How did no one ever cast Ray Wise and Sam Neill as related to each other?!? Damn, missed opportunity. (Can you imagine these two legends on the same screen?)

You Survived Easter! No small feat given the new Peeps that The Company rolled out this year… And did you see that we actually found one (and only one!) Wine and Peeps Pairing this year? (Note: the pairing is real, real to the end.) vintertainmentstudios.com/p/the-ultima...

Oh…jeez…actor / stuntman / martial artist RICHARD NORTON passed away this weekend - right after I watched CHINA O’BRIEN 1 & 2 for the very first time! Even James Gunn knew what a loss this was. Time for an “in memorium” marathon of his best movies.

When the wine hails from "Chateau Vineyards" you know it at least came from a vineyard. Good enough for me.

Now watching, for the first time ever. (I'm mildly ashamed to say ) Is there a great work of cinema you've been sitting on for far too long?

There is a GODZILLA VS. X-MEN comic coming out in May. This scene by @neocomicart.bsky.social Neo will not appear in it. (Because this is a commission, not because it's a rejected scene.) But the comic is all the poorer for it.

Wine for kittens! Kitty deserves a glass (well, a bowl. A "bowl"? What is this, cat marijuana? Well, yes, actually, that's what it is, in liquid form.) Pour a bowl for kitty, then take pictures of their before and after, like I did with Kirara here. He had a gooooood time.
Pinot Meow, MosCATo, White Kittendel, CATbernet. Also comes in ZinfanTail + CharDOGnay for pups! Search for "Wine Pawty Pack" online to find.

Hey, look what finally popped up in my Trader Joe's @jessicamaison.bsky.social! Jessica recently paired this wine to drink while watching the 2009 movie MOON on our podcast (wineand.substack.com/p/wine-andmo...) Details on the wine in the Alt text! $5.99 at TJ's.
The pretty purple hue tells you this is a wine with lower acdiity (the pH of a red wine shifts the color from red to blue/purple regardless of the original color of he grapes' skins.) Lower acidity = a "sweeter" wine, it will taste sweeter and jammier even if there technically isn't any sugar in it, though it also has a restrained amount of alcohol - only 13.5% - so the alcohol doesn't contribute to too much more "sweetness" on the palate, which when it's too high, it absolutly does make liquid taste "sweeter". This is a blend of Merlot and Zinfandel from Lodi, Cali, bth varieties known or lower acidity and fruit-forwardness. The Merlot brings the cherry, while the Zin brings the darker bramble fruit flavors and a touch of black pepper for something savory. This is a budget TJ wine at only $5.99 / bottle. Fro that price, this is a big fat recommend.

Well, folks, I just discovered a new entry in that pantheon - 2009's A CHRISTMAS CAROL starring Jim Carrey and featuring the freak-tastic animation from POLAR EXPRESS. This movie is INTENSE. It is dark and spooky and will scare anyone under the age of 8 shitless. 2/3

We often talk about how f**ked up kids movies were back in the day. DARK CRYSTAL, RETURN TO OZ, GREMLINS (which spurred the invention of the PG-13 rating into existence when horrified parents complained), TEMPLE OF DOOM, the animated LOTR, the list goes on. 1/3

Up in Michigan for the holidays so let the Michigan wine tasting begin! Dry Reisling from the Old Mission Penninsula (almost tastes like an Austrian Gruner) and Blaufrankisch from the Leelanau Penninsula. Great tanic structure, perfect cocoa-like mouth feel, black fruit and spice. More, please!

California-grown Dornfelder from Pali Wines. The bottom of that cork is where light does to DIE. This is the closest I’ve ever seen a wine to actually being BLACK. Usually Dornfelder is made into light bodied, lighter colored, semi-sweet wines meant to be drunk young in Germany. I'm in love!

Every work of art that I *truly* cherish? They're all commercial failures, or at least far from smash successes. But they're the works that motivate me every day, and the guideposts of quality and authenticity for me. Plainly, I'm not alone! Good thing to remember.
I did things in my 30s that were ignored by the world, that could have been quickly labeled a failure. Here’s a classic example; in 1974 I did a movie called Phantom of the Paradise. Phantom of the Paradise, which was a huge flop in this country. There were only two cities in the world where it had any real success: Winnipeg, in Canada, and Paris, France. So, okay, let’s write it off as a failure. Maybe you could do that.

But all of the sudden, I’m in Mexico, and a 16-year-old boy comes up to me at a concert with an album - a Phantom of the Paradise soundtrack- and asks me to sign it. I sign it. Evidently I was nice to him and we had a nice little conversation. I don’t remember the moment, I remember signing the album (I don’t know if I think I remember or if I actually remember). But this little 14 or 16, whatever old this guy was… Well I know who the guy is now because I’m writing a musical based on Pan’s Labyrinth; it’s Guillermo del Toro.

So this was my night last night. Why, no, I didn't go to a dance club for the first time in over 20 years because I couldn't handle the stress of my Kickstarter ending. ;P I met up with a new group of folks. We were meant to go from 5pm - 7pm. This photo was taken at ~12:30am. Good times.

I don't know if comics count, but here's a gorgeous wraparound cover by the great @angelaoddling.bsky.social for a reprint of a classic 1980's comic coming back into print via moi. I love its balance of warm/cold autumnal colors, and the image is straight-up intriguing.
