Seeing Social Distortion live is tantamount to a religious experience for me.

Brandon Thomas @brandonct.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

It’s even stunning to me how much I e gotten into country, blues, and folk music over the last few years. T Model Ford, Junior Kimbrough, Lightnin’ Luke, Yes Ma’am, Seasick Steve. The list goes on and on.

I’m pretty much done with most movie franchises. That said, I’ll always be a whore for the HALLOWEEN movies. When they make a new one they absolutely need to bring back Dr. Loomis. Someone suggested Delroy Lindo and now I 100% need this to happen.

Dug the hell out of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY. Much more character focused - allowing Holland to really stretch in the role. Despite having MCU ties, BRAND NEW DAY never feels completely beholden to other movies except for the previous SPIDER-MAN flick. Minor homework required.

GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE (2026) 4/5: A vivid slap in the face to tech culture. Verbinski’s punk rock energy - along with a chaotically funny performance from Rockwell - gives the film a feel that lands somewhere between a TWILIGHT ZONE episode and the best of Sam Raimi.

I’ve never heard a human being talk about Mr. Beast in real life. I’m convinced his popularity is some kind of devious con to make rational humans question reality.

For some reason I’m watching HALLOWEEN H20 in February. Each time I see it I hate the movie just a little bit more. Dull as dishwater, lazy, and a production no one outside of Curtis seemed to want to be a part of.

The rightwing response to the murder of Alex Pretti is predictable: to outshout and talk over anyone taking another position. The shrillness on Twitter is especially grating, but again, not surprising. It's Orwell's doublespeak. If the man had a cell phone instead of a gun, yell louder.

Still reeling from how dull and lifeless the last two MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE films are. As much as I love ROGUE NATION and FALLOUT, McQuarrie should’ve sat these two out. This franchise thrived on new directorial blood.
