My fave Marty’s for his birthday 1. After Hours 2. Raging Bull 3. Age of Innocence 4. Taxi Driver 5. Wolf of Wall Street Also gonna shout out Bringing Out The Dead which is a phenomenal piece of filmmaking.

New translation! From Masako Yashiro, a major name in shoujo and influence on Year 24 members, comes a startling, complex fairy tale turned existential nightmare ripped straight from a 1969 issue of COM... Enjoy the masterful one-shot "You Dropped Your Shadow" here!!

It was an honor to write Tatsuya Nakadai’s obituary at The Beat. My favorite movie actor and one of the great actors in Japanese cinema, maybe the greatest. www.comicsbeat.com/obituary-tat...

Reversal of Fortune, in which Alan Dershowitz is presented as an idealistic absolutist and the only major character with principles, sure does play differently now

Note that The Criterion Channel has a lot of Tatsuya Nakadai films streaming, including Sanjuro, Sword of Doom, and The Face of Another, as well as all of the nearly 10 hours of The Human Condition. www.criterionchannel.com/search?q=tat...

Tatsuya Nakadai passed away at 92. 92 is a very full life but dear lord, it still feels like a huge loss.

I love the Athens, GA comics folks. Some of the best folks you’ll ever meet and some incredible cartoonists. Happy to write about them and of course, Patrick forever.

Bird Box is all concept and then forgets to make a film around it.

Wata from Boris admitting “We’ve lost track of how many albums we’ve put out over the years” honestly makes me feel a little better about life.

For the afternoon crowd, my second Hooptober viewing. I really enjoyed how small scale this film was. How the way it addresses a zombie outbreak feels more relevant post-COVID than maybe it did in its original release.

Hooptober 2025 Film #2 The Battery is a zombie film that once again shows that no matter how small your budget is, if you know what you're doing you can make the most of it.

Catching up on Hooptober viewing!

Drop something blue

Fred Armisen made a goofy lil show about our city for personal gain, that was a main catalyst for fast-tracking gentrification here, which has led to a major housing crisis. Would be nice if that li’l shit-ass got in front of some cameras now to do some PR for the city that he’s taken so much from

Very excited these bad boys are coming to my house today. This, Hellboy, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and Grant Morrison-era JLA were my high school superhero Four Horsemen.
