I'm guest-hosting on a podcast tonight. We're ranking best chase sequences — from action / adventure franchises, only. What am I missing? / How's my ranking?

Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.

Eleven years into this raging Hell and *still* no one has ever called him a liar to his face. Barely a few have done it from behind a news desk. Reckless, useless cowards. All of them.

Trump is a big dumb cunt, but Welker — like everyone in the mainstream media — is totally soft. She "pushed back," but not really. Not forcefully. This isn't holding truth to power, it's just being a bit annoying until they throw a tantrum and leave. Don't let him! Cut him off. Drop the politeness.

In the 90s, every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie had a throwaway line to explain his Austrian accent. ​Today, every Jennifer Lopez movie has a throwaway line to explain why she’s single in her 50s.

Bluesky is still so small, I feel like I can be more open over here... So... some good news! I asked my boss for 22% raise yesterday — and he basically approved it on the spot — no pushback at all. Will get it in writing soon 😁 Was the first time in my life I had ever asked for a raise, too. 😆

Guys. It's okay to be wrong. Tripling down on something so stupid and objectively false is childish. I'm not trying to be a pedantic asshole - but like, WORDS HAVE MEANING. You can't just make shit up.

At the end of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Wonka bequeaths his entire candy empire to a small German boy because he "can't go on forever." Gene Wilder is only 38 in this movie. Dude got one look at middle-age and was like, "fuck it, I'm out." 😂

There's a thread on r/Flicks asking, "What’s the greatest movie you’ve ever seen that no one else seems to know about?" Someone suggested "Network." Another, "Amadeus." God help the children.

Made this using Google Flow's new Veo3 engine for work, and it scares the Hell out of me. 😯 I understand—and agree with—everyone's reservations on using AI video for creative projects + artistic ideas. But for corporate video, b-roll, and webinars? Shit man... this is nuts.

I haven't seen the first four #MissionImpossible movies in 10 years. Rogue Nation + Fallout, five years. Should I rewatch them all before Final Reckoning — if that means waiting another week or more to see that? Or just rewatch Dead Reckoning and go to the theater tomorrow?

I've got 4,000+ words written for a big #FinalDestination episode of "Movie Night" - including an incredible idea for the cold open. You can probably guess what I want to "re-create." Will probably take me a few days to film/edit everything though - so look for it this weekend. It's gonna be good.

Now that my oldest has seen the original trilogy... we're diving into the ancillary #StarWars media, and holy shit - there's so much! It's genuinely possible that no one person has seen it all. There's like 17 different shows. I can't even find a full list that isn't missing stuff.

"IMDb Top 20 movies of all time." Most of these are genuinely excellent films! ... but as you get older and watch more, you realize how extremely "young American male" this list is coded. Like, the entire identity of IMDb feels like the personal taste of 23-year-old white guy from New Jersey.

Loving #TheStudio so far! I was laughing out loud throughout the first episode. A perfect, satirical love letter to all fans (and critics) of Hollywood. Feels a bit like "Entourage" meets "The Disaster Artist," with a twist of "Curb." The long takes are a really nice touch, too.

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

Today, Sen Jon Ossoff is demanding real answers on a major national security failure—and Republicans are already in denial. When Ossoff asked Trump’s intel chief Ratcliffe if it was a “huge mistake,” Ratcliffe flatly said, “No.” This is the GOP: no accountability, no shame. @ossoff.bsky.social
