I did not know Bogart made M*A*S*H before M*A*S*H until I came across BATTLE CIRCUS on HBO Max. Based on this poster, MGM didn't want you to know it was actually a Korean War movie.

Move poster for BATTLE CIRCUS, which makes no mention of it being a war movie set in Korea.

I was at the Nashville Sounds' first home game since #DollyParton died. Aside from being an excellent baseball game (Sounds walked off with a 3-2 win over Louisville), they did a moment of silence for Dolly before the National Anthem.

I think my screening of SEND HELP today might be among my favorites. Just me and a bunch of fellow Nashville residents who needed to get the fuck out of the house for some two hours of fun after the awful week we've had here. Rachel McAdams and Sam Raimi gave everyone everything they wanted.

This might fly under the radar since it's not one of the Marvel comics, but @darkhorse.com's STAR WARS: TALES FROM THE NIGHTLANDS #3 features the mind-blowing art of @roberthack.bsky.social (and some great writing by @cavan.bsky.social)

I watched CAPTAIN FROM CASTILLE (1947) again and I almost fell out of my chair when this shot came up. The framing and the slow zooming in as the scene goes on... they don't make 'em like this anymore.

After a kid asks Luke Skywalker if his father was a Jedi, he tells him, "No... my father was a navigator on a spice freighter." That's way, he doesn't have to tell him the truth, that Darth Vader is his father.

Every time I watch this, I come away convinced it's the best movie ever. At least, it's the best movie about how the younger generation always has a tendency to disappoint you.
