In today's Writers Panel, @bdgrabinski.bsky.social talks about MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE and the current of his career, runs of bad luck, runs of good luck, SCOTT PILGRIM, perseverance, tips for writing an easy-to-read script, making hamburgers + more. benblacker.substack.com/p/bendavid-g...

This came in the mail just now and I'm about to watch Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice so it's a @bdgrabinski.bsky.social night, apparently.

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is fantastic, ridiculously fun & mixes genres effortlessly. Especially loved the incorporation of HK style inspired action. Of course, all thanks to the razor sharp script & impeccable direction by @bdgrabinski.bsky.social The Valerie needle drop is absolutely perfect

Thanks for all the nice words people have said about the movie on here. www.polygon.com/mike-nick-ni...

Applause for @bdgrabinski.bsky.social for that Gilmore Girls runner. Also “Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice” is great

Holy shit, MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE is fucking fantastic. What a ride, @bdgrabinski.bsky.social! It’s so smart and funny and like nothing else out there. Such a wonderful mix of sci-fi, comedy, violence, and even some feels.

A crying shame that MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE isn’t playing in theaters as it’s far and way the most fun movie of the year so far and I *need* to see it with an audience. The silver lining is that we can all just watch it over and over again at home. Congrats to @bdgrabinski.bsky.social

In @bdgrabinski.bsky.social I trust. #MikeAndNickAndNickAndAlice is a BLAST. Riotously funny, outrageously fun & clever action + unexpected Gilmore Girls discourse. The music supervisor came to play! Vince Vaughn & James Marsden are terrific in action-comedy mode. Eiza Gonzáles is effortlessly cool.

Hell yes

MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE is an absolute fucking BLAST! @bdgrabinski.bsky.social directed the shit outta this movie and all the main cast are charisma on legs. And don't get me started on those needle drops... So glad I got to see this is a packed theater!

I loved MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE and writing about it for @cinapse.bsky.social actually made me love it even more. Writer/Director BenDavid Grabinski made something personal, specific, and FUN here. I go out of my way to warn of anything spoilery. #SXSW

haha, great trailer for one of our SXSW Headliners, MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE. This movie is so, so much fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvDG...

I’ve already watched 31 horror movies this month. Is that the kind of thing people post here?

Its called entertainment journalism

I’m on Bluesky now

The days when fast food was one of the pillars of cinema.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NEWS: I'll be introducing a 35mm print of SPARTAN on November 25th at Nitehawk Prospect Park for their "Val Forever" series. Easily one of the most underrated thrillers of the last few decades. Top five Kilmer. nitehawkcinema.com/prospectpark...

Mr. Chau was like the last person really doing tweets and he said he’s doing this now

are people on this app

I bought Tony Scott’s PELHAM on iTunes and it’s in the wrong aspect ratio and I need to know who I have to sue now.

He’s the ultimate killer. She’s the perfect weapon. Sho Kosugi & Lucinda Dickey star in the Cannon Group classic NINJA III: THE DOMINATION (1984), screening in 35mm next Saturday, December 7th, at midnight! Tickets: buff.ly/414aLHH

Perfect casting.

If you want to know how indispensable Adam Somner was, look at his credits: 22 movies for Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Ridley Scott alone. Whenever I heard his name spoken during a production, it was usually preceded by "Thank God for." Gone much too soon. RIP. deadline.com/2024/11/adam...

Watching Unstoppable with my family. What a beautiful movie for Tony Scott to go out on. Love seeing good, hardworking people coming together to do the right thing, stop a disaster. Tony Scott forever, a king

What are 4 Christmas movies to know you by?

You used to call me on my self-own

They need to bring back these promotional t-shirts as movie tickets:

I bought these at the same time even though I didn’t have a player.

I literally didn’t know today was the one year anniversary of SCOTT PILGRIM TAKES OFF. It’s also Stephen Root’s birthday who was incredible in the show. Time makes no sense. Thanks to everyone who watched. Thanks to everyone who helped. Thanks to Bryan. Thanks to Edgar. Can’t believe it exists.

the six words every girl loves to hear

THE PENGUIN fucking ruled.

Testing the waters now that more people are here: Is this the type of crowd that wants to see stuff like the smart Gremlin pitching a stay at an affordably priced hotel?

moving to New York on Friday googling Dimes Square to see if I accidentally ended up there still don’t know what it is

Just ordered. Can’t wait.

“Waaah the movie is challenging” all you have to do is look at it. There’s not a single movie in the world as challenging as Castlevania for the Nintendo Entertainment System

The Joe Rogan of the left must also be from Newsradio and that’s why he has to be beloved character actor Stephen Root

Haven’t seen any tv in months because of movie and just watched the new season of ONLY MURDERS and the first four episodes of THE PENGUIN. Extremely good shit.
