This year I’ve already seen seven (7) of the Best Picture nominees. AMC A-List is paying off!

I did a podcast with @whosthebossk.bsky.social about the timeline changes to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge: www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks... Our thoughts, our experiences, and why I've got a healthy dose of cautious optimism steeped in "this being the easiest cheapest thing possible".

Watching #Fallout makes me want to get back into video games. I’m really letting my Letterboxd followers down.

H-O-P-P-O-P-O That’s how you spell Hoppopo!

The best* thing is when you’re finally over your previous cold and then you start to get a new one. *not best

I just remembered one time like 20 years ago during a Q&A for his “Comedians of Comedy” documentary I asked @pattonoswalt.bsky.social a question so boring he pretended to doze off and fall off his stool. So I’ve got that going for me!

I never thought I’d say this, but I kinda feel bad for the Duffer Brothers.

I was joking to @whosthebossk.bsky.social yesterday that I’d prefer Ken Jennings as president even though I don’t know his politics. Now I know his politics. Jennings 2028.

Very strange to me that we have no idea what’s coming from #StarWars comics after like March. @noahjnelson.com

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday @letterboxd.social Yesterday I started both the 2026 Criterion Challenge and my own Martin Scorsese retrospective. Gonna be an exciting year of movie watching!

Who decided that we all have to sing a song that nobody understands the lyrics to on New Year’s Eve? We could be pledging fealty to Amun-Ra for all we know!

My ten favorite films of 2025 (that I’ve seen, via @letterboxd.social. #Top102025

I can never remember the title “Marty Supreme” so I’ve taken to calling the film “Timmy Ping-Pong.” Sometimes I really crack myself up.

Chatted with actor Titus Welliver about Deadwood and LOST while we were both waiting for our Jack In the Box orders.

Is “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” the first diss track?

The final two words spoken aloud in the #Plur1bus finale made me spontaneously applaud in my living room.

cowboy who stubbed his toe:

TIL some people don’t like “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” because they find it mean-spirited. Is nothing sacred?

#OneBattleAfterAnother is a Christmas movie.

Part man. Part machine. All Tussin.

I just realized I’m going to have to suffer through a whole year of people complaining about historical inaccuracies in Nolan’s #TheOdyssey.

The harshest reality a toy collector must ever come to terms with is that one’s own space is not infinite.

This holiday season I’m hoping to get some gifts that are real conversation stoppers.

This entire weekend

For the record, I am firmly in the camp of #Plur1bus is brilliant, Vince Gilligan is (still) a genius, “Gap” is the best episode so far, the pacing is perfect, Carol is (was?) right about pretty much everything, and Manousos’s outright refusal to deal with the hive mind in any way is… inspirational.

Here’s the only thing you really need to know about generative AI: pretty much every single creative person you respect and admire is against it, while the people in favor of it are almost exclusively tech bros and soulless executives at billion-dollar conglomerates.

Well guess I won’t be seeing that.

One thing that the VHS era and the age of social media definitely have in common is the complete and utter disregard for original aspect ratios.

Christmastime Hot Take: If you’re performing “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and change the “scary ghost stories” lyric I immediately lose all respect for you.

Pins and buttons don’t work the same way in movies that they do in real life— they always just kind of… place them on.

I’m turning 46 years old next week, I’m probably one of the ten biggest Star Wars fans I know (which is saying a lot, because I know some really big Star Wars fans) and I have never seen the original cut of Star Wars in the theater. I have a feeling that’s going to be an emotional day.

The roar of applause in the theater when Han shoots first again is going to be deafening.

Fair warning: do not watch “Train Dreams” and the John Candy documentary back-to-back while your wife is out of town if you don't want your cats to see you openly weeping for four hours straight.

Ever find yourself in a surprisingly good mood and then immediately become hesitant to do anything, out of fear of spoiling it?

Mashup request: Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and “I’m Gonna Always Love You” from The Muppets Take Manhattan.

I remember friends criticizing Paul Dano’s performance in There Will Be Blood back when it came out, but I just watched it again the other day and I don’t see the problem. He’s always come across as the exact right type for that character(s). I don’t know what else you want.

Black Spire Outpost (West) is shown decorated for Life Day in McDonald's Disneyland 70th digital Happy Meal game. Thanks to @whosthebossk.bsky.social for the heads up!

My Thanksgiving tradition is choosing a jigsaw puzzle so difficult that everyone is angry at me by the end of the week.

TIL my mom saw Rollerball in the theater in 1975.

Pretty sure “Hamnet” was the title of a recurring sketch on “Muppets Tonight!” about two pigs who were cops.

So Philomena Cunk is pretty much just Ali G huh? (Thanksgiving means being exposed to things I probably wouldn’t have otherwise sought out.)
