Good morning! For @nytimes.com, I had the immense pleasure of talking to Baz Luhrmann and his collaborator Jonathan Redmond about how they combed through boxes of long-forgotten Elvis footage from a salt mine in Kansas to create their marvelous new documentary "EPiC." Gift link:

Please take the time to read this superb @jamellebouie.net column. It establishes a baseline of truth for anyone who wants to think, talk, and write honestly about Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

SEND HELP is a little like the Selina Kyle/CATWOMAN spinoff I've been longing for since BATMAN RETURNS... Just sayin.

*clears throat* 🚨 MYSTERY TEAM is out today on collector’s edition Blu-Ray with a new 30 min making of doc and remastered sound and picture 🚨

There are like 40 perfect examples of this exactly in TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, but the one that always gets me is at the very end when Nicholson takes Winger’s eldest son to see his swimming pool as a field trip away from her funeral 😭

Everything in the world is fucked BUT I remembered Blue Sky exists AMA

Aw, this is nice. Loved writing this piece on LIFEBOAT for Paste. It was previously a Hitchcock blind spot and I had a blast digging deep with it.

Here's something for @popheist.com about the evolution of Godzilla from the representation of nuclear trauma to helping sell beers.

When the party invite said “dressy.” Neat trick, Sky Man! Happy New Year, all!!

Tonight, if you start watching SPONTANEOUS at *exactly* 10:58:42pm.... you'll KNOW when midnight hits. Trust me, you'll know. I post this every year to horrify @brianduffield.bsky.social

Delightfully bonkers that someone decided these two movies would make a good "comedian double feature."

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

Going sicko mode (letting myself get excited for ELLA MCCAY)

nose down ass up that's the way we cyberstuck

Hey, movie directors - don't you want to be on this list, too? An Ongoing List of Directors Positively Acknowledging Visual Effects fxrant.blogspot.com/2023/02/a...

Took five hours almost to the minute for someone to drop the old "RETURN OF THE KING had too many endings!" chestnut, so here's a thing I wrote for Paste's film section (RIP) about that.

I have seen not one journalist ask Ethan Hawke this press tour about his defining role in the Duffield household, Batman. You’re all lazy and need to ask more questions about ETHAN HAWKE AS BATMAN.

This is sick. When I was a kid we didn't need to ask a robot where to find the knives, the search was part of the fun.

"From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible."

Almost as crazy, FIRST CONTACT came out November 22, 1996 and they STARTED shooting on April 8, 1996!

A GAME IN YELLOW is on BookPage's "10 best sci-fi, fantasy & horror novels of 2025" and I'm very sickos.jpg about it right now 🤩💛

Always a good convo with Mike. Lots of Sliver (1993) content.

Once again, PEOPLE MAGAZINE is out here publishing headlines the papers of record will not.

when you get owned by the kid from Project X lmao

I read the Nuzzi excerpt in Vanity Fair, and there is something maddening about her choice to refer to RFK Jr. not by name but with mock coyness as "the Politician." It suggests that the chance to actualize some Carrie Bradshaw-meets-Big fantasy fueled all of this. Anyway, I don't need to know more.

Sadly, today's the day this is public: The Books section at Paste Magazine is no more. This is why I started asking around about potential review outlets over the weekend. I'm so proud of the work I did with horror books over there, and grateful to @lacymb.bsky.social for letting me run wild.

In the current landscape, you can get a great distribution and STILL have to raise $40K to cover archival. We're on the final push and any donation is entirely tax-deductible. Also, we will send you a cool Coroner-themed evidence kit! #filmsky

Antifa @screendrafts.bsky.social when

The average American millennial man thought it was awesome that Indiana Jones punched Nazis a lot.

BREAKING: guy i had no idea existed this morning and who is no longer relevant by end of day remains talk of the town

Ethan Hawke takes us through his celebrated and dynamic career, discussing his roles in 'Dead Poets Society,' 'Before Sunrise,' 'Training Day,' 'Before the Devil Knows You're Dead,' 'Boyhood,' 'First Reformed,' and more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtKK...

Over the weekend, I kept asking myself "...did I hallucinate that the first Disney Channel original movie starred Diane Keaton??" - and as it turns out, I did not. I remember this vividly because Memaw + I watched the premiere together, this was quite An Event. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norther...

If you need another reason to see BLACK PHONE 2 this weekend (you shouldn't, I hear it's great) the trailer for Sam Raimi's new movie SEND HELP will be in front! If I wasn't supposed to say that you didn't hear it from us. See you there @crobertcargill.bsky.social

I can’t believe we sold out of the whale fall pins… thank you all so much wtf 😭😭💕💕

“And though generative A.I. was trained on the work of human creators, so were you: Every show you’ve watched, every script you’ve read, surely left its mark. You have no cause to apologize.” If I have to explain the flaw in this logic, you are too fucked to fix. 🖕 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/m...

The son of someone assassinated by gun said this.

"I don't consider domestic abuse a crime," is a pretty core tenet of conservative ideology, tbh.
