I spend a not inconsiderable amount of time trying to imagine how Nolan is going to handle the monsters and the gods in THE ODYSSEY and how weird it's going to be if he tries to sidestep all of that to "ground" it. I can't imagine what that film's going to look like.

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about. DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom. Tonight, at Law Dork:

I’m gonna disagree with this one. What we’re calling “AI” doesn’t replace cognition. It replaces pattern matching, but on its own has no idea which patterns are important or why. We are nowhere close to an actual thinking machine.

Huge news. Good news. Notice that it’s not American scientists… because Trump & RFK, Jr. have destroyed this country’s scientific community.

Dude doesn't think he did anything wrong. He belongs on the sex offender registry since he's clearly learned nothing.

Questlove’s #vinyl collection is one of the largest and most legendary in the music world — currently estimated at over 200,000 records.

As dramatic as absolutely possible.

Did not know this existed but I need it in my life right now.

One of my favourite movies genres is 'absolutely pissing it down.'

It's the 60th anniversary of the release of Jules Feiffer's THE GREAT COMIC BOOK SUPER-HEROES, one of the most influential books about comics for a couple of generations of comic book creators! 13thdimension.com/my-13-favori...

Man, ORWELL: 2+2=5 is great. Raoul Peck is not fucking around.

Quick public reminder: if I die and you see anyone do anything involving me and AI, I would be eternally grateful if you firebombed them into oblivion and then salted the earth to make sure nothing grows there again.

Not sure it's my favorite, but I think about Wesley Snipes' "I see no reason... to do that again" in DOLEMITE IS MY NAME quite a bit.

Spend Saturday in the park (Astrodome) with JFC! This week, @crobertcargill.bsky.social comes off the bench as he & Brian play all nine innings of NIGHT GAME (1989)! Oh yeah, we’re throwing you a curveball. RskT to help us knock this one out of the park! www.spreaker.com/episode/nigh...

At a nice restaurant in a small beachside town, and Jonathan Richman’s Pablo Picasso is playing over the stereo. It’s not loud enough that you can make out the lyrics over people talking, but I know how many times he’s saying asshole.

BRB, gotta go pitch IGN on a few stories, including: “Why isn’t Pikachu in BLACK PHONE 2?” “Why isn’t Edward Cullen in SINNERS?” “Why isn’t Bluey in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER?” “Why isn’t Jake Sully in James Gunn’s SUPERMAN?” Am I doing it right?

Sketchbook warm up stuff with felt tip Fudenosuke pen, and a cool fountain pen I found at The Dollar Store (!)

Bill Donohue is not a godly man, and he's got his facts disturbingly wrong here. Anyone jumping on board this train is a grotesque apologist for the worst possible human beings.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope. Yes, THAT Pope.

My own personal Jesus? Someone to hear my prayers? Someone who cares?

My movie Looney Tunes: Back In Action came out 22 years ago today!! Who here saw it in theaters? And where were the rest of you?? I've put a fresh still on my Renfield Collection site. Custom autographs are available from me upon request! www.renfieldcollection.com/product-page...

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like “seduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

For groundbreaking synthetic music pioneer Wendy Carlos' birthday, enjoy her in her home studio with cats and friends

I always think about griffin mcelroys post election tweet

The GLTS documentary comes out next week from @kinolorber.com and I did an unboxing! Check it out and grab a copy! youtu.be/EIoy64QZkpo

Even funnier if you read this in Morgan Freeman’s voice

First look at Lobo, from the upcoming 2026 DC series by Skottie Young (writer) and Jorge Corona (artist).

One of the great moments of this was Adam West's phone book entries:

take a moment, close your eyes, inhale deeply, exhale, and then imagine hearing "livvy" in RFK jr's voice

The guy who wrote the Olivia Nuzzi piece is the son of Nora Ephron and Carl Bernstein which is almost too on the nose

The PaleyFest Pluribus panel I moderated is now up on YouTube. (My favorite part comes around the 33-minute mark, where Rhea Seehorn off the cuff expertly dissects an aspect of Carol she hadn't even thought about before.)

internet is crazy

1980’s Chunky Marbled Lucite Ring from Glory Dayz! glorydayz.etsy.com/listing/1801...

I've liked all of Osgood's movies to varying degrees. KEEPER is the one I really can't stop thinking about. There are some images and ideas in this one that feel like pure deep nightmare language.

Anyone involved with the early days of Comedy Meltdown, this was the delightful Linda Pine who was killed. She was always such a bright light as an actor and a producer.

This series is terrific, don’t let it slip by - great work from Michael Shannon and a show stopper bonkers performance from Matthew Macfadyen.

Hey, if you know ANYTHING about this, please help identify the driver in this hit-and-run. They just killed a very old and dear friend of mine and I am shattered by this news. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmLz...
