Pfilzing is a pretty typical Bavarian town. A young girl there wants to do a paper on the town's history...during the Third Reich. I'm sure it'll be easy for her to get to the truth. Read the latest edition of Sunday at the Matinee at the Patreon! www.patreon.com/posts/sunday...

This first sentence is supposed to be a reference to the Mac saying hi. But it just looks like I’m saying hi. Which I am. Right now. Hi! Read my latest Halt and Catch Fire piece today! 🔥

Sharing this at the advice of a couple of friends even though it makes me wildly uncomfortable. Facing each new day is difficult with the level of debt I live in. I work two jobs and I’m always so tired. gofund.me/1a1689815

I know everybody was waiting for 11:00 AM EDT to immediately read my latest Halt and Catch Fire piece, but it will be delayed a few hours. Rest assured it will be up today.

You can run. You can hide. But at some point, your destiny will find you. Read about the Narkina 5 Arc, and "One Way Out", the episode where one great speech is followed just minutes later by another one. amywrensayswhat.ghost.io/andor-announ...

Next is "The Price of Rebellion" We are introduced to ISB Supervisor Dedra Meero, and reintroduced to Senator Mon Mothma in this edition. And of course, we meet Nemik. He had a few words he put down in words. Read about the Aldhani Heist today. amywrensayswhat.ghost.io/andor-aldhan...

lol, this didn’t keep going because I’ve been writing all day since I posted this. Anyway I’ll share some more this evening. Until then check this first one out and read all the rest. If you haven’t watched Andor, watch along as you read! It’s a lot of fun.

First up is "Cassian Andor, Ferrix" The chain reaction that led to the chain reaction that destroyed the Death Star began in a brothel on Morlana One, as Cassian Andor looked for his long lost sister. Read about how the story began. amywrensayswhat.ghost.io/andor-kassa-...

It's Wednesday, which means the day before the next Halt and Catch Fire piece goes live. In celebration of that, I'll be sharing all day my Andor series, and the first two Halt and Catch Fire pieces.

It's late night Monday again, so that means it's time for another @coralinewren.bsky.social pick on Director Connections. Her pick this week: Amy Heckerling! Check which directors she connects with now over at my website: amywrenpresents.com/director-con...

Yesterday, I wrote about Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Read it, it's a good piece about a great film. I'm doing great work over there; you should read all of it! www.patreon.com/posts/sunday...

I really loved reading this; it's my favorite of the Sunday at the Matinees so far.

Large Marge sent me to tell you that the newest edition of Sunday at the Matinee is live! I get to the bottom of what Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is really about. Read it now at Amy at the Matinee! www.patreon.com/posts/sunday...

The middle of Halt and Catch Fire's first season is a time for questions. Who is Joe MacMillan? What's up with Gordon? What does Donna want? How the hell do I get out of this godforsaken cave? Read my latest piece in my HaCF series now! amywrensayswhat.ghost.io/halt-and-cat...

As promised, I have another late night director for you all! This time, it's Gina Prince-Bythewood! amywrenpresents.com/director-con...

Would you rather be great, or successful? Though they seem similar, they are two different things. The tension between the two lies at the heart of Joe MacMillan, the Cardiff PC Project, and Halt and Catch Fire. Read the latest in my weekly series now! amywrensayswhat.ghost.io/halt-and-cat...

No late night director tonight, on account of this being the night before a writing deadline. But tomorrow, I'll have another one for you all!

This is what I watched last week: Steven Soderbergh's newest movie, Harrison Ford dreams of a giant ice machine, and 12 other movies! Read my recap about all of them now. www.patreon.com/posts/whatd-...

It's Monday, which means another @coralinewren.bsky.social pick for the Late Night Director! This week she chose Robert Altman and his very large filmography. amywrenpresents.com/director-con...

Lincoln is an excellent movie with a great Tony Kushner script, wonderful supporting performances by Sally Field, James Spader and Tommy Lee Jones, and a perfect Daniel Day-Lewis as Lincoln. It's one of my all-time favorite Spielberg movies. Read about it now www.patreon.com/posts/sunday...

We're back with another late night director! Tonight we have Wim Wenders, director of many films, including the 1984 classic Paris, Texas. amywrenpresents.com/director-con...

ICYMI, my newest edition of Sunday at the Matinee dropped this morning. I talk about Steven Spielberg's 2012 film Lincoln, one of my favorites. www.patreon.com/posts/sunday...

"Now he belongs to the ages" 161 years ago, Abraham Lincoln passed from this mortal plain into the land of legends and myths. 14 years ago, Steven Spielberg made a film about him that looked at both the myth and the man. Read the new Sunday at the Matinee now. www.patreon.com/posts/sunday...

No director tonight, on account of me being busy writing my Lincoln piece!

After a one-night break, I'm back at it with another late-night director. Tonight's is Chloé Zhao!

I know I keep posting this over and over and you'd think some time I just might get the hint to stop. But this is my account, and I am very stubborn, and I am really proud of what I wrote, and I want you all to check it out.

ICYMI, yesterday I started my new series over at my newsletter about Halt and Catch Fire. It's going to be a lot of fun, and I can't wait to talk about this show that means an awful lot to me. Get in on the ground floor and follow along starting...now amywrensayswhat.ghost.io/halt-and-cat...

No late-night director tonight. I'll be back tomorrow with one though!

Back in 2014 I tuned in to Halt and Catch Fire, but lost track after the first couple episodes. I went back later and was immediately hooked. It's one of my favorite shows. Here in 2026, I'm finally writing about it. Read the beginning of my story now. amywrensayswhat.ghost.io/halt-and-cat...

I'm really excited about starting my series on Halt and Catch Fire at my newsletter. I've been trying to write about this show for years, but only now really got into a place to do it. The first issue comes out in a little over an hour, and I hope you all take a look at it.

There's no mystery about tonight's late night director. It's Rian Johnson! It's up to 16* Directors you can compare, and more on the way! Check it out now: amywrenpresents.com/director-con... * The Coen Brothers are counted as one. Wim Wenders is also an option, but only has one entry so far.

Fun fact! Did you know that the actor most famous for playing Sykes in the Dreamworks Animation movie Shark Tale is also a director? His name is Martin Scorsese, and he's the new late-night director over at Director Connections! amywrenpresents.com/director-con...

Except for some revising and copy-editing, just finished my first piece on Halt and Catch Fire! Starting is the hardest thing about writing these series. There are a thousand different paths I could start down, but only I one I will choose. It's both a lot of fun and a big pain in the ass.

It's late at night, which means another director added to Director Connections! It's also a Monday/Tuesday, which means it's @coralinewren.bsky.social's pick! She picked: Nicholas Ray, the director of In a Lonely Place, Rebel Without a Cause, and many more. amywrenpresents.com/director-con...

The General turns 100 this year. Did you know it was based upon an event during the civil war that took place 164 years ago yesterday? The train stunts are still so amazing. Parts of the movie...less so. Read my latest Sunday at the Matinee, over at my Patreon! www.patreon.com/posts/sunday...

Tonight's late night update to Director Connections: Jordan Peele! A small but impressive filmography.

Fun fact: This piece came out exactly 164 years after the Great Locomotive Chase (April 12, 1862). I'd really like to say this was intended.

Buster Keaton's The General turns 100 this year. The movie's train antics have aged wonderfully. Other elements...less so. I talk about the classic comedy (and a bonus movie) in the newest Sunday at the Matinee. Now live and free to all at the Patreon! www.patreon.com/posts/sunday...

As of right now, I have added Hitchcock's entire filmography! Look for another director later tonight, one with a much smaller list of films...

Good Evening... Tonight's Late Night Update for Director Connections is none other than Alfred Hitchcock! He has a massive filmography, so for now it's only up to Shadow of a Doubt (1943). Tomorrow or Sunday I will be adding the rest. Have fun searching!
