Martin Scorsese’s SANDWICH MAKER (2026)

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU: It’s good! The reactions were muted but I loved it. With the CGI, stop-motion, and puppetry, it had a real Jim Henson meets Ray Harryhausen vibe. It reminded me of why we love STAR WARS - adventures, fun, humor, action, and joy. Love Rotta the Hutt. Had a great time.

Tonight’s WHAT ARE WE WATCHING (WHILE THE WORLD BURNS)? movie: Martin Scorsese’s TAXI DRIVER (1976)

I bet RFK Jr.'s mouth watered the first time he saw Grogu.

RIP to the legendary Tom Kane.

Sorry, I can't, I'm training to compete in The Mandalorian Cup...

When I see this at the weekend I was so gob-smacked I rhapsodised about it in a hyperbolic review. letterboxd.com/josefk2026/f...

Finally, the aliens from THE ABYSS have surfaced to save us from ourselves. "Knew this was one way ticket, but you know I had to come. Love you wife."

Epic Games and Lucasfilm are launching The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island inside Fortnite on May 19 at 10 a.m. ET, giving players an exclusive early look at 10 minutes of footage before the film hits theaters on May 22.

“How was your weekend?” Me:

Tonight’s WHAT ARE WE WATCHING (WHILE THE WORLD BURNS)? movie: Stanley Kubrick’s BARRY LYNDON (1975) on Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD.

Dope. When are y’all gonna trust Travis Knight? Guy directed KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS and the best TRANSFORMERS (BUMBLEBEE) - he’s gonna rock the shit out of HE-MAN.

I will always feel a deep sense of joy in my soul when I hear Tony Schiavone refer to a wrestling show as a "program " or a "telecast."

FACTS.

Really enjoyed MORTAL KOMBAT II but… does anyone involved in the making of these movies understand what a tournament is? Round 1 was two matches… Round 2 was three matches…. Round 3 was an Unsanctioned Netherrealm Casino Gauntlet Match? What’s the bracket look like for this thing?

Shout-out to visually upsetting Special Edition Jabba the Hutt for making it to the cover of A.C. Crispin’s THE HUTT GAMBIT.

You can grab MISTER BONES in STAR WARS DROID TYCOON today!

My son and I found an arcade version of Mortal Kombat on my campus. My son is so innocent (or naive) that he kept calling the game “Battle Buddies” and I can’t unhear it.

Seeing MORTAL KOMBAT II today. I really have no expectations or hope for it, I’m just still chasing the rush of seeing that 1995 movie in theaters on opening weekend and wanting to do nothing but dress as a ninja and do roundhouse kicks to techno music.

Darth Maul Pepsi Cup, circa 1999.

30 years ago today TWISTER was released in theaters. Jan de Bont‘s worthy follow up to SPEED is a spectacular blend of digital & practical FX anchored by a 5 star character actor kill squad. One of my top 3 PSH performances & the movie that finally made Bill Paxton the leading man. We’ve got cows!
