Finally caught up with this. Another banger. Fun and scary and very cool.

The cover of Hailey Piper's latest book, THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT.

Can't stop thinking about the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. I already want to go back, and I suspect it will become a habit.

Case in point: why would you want this weird photoshop vomit as the poster for NAT'L LAMPOON'S VACATION when you could have the amazing theatrical poster instead?

A Plex landing page for NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION with a poster that is a Photoshopped Chevy Chase standing in the desert with the Family Truckster on fire flying through the air behind him.

The same Plex landing page, but now with the gorgeous painted version of the VACATION poster that is a direct parody of the STAR WARS and CONAN THE BARBARIAN posters.

I seriously could have photographed every single piece. The Rockwell room is insane. The Banksy gallery is very cool. The Wyeths... good god, the Wyeths. Comic strip art. Comic book art. Frazetta. Boris. And then... you've got this...

Aundria picked our response film, the Canadian cult classic HARD-CORE LOGO, and I added Roman Coppola's CQ to the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame.

The delightful @gholson.bsky.social joined us to discuss his three picks: Peter Jackson's BRAINDEAD, Eric Schaeffer's IF LUCY FELL, and the great documentary AMERICAN MOVIE.

Okay. Let's see what all the hubbub is about...

This is a VERY bad month for me financially. One surprise after another. Right now, if you've ever considered signing up for the newsletter, it's time. I have both monthly and annual rates, and the annual saves you quite a bit.

What a great panel. I love it when Spidey gets punched so hard he turns into rubber.

Seth Green's haircut in AIRBORNE is insane. Everyone involved in that choice should be arrested. He looks like Hipster Chucky.

Oh, the new season of TASKMASTER is already over? Really?

I feel like Amos and I are saying the same thing here.

Two posts back to back, one a joke about Grogu ending up in porn after the disappointing performance of his new film and the other a serious thought about how much each phone call or email matters in this industry.

'80s ROULETTE coughed up a weird little piece of trash for tomorrow morning. See you subscribers at 9:30. Don't make me send Robert Forster to see you!

Might make this my all-purpose reaction image when I am displeased with a piece of information.

A shot of Inde Navarrette in OBSESSION as Nikki, after she learns that her boyfriend is supposed to kiss another girl as part of a game. She is not happy about it. Extremely.

I love @thekylestarks.bsky.social new book WRESTLING HEIST so so so much.

A masked wrestler says, "Don't do drugs even though they're fun. Always listen to your dad if he's cool. And never ever owe money to a titty bar owner."

If you see this, post something you saved because it's funny.

The Joker, in close-up, says "This emphasis on BONERS has given me an idea FOR A NEW ADVENTURE IN CRIME! Gotham City will rue the day it mentioned the word BONER!" Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelarious.

Still maybe the funniest moment in Film Nerd 2.0 history.

A screenshot of a column in which Drew's two sons argue about the movie BLADE RUNNER. Toshi is convinced that "Blade Runner" is a robot, but Allen is adamant that there is no way "Blade Runner" is a robot. Much chaos ensues.

The view from my office today is not terrible.

Over the top of Drew's computer, we have a great view of a large park on a sunny day.
