Richard Fink @richardfink.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Saw this the day it came out. Was not a Star Trek fan going in, saw it because it was a summer movie. Absolutely loved it and I think I saw it 4 more times that summer. The DVD came out right before Thanksgiving, and since then has become the default movie me and my parents watch on that holiday. 010

Richard Fink @richardfink.bsky.social · 23/01/2026#WonderMan is excellent. One of the best MCU series by a wide margin. It’s funny, has excellent characters, and works because it is basically a comedy that happens to exist in a superhero world. I hope Marvel makes more Wonder Man and more shows like it.media.tenor.coma man wearing sunglasses and a red jacket is standing in front of a sign that says bfALT: a man wearing sunglasses and a red jacket is standing in front of a sign that says bf 010

Richard Fink @richardfink.bsky.social · 13/01/2026It's obviously okay to criticize a movie; nobody should be forced to like a movie. Yet I will say some of the critiques I'm seeing are just kind of lazy, or use buzzwords to sound profound without providing any actual depth or conversation. 000

Richard Fink @richardfink.bsky.social · 18/12/2025It is surreal to think The Force Awakens came out ten years ago. It is strange to think how much has changed around Star Wars since it came out.
