DesignerCon is back in LA this weekend and we bought lots of very fun, very weird, very cool stuff. Just a few samples…

Happy Disclosure Day… day. Throwback to 2002 when I did the junket for Catch Me If You Can and met Steven Spielberg for the first time. This was a digital photo that I thought I lost but found a terrible print out of which I then took a photo of. As the director intended.

The World Cup is finally here! I’m going to three games in person and am legit beyond excited about it.

Can confirm @ny-knicks.bsky.social vibes are good from coast to coast. Rocking my Brunson shirt at Disneyland today and have had at least a dozen people shout me out or give a fist bump in the first 3 hours. “One more,” we all say with a great big smile.

#ToyStory5 is a tiny bit disjointed at the start as it builds multiple different story lines, but they end up paying off with a phenomenal third act filled with all the heart and humor you expect from Pixar. Top tier stuff. I laughed, I cried, I loved it.

It me. The guy who made the big claims about #DisclosureDay everyone still seems so mad about. Well, now, finally, I can dive a little deeper with my full review. gizmodo.com/disclosure-d...

Take a journey through my 2-hour Odysseus-like journey to get 70mm IMAX tickets to #TheOdyssey in Los Angeles, which included 16 different error messages across two websites.

This is a first. Never had my own words quoted to me in a pitch. (I'm "some critics," btw.)

I loved The Lost Boys musical. So, when I got the chance to interview LJ Benet, who plays Michael in the show, I jumped at it. We geeked out about the movie, his preparation, the show's surprises, and so much more.

I loved #DisclosureDay. A dense roller coaster ride blending chase film, love story, & mystery, all wrapped in sci-fi wonder. It's Spielberg's best film in 20 years, filled with all the magic that makes his films so special, plus an all-time character and performance by Emily Blunt.

The last time the @ny-knicks.bsky.social made the NBA Finals, I couldn’t legally drink. I’d just got my 1st cell phone. High speed internet was still new. The Phantom Menace was in theaters. Jalen Brunson was 2 years old. I can’t believe it. 3rd Finals of my lifetime. 3rd time the charm?

This guy has a new movie today.

Friday, a brand new iteration of Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run themed to The Mandalorian and Grogu opens in both Star Wars Galaxy's Edge locations, and I've got you covered with all the info. How it works, how it came about, which route is best, how many are there, Easter eggs, you name it.

My full review of The Mandalorian and Grogu is now live and, as the headline makes clear, I was supremely disappointed.

#MastersoftheUniverse has a very fun, weird, yet enjoyable last 20 minutes or so. As for the rest of the movie? It’s a mess. Serious played for laughs, laughs played for emotion, it works, it doesn’t, it really tries but ends up being too awkward. Great end credits scenes though

If you're excited or interested in Masters of the Universe, give this interview with director Travis Knight a read. A group of us spoke to him at CinemaCon last month after seeing some new footage, and his thoughts on the series and film really inspired a lot of confidence.

I feel the need… …the need for… kernels.

#TheMandalorianandGrogu  is as expected. A longer, bigger episode of the show. It has one or two stand out scenes but it feels much more interested in developing the story to new locations with new creatures than the characters. Enjoyed some of it, left frustrated by the rest

Tomorrow, I add another piece to the collection. #themandalorianandgrogu

Had an awesome chat with Curry Barker, the director of my favorite movie of 2026 so far, Obsession. He talks about how the film came to be, his career aspirations, his Texas Chainsaw film, the wild franchise possibilities of Obsession's world & more.

Wrote about the experience of buying Star Wars Celebration tickets, the aftermath, and even some insight from Lucasfilm.

Loved hearing Dave Filoni talk about Maul: Shadow Lord and, specifically, Darth Vader's appearance in it last night. As a president of Lucasfilm, he's always got the most fascinating perspectives, and what he had to say about Vader in this time period was chilling. Read the full quotes here:

I, of course, already watched the episodes but I’m stoked to watch the Maul: Shadow Lord finale on the big screen tonight followed by a Q&A with Sam Witwer, Brad Rau, and some guy named Dave Filoni.

Happy Star Wars Day from 2005, 2015, and 2026. May the 4th Be With You. Always.

I'm a massive Lost Boys fan. I knew I was going to see the Broadway show no matter what, but I didn't expect to love it so much. Here, I go deep into the show. What works, what really works, a few things that don't, and so much more. Minor spoilers, of course.

Mortal Kombat II is a lot of fun. It’s basically just wall to wall fighting the entire time with high stakes and a bare bones story but it works. Katana and Johnny Cage drive that story and provide some excellent moments but it’s the action, gore and humor that shine through.

The Lost Boys is one of my favorite movies ever. I was very skeptical and worried about a musical adaptation. I was wrong. It’s so much fun. So epic and entertaining. Lots of smart changes, but also lots of nostalgia. I really really loved it.

What's that? You thought I was done with Mandalorian and Grogu coverage? Think again. Here, I wrote down the magic of visiting the set as well as the treasure trove of recent Star Wars history right next door. It was quite the experience.

More Mandalorian and Grogu you say? I asked Jon Favreau what it was about this story that made it fit for movie theaters rather than Disney+. He basically said it was the opposite. They made a story to fit the big screen, not vice versa. Which is… a little scary!

So The Mandalorian and Grogu has Star Wars’ first opening credits, which is interesting. But even *more* interesting is the order of those credits. I think one name in particular might be a huge clue about the movie. Pedro Pascal is first, but who is second? It’s Jeremy Allen White. Read here:

I’m surrounded by assholes! Just saw first footage from Spaceballs: The New One at CinemaCon and couldn’t be happier about it.

Friends know how all in Jayne and I were on UCLA bball this year. So to watch an icon like Thierry Henry speak about them in a totally different forum brought me so much joy.

Was at IMAX HQ recently and got star stuck when I saw they have the white board Ryan Coogler did to explain Sinners’ different formats behind glass and displayed on the wall. So cool.

Happy 10 year anniversary to the best junket photo of all time.

Did you watch the new For All Mankind yet? If you did, you know it was a big one, and I talked to the showrunners about, well, you know. That. Massive spoilers, obviously.

I was asked if I’d write a post about how to “fix or recapture the magic” of Star Wars. Here’s my answer: you can’t. It’s impossible. And I explain why www.thehardpass.net/how-to-fix-s...

I've been waiting for something, ANYTHING, from The Mandalorian and Grogu to excite me about the movie. It shouldn't be hard. It's Star Wars. But, up to now, that's the only thing it has going for it, and a recent video really hammered that home for me. I wrote about it.

Last month, I was lucky enough to visit Mars Mission Control, also known as the set of For All Mankind. It's a magical place. So beautiful, so detailed. So, I wrote about it and why the showrunners feel it's such a crucial location in their overall story.

Today, the world's first and best pop culture art gallery announced it was closing. And no, it's not an April Fool's joke. Gallery 1988 has been a trendsetter for decades, but now, it's going away. Below, I go on a personal journey about what the gallery has meant to me and pop culture at large.

I did not like The #SuperMarioGalaxy movie. I know these movies are for kids, but other animation houses somehow find a way to make kids' movies that adults can enjoy too. This isn't that. It's just stuff. Lots of stuff. Stuff on top of stuff.

A rare occurrence to get Bolton and Danforth together in one photo… with one of us.

What's that? You thought I was done with For All Mankind coverage? Not even close. Here, I spoke with the showrunners about how season 5 was crafted as a purposeful, transitional season, which was obvious even before season 6 was announced. No spoilers.

Ahead of For All Mankind season 5 this week, a new teaser for its spinoff, #StarCity, is out. And if you're wondering how, specifically, this show is different from that one. I've got you covered I talked to the showrunners yesterday & learned some great new info about its structure & more.

The best show you aren't watching returns for its fifth season this week. It's #ForAllMankind on @AppleTV, and this season is about the next generation, Mars independence, and traveling further into the galaxy. Of course, it's great, especially as it moves along. Here's my spoiler-free review:

Just finished #DaredevilBornAgain season 2 in the lead up to its debut. I was on the fence about it for a while. It was fine. Solid, not super. But the final three episodes really ramp up, ending in an all-time finale that makes up for the whole season. Just excellent stuff.

More than almost anything of late, my wife and I have been locked in on the UCLA Women's Basketball team all season There are a ton of reasons for it, and this article gets to the heart of a lot of them. Great prep for their upcoming March Madness run.

Do you remember the first movie you saw on opening night? A film that was so important to you that you told your parents you just HAD to see it IMMEDIATELY? Well, I do. I was 11 years old, and it was If Looks Could Kill, starring Richard Grieco, which turns 35 this week.
