That Ryan Gosling stock I invested in back in 2011 keeps paying off. #ProjectHailMary

One of the worst aspects of the digital workplace is that, without warning, great co-workers are gone, and nobody says anything about it. Really feeling nervous about my own future, but more than anything, I'm scared/upset for so many talented writers and editors I know who deserve so much better.

First time in my life my favorite movie of the year won Best Picture.

Coming back from lunch to see the news that Max Landis is writing a G.I. Joe movie…

Me and all my media friends reading this news that Paramount will buy Warner Bros instead of Netflix

Fuuuuuuck. Larry Ellison will control tiktok, CBS, and CNN. Bari Weiss will run the latter. Oligarchy nightmare.

Paramount getting control of WB is a further descent into fascism. This isn’t about theatrical releases or physical media. This is about MAGA further controlling the news and Trump wedging his way into Hollywood influence. This is disastrous in ways that will be far-reaching.

Shhhhhhiiiiitttttttt….. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

#Hoppers might be Pixar’s funniest/most straight forward comedy since the first Toy Story. If feels like Pixar’s version of a DreamWorks movie if that makes any sense. I had a great time and laughed a lot and would highly recommend seeing it in theaters.

Staring into the abyss in a 7-Eleven.

What do you mean the Winter Olympics don’t have snowball fights?

Got to write about one of my favorite movies of 2025 for @movieweb that sadly received no love from the Academy. Check out Sorry, Baby on HBO Max. movieweb.com/sorry-baby-b...

#WonderMan is excellent. One of the best MCU series by a wide margin. It’s funny, has excellent characters, and works because it is basically a comedy that happens to exist in a superhero world. I hope Marvel makes more Wonder Man and more shows like it.

As someone who went to see 2009’s Friday the 13th and Drag Me to Hell on opening day in high school, I had high hopes for Send Help and oh did it deliver. Raimi goes full Raimi and I had a blast! Can’t wait to see it again.

Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, Solo, The Mandalorian, Andor, and Skeleton Crew, are some of my favorite Star Wars stories ever and all happened during Kathleen Kennedy’s tenure as the head of Lucasfilm. I have many great memories tied to this era of Star Wars, and a lot of it is because of her.

2025 was grim for the movie industry…but great for movies. Here are my top 20 favorite films of the year.

Andor Season 2…with those final episodes of Skeleton Crew coming a close second.

With the year coming to a close, I got to write up the 10 best superhero movie entries of 2025 for @movieweb.bsky.social. movieweb.com/best-superhe...

It is surreal to think The Force Awakens came out ten years ago. It is strange to think how much has changed around Star Wars since it came out. But you know what? The movie still rules. Loved it then, still love it today, will hopefully love it in another ten years. movieweb.com/star-wars-th...

As someone who played so many hours of Episode 1 Racer, I will buy this on day one.

Disney's AI deal was inevitable, but it's still depressing as hell.

This news is so awful I wanted to just go back to bed and not think about today. Truly loving in the worst timeline right now.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss my grandma. But this wouldn’t be her. It’s an algorithmic approximation of a person. It’s not really them so therefore it isn’t my grandma. This is downright offensive to think they can replace our loved ones and an absolute ghoulish headline.

Guess I found what’s going on Christmas morning.

I still can’t believe it.

Just a bleak day for the film industry. Don’t think I’ve ever been this depressed about the future of a medium I love so much.

the new CBS/Paramount is clearly dominated by dim, right wing dudebros, who want to make lowest common denominator bait for other, dim, white, right wing dudebros

Okay, rude. I can’t believe KPop Demon Hunters and Hazbin Hotel didn’t shave this number down…unless this is the aged down number?!

Finally finished my Thanksgiving left overs. 10 turkey sandwiches in 5 days. Till next year.

Of course, the Brainiac shortlist is revealed two days after I wrote this list. Still, check it out and let me know what you think of these picks and who you would want to see as Superman's most famous foe who has yet to grace the big screen. movieweb.com/superman-man...

I really wanted to like Ella McCay. I tried to meet it on every level, but the entire runtime I was left feeling baffled. It doesn’t work as a comedy or drama, and the entire film is a waste of very talented individuals. I was hoping for a James L. Brooks comeback but sadly a real whiff.

#AvatarFireandAsh is the Return of the Jedi of the Avatar series. Even if it falls slightly below it’s predecessors, it is still REALLY good with some incredibly powerful and emotionally resonate beats that got tears out of me. Awe inspiring visuals and filmmaking. I just love these movies so much.

I decided to say something nice about The Rise of Skywalker, and a particular Star Wars quote that has been on my mind a lot lately.

Excellent piece about 2018's The Predator by @britthates.bsky.social Think this movie still stands as one of the biggest disappointments I've had this past decade. I'm so glad The Predator franchise is back on track.

Alright I fucking wrote about this. It was apparently necessary to vent my rage about this this afternoon, because that took me two hours to get it all out and onto the page.

I lost count of how many times I fist bumped the air during #PredatorBadlands. To borrow a phrase from Blank Check “it owns bones!” This was the Predator movie I think I’ve been waiting for since I discovered the franchise at 10 years old. Cannot recommend enough.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Clearly getting ready for Halloween

“I’m the worlds most dangerous Predator” My Edward Cullen/Predator mashup is my most absurd costume. Happy Halloween everyone!

For TIME I went long on the bumbling white men at the heart of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, EDDINGTON, and THE MASTERMIND.

studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:

Drew Struzan made some of the greatest movie posters of all time, ones that were more than promotional material but breathtaking works of art. These two hung on my wall all four years of high school, so they will always hold a special place in my heart. R.I.P. Drew Struzan.

Terribly sad news about one of the greats. Diane Keaton has died at 79. people.com/diane-keaton...

Oh my god a Jar Jar and Kelleran Beq team-up sounds so fun!

Already adding Zatanna to my pull list. Seriously between Zatanna Bring Down the House and the All-In Mini-Series, love how much DC is pushing Zatanna forward.

Talk about an interesting week. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday
