In mourning. Don’t text.

Rendy Jones @rendy.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

MINIONS & MONSTERS had me reflecting on my relationship with these little Corn Pops. Got pretty personal about my love for film, aging, grief, and how Illumination’s most sophisticated film yet got me excited to pick up the pen again. More in my review: rendyreviews.com/movie-review...

Hella honored to have served on the GOTHAM TV (Comedy) NOM committee this year with these fine group of fellow professionals celebrating the best of the yuk-yuk-yuk the past year. Pretty proud of our nominees!! Now to hibernate and find a new blazer (and dress pants) for the ceremony.

Girl just give Oscar already. And Grammy. It’s Joever. Hell Macy’s Parade is not even a competition and yet EJAE, Rei, and Audrey won. This performance ate so hard, I fear everyone who performs after. Wow.

Wait they just announced Skyler Gisondo and Marcello Hernandez as Shrek & Fiona’s sons Fergus & Farkle alongside Zendaya’s Felicia for Shrek 5. Like that wasn’t even announced anywhere. Did I just get new movie news via Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade?!

There’s a nor’easter in NYC and my ceiling, which the super (that robbed me) was supposed to fix ages ago, is leaking. I want to hit up the landlords but still have to finish paying rent so they can handle it. Please help if you can. I’m so tired. www.gofundme.com/f/help-cover...

Traveling to TIFF tonight. I’m remembering all of these work trips are out of pocket as I juggle this and NYC rent on my own and freelancing. Feel free to send #mutualaid for food and transportation. I’d gladly appreciate it. Venmo: RendyJones paypal.me/rendyjones zelle: rjones1325@gmail.com

For my debut at MovieMaker Magazine I talked with the one and only Genndy Tartakovsky about his journey on bringing his doggone wild R-rated movie #FIXED to screens and his hopes for the future of adult animation features. Read our chat here: www.moviemaker.com/fixed-direct...

The end credits of BAD GUYS 2 said “screw AI. Try stealing our work! It’ll be a crime for your artless ass.” All I must say to this is SAY THAT SHIT WITH YOUR WHOLE CHEST DREAMWORKS ANIMATION! SPEAK ON IT!

Happy #Juneteenth to all the writers fighting to have our voices heard. I've been doing this for 13 years and I still find myself as the gen-z Black person these rooms. If you’re non-Black, please send some support today. It’s a slow, hard time for entertainment journalism. Venmo/Paypal: rendyjones

Lilo & Stitch: a cheapened, louder, watered down, blatant “made for Disney+” iteration that only works thanks to Dean Fleischer Camp’s touch. Like Marcel, he tugs the right heartstrings through this Ohana. Chris Sanders’ voice still hits the feels. But, Maia Kealoha is a star!

Reorganized my blu-ray collection. Also learned I got 421 blu-rays so, there's that. This is what (mostly) happens when you give a cinephile a stimulus check during the pandemic.

Drew Hancock’s COMPANION rules. avoid that second trailer. Go in blind. It’s an onion layer of horrific violent fun with a sci-fi, anti-romantic, darkly comedic twist with a killer Sophie Thatcher lead performance at the helm.

Would you look at that, for the first time ever, I was denied press access for Sundance. Maybe on me for applying so late but like...huh? This hasn't happened before. And for a Sundance I was considering to attend in person for the first time in 5 years. There goes that dream.

Watched KLAUS cause I needed to be in the Christmas spirit and I’m bawling by the sincerity and sheer breathtaking artistry in its storytelling and 2D animation. It’s such a timeless gem that deserves more flowers. Sergio Pablos where are you? We miss you!
