Obsessed enough with the @reelblend.bsky.social pod to make LEGO sigfigs (signature Minifigures) of the crew. Going to miss the weekly pod. Wishing @seanoconnell.bsky.social good luck with his new position at CBR. Final episode tomorrow 2/28/2025. Did you know they started as an awards podcast? 😉😉😉

In celebration of the 85th anniversary of Lex Luthor here’s an exclusive photo of Nicholas Hoult as Lex in our upcoming movie, #Superman. Photo by Stef Ceretti.

One week from today, I start a new adventure. I can't tell you what it is yet. But these pictures give you a clue of the journey that awaits. If you are a huge fan of comics, superheroes, and films and TV based on Comics and Superheroes, smash that follow button.

Time for some news After 15 years at CinemaBlend, it’s time for a change. It has been an absolute honor to help lead that site. From top to bottom, it’s one of the most talented, passionate, creative, hilarious and resourceful teams in the business. Working with them made me better every day.

With that thunderous alley-oop dunk, Otega Oweh hits 10 points for the night. He's now scored in double figures in all 24 games for UK this season, and in 25 straight games dating back to his time at Oklahoma.

Half the job of breaking into writing is figuring out how to break into writing. Just writing isn't enough. There is no one way in. There are hundreds. And figuring out which way will work best for you and your work is the trick of it. Every one of us has a very different story about how we did it.

We know, dude. We are watching.

I’m starting to allow myself to believe that Thunderbolts will be Guardians-level fun.

Authors, if you see this, it's a sign to post the first line of your book. “Where the fuck is this guy going?”

So I really dug Paradise! AKA higher-concept This Is Us, Sterling K. Brown's 24, a rapid-paced Lost www.polygon.com/sci-fi/51495...

WATCH: Member Sean O'Connell (@seanoconnell.bsky.social) and the Reel Blend team (@reelblend.bsky.social) discuss the best #bestpicture winner of the century:

I was today years old when I realized Ralph Macchio’s underappreciated 1986 movie Crossroads was directed by the legend, Walter Hill. That explains so much. Anyway, the SINNERS trailer drops soon. And I hope Crossroads is streaming, somewhere.

in other news, given the flood pouring down upon us, I stuck with my hopeful intention of not checking the news or bluesky until after work, which means I wrote about 2000 words today, an entire chapter, on my current WIP. I consider this part of the resistance.

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band you would love to see live

So ready for this!!

I understand that ChatGPT is down and fortunately this is not a problem for me as I have spent considerable time developing a local language model that I am able to run autonomously, fueled by cynicism, sarcasm, and an obscene amount of pop-culture minutiae.

It was my number one movie of 2024. Intelligent, ruthless, insightful, candid, gross, bold, unapologetic, and hilarious. Everyone needs to see THE SUBSTANCE #filmsky

Thrilled to see cameras roll at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on Supergirl, with Craig Gillespie at the helm and the phenomenal Milly Alcock as our Kara Zor-El.

Got any of them press copies, for coverage on CinemaBlend?

We are exactly two weeks away from the publication! Time to start getting ready for the big day..

Polish language rights to BRUCE WILLIS by Sean O'Connell sold to Poznanskie!

My mantra for 2025

Really enjoyed Leigh Whannell’s WOLF MAN - a tense, scary, and surprisingly emotional film that has more in common with David Cronenberg’s THE FLY than your typical werewolf movie. A soulful, heartbreaking performance by Christopher Abbot that channels Lon Chaney Jr. @conanthecontrarian.bsky.social

Thanks. Yeah the first episode really is just a lead-in. That’s why I was insistent about releasing the first two episodes at once. I’m really happy so many people love the show as much as I do and it’s found its audience.

No one EVER learns the lesson of Surf Dracula

Masterpiece

Back on BlueSky. Cultivating my feed to be all sports and movies/tv. Be kind.

Do you know how dark Twitter has to be for *STEPHEN KING* to say it’s too dark

Just watched NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU. Magnificent. Just magnificent. Overdelivers on its promise. Kaitlyn Dever gives a masterful performance, and Aaron Morton’s photography made my jaw drop. On Hulu. Brian Duffield has an instant genre classic. Must watch.

AMERICAN FICTION takes home People’s Choice at TIFF 23. History suggests that’s a precursor for a Best Picture nomination. Runners up: THE HOLDOVERS and Miyazaki’s THE BOY AND THE HERON

One of the greatest perks of being finished with your own book is having the freedom to read other people’s books. Reading for fun… it exists again!

Less than two months until Opposable Thumbs goes on sale! Pre-order: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/710246...

Wells has really let himself go

Trying to fly today and so far, it’s not going well.

Blue Beetle is the best live-action DC movie since The Batman. The villains are underwhelming, but Xolo Maridueña plays a great Jaime Reyes and the story excels at highlighting the importance of family. I can already envision how a trilogy would look.

Quick procreate sketch! 🕷️

Tremendous day at Soda City Comic Con in Columbia, SC. My first time, but the fans are PASSIONATE and turned out in droves! Definitely coming back.

HUGE UPDATE: My Bruce Willis book aiming for a June 2024 release date, hopefully the week before Father’s Day!! I’m telling you, there is no better book for Dad then a celebration of Bruce Willis’s complete career!

Let’s see how this goes!
