This will always be as jarring on screen as going into a toy store with my father, seeing a Dewback and him going “what the hell is that thing? That wasn’t in Star Wars!”

Today at The Reveal: I wrote about a topic no one has ever discussed before: the Special Edition of STAR WARS. It's the first of an occasional feature comparing different cuts of the same movie. And it's free to read for everyone (but do consider subscribing):

I forgot it was Cannes and a reminder only the best and brightest go

finally hit the point in the HH:AM doc that I'm keeping track of the music stingers like it's bingo

putting all my money tonight into two bets: -grogu runs in, causes a DQ and then we see a triple threat set up for summerslam -turtle runs in and confesses his love for ronda allowing carano to win via vinny chase and the boys once again being up to their hi-jinks

well guess the spoilers from IN THE GREY are true

some days you’re just not into the whimsy of a film that keeps hinting the brother is either on the spectrum or he’s going to become a serial killer or a blue heron and it’s fine I’ll never know

DA PUNISHER LAST KILL OR WHATEVER ('26):

I used to shop equipment auctions for gear and seeing they dropped $80k on a whim and it’s just okay is just impressive

ERUPCJA (‘25): you give me a 71-minute film about running away from responsibility and relationships and brother you’ve got me engrossed

Damn rip Donald Gibb you made it okay to bully nerds and then compete in the kumate

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

when I finally become rich I won't have a pussy palace but I'll definitely have "cool space where I can pose my gundam models and eat ice cream and mom can't yell at me" zone nypost.com/2026/05/11/r...

I am sure the staff at [MOUSECORP] works hard on [MOUSECORP+] but maybe the A-Z tab under Action is flawed.

I take it all back James Murdoch and Peter Thiel give me a few million dollars so I can bring back pioneer theater and keep its semi-original home evgrieve.com/2026/05/two-...

the real joy making fun of companies in the 2000s was like "what if the CEO of uproxx was Chad Uproxx" and now it's "James Murdoch's CONSUEOMCORP owns the Tribeca Film Festival, Art Basel, The Bulwark and soon New York Magazine and their podcast division. Everyone will be laid off."

missed the $.05 margarita special and now we're all forced back to the office, kicking stones and unable to experience the true joy of day drinking in remembrance of an event none of us can quite pinpoint but there are free hats

among the other great moments the CEO of a video game store going "there's no profit here selling video games" is wild youtu.be/NxD-KGsvPI0?...

I keep re-reading a press release and every time "9AM TO 10 AM: $.5 MARGARITAS ALL YOU CAN DRINK" feels like a honeypot to get the FBI director and secretary of defense to show up and get kidnapped tomorrow

my Star Wars hot take is they should’ve kept yoda’s first name and we should all be in the streets chanting “Minch Yoda”

Finally FC admits its’ vulgar auteurism fanbase

DOLLY ('25): Gnarly gore fx and then the surprise that "Dolly" was Max the Impaler made all the funnier by how easily they carried around another actor.

I’m always terrified now to go to a Star Wars trivia event because either I can go crush it or it’s “name all nine ingredients of andorian tip yip” and I just know two like a loser

THRASH ('26): You give me a tight 90-minute CG shark film with at least one practical gore arm and it's Australian character actor Matt Nable giving his best "southern American" voice I will give you my attention.

HOKUM ('26): I'm just annoyed the weird rabbit thing was so brief and we still never get what's there. But incredible choice to make the Adam Scott character the biggest asshole ever down to his books.

Hands down THRASH has the best premise for attracting a legion of bull sharks during a flood (a tanker truck filled with blood from the slaughterhouse splits open)
