Peter Dinklage, LIVING IN OBLIVION

W O W

Hard to believe sometimes that I was in the room for this moment.

I’m just informing everyone I know right now: If you use AI to write an obituary for me, I will haunt the eternal fuck out of you.

If you’re friends with the writer Shawn Levy on Facebook, you’ll find his recurring series “Sorry I am not the filmmaker Shawn Levy and I do not know how to contact him.”

“World of Color: Happiness”: Aw, you’re still trying to make WISH happen. How adorable.

Guests reacting to seeing it like they’re in a horror movie: “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?!”

I could watch the mid-river geyser at Grizzly River Run for hours. The ride wasn’t the same without it.

It will never happen, but my God, wouldn’t it be lovely if someone who shot a movie with this much care actually got recognized?

I know, right?!!

🎶I could ruin a perfect movie
Using a sphere that's groovy
And you will wonder why.
I will change all the framing
Mankiewicz will get a shaming
If I only had AI. 🎶

Quick impressions of new-to-me DL things:
Walt Disney animatronic: From middle row, looked a lot less like Mike Lindell than in close-up photos. Solid show, but lobby display is the real stuff.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure: Love the animatronics, but yeah, the story is weird.
Mansion’s new bride: Nice.

Putting yesterday’s ordeal behind me, time for some happy place.

Only took a total of 13 hours to get to Vegas.

Yup

Heading from Utah to Disneyland, and I-15 in Arizona is literally shut down due to a major accident. Been sitting in place for 80 minutes. Magic!

And I respect anyone who makes that choice at this point. We live in complicated times when it comes to living our values.

Film Reviews: New Releases for July 30 - Aug. 1 The Naked Gun, The Bad Guys 2, Together, Folktales, She Rides Shotgun

New @cityweekly.bsky.social reviews of this week’s theatrical releases: THE NAKED GUN, THE BAD GUYS 2, TOGETHER, FOLKTALES, SHE RIDES SHOTGUN. www.cityweekly.net/BuzzBlog/arc...

I know there are a lot of folks on this bandwagon right now, but I don’t care: Please see THE NAKED GUN theatrically. Enjoy the experience of laughing together with other people. Comedy belongs in theaters just as much as—if not more than—tentpole blockbusters.

It’s pretty great.

I had heard a lot about TOGETHER, but nobody prepared me for the fact that its lore is basically HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH’s “The Origin of Love.”

TOGETHER (2025): Mark 10:8

Age verification? I worked at a movie theater where “E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL” had been on the box-office’s mini letterboard marquee for so long that the sun faded the letters permanently into the felt.

TRON: ERRORS (2025)

“Please meet our new university president, Lando Calrissian.”

Huh, it weirdly seems that the surge in online sports betting has coincided with several sports stories connecting athletes with irregular betting behavior. Who could have seen this coming.

It’s time for a new episode of Mousterpiece Melodies! This time, @alanzilberman.bsky.social joins @scottrenshaw.bsky.social and I to discuss the songs of Disney’s cult-favorite 1973 animated film Robin Hood: mousterpiecemelodies.podbean.com/e/mousterpie...

Going Bluesky mini-viral is still a novelty, so welcome, new followers. You’re all likely fans of Lehrer, or Sondheim, or both, and hence people of discerning taste.

AI "Artists" getting upset when you say their slop sucks is funny, because you can be like "why do you even care, it's not like you actually made it" and get them more wet and red.
