@bryancogman.bsky.social You were the first person I thought of when I saw this January 2026 Criterion release announcement: www.criterion.com/films/29013-...

R.I.P., Drew Struzan.

Support real cinema, and see this film on the big screen. WBs took a huge gamble in giving PTA a budget of $130 million to produce an idiosyncratic story with dangerous subject matter (& film it in VistaVision). You may love or hate the result, but it will make you feel something. It’s a real movie!

I don’t buy much physical media anymore, but this will be an exception. flickeralley.com/products/lau...

The song that’s stuck in my head today: youtu.be/YLWojxCTi2Q?...

My wife has exquisite taste.

Glad to have this show back.

I love this poster, and I love this film series. I hope to catch this new installment on the big screen in its limited theatrical run.

First time watch. I love submarine movies and disaster films. This looks like it might check both boxes.

Time for a rewatch.

I highly recommend backing this silent comedy restoration project. D&D’s previous work has been outstanding. You’ll support film preservation and get a 2-disc Blu-ray packed with 26 comedy shorts! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ree...

Watching via Hoopla.

Fans of film noir are sure to love the latest episode of The Dana Gould Hour podcast (which usually runs 2.5 hours+). Check it out. It’s a good listen.

Someone followed me to the office.

Watching. I’ll give it at least a couple of minutes.

It happened again. I thought I was done buying action figures. Then, I saw this.

In my happy place. #superdawg

We have lost one of the greats. R.I.P., Tom Lehrer. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/a...

Lists are dumb, but I enjoy making them. My last choice, Le Grand Amour, is a bit of a cheat. It was released in France in 1969, but it was eligible because it didn’t receive a U.S. release until 2012. When I realized I could include one of the finest films by Pierre Etaix, I couldn’t help myself.

R.I.P., Brian Wilson. youtu.be/8UbNwhm2EX8?...

I picked up souvenir baseballs from a couple of my favorite teams.

Season finale.

Back from getting haircuts.

Watching the Season 2 finale of this wonderfully wackadoodle show.

Been looking forward to this!

My favorite lobby card acquisitions from the Columbus Moving Picture Show.

A couple of book pick-ups from the Columbus Moving Picture Show. I already had Randy Skretvedt’s L&H book in hardcover, but I wanted a less heavy paperback reading copy.

Topping off the evening with W.C. Fields’ finest huckster performance, as well as the greatest record of his legendary juggling act. #columbusmovingpictureshow

There was a “standing room only” crowd for the screening of MILLION DOLLAR LEGS! #columbusmovingpicturshow

Now for some Laurel & Hardy rarities, presented by Randy Skretvedt, who wrote the definitive book on the team. #ColumbusMovingPictureShow

Time for some music videos from the 1940s!

The W.C. Fields films went over well.

Day 2 at the Columbus Moving Picture Show.

A fun evening program, dedicated to the late Michael Schlesinger.

2nd screening! All singing! All dancing! All talking!

It begins! #ColumbusMovingPictureShow

Last night’s Wexner Center screening of the the 3-D Film Archive’s restoration of THE GLASS WEB was fantastic!

For a limited time, the Kindle eBook version of Scott Eyman’s definitive biography of director Ernst Lubitsch is on sale for just $1.99! Get the deal while you can. a.co/d/c9esues

Watching via Kanopy.

I thought my action figure days were behind me. Then I saw this.

Season 4, Episode 1

Someone call the authorities! My beard is missing!

The annual broadcast of The Ten Commandments (1956) is on tonight. If you’ve watched it one too many times, let me suggest this alternative.

DVR Alert: Red Skelton’s movie career was uneven at best, but the “Whistling” series of mystery comedies are a lot of fun. All three will air Monday, April 7th on TCM starting at 8pm ET/7pm CT.

DVR Alert: Carl Reiner & Dick Van Dyke’s homage to silent comedy, The Comic (1969), will be shown on TCM on April 6th at 8pm ET/7pm CT.

Ticket acquired.

R.I.P., Richard Chamberlain.

This is fun.
