On the train to Philly to see GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH courtesy of the Philadelphia Film Society. AMA.

It's from a print ad for one of the NES Joe games and isn't just perfect?

This has the potential to be my least favorite issue of G.I. Joe.

Letterboxd/Filmsky Last Four Friday Three movies of varying quality with Joe Bob Briggs and one Christmas special with Blackadder. #LastFourWatchex

Merry Batmas!

My Christmas haul was heavy on gift cards, but I also received this framed Space Ghost print and pin, and a Marvel Legends Werewolf by Night figure.

WHAT ARE THESE?!

There is much to recommend in the 1970 version of SCROOGE -- starting with Albert Finney's committed performance as the miserly title character -- but the one part I will never forget is the scene in Hell where Ebenezer is bound in chains by four shirtless musclemen in black hoods.

It’s a Kamen Rider Christmas miracle.

Five perfect films in no particular order Strawberry Mansion Dawn of the Dead '78 Out of Sight A Hard Day's Night The Fly '86

I’m in here with my top ten films of the year. As hard as it was to get through at times, 2025 had plenty of bright spots if you looked in the right places.

Happy Holidays 2025! Let’s continue to cherish and be good to one another!✨ . #HappyHolidays #MerryChristmas #KamenRider

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? It’s Kamen Rider ZEZTZ, so I might be okay.

Tuned in to scifiexplosion's Christmas stream just in time to catch this moment. #Gokaiger #Tokusatsu

Letterboxd/Filmsky Last Four Friday The most wonderful time of the year? Try telling that to the orphans, city slickers, and murder victims in this quartet. #LastFourWatched

What, I ask you, is the point of a Cinematrix game with Kate Winslet that doesn’t allow me to play HIDEOUS KINKY? There is none.

The only thing worse than Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” is covers of “Wonderful Christmastime.”

Just found out the Philadelphia Film Society is screening both Gremlins films while I’m going to be in the area next weekend, so I think I need to make it out to Gremlins 2 at least. (I’ve seen the first one in a theater before.)

One more Gorilla Guy down. Bob Burns appeared as Kogar the Gorilla many times over the years (most recently in Larry Blamire’s Dark and Stormy Night). Also the keeper of the original head of the wolf’s head cane from The Wolf Man, as long as he was around our horror and sci-fi heritage was safe. RIP

Well, I clearly need to see this.

Watched THE CHRISTMAS DRAGON last night, which was the final movie I needed to check off to have every MST3K experiment from the Comedy Channel through the Gizmoplex era under my belt. A bit anticlimactic, but that seems appropriate somehow. boxd.it/c4ajfr

Watched the latest episode of Kamen Rider ZEZTZ and noticed they've added NOX's Rider form to the opening. On the left is the Escher-like shot with four of ZEZTZ's incarnations emerging from different doors from Case 4. On the right is the same shot from Case 14. #KamenRider #ZEZTZ #Tokusatsu

No, sir. Don’t like it.

In the left-of-center holiday tale “Toyko Godfathers,” animator Satoshi Kon gave dignity to those marginalized by society:

Last year, I wrote about BATMAN RETURNS for Crooked Marquee's New Christmas Canon. This year, I have something rather less mainstream to add to it. Can't wait to tell you all about it. #Filmsky

Letterboxd/Filmsky Last Four Friday More 2025 releases: two watched on Netflix, one in the coveted NEON box, and one I caught an advance screening of in IMAX. Unsurprisingly, that made an impact, but TRAIN DREAMS is the best of this bunch. #LastFourWatched

An evocative page from Mike Mignola’s story “Bowling with Corpses.” I like his hat, too.

Watched GOOD BOY yesterday, and you can probably guess which briefly seen character stood out to me.

“Even if it’s not family-friendly, ‘Tokyo Godfathers’ imparts a heartfelt message about the families people find for themselves,” @hoodedjustice.bsky.social writes.

My latest contribution to @crooked-marquee.bsky.social’s New Christmas Canon is Satoshi Kon’s penultimate feature, TOKYO GODFATHERS, a street-level holiday miracle. crookedmarquee.com/crooked-marq...
