He should do like 60% of his days and then quit just to fuck with them. Who's going to hold it against him?

Indie filmmakers: Ad rates are up on FAST channels. Now, more than ever, is the time to show your films (and your friends' films) to your cat while you go to the store. Let Susan Collins waste her money trying to buy your cat's vote.

Signed the kid up for after school theater 2 months ago. Today: Oh by the way we need a bus note and we need it right fucking now.

We have a coyote in our neighborhood. Should I paint a tunnel on a rock or write ACME on a box and hope he opens it (and blows himself up)?

At least the WGA got some pennies for their health fund

I have a friend who's a III and I'm like, are you allowed to stop it? Apparently not

This movie just had a fake Scriptnotes recording play in a car?

If the people behind Susan Collins' ads ever step foot in the state of Maine... Who am I kidding? They'll never come to Maine.

I'm no box office expert, but this SUPERGIRL movie is not good. It's also not fun.

Lucas McNelly @lmcnelly.com · 12/09/2026

Well it’s a Maine thing

Watching a movie where every character hates Steve Zahn's character, but he's clearly the best thing in the film.

I am genuinely curious if Chaz Ebert has a say in all this. I would be mildly offended if some chud was using AI to puppeteer my late spouse's voice and make up his beliefs like he was a cartoon character.

Best New-to-Me Film (August) COYOTE VS ACME (Green) THE INVITE (Wilde) THE END OF OAK STREET (Mitchell) OPERATION AVALANCHE (Johnson) IN THE LAND OF SAINTS AND SINNERS (Lorenz) SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY (Cretton) DICK (Fleming)

Got to listen to some MAGA old dude in Walmart complain that kids these days don't respect their elders and if there was only some clue as to why.

Again, people have their own system. I almost never give 5 stars.

My 9 year old liked it. Darker than your normal Looney Tunes, but should be ok
