The existence of David Finch and David Fincher implies the existence of David Finchest.

Repo Man (1984, dir. Cox)

My wife and I are taking her niece to her first concert tonight. She wanted to see Silverstein in Nashville, which means I get to see Thursday in Nashville. That, my friends, is what we call a win-win.

If you like old school Midwest emo, FORWARD by First Day Back is essential listening. Just came out last week, and I instantly fell for it.

"Ten thousand jaded tourists Traded in their hearts and hands for Disposable cameras set to document decay Set to capture just enough of life To catalogue the things we throw away Breathing the fumes of our machines We've lost our way Breathing through television dreams If we could only see us now"

Can’t wait for my dead ancestors to try to convince me to be big on Draftkings and build a website with Squarespace.

Wife: Why is Peacock pushing Rocky as a Christmas movie? Unless he's fighting Santa or Jesus, it's not a Christmas movie. Me: THERE'S GONNA BE MAYHEM IN BETHELEHEM! IT'S DANGER AT THE MANGER! Wife: ... Please, stop.

Absolute banger series ends on its highest note. Highly recommended.

Today’s park reading, paired with a fine hot chocolate.

I finished the Marvel Cosmic Invasion campaign. It's good, but I'm as enthralled with it as I was with Shredder's Revenge. It is both simpler and more particular than SR, and the level design is a little less interesting. Things feel claustrophobic.

This starts the day after my birthday, but I just checked, and they're showing these in the older theater here with the uncomfortable seats, and that feels like cruelty to me personally.

You will never be as cool as I wasn't at whatever age this is.

Anyway, it isn't that we can't have nice things, as people like to say, it's that sometimes we do have nice things and then those nice things get mismanaged by people who often didn't have anything to do with making them nice in the first place, and then sold off as if that was the plan all along.

I may be analyzing above my weight class here, or being alarmist, but a guy who doesn't value movie theaters owning one of the "Big Two" comics companies should be cause for concern at comic shops, right?

Yo, if you're a mutual and want to party up in Marvel Cosmic Invasion on Switch, my friend code is SW-4807-0293-0318. (I know the game supports cross-platform play, but I don't actually know how finding specific players works in that instance.)

I said this to somebody recently, but this feels like a failure of marketing. If I weren't as tuned into the comics industry news cycle as I am, I wouldn't have known that this was a different comic and not a reprint or variant cover of the first one. Even so, I still kept forgetting about it.

Cinema.

Hot damn.

Hey, look! It's my first exclusive for CBR: a really cool Mondoo Lord of the Rings poster! www.cbr.com/lotr-return-...

Another day goes by. One day, I will play this game I paid for.

I'm not the biggest MCR guy -- no shade, I like them well enough, they've just never been one of my favorites -- but I have a profound newfound respect after seeing this absolutely wild list of tour openers. I wish I were rich enough to travel to California to see Thrice open for them on Halloween.

For once, I remembered to download a game ahead of time (Marvel Cosmic Invasion) so I wouldn’t waste my free time watching a download bar only to have no time to play it on release day anyway. Truly cursed.

Happy Cyber Monday to all who celebrate. Never forget he is the reason for the season.

Oh my god. She's 1000% right. This makes so much sense. (Credit: Saradoesbookstuff on insta)

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen Thrice (many times) Chuck Ragan MewithoutYou The Gaslight Anthem Coheed and Cambria

I got hooked on Winona Fighter, and I can't stop listening to this album. You all should get on that, too. An elevator pitch doesn't do it justice, but if I had to make one, Paramore by way of Be Your Own Pet would be it.

Good morning! The new Ben Quad album rips.

Lines that go insanely hard:

"Until Deadspin, I naively believed that a company making money required the company to sell goods or services"

Well, this looks rad as hell.

I guess I'm (probably) done playing Magic Arena again.

I'm finally getting around to finishing playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and I'd almost forgotten that they just went and dropped Elric of Melnibone into this game.

Well, I finally decided to get (mostly) caught up on weekly comics releases. Here are the four comics I enjoyed most this week:

Living in Tennessee, watching the results of elections in other states:

Does this mean we’re unifying the already unified title with the new replacement title that only recently gained legitimacy in the eyes of fans? Because... Please don't. Match is gonna rule though.

Still thinking about the time someone with a large audience screenshotted and tweeted an article I wrote about the Eisners eliminating the comics journalism category with a caption that there was no comics journalism.

Red Deck Wins, indeed.

I jumped onto Magic Arena for the first time in years thinking, "Ah, it's been too long, I'll never get back into the swing of it," but then I built a Pioneer Mono-Red Aggro deck and uh oh

Sorry about the bad site jumpscare, but I felt the need to tap the sign.

I'm going to start getting Memento tattoos just to remind me when there's been a big NJPW event in Japan. Then maybe for once I won't forget about it overnight, jump online in the morning, and immediately have the main event result spoiled by social media.

I've never been more interested.

I've been reflecting on some of the conversations I've been lucky enough to have during my career. I'd love to share those with you, but the videos apparently fell into the digital void after the old site moved off of Paramount's CMS.

One of my complaints about TRoS is that it felt like Abrams tried to cram 2 full movies into 1 movie, but only managed to fit a movie and a half. Shadow of the Sith reads like the missing other half of that second movie.

but ubisoft is releasing assassin's creed dlc that's reportedly been funded by saudi arabia. tells you pretty much everything you need to know
