Way psyched to see tool in less than 48 hours at riot fest, but will @oneonetwothree.bsky.social be there for the divine masculine festivities? I hope so!🙏

Buying lemonade for fifty cents from two little girls gave me overwhelmingly wholesome feels about the future of the human race.

Had a blast watching the Odyssey in 70mm at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social Nothing like seeing movies with a full house where everyone is excited to be there. My only qualm was would have liked to see new faces for some of the smaller roles but I imagine proven actors were one less worry for Nolan.

There are many moments in The Furious where bodies intertwine like living sculptures in a museum of violence. It’s astonishing. Really glad I got to see this in the theater.

Breaking my social media blackout to point out that John Woo’s Hard Target is likely the only movie in the history of cinema where a cop puts a lit birthday cake into a desk drawer and then forgets about it.

Lifting dialogue and character names from Aliens for the military characters in your comic is the opposite of cool.

Obsessed with the scene in Blue Thunder when an F-18 mistakenly fires a heat seeking missile into a BBQ restaurant and they do two explosion aftermath shots of what looks like a hundred rotisserie chickens falling into frame. 🍗

Extremely late note to say we had an amazing time premiering Hot Water at the @overlookfilmfest.bsky.social : loud sound, packed screenings, laughter, applause, getting to do a shout out to Big Trouble on the press line. Eternally grateful to the festival for having us. Thank you New Orleans🙏

Grammaton Punch!! Available now in print! A @comixology.bsky.social Original by @milesgunter.bsky.social and @andanbriane.bsky.social, Grammaton Punch "should appeal to fans of Japanese manga or anyone who enjoys the idea of teenagers punching ghosts." (Per @ign.com)
Cover of Grammaton Punch, the print edition of a Comixology original by Miles Gunter and Briane Andan, colored by Lee Loughridge and lettered by Taylor Esposito. The main character, Van Nguyen, is a boy with white hair wearing orange sunglasses. He's winding up a powerful punch with visible, almost fiery force behind it.First narrative page of Grammaton Punch. Main character Van Nguyen relates his origin in captions over 6 panels. Panel 1: Image of a solar eclipse from a city-scape. Van narrates "My name is Van Nguyen and I was born during a solar eclipse. That might sound cool but trust me, it's not." Panel 2: Van's mother walks with him in a park, pushing the infant Van in a stroller. Narration continues: "In fact, it's a huge pain in the ass." Panel 3: Close in on Van's mom. A shadowy, one-eyed figure looks over her shoulder while she remains oblivious. Narration continues: "Eclipse babies are born with something extra." Panel four: Close in on baby Van, eyes wide. Narration continues: "Me? I can see ghosts." Panel 5: Extreme close-up on the ghosts singular, large eye as it stares down at Van. Narration continues: "And that makes ghosts notice me." Panel 6: The ghost is bent down over the stroller, extending its index finger out to touch baby Van while he cries. Narration continues: "When I was little, this ghost lady would come around to feed off my energy."Second page of Grammaton Punch, five panels. Panel 1: Van's mom stands in her kitchen, looking worried and holding baby Van while he cries. The cyclops ghost stands behind her, unnoticed, index finger on the baby's chest. Narration continues: "I was like an all-you-can-eat lifeforce buffet." Panel 2: Van is a small child now, laying in a hospital bed while his mother watches over him looking distressed. The ghost is still there in much the same position. Narration continues: "On account of that, I was always sick and going to the hospital." Panel 3: A group of doctors examines a wall of Van's X-Rays. Narration continues: "The doctors did every test in the book. They found something in my eyes." Panel four: Close-up on Van's X-Ray, showing a side view of his eyeball area. Narration continues: "Something they'd never seen before. Something they couldn't explain." Panel 5: The doctors are now speaking to Van's mother, who looks distraught. Narration continues: "My poor mom felt helpless. And she was. There was nothing she, or science, could do."Third page of Grammaton Punch, 5 panels. Panel 1: View of Van's bedroom while he sleeps fitfully, the ghost lady standing over him. Narration continues: "For five years, the ghost lady kept me on the edge of death." Panel 2: Young Van rides a big-wheel tricycle down the sidewalk. The ghost lurks behind a tree in the background. Narration continues: "She'd back off so I could recharge, then come back for more." Panel 3: Van plays with a toy truck in the foreground while his mother stands in the doorway, hand to her mouth, looking aghast. Narration continues: "What was really messed up is that all this draining resulted in my hair turning white. Weird, I know..." Panel 4: Van plays with toy dinosaurs as the ghost drains him. He's sweating, eyes in shadow, looking annoying. Narration continues: "Somehow this ghost had the ability to touch me." Panel 5: Extreme close-up on Van. He's turning back, expression angry and eyes glowing. Narration continues: "But what I soon realized was--"

Enjoyed the practical effects in Primate but wish they had devoted more time to the chimp in the first act. We get one little scene with him and its not enough for us to invest in what's happening. Could have planted clever set ups to pay off later. A shame.

What sucks is that QT hasn’t done much work on himself despite the time that being successful has given him to potentially further develop as a human being.

Xmas came early in the form of a screening of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang at my local theatre. Hard to believe it’s been out 20 years. Black’s writing is dizzying. Feeling a fresh level of awe for the precision ridiculousness he pulls off on the page and screen.

Caught up on Decision to Leave and liked it so much I watched it again except for the very end which seriously gutted me. Park’s direction is stellar. Such lush expert scene work. Can’t wait for No Other Choice. So cool that it’s adapted from a Donald Westlake book.

Finally got around to watching the directors cut of Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven. I remember Esad praising this ages ago. Despite being over 3 hours it flies by. So well paced and beautifully crafted. Incredible design and presentation. Love Edward Norton’s performance as the gentle Leper King.
