Based solely on the movie adaptations I've seen, I am convinced that you have to be a fool to buy a plot in a Colleen Hoover novel, and that she's more into car accidents than the characters in Cronenberg's CRASH. The last adaptation is on my 2026 ten worst list. Will VERITY join it? Stay tuned.

The "it's bad on purpose" folks are coming out of the woodwork already. I removed their quote of my DIGGER post and blocked this person.

My Globe review of DIGGER is up. I suppose I should have expected that the director of the worst best picture Oscar winner, and the man with an ego so big that you can see it from space, would make a movie so insufferably bad that I needed a stiff drink after it. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/29/a...

‘Digger’ is the worst movie of Tom Cruise’s career - The Boston Globe

As Denzel said in ‘Malcolm X,’ you’ve been ‘hoodwinked and bamboozled’ by this film’s mendacious marketing.

I have to ask my fellow Stevie-loving Henderson, @ephender.bsky.social, which of the "new" SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE songs is his favorite!

It's Wilford Brimley's birthday! I pay tribute to my favorite role of his, the Cajun Uncle Douvee in HARD TARGET. If you checked your dia-bee-tus every day and you ate your Quaker Oats, you too could make moonshine and outrun fireballs while shooting arrows at bad guys! IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO!

That Learn With AI Maya Angelou simulation makes me so pissed off that I hope everyone involved--and everyone who is pro-AI--falls ass first down a manhole. You can go find it for yourself if you wanna see it. I hope her estate sues the fuck out of them.

At the GODZILLA MINUS ZERO press screening, we each received a list of plot points/twists that we were NOT supposed to discuss in our reviews. Indiewire put the first "do not discuss" plot point in its headline. I suppose there's a different set of rules for us commoners than for IndieWire, hm?

Godzilla Minus Zero is rated R because the main character says "I have had it with these motherfuckin' kaiju on this motherfuckin' plane!"

I spent 35 years in tech. Most of the guys I worked with or had to deal with were racists, homophobes (yes, even in San Francisco), misogynistic or just outright privilged assholes. If you think I feel sorry for the dudes in this article, you need your head examined. They deserve to be shunned.

My cousins and I mocked the hell out of this. We'd do the Courtney Cox dance and say "this is the Whitest shit I ever saw." They are literally doing the Eddie Murphy "White people at the club" dance 3 years before Ed-DEE Raw! And this from me, a Bruce (and Brian DePalma) fan. youtu.be/129kuDCQtHs

I would NOT bet on how this one's gonna turn out. I didn't think twice: Part of Your World got my vote. And it's not that Friend Like Me is a bad song--it's not, and Williams' performance of it is excellent--but this one was easy for me. No matter, we're getting a Howard Ashman song.

The new footage in THE DEVILS is fucking ridiculous. And the movie is still as bad as I remembered. Maybe I've seen too many nasty nun movies to give a shit about this hysterical bore. Great that it's finally restored. Amen to that. But that doesn't mean it's good.
