Review of ‘The Running Man’ (1987) ★★★★

Can we please get a remake of this by someone like Matt Reeves? Really lean into the genre-jumping and make the first two-and-a-half acts pure Fincher 'True Detective' before an abrupt left turn and the last 25 minutes are more 'Godzilla (2014)'?"

So, having just finished the Starfield main quest... they were clearly going for a 2001 vibe but it ended up feeling a lot more like a mix of Doctor Who and... Highlander? Of all things? 🤷‍♂️

Turns out my decision to NOT dress in costume for the @danmanganmusic concert was good because @megbluedawn DID and therefore I got to take photos of her being gleeful when all the costumed folks were called up onstage during the finale 😍🎃🎸

I did a dance call last week and at the end the director called all the he/hims up and said "okay now do the first 16 counts of the 'bye bye bye' choreo" and I hate dance calls so much I believed him for a good two seconds

I'm playing an online TTRPG and because of a bug all our attack modifiers have been replaced with "NaN," so I've been yelling "I'm about to go NaN!" when I attack and none of my friends are getting my very good joke about one of the best albums of 2011

One of my proudest moments as a father was when my 11 year old kid lined up for an hour and a half at FanExpo, dressed as Galactus, to ask Stan Lee if he ever regretted the way things ended with Jack Kirby.

I hate Spotify because I like owning my music and they pay artists abysmally and it overwhelms me with choice BUT at least five of my new favourite songs of 2023 were suggestions to me from the algorithm and I cannot square this circle

#Ahsoka    is fun so far but... just like #ObiWanKenobi (which, for the record, I love wholeheartedly despite my next few words)... it already feels like maybe it should've just been one 120-150 minute episode? Is there a word for something like that?

Trying to be more comfortable putting myself out there on the ol' socials, so over on insta I just posted a Billy Joel cover with a little bodhran accompaniment (Long Island is on the east coast, right?) ...enjoy? 🎶👨‍🎤🎤

Just watched "In the Line of Fire" and like... has there been a good cat-and-mouse "hero and villain were made for each other and are almost friends" movie recently or is that trope only allowed to be used for Batman and the Joker now?
