Definitely my favorite Hitchcock movie. RIP Eva Marie Saint.

Somehow, even rebranding the WB-Paramount merger as Skydance feels deeply underwhelming from a business angle. Feels like that’s foreshadowing how things will play out in a few years.

Anyone else getting Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit vibes?

Also it largely exists because networks couldn’t get the rights to Doctor Who.

If you’ve seen other Star Trek films, you probably were.

And they'll fall together in a few short years.

Luckily for us, Reacher's Alan Ritchson clearly resembles a live-action BJ Blazkowicz.

Yeah he’s getting fired so quickly once we take back power.

At this point, Bill’s probably doing it on purpose.

benwasserman.bsky.social @benwasserman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The movie version at least. Besides, you saw how Bill reacted to Stan Lee's death. Imagine him comprehending Alan Moore's philosophical thought process, if that's even possible.

Maybe, but he's become increasingly on the wrong side for the past five. And he used to at least recognize how bad Trump was in the open pre-Covid.

Romeo, oh Romeo. Wherefore art thou fucking Romeo? If you understand the linguistic translation, it works even better.

Great answer. Pretty sure Joe.exe has stopped working right about... now.

Three of the most acclaimed Spider-Man films? Yeah sure…

If you saw Skeleton Crew, then you’d have confidence in Watts directing a Star Wars movie.

And luckily, we have the records to bring them all back.

Can anyone believe Titanfall 2 is approaching its tenth anniversary? The game still looks and plays remarkably well.

All the more reason to not vote her back in, so the leverage becomes worthless.

Luckily it’s going to fail in the long run.

benwasserman.bsky.social @benwasserman.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

You done whining? Then get back to planning a merger break up in 3-5 years.

000

benwasserman.bsky.social @benwasserman.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Then we better work on finding everyone.

I guess that’s the power of Denis Villeneuve.

Well Sicario came out in 2015. A lot changed since then…

The bigger irony is that Taylor Sheridan wrote that script.

it's funny but also a reminder that the fundamental premise here is that a Black man can't be objective when talking about race while a white man can because Black people do identity politics and white people do facts and this my friends is what I have named "white empiricism"

If we don't end our reviews on some kind of dorky pun, what kind of critics are we?

Thoughts on Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, 9/11, and how the benchmark-setting superhero film doubled as a form of catharsis for a grieving New York City. And, at the time, the United States as a whole. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Spider-Man and the Memory of 9/11 New York in Cinema

The memory of 9/11 feels different on its 25th anniversary, but the first Spider-Man movie gave grieving Americans some much-needed catharsis.

A reminder that evangelical doctrine, up to and including the wildly popular Left Behind book series where the Democratic president essentially does exactly this, has for decades insisted this is how the antichrist will reveal himself.

Seeing how Optimus’ tagline is “Freedom is the right of all sentient beings,” they really had to uphold his ideals.

I feel like The Boys considered a scene like this, before thinking it’s too crazy even for its universe.

Hey everybody. On the 25-year anniversary, we're reprinting the much revered 9/11 edition of The Onion and sending that free to every member this month. It's been 25 long years. Look back in anger.
