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:

#COBRAlert-- The PS5 MSRP officially goes up today. Many sites are still offering the old price but it won't last. 4K Blu "Slim Disc" links - Amazon New ($549) - amzn.to/4toKgYx Amazon Like New ($479-502) - amzn.to/4c28GjB Sam's Club ($549, $15 credit offer) - www.samsclub.com/ip/Sony-Play...

#COBRAlert-- Reminder that PS5 console prices go up tomorrow because AI Slop & Donald Trump are fucking up our economy. You can still buy a Disc Edition (4K Blu) PS5 for $549 or less before it goes to $600 tomorrow. Current best deal is $100 Off at Gamestop ($450) - www.gamestop.com/consoles-har...

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’ve been pretty much in love with the new EC Comics series(es) pretty much from the jump. If you want to enjoy some A+ short horror stories, here’s a very affordable way to do so.

#COBRAdeals-- Amazon 3 for 2 sale is back! Link goes directly to Home Video but other depts also included (remove filter). amzn.to/4lRPTvB

The Seventh Curse (1986) 📽 dir. Lam Ngai Kai

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.

#COBRAdeals-- Blaxploitation Classics Vol 2, $89.5 - amzn.to/4aZ0yQ5 Vol 1, $76 - amzn.to/4sfqQ7H

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.

Describe your Bluesky account in a single image.

If you’re a grown ass man in full tactical gear asking a child to show you ID or proof of citizenship you failed at life. Utterly & completely failed. Loser.

I've seen and enjoyed THE SEARCHERS a few times before but I think this was the first time I actually GOT it. A simple realization that blew me away. (Yeah, I'm a little thick)

I'm not sure if I have the time or energy to write about it fully, but DEPECHE MODE: M (Memento Mori tour, live in Mexico City) is a unique concert film that's both a tribute to Fletch and a rumination on mortality (intercut with non-concert asides about Mexico's cultural approach to death and art).

I launched a new column on @cinapse.bsky.social today & began with @ryanprows.bsky.social’s NIGHT PATROL because it has been on my mind. Minor spoilers, but nothing that will ruin the film for you. In fact, go see it this weekend while it’s still in theaters nationwide! cinapse.co/2026/01/cine...

Police arrested volunteers for feeding hungry people in Kansas City after 13 years of doing it without incident. Nearby businesses complained, blamed immigrants, and threatened ICE. Two volunteers were charged with trespassing. Kansas City Food Not Bombs feeds 50–100 people weekly. More cruelty 🤬

This article's been formed in my mind since viewing ALONG WITH THE GODS over 5 years ago. With the new Blu-ray release, I have an opening to talk about this incredible film from a faith context. screenfish.net/along-with-t...

For @cinapse.bsky.social - Ma Dong-seok investigates a missing girl's disappearance in Korean crime thriller THE VILLAGERS (aka ORDINARY PEOPLE) - New on Blu from @wellgousa.bsky.social. cinapse.co/2026/01/kore...

Imagine being such a beta-baby bitch-boy that you would even entertain the notion of accepting someone else’s Nobel Prize because they’re an adult who placated your temper tantrum.

Well, I'm upper, upper-class, high-society God's gift to ballroom notoriety

Sad to see that Scott Adams has passed away on such a sour endnote. Dilbert was a hilariously insightful workplace comic I loved. I once had a lot of respect for him. Then he radicalized and torched his legacy with racist and hateful rhetoric. May he find the peace in death that eluded him in life.

Drop your favorite rain song:

I take back everything bad I ever said about the Prequels, George Lucas knew.

"They'll find a reason to impeach me."

A review, an unboxing, and an honest discussion about racism in old cartoons. cinapse.co/2026/01/th-a...

First and last watched of 2025

And then they realized they were no longer Stranger Children. They were Stranger Things

I'm overdue on reviewing the TOM & JERRY GOLDEN ERA ANTHOLOGY because the volume is staggering - the complete 114-cartoon classic run. Includes everything from prior 'Golden' and 'Cinemascope' Collections (60 cartoons), w/all extras, then roughly doubles that with 54 more (all), + 2 new featurettes.

Gone but never forgotten. Ten years ago this month we said goodbye to our friend James Carey, one of the first members of the Cinapse crew.
