my job as the Baby Healthcare Slasher. I had depression for reasons that I’m sure are entirely unrelated to that. Anyways back to my job giving everyone infectious diseases and driving teenagers to suicide.

Had a dream there was a "Murder, She Wrote" that guest starred David Lynch and he played a Mall Santa who was also the killer.

Last time with this one.

scenes without mommy’s face in them are unnecessary in movies. it does nothing to advance the story of where did mommy go

You know, I don't really care if you hate our 'content,' but you don't have to tell me directly. We don't actually know each other.

Fleshpot on 42nd Street

Woke up in the middle of the night with the thought, "Wait a minute, Robert Zemeckis's HOME is just David Lowery's A GHOST STORY minus the sheet," and then fell back to sleep.

Back on my bullshit.

It's so strange to know the difference between my cat's "let's play" face and her "get out of my way" face, which are exactly the same face.

I wrote about the death-haunted JACKASS: BEST AND LAST for @flmfrkcentral.bsky.social filmfreakcentral.net/2026/06/jack...

I think the most moving moment in cinema might be Brendan Fraser at the end of WITH HONORS tearfully saying of deceased genius Harvard vagrant Joe Pesci, "He graduated"--swallows lump in his throat--"with Honors."

On tonight's "Cape Fear" they go see BABE: PIG IN THE CITY and for some reason the image on the screen also projects *from* the screen onto the audience.

For the evening crowd.

The new season of "Beavis and Butt-Head" continues to do episodes where they're disabled middle-aged men on welfare and it's some of the grimmest shit ever put on television.
