It seems meaningful that WB's last movie as a discrete studio entity is a massive auteur folly. Some years down the line, film historians may regard it similarly to HEAVEN'S GATE, a failure that embodies the kinds of films that will no longer be made.

After the tepid response to FINAL RECKONING and the impending flop of DIGGER, it will be interesting to see where Cruise goes next. DAYS OF THUNDER 2 seems like a retreat and a Hail Mary, and if that doesn’t hit, we may be in a full blown Cruise recession.

Listening to the newly released EP celebrating SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE’s 50th anniversary, and it’s almost unfathomable to think that there are cast-offs. Stevie was channeling something otherworldly back in the 70s.

Coincidence, or is this coalescing into the understood way to show someone getting in too deep online?

Chris Hansen is the new O.J. Simpson (documentary and prestige narrativization within a year both about how their brief cultural domination reflected larger social ills)

I feel like I haven’t seen anybody note that the three most prominent predators in PRIMETIME were all former teen/child actors. Seems like a very pointed choice.

Was just reminded this is being directed by Chris Columbus. The chances of anything but reverence and boring nostalgia are basically zero. Should have been Dante or no one.

The full trailer for You Can See Everything is out today. And my first thought is that it should be required that Nathan Fielder film for 48 hrs at every tech CEO’s home.

Job list is now up to 10 potential positions (and 3 applications completed). Hoping I can at least double that number before next summer. Someone somewhere has gotta think I’ll be an asset to their department.

Working my way through LARRY SANDERS recently and currently watching Disney’s HERCULES with the baby. I think Rip Torn was contractually obligated to call someone “m’boy” in every role he played.

Baseless awards prediction, pin this for later: Matt Damon and Tom Cruise will win the two Golden Globes for Best Actor, then Damon will beat Cruise for the Oscar, largely on the back of a better-loved film and a more personable campaign.

This could backfire spectacularly, but after a trilogy of dutifully respectful and extremely boring adaptations, I admire Gerwig’s swing at reshaping this property in her own image. Will it work? Time will tell!

I am a weenie afraid of horror games. With that in mind, would I okay with Resident Evil 4? I’ve never played any of them but I’ve heard that one is more action oriented rather than terrifying.

it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

Paul Schrader has always been a dysfunctional, misanthropic crank, but he has really decided to squander his late in life comeback in spectacular fashion.

LANTERNS has so far been very strong and very Lindelof (complimentary) with the exception of some of the material concerning race, which can get very Lindelof (derogatory).
