Damn, show me original Top 10 lists. Most lists I see on here are like the same 15-20 movies. Show me something different. The fun part about lists is learning about movies you never even heard of before. Like, "holy shit, what is THAT? I need to check that out."

Heh. Owls always look so angry. I love them.

I've always loved this song! By the way, this is one of the songs that is featured in the theatrical version of BLOWN AWAY (1994), available on laserdisc and DVD--and Kino Lorber replaced it with a cheap-sounding cover version for their Blu-ray and 4K releases.

On the sixth revision of my manuscript, and still catching weird redundancies in a single paragraph, or missing words, and it's like, how did I miss that during the previous five revisions? 🫠

That wonderful feeling when you're having a meh day, but you sit down to work on your manuscript and your mental health starts improving right away because you're spending time with characters you love. Yeah, I love writing.

I love this because it's going to make Nazis so angry. ☪️

One of those mornings when I can't get Danny Elfman's score from MIDNIGHT RUN out of my head.

Woke up to some fools committing treason in my mentions. So I must tap the sign again: in this house, we do not tolerate M:I-2 slander, people.

The dialogue in this scene sounds like straight out of a Grand Theft Auto game, doesn't it? Big NPC energy.

Having sort of an impromptu watch party with friends, watching TABOO. Because it's a good night to watch Kay Parker working her magic.

Now can we please get KILLER OF KILLERS on disc, too?

Oh. I do like this artwork.

One of the best movies of the year!

Yes! I love this movie.

Recasting characters in sequels should be a misdemeanor, at least. I don't care what your reasons are, or even if the actor died (write the character out). But I've always said it: recasting is for cowards.

Someone I considered a friend blocked me because I said that all American presidents in my lifetime have been war criminals. He was like, "No! How dare you?" Heh, and then he blocked me. Blue MAGA is real, guys.

I answered this a few months ago, but I often ran into Bruce McGill at a steakhouse I used to go regularly in NYC, when I was living there. Often enough that he recognized me after a while and he'd greet me with a little nod. Never talked to him, though.

Hey, let's all wish @marxgbaker.bsky.social a happy birthday. One of my closest friends on here and, well, on the old site, too! And one of the kindest people I know. 💖

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

One thing to look forward in 2026. I'm excited!

I hope I can get more time off next year. This year has been brutal and I'm tired.

I feel like my John McTiernan post is kind of a hit. I didn't think that happened on this site. 🤣

Me being me, I woke up in the mood to champion ALIEN³ once again. As usual. Because it rules, and it's my favorite Alien movie ever made and it's basically a horror masterpiece.

Listening to this, and realizing it came out in 1994--31 years ago, when I was in high school. How the hell was high school 31 years ago? www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tUd...

I'm struggling a little bit with the fact that I'll be 47 years old in a couple of months. Like, it doesn't seem real. Like, it feels like it was only a few years ago that I was 23.

Yeah, I know. Nice fucking socks.

Nothing. Good fries don't need anything except bring crispy enough and the right amount of salt. Also, ketchup sucks.

Simu Liu is such a whiny little bitch. Why not Will Yun Lee? He will always be Wei Shen to me. Just like Michael Ironside will always be Sam Fisher.

Still puzzled about John McTiernan being in director jail. Sure, he lied to the FBI. John Landis killed three people and he still was able to make movies for years.

Wine. Pussy. Money. I mean, I had plenty of the first two in 2025, but barely any of the third. I hope 2026 brings a better balance.

Financial stress is absolutely brutal, and on top of that, Juno is facing eviction. So let's help her! And if you can't donate right now, then spread the word, please. venmo.com/u/junostump

You know what would actually help struggling artists? Universal healthcare and universal basic income

You know you're getting old when a night of amazing sex leads to lower back pain in the morning.

Writer friends: ever ran into an instance, while revising, where you think, okay, I could change this character's introduction to this other idea, which is way cooler than the existing scene--but the new version threatens the momentum of the story? I'm trying to find balance here, but I'm stuck.

And still waiting! To quote R. Lee Ermey: well, any fucking time, sweetheart! 👇🏼

I miss John McTiernan.

If you have yet to see NIGHT CALL, you owe it to yourself to experience director Michiel Blanchart’s excellent action thriller! It’s on Hulu now for those in the States. #filmsky #actionsky

I feel like NIGHT CALL, one of my favorite movies of 2024, went mostly ignored by the film crowd here, which is a shame, because the movie rules.

Why don’t these people simply buy DVDs or blu-rays?

I wasn't expecting much from THE RUNNING MAN (2025), but I wasn't expecting it to be this fucking awful. I mean, at least it could have been entertaining, which is like the bare minimum you can ask from a movie like this. Colman Domingo deserves better. Everyone else, straight to jail, please.

I put together this list back when Bluesky allowed up to 60 seconds of video. I should probably update it, now that the time limit is three minutes, but this is still a fun list. 💥

And remember, kids! Fuck Israel. Free Palestine!

While you all talk about Hans Gruber, I'll be over here, enjoying the superior Christmas movie. (And a better film overall).

Behold, our Islam-tinged Christmas tree! Merry Christmas, guys! 🎄💖

Heh. Maybe because I'm autistic, but I have been working on a single novel for about six months now, and I have no desire to even think about a different story or different characters right now. This one story is my entire focus.

Karel Roden and Oleg Taktarov will return as Emil and Oleg in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY.

Damn. This reeks of desperation. What a shame, because there are some truly stellar moments in the MCU post-ENDGAME, like LOKI or THUNDERBOLTS. I'm even a big defender of SHANG-CHI. But this? I cannot sanction this buffoonery.

I miss the days when movies looked like this.
