I don’t know why everyone’s surprised Disney didn’t make a Star Wars movie for theaters during the era they were launching Disney+ with a ton of Star Wars content only available on streaming

Adam Driver is about to Ryan Reynolds this

In this Deakins podcast, Soderbergh explains how he gives movie credits to his family members because he doesn’t want to be credited as anything else other than director. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Boy, did we lose a gem with the passing of out great colleague Jesse. But we are left with a wealth of his artistic commentaries and insights. This one’s a grand example.

Wasn’t Scarlett suing Disney at the time of this. They were both married to Disney and then

Longest 6th in series history

My iPhone Air gets all day battery with medium-high usage. Lots of pics & video, screen always on, etc. Strangers only wants to know about battery. Physical attributes are just assumed top notch. This is no mini. Feels like Apple should be marketing at the battery conscious

Updating my LEGO White House

just trying to keep score here, but apps that track ICE movements by crowdsourcing are bad, and Palantir offering personalized device-specific tracking to ICE for finding and targeting "bad guys" is good? Where does Citizen App fall in this

It’s hard to sound like a professional observer of events if you were to go back to last year during and election season and say “well he could bulldoze the White House.”

What M1 was to laptops and mobile computing, EVs are to transportation.

Gonna lose it when the Louvre theft is revealed to be stunt marketing for Now You See Me 3

Funny how that guy wants $230 M in legal restitution from Treasury at the same time his ballroom costs $230 M to build.

Yesterday I went to the Welcome to Derry premiere! The show premieres on 10/26 on HBO. It was awesome to have been a part of that writers room. Watch for a bloody good time! Obligatory storm drain photo. 🤡🎈

I've arranged to run a participation game in January for someone just getting into MESBG, so I'm going to prepare a Last Alliance battle. It's something I've wanted to do for ages, that opening scene in the Fellowship is only quick but was one of my favourites growing up.

- this is basically the experience Tales of the Shire is trying to give - fuming that we don’t have this in aotearoa (if we do and i’m unaware pls educate me) - can someone who isn’t me organise one here please, matamata is a delightful summer camp spot 👀

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

I’m the reason group chats go from “good morning” to “what the actual hell happened”

One side-effect of ICE's presence here in Portland: To fight it, locals have tapped into a vein of Portland Weirdness that I thought was thoroughly mined out by 2013 or so. #KeepPortlandPortland

Photographer: Okay, great so for this shot - we’d love to have you both smiling if that’s okay? Mellody: Sure ☺️ George: Go absolutely hard and look like I’m in a death cutscene in the Arkham Games, mocking you for dying? Gotcha.

Last passenger calls in airports take a more ominous tone in the age of ICE.

Grateful to have worked in online from 2000 to 2011. Before, well, everything that followed.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Legend. RIP.

has anyone checked inflatable costume sales numbers this week?

RIP to Drew Struzan, the greatest movie poster artist of all time. I was fortunate enough to edit the documentary about him and even luckier to get to know Drew, “The Man Behind the Poster.” A true artist, his images brought us to the movies and will stay in our hearts forever.

D'Angelo episode of Atlanta is S4E3 "Born 2 Die"

D'Angelo, the Grammy-winning R&B singer recognized by his raspy yet smooth voice and for garnering mainstream attention with the shirtless "Untitled (How Does It Feel) " music video, has died.

An unmistakable draw of much of the 90s Star Wars and Indy novels are the Drew Struzan covers. RIP.

Do I need to have seen Madame Web before Kiss of the Spider-Woman?

I might be one of the last few people on earth to watch K-POP DEMON HUNTERS -- but finally watched last night and OMFG it was SOOOOO GOOOD!!! 🤩 If you haven't seen it, go do so! It is accessible to everyone; like it will grab you in the first 5 minutes. Congrats to Boey and Erika for their work!

This week in 1977 - Star Wars Disco is #1 on #AT40 6 months after release. This week in 2025 - KPop Demon Hunters is tops months after release.

I been playing the long game (defending Michael Bay)

The Traveling Wilburys never even toured.. they should have been called The Studio Wilburys

Candy corn. Black licorice.

One of my favorite bits of worldbuilding on a show ever was in the Watchmen pilot (I believe that's the ep). Regina King is driving, and baby squid suddenly rain down from the sky. She pulls over, resigned and annoyed, gets out and cleans the windshield. It's brilliant. Here's why:

Delighted that Cory is having a moment with "Enshittification," because it's an accurate word for what's happening in tech and he's the right person to describe it. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/b...

Working on the first Inktober offering of the year - Not sticking to any themes, just 31 favorite character portraits because I’m an effing maverick and I ride on a demon dragonfly through the gates of oblivion, etc. I’ll post the finished piece later this evening ☺️✨🎨

Stare at knife club accepts all comers, all you have to do is look in the general direction of a knife.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

We received a receipt for tariff fees on an oil dispenser I ordered from Montreal: value $49.78 It had three tariffs levied: 1. free(?), 2. 35%, 3. 6%. Total: $20.50. Plus: entry prep fee($10), disbursement fee($14), and merchandise processing fee($2.62). $47.12 total That is a 95% tariff!

Today on Volts: the folks at @rewiringamerica.bsky.social have an idea. Hyperscalers desperately need to free up grid capacity for data centers, right? Why not let them buy that capacity by paying for residential heat pumps & solar/storage systems? I discuss it w/ the head of RW & a rep from PG&E.
