We're all trying to find the guy who did this

Add my voice to the resounding chorus of praise for Kenji Tanigaki's martial arts epic FURIOUS. Catch it at the theater if you can.

After learning it's available on 70mm, I rewatched and had to update my review of DISCLOSURE DAY to urge you to see it projected on film if you can.

DISCLOSURE DAY pregaming guide:

Tomorrow is the final day of freeness for this book, and if you want to read how a slovenly god named Golden Boy wheezes off his gold-painted throne and tries to stop fast food employee Sylvia Donner from saving an alternate earth from annihilation, then you’ve arrived at the right book, partner.

Kansas City - Head to City Market tomorrow (10am - 6pm) and look for RED ORIGAMI CARDINALS in the area for your chance to win 2 Fandango codes to see Steven Spielberg's DISCLOSURE DAY arriving in theaters on June 12th. Only 100 birds will have codes, available while supplies last. #DisclosureDay

Today I tried a Faygo grape soda for the first and last time.

I worked on this for nearly a month & I do wish it was better but I was so glad to finally hit “publish” on it: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/william-pete... I hope y’all enjoy this &I hope maybe some new folks will consider subscribing (this is open to both free & paid subs). Cheers!

In KICKFLIP a slightly tubby, nearly-40, white-collar Asian guy finds joy in skateboarding. By some cosmic coincidence it premiered the same month (Sept 2020) that THIS slightly tubby, nearly-40, white-collar Asian guy found joy in skateboarding.

For @cinapse.bsky.social - #WarnerArchive has put out a 4-Film Collection of my favorite (and oft misunderstood) classic Hollywood leading man. Every movie in this set is stellar! cinapse.net/2026/04/the-...

Cinapse has a new home! We’ve moved to cinapse.net. Same team, same coverage, same passion for film. Update your bookmark, and we’ll see you there. -> cinapse.net

For a dozen years I’ve been proud to be a writer and editor at @cinapse.bsky.social. I loved everything about it except for one thing - the “.co” URL. Some news on that front:

My review of THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE for @cinapse.bsky.social - cinapse.net/2026/04/back...

For @cinapse.bsky.social - Gorgeously shot but narratively difficult, experimental Polish film THE DANCING HAWK (1977) is now on Blu-ray from @filmsradiance.bsky.social, with terrific extras including an impactful video essay and two shorts I liked more than the feature. cinapse.co/2026/03/the-...

The good news is there's a 14 for $14 sale on Charlton Heston movies at Fanflix. The bad news is they're Paramount titles so these are Fandango only (no Apple/iTunes). fanflix.co/c/1lu9uq86zd...

I started an alt account! Follow along as I track what Matlock eats during the duration of one of my favorite TV shows. Thanks to @sanshinsoba.bsky.social for giving me the idea 💛

Was Matlock a foodie from the very beginning? Let's find out together, as I watch the TV movie that launched the series!

Just had the coolest theatrical experience. Coming out of THE KING’S WARDEN (which is great btw), the three other dudes who were in the theater (a group of Korean friends) approached me to ask my opinion. We ended up having a great 1 AM chat and recommending our favorite Korean films. I love movies.

(Browsing showtimes for a late movie) Ooh, a Korean one! What’s “THE KING’S WARDEN”? 5 seconds into the trailer when this MF’s face pops up. No idea what happens next in the trailer because I’m already in the car.

There’s plenty about Chuck Norris I don’t like politically, but he helped to popularize martial arts here in the US, and made some bangers. FIREWALKER, RETURN OF THE DRAGON, DELTA FORCE, and EXPENDABLES 2 are good times. RIP.

Been waiting for this announcement for a long time. New Social D incoming!! www.socialdistortion.store

DILLINGER is back on Blu-ray! I can't fully recommend the new bare-bones edition when Arrow's version (now OOP) had some cool extras, but if you just want to own the movie, it's once again available. cinapse.co/2026/02/back...

RIP to a bond company stooge who was also a human being

I don’t give a fuck about Trump shitting his pants any more than I do his ordering steak well-done with ketchup or other human foibles. What I do care about is his calamitous stupidity outweighed only by his unshakable allegiance to evil.
