I’m thrilled to be back on MOHV (the greatest show on the planet) to share an edit of chase scenes from SOV movies. Watch tonight!

AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK (2024, Jones): “It was like seeing The Matrix (1999) for the first time.” “Love that video.” Supremely funny, cannot recommend it enough. There’s a gag with a fisherman’s coat that gave me the biggest laugh I’ve had all year.

It's shocking how much better for my brain it is to browse the internet on an actual computer vs. mobile. I find myself spending a lot more time actually reading things people have written instead of scrolling into oblivion.

The 40-minute featurette on the AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK Blu-ray, where INFINITY TRAIN creator Owen Dennis explains, step by step, how he constructed the mind-melting climax of the film, may be the Special Feature of the year.

This is what peak movie directing looks like. Toby Jones (@tobytobyjones.bsky.social) on the set of AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK (available now on Blu-ray)

We’re joined again by @tobytobyjones.bsky.social for an @talksimpsonspod.bsky.social ep discussing Lady Bouvier’s Lover! Listen everywhere to learn about the value of animation cels: talkingsimpsons.libsyn.com/talking-simp...

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, but it was a weird choice to make Mario lay on the ground totally immovable for one full hour each time he takes damage

I was interviewed for this personal video essay about OK KO! by @somefeatures.bsky.social!

Out early on our Patreon, @tobytobyjones.bsky.social is back on @talksimpsonspod.bsky.social to chat Lady Bouvier’s Lover! We chronicle Abe’s Graduate-referential love for Marge’s mom, plus there’s an outsized amount of talk on animation cel collecting! www.patreon.com/posts/138610...

Here it is: the long awaited BLUESKY EDITION of the little promo I made for the AJ Goes to the Dog Park blu-ray. Eagle-eyed promo watchers might notice that it is 13 seconds shorter to fit the 1 minute limit. Unbearable sacrifices were made. Only 37 copies left of the limited slipcover edition!

If you're a fan of Happiness and Feeling Joy you need to buy this movie right now. This isn't a recommendation, it's a demand

I made a movie with my friends and now you can pre-order it on blu-ray courtesy of Cartuna and @vinsyn.bsky.social ! Featuring new artwork by @everydaylouie.bsky.social and @michaelfurler.bsky.social, an essay by @karenhan.bsky.social, and a lot of extras

I recently went through my Letterboxd and removed most of my star ratings because I found them completely baffling and bizarre in retrospect.

September was fake

Blippo+ is the rare piece of art that I would describe as “life-giving”. Hilarious, bizarre and magical. Drink up!!

Dang, I can’t believe Friendship have already released a follow up to Caveman Wakes Up. Huge year for this band

When u go to p in the middle of the night but don’t wanna turn on the big bathroom lite because it’ll make it harder 2 go back to sleep

New Wednesday album rules. Sometimes things can still rule!

Happy 9/9/99. I ordered a fancy Dreamcast with HDMI and SD card mods and it arrived today! Delightful coincidence

Well, it's as good a day as any to start educating myself about Ween's unreleased tracks.

Spending all my savings commissioning YouTube karaoke videos

Season two of Shape Island is out on Apple TV+! I wrote the first one, “Narrator’s Big Day”. It was really fun to work on such a playful, structurally unique episode. It turned out really beautiful.

AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK, the funniest movie you'll see all year, is now out to rent on YouTube and Amazon!

so excited for people to see this. noone has the balls to commit to absurdity on this level anymore. one of the most fun movie experiences I've had in quite some time

The excruciating wait is finally over. You can now rent or buy AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK on your digital marketplace of choice- Apple, YouTube, Amazon, you name it. In my opinion, this is the biggest moment in VOD history.

I am gifting your Bluesky feed with this TV clip about the wendigo that I like to post about once a year.

Finally, you can listen to the great end credit song of A.J. GOES TO THE DOG PARK as Rebbeca Sugar goes insane watching the movie because it's too good.

Really excited that HILL TO DIE ON is out! This is an amazing song that Rebecca Sugar wrote for AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK. It was so much fun to collaborate with Rebecca and an incredible team on this music video. The full album comes out August 29 and it’s glorious!

Finally my TikTok algorithm is serving up exactly what I want (people talking about how to leave Spotify and start using offline mp3 players)

Donkey Kong Bananza also needs this.

an incredibly funny and fun movie. relentless joke after joke on top of joke cadence and live action cartoonyness that escalates beyond anything you were expecting by the end. my face hurt from laughing the whole time. watch with all your friends and family!!!

Went to go see @tobytobyjones.bsky.social's AJ Goes to the Dog Park last night at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social with a crew Q&A after! Movie was a lot of fun, kinda reminded me of A Fist Full of Fingers, go check it out if it's ever playing by you (or now if you're in Chicago)

on AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK, for @cinefilechicago.bsky.social, playing next Thursday @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social. a delight!

Mid-year movie checkpoint, alphabetical order

Absolutely wild that the first CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH album is 20 years old. I had the very 2005 experience of seeing them live with Architecture in Helsinki at First Avenue when I was a freshman in college. Great podcast ep! lifeoftherecord.com#/clap-your-h...

We're going on tour with AJ Goes to the Dog Park! If you're near any of these cities, come see our movie with us and enjoy some weird stuff that'll only happen LIVE at these screenings!

It’s an honor to see AJDP covered by one of my favorite online video artisans!

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing @tobytobyjones.bsky.social (AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK) for an upcoming project, and in the middle of it, a terrible thing* happened that won't make the final version... But you can witness the horror of it here. *A pile of stuff fell off my desk.

Okay! Here is the full theatrical trailer for our absurd microbudget comedy movie AJ GOES TO THE DOG PARK, coming soon via @musicboxfilms.com's Doppelgänger Releasing label! youtu.be/ROajsOkiEiA?...

I don't know! Alphabetical order. Tried to not overthink this. It's been nice seeing everyone's lists, I encourage everyone else to do theirs too.

One feature they really need to add to Mario Kart World: audio sliders. I want those sfx DOWN and that music UP

Gonna be honest, I’m most excited to see Mortal Kombat 4 included here. Here’s hoping they also add MK Gold

It's Saturday night. Time to hit up the You Aint No Picasso music blog on the wayback machine.

Like any reasonable person, the first thing I did upon arriving at my weekend Airbnb was throw on Tropical Malady (2004)

I love when I click an ad for a clothing item and then the site immediately inundates me with pop-ups. Like, I ALREADY clicked the ad. You already won. Why are you putting additional barriers between me and the thing I might purchase?

Kinda nuts that shows like Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Owl House, Infinity Train, Star vs The Forces of Evil and so many others are so popular but the studios just decided to stop making them. Was talking with a friend and her kid loves these shows but they’ve run out of episodes.
