MJ's @thrillhouse24.bsky.social says "Alpha Gang spends the entire time focusing on a group of aliens who couldn’t be further from human, yet this movie manages to speak volumes about what it means to be human, more than any other film I’ve seen in a while." #AlphaGang Premiered at TIFF.

Looking at the spreadsheet I use to track my movie collection, I have about 1,000 titles. A good amount are Blu-ray, but an overwhelming majority are DVD. I’m not an A/V snob so I don’t desire upgrading all of those movies to Blu/4K. Less than 10 are UHD. Does this officially make me a relic?

MJ's @thrillhouse24.bsky.social says SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY revitalizes a genre. "It’s funny, it has heart, it made me cry, and it got me excited for the future of the MCU without it simply feeling like a cheap setup for whatever comes next." #Spider-Man #BrandNewDay is in theaters now.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY gives the fans what they want and hopefully revitalizes a genre — Moviejawn

by Mike Patrick, Staff Writer Brand New Day is not perfect. But it has the best web-slinging scenes ever filmed and arguably is the first true Peter Parker story the MCU has given us.

Honestly, fair. They made that announcement years ago and there’s been zero development, and it’s clear that the MCU is circling the conclusion of its current continuity and will soft reboot with mutants next. It would have been cool to explore, but I think he’s smart to walk away at this point.

Filmmaker Chuck Russell has passed away at 74. Chuck Russell directed The Blob & Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors in the 1980s, and later directed The Mask, Eraser, Bless the Child, The Scorpion King, and Witchboard (2025). A horror legacy that will never be forgotten.

Around 1am this morning, I lost my best non-human friend in the whole world. I’ve been bracing for this for a year, but there’s nothing that can ever really prepare you for this. He’s been my right-hand for 16 years, and he was infectiously happy every single day, right up to the end.

For five decades, this person has had his hand in *everything*. Stop and think about all the great stuff you know he was a featured star in, directed in, or appeared in. You probably know a lot. Now go on his IMDb and learn how many you forgot about/didn’t know about. This loss is immeasurable.

I don’t like to act boastful. But one thing I will pat myself on the back for for is the speed at which I can think of a relevant Simpsons quote that applies to any conversation I’m having, to quickly grab a corresponding meme from the internet, and send it. All within a minute.
