You’ve really got to believe in retribution to get through the day. And I don’t believe in the divine, so we got to make it happen

Theme song and score by Sparks of all people

Goldfinger is a great song, but it’s wild they rhyme “gold” with “cold” three different ways in it

"Oh, they must not have made any Batman or Superman movies I guess" "They've actually made four Batman movies, three Superman movies, a Batman vs. Superman movie, a Wonder Woman movie AND a Justice League movie and none did as well as Aquaman"

It'd be extremely funny to tell someone from 2003 that the highest-grossing DC movie of all time is an Aquaman movie

Listening to the Thunderbolts* commentary now and it's night and day. Jake Schreier can actually speak intelligently about HOT TO EXECUTE his ideas and even flags moments that he doesn't think worked as well as he wanted due to lack of time

Essential Superman Scholarship

Truly wild that there hasn't been a Captain Marvel ongoing for a year and a half

Guilllermo Del Toro movies only getting craft Oscar noms for his movies that also get BP nominations is funny to me, because are you telling me Crimson Peak was less deserving of costume and set design awards than Shape of Water?

Now's a great day to listen to the first episode of the podcast where my wife and I are watching every movie starring an actor from Friends because we covered the original Masters of the Universe with Courteney Cox!

This He-Man trailer where He-Man wears a button-up shirt the whole time is reminding me of that time they made a Tarzan movie with Alexander Skarsgaard where he wore pants the whole time.

Kenneth Branagh seething that he was 30 years too early to get a bunch of Oscar nominations for his Frankenstein adaptation

A role written for Edward James Olmos!

I feel like watching the Oscars is more fun when there's an obvious villain to root against (looking at you Emilia Perez) but this is largely just a great crop of noms

Watching Crimewave for the first time as Raimi-prep for Send Help and enjoying it way more than I thought I would

It’s amazing that the Wachowskis squeezed Speed Racer, Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending out of Warner Bros before that gravy train stopped, but the Matrix is so good that it is reasonable it earns you a “three strike” box office bomb system no other director has ever been given

Finally catching up with Ironheart and I had no idea Alden Erenreich was in this, but man is that guy good

For all those who grew up on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles VHS, I share with you this video of Jason Alexander

Thank you X-Men nerds for paying off my student loans

Threw on Multiverse of Madness as a little Raimi rewatch before Send Help and am still amused that people think this is Wanda character assassination when she’s shown to be the only person to ever resist the haunted book that makes you evil

Really enjoying Sam Raimi's AMA

Wife and I are getting crabcakes and seeing Send Help in what may be the greatest day of my life in two weeks.

The almost confirmed rumor is that the next pinball machine from the biggest pinball company is going to be Pokemon themed and it's very funny that because this is a hobby where people have to have $10k to drop on home machines a lot of the pinball forums are like "Who wants a kiddie theme?"

Love how easy it is to read that quote in Raimi's voice

When I go to see an Avatar in theaters I have to make the decision to be attracted to Na’vi because I’m not about to sit in a dark theater for three hours and not be turned on

Now watching: Game Over (2003) A low-budget movie company bought the footage from 5 Sega CD FMV games (including one unreleased one) and then just strung them together with a flimsy frame story of a guy being strapped into a VR headset and tortured by AI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5NB...

A truly demented moment from this movie

Just learned that Harland Williams turned down George of the Jungle and MAN what a different movie that would be

I think if they hadn't have dropped the Henson Company, and maybe had an actual comedy writer do a punch up on the turtle's jokes during ADR, TMNT 3 would be an actually good movie

Maybe I'm just a simple minded man, but really shocked they never went with "multiple evil sharks" for a Jaws sequel

Live your life so the only thing people make fun of you for when you die is that you lived in a Dilbert-shaped house, made your ex-wife your assistant, married a 20-something Instagram model 31 years your junior who divorced you after two years, and tried to launch a vegetarian frozen Dilburrito

While those in the know have been aware of Scott Adams crankery for a very long time, it's wild to think that if he hadn't have launched a podcast that eventually got him kicked out of newspapers in 2023 the second line of his NYT obituary wouldn't have the word "racist" in it

What's great about the new season of Monarch is there's no way they can waste time by having every member of the main cast resist the call AGAIN so they can focus on all the fun parts of the show instead

Rewatching Bound and thinking about how much this feels like arch early Coens and how Ethan Coen is now like “aw man, I could have been making these aw shit aw fuck”

When I was in London I went to the Prince Charles Cinema for their mystery movie because their list was full of so many bangers and ended up seeing Shanghai Noon but they apparently played Hellzapoppin' (one of top four faves that NEVER PLAYS) for the very next one letterboxd.com/thepcc/list/...

Watched the first half of KPOP Demon Hunters finally and was loving it, but man oh man the second half gets bogged down in that overly didactic messaging that plagues so much of kids media today.

Batman Returns rules because there's a movie-long mystery of what Penguin is up to, but he gets distracted and runs for mayor, then after that fails he goes back to kidnapping every firstborn son of Gotham which is foiled offscreen then he decides to use penguins with rocket launchers on their backs

Just a reminder that the 2011 Golden Globes had the wildest field of Best Picture nominees anyone has ever chosen

Rewatching F8 of the Furious and while I get why people think of 9 and 10 as part of the decline of the franchise; I don’t get why this gets looped in too

Can’t believe we’re only a few weeks out from a new Raimi flick!

Spending the night with one of my (guilty?) pleasures the 2010 Joe Johnston Wolfman remake

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

Still amazing to think how the anthology style of the initial Fast and Furious trilogy that was necessitated by actors not wanting to come back was a negative for the films as they came out, but is now the reason for the series' longevity

When are we get elaboration on Canon Pansexual Dominic Torretto

Watching Marvel go all in on comics speculation with blind bags has me nervously looking at '90s foil covers and bankruptcy all over again

Selling volumes 1-5 of the Claremont Uncanny X-Men omnibuses and issues 1-23 (only missing 24) of the 1977 Marvel Godzilla series if anyone's interested. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?i...

In Send Help do you think Rachel McAdams will be made fun of for driving Raimi’s Oldsmobile?

Really convinced we're less than 10 years out from carpet coming back in fashion

The Captain America Brave New World commentary is extremely funny because it's Julius Onah and his cinematographer constantly listing the inspirations behind every shot and moment and not a single one of them lives up to what they were inspired by.

Pinball league's taking a winter break, should I go see Coffey or The Godfather in theaters tonight?
