You know what’s a great way to learn about film? Books!

Just picked this up. One of Brad Pitt’s earliest film roles. Like many future stars, helped get his start in the horror genre.

Great question! Payment with Nebula is complicated. As far as views there goes, I get next to nothing. However, if enough people subscribe and watch, that can change. So I do actively encourage it. To put it simply, if everyone who watches me on YT watched me on Nebula instead, things would great.

Went to see The Long Walk last night. 4th highest rated Stephen King adaptation of all time. I love such a simple premise. But damn if I wasn’t curious about the greater context/repercussions of this world. A lot of folks in the theater left vocally unsatisfied. But maybe, weirdly, that’s the point?

This little buddy keeps showing up in my office. His name is Zula and he’s a katydid.

If just one person who wouldn’t have watched it decides to watch it, then I’d say making the video was worth it.

In my neighborhood on my walk last night……

I ran this poll on the channel the other day, and found the results pretty interesting. That’s a remarkably even divide—granted I don’t know what the age breakdown is.

Danny Boyd | CinemaStix @bydannyboyd.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Thanks for watching it! And yeah, strictly speaking, it is an 80s action movie. But just by virtue of being ‘81 and the birth of a genre, it had nothing it needed to compare itself against.

I was born 30 years ago today. And I don’t think I’ve changed one bit. This is still pretty me every day workin’.

Nebula approved my pitch for a limited exclusive essay series I’ve been wanting to develop for awhile. I’ll keep y’all updated on that, but I’m hoping to push the boundaries of the traditional video essay format with it, at least a little bit. And if it’s successful, even moreso with a season 2.

Thing about one’s birthday coming up is that every few years it means time to renew your drivers license... Up bright and early today to get to that sweet, sweet DMV appointment.

The hardest part of my job is probably recording. Especially in NYC. Between the noise and the humidity, I’m stuck in a closet until 2 in the morning sweating my hair off, hearing my voice grow increasingly more exhausted hoping for a solid take. But then I wake up (at noon) so relieved it’s done.

Oof. I have to finish this video script by the end of the day. I’m SO close. And I just. Can’t. Get. Myself. To keep going. Blehhhhhhh. Damn Fridays.

Oh I have, just not in years. It’s one of the key pillars of my concept. Him having acted across from so many legends, and no one these days knowing who he is. Granted, yes, it will largely be on his brilliant portrayal on L&O. I’ve the box sets of all his seasons (bc it’s the only way to watch em).

Oh, don’t I know it! I’ve had a video on Michael Moriarty planned out from the inception of this channel. Just a matter of time.

Wrapping up work on my First Blood video that’ll come out in a few weeks. It somehow ended up at 14 minutes AND I couldn’t say all I wanted to say. So expect a part 2 shortly after. That’s the thing about classics.

Saw Fantastic 4 last night. Went in pretty blind. Fun time overall. Weirdly struck a tonal chord I was looking for in Superman, but that felt more authentically done here. Liked Silver Surfer’s movements. Liked the character dynamics. CGI & action scenes though… ehhh. Not a reason to rewatch.

Going into Fantastic 4. Optimistic. Will update tomorrow.

Attended a special screening and Q&A last night of Academy Award winner Mstyslav Chernov’s new documentary, 2000 Meters to Andriivka. Blessed to have been invited by the man personally.

I’ve been invited by Oscar Winner Mstyslav Chernov to attend the U.S. premier of his new documentary ‘2000 Meters To Andriivka’. For anyone who hasn’t watched his first film, ‘20 Days in Mariupol’, I highly encourage you to. You can watch it with a PBS Documentaries trial on Prime. It’s devastating.

Haha, yep. I’m in Brooklyn, and I’ve got one of those a couple blocks from me (granted it’s actually a great store).

Ah yeah. I noticed that at the bottom after I posted it. Wow.

An ad for Starlink. Wtf does “up to” 230 ”+” mean? “We guarantee a number less than, equal to, or greater than what you pay for. Thanks legal.” (I guess I’d better not post this one to X)

Thank you! And also yes! It’s really good to be here. I’ve felt right at home from the moment I joined.

Big news. I’m co-producing a short with my friend Ben Bertic at Hairaising Entertainment later this year. We’ve a Kickstarter going for it with a dope promo trailer you should definitely check out—It’s called The Door That Exits Earth: kck.st/3ICbIjk

I do know what you mean. It’s very hard for me to get to all the comments on a video, especially after the first day or two. I guess the difference here is that everyone here is a friend. Half my views on YouTube come from non-regular viewers. Big ocean.

Danny Boyd | CinemaStix @bydannyboyd.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

I noticed that immediately. Like as soon as I signed up, I just felt really welcomed, but also just weirdly happy while using the app. Polar opposite to my usual feelings.

I just want to say that way more people come to Bluesky to follow me than to X, and I love that :) It’s like 5:1.

Saw Superman last night at the Alamo. Very good time. Did find myself more critical of some things than maybe most of the people around me. Certain aspects of the performances and some of the CGI (maybe after just seeing Final Reckoning) took me out a bit. But looking forward to what’s to come.

I’d probably wait until everything’s settled up, but it’s a good idea. In general, focusing in on actors’ careers is something I want to be doing more of. Only trouble is that they’re expensive videos to produce. Requires soooo many separate movie clips. Fun though.
