I'm pretty sure I'll never buy a product or take advice from someone who can't figure out how to attach that little microphone to their clothing.

Our old friend Steven Grives (Alan Denson) makes an appearance as a baddie on Mission: Impossible 1988. #TheSandbaggers

You know what I miss? The forty-plus years of performances John Belushi might have gifted us with.

Apparently there are a bunch of websites that reproduce social media posts, then summarize them, and call that an article. That's just lazy.

If only there were something newsworthy going on in Washington....

I love the original Mission: Impossible (1966-73), but oh boy they did a lousy job of hiding their stunt people's faces.

I'd listen to that Booklist guy.

Booklist calls the QUARRY series "one perfect book after another" and QUARRY'S REUNION "an entirely appropriate finale to this touching story and to a long, hard life."

This ad was on FB. Guy couldn't be bothered to proofread and correct the AI-generated misspellings.

Apparently this was the first film for Stuart Margolin AND Robert Ito.

Amazing book. So incredibly well executed.

The Devil Takes You Home is only $1.99 everywhere! I could tell you it won the Stoker and Shirley Jackson awards and was an Edgar, Locus, Dragon, and Goodreads finalist, but I won’t. Instead, I’ll share my favorite 1-star reviews! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09N... bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

WHY ARE THEY ENGLISH-SUBTITLING TELEVISION COMMERCIALS THAT ARE ALREADY IN ENGLISH?

Excerpt from an email I received today from a publicist. I've never heard of her, or the publisher, but somehow she knows I've read a horror novel recently.

"Hi david,

I hope your August is wrapping up nicely! Since you've read a horror leaning thriller recently, I'm flagging a debut novel in the same vein that you may love."

Why is no one talking about Mr. Curry's delicious performance as King Chicken in Duckman?

Funny how a lot of the news stories about this put the word offensive in quotation marks. As though there were any doubt the costume is offensive.

They had an ideal opportunity to make a terrific Bond spoof. They took the serious route instead. Bad decision.

Now reading. Irwin Allen bought this and the similarly-themed The Glass Inferno, by Robinson and Scortia, so he could make The Towering Inferno. Stern's first novel, 1958's The Bright Road to Fear, won an Edgar Award.

Gotta love the Miskin Law commercial in which the lawyers sit around telling each other things they already know.

I watched every episode of this show, first run. It was Must-See Bad TV.

Reading The Secrets We Hide, by @karinslaughter.com, with an eye to reviewing in my newspaper column. As usual, it's very good.

I see Tim Hortons is doing a Harry Potter promo. Is a name change to Terf Hortons next? Who's up for a boycott?

Watching this on Tubi. Heard of it years ago, but hadn't seen it until now.

Reading Mark Binelli's forthcoming biography of Martin Scorsese, Just a Shot Away, for a @ala-booklist.bsky.social review. A rich and revelatory life story, well told.

I just read @andyrichter.co's wonderful Elf Unwrapped, co-written with @aaronkaro.bsky.social, publishing in November. It's a celebration of Elf (2003), a very interesting making-of, and just a hugely entertaining story.

I love me some post-apocalyptic horror. Them, by W.H. Chizmar, ticks every box on a horror-lover's list. Terrifically terrifying.

@richardchizmar.bsky.social, I can't seem to find Billy on Bluesky. Let him know I'm really enjoying Them, if you get a chance? (In related news, I filed my @ala-booklist.bsky.social review of Killing the Boogeyman. Verdict: I likes it.)

Reading The Taper Man by @nickharkaway.com for a @ala-booklist.bsky.social review. Espionage fiction the way it ought to be.

Bookman 📚 @bookman.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Reading Hell on Wheels, a history of biker movies by @drstephencarver.bsky.social, for a review in @ala-booklist.bsky.social. Spoiler alert: it's a lot of fun.

Another big-name writer, another misunderstanding of what begging the question means.

Try as I might, I can't understand the difference between four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Are there additional wheels I don't know about?

There are recent books entitled US DARK FEW and US DEADLY FEW. It feels like that should be "we," not "us." Thoughts?

Someday, somebody will write a book that explains why so many influencers, celebrity podcasters, and opinion-swayers are profoundly, catastrophically stupid.

It's amazing the way scientific and cultural institutions have allowed themselves to be debased by the Trump administration. Not a backbone among them.

Walking on the beach, I was surprised to hear a conversation between some sand and a small patch of gravel. The sand was mad that a dog peed on it. I understood the sediment.

The only films that should be judged on their historical accuracy are those that claim to be historically accurate.

Laughing my ass off listening to people quibble about the "historical" accuracy of a movie based on a poem based on mythology.
