My next goal is to be on an audio commentary or have an essay in a physical media blu ray release. Put me in, coach.

I want my ringtone to be Ashley Padilla just saying “Jesus Christ”

One of the best parts of getting older is finally understand Dan Hedaya’s jokes in “The Addams Family”

I hope they make at least ONE movie about Jan 6 - or any aspect of this national crisis - before John Waters dies, because he needs to play Lindsey Graham.

I’m signing at Thrillerdelphia in Philly (duh) tomorrow 12-2. Come hang out!

They Will Kill You is WAY different than Ready or Not 2, but I’ll admit whoever’s responsible for releasing them so close to each other is an idiot.

“Pizza Movie:” if the Daniels made “Dude, Where’s My Car?” (complimentary)

I wonder if RFK Jr. and Dallas Sonnier have the same brain worm

Applause for @bdgrabinski.bsky.social for that Gilmore Girls runner. Also “Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice” is great

The Devil’s Backbone and Tigers Are Not Afraid

Hey, if you voted third party in 2024 or didn't vote as protest, I urge you to write down the feelings you're having right now on a piece of paper. Store that little note somewhere safe. In late October, retrieve and read it. Ask yourself if you want to continue feeling that way. Vote accordingly.

Half star reviews of my Letterboxd top 4

People think the worst Buffy episode is “Beer Bad?” Really? Nothing from season 6…?

Evergreen

Now might be a good time to remind everyone there’s an in-canon continuation of Buffy from Dark Horse comics: Season 8-11, plus a graphic novel called “the Reckoning” that ties it together. It’s not a new show, but it might scratch an itch.

Damn, Ready or Not 2. When was the last time a sequel nobody wanted was better than the original? And I liked the original a lot.

My book is nominated for a Rondo! I can’t believe who I’m sharing a ballot with. Just insane 😁 rondoaward.com/rondoaward.c...

I avoided the apps after seeing and loving both Sinners and One Battle After Another because I don’t need to view or weigh in on “The Discourse.” It remains one of my best ideas.

Exactly 6 years ago today was what I called “the last normal day.” Maybe it was, but 2 “Sonic the Hedgehog” sequels later and I’m still here.

It’s now been 23 years since “Sing the Sorrow” came out and I got my driver’s license. Wild.

I just want Roberto Benigni to follow me around and make funny faces

It’s actually glorious.

The new Joyce Manor album is just…

“I would never dirty my hands by voting for the lesser of two evils,” he typed into a phone built by Chinese slave labor.

It’s just Iraq ‘03 again. Yes, THEIR evil empire needed to go, but OUR evil empire just wants to pillage. I’m having a drink.

Just got my copy of Chain Reactions in the mail. She always knows what she’s talking about and I can’t wait for the new doc.

Real friendships will survive “Scream 7”

Stress level: the films of Cameron Crowe are having no effect. Time to pet some dogs.

Not a great day, but I’m not carrying it with me. Starting now…okay, NOW…nnnnnow…

I just don’t care if you watch a movie or not

Bud Cort AND James Van Der Beek? Tough day for the romantics

Food poisoning sucks. Zero stars.

Would be great if my immune system doesn’t give up in the next few days 🤞🤞

And yes this is another podcast I’ve been listening to for years. I’m very lucky.

I’m on another podcast!

God bless the professors who are watching “Melania” to see if they can teach it along with “Triumph of the Will.”

This doesn’t seem great

I don’t think we’re prepared to acknowledge just HOW deep Catherine O’Hara was part of may of our childhoods. For all the movies we wistfully recall when hearing of her passing, you know months from now we’ll remember she was in something else and lose it all over again 1/2

Yesterday my wife rode a full bus home from work, standing next to a guy holding a White Castle crave case the whole way. Whatever you gotta do.

Having a great day professionally, but otherwise, for some reason:

Look, I don’t need another thing this week, ‘mkay? Go back to your preferred AI slop.

Does anyone remember what happens in “Eurotrip” after “Scotty Doesn’t Know?” It happens before they even think of going to Europe. Granted, how do you follow up one of the funniest scenes ever with a whole-ass movie?

I’d trade just about every “Bugonia” nomination for “The Life of Chuck” to get ANY nod.

Man, January is straight-up trying to kill me

Give me part 3 or give me charity!

What is the obsession with 2016? Did you all forget 2016, or as I call it, America: Episode III?

HEY…have me on your podcast. I’m delightful.

You know you’ve made it as an entertainment journalist when you have high-grade FOMO for last night’s press screening for a film that comes out in 3 days.
