Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are off their asses in Bugonia. It’s fun watching two of our best actors get to square off like this.

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½ review of Wake Up Dead Man (2025) Glass Onion is fine and all, but this is the Knives Out sequel we've deserved all along. Rian Johnson's third Benoit Blanc mystery is a twisy good time, anchored by a pair of relentlessly crowd-pleasi...

I will not rest until Daniel Craig has played Benoit Blanc more times than he's played James Bond.

Wake Up Dead Man is fantastic, and I am now firmly onboard the β€œJosh O’Connor needs to be in everything” train. Glass Onion was fine, but this is the Knives Out sequel you’ve been waiting for.

From Bond Girl to Diamond Queen, Rosamund Pike Still Wants To Provoke You Rosamund Pike discusses her journey from Bond girl to versatile leading lady, her return to the stage, and saying goodbye to The Wheel of Time.

I profiled the phenomenal Rosamund Pike about playing the #NowYouSeeMe franchise's newest villain, why she's still grieving the end of #TheWheelOfTime, and the roles she's gravitating towards next β€” although she'll always be interested in more provocative characters:

A β˜…β˜…Β½ review of The Running Man (2025) Ruminations on class divides and the de-evolution of the entertainment we consume felt prescient back in the '80s when Stephen King's original book and Arnold Schwarzenneger's film adaptation first dr...

Wasn't able to get fully onboard with Edgar Wright's The Running Man, a movie that feels edited into oblivion.

I’m wondering if they have Olyphant signed to a multi-season deal or can convince him to to re-up. Because it seems like his character could be back … or not.

Was able to resume watching, but then it crashed again 10 minutes later. Apple folks are probably both panicked AND delighted right now.

Forty minutes into the first episode of Pluribus and AppleTV just shit the bed.

If the show’s huge, maybe they’ll β€œLaura Palmer’s diary” them and make them real! (Hell, pitch yourself as the ghostwriter. 😁)

'Pluribus' Review: 23 Years Later, 'Breaking Bad's Creator Returns to Sci-Fi With an Absolute Masterpiece on Apple TV 23 years after his time on The X-Files, Vince Gilligan returns to sci-fi for Pluribus, a stunning new Apple TV series starring Rhea Seehorn.

Folks, Vince Gilligan’s done it again with #Pluribus. An absolute sci-fi masterpiece featuring a tremendous lead performance from Rhea Seehorn. It may sound counterintuitive in a review, but go into this one knowing as little as possible:

Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 | VGC The publisher is researching β€œGame QA Automation Technology” with the University of Tokyo…

Can we not start this bullshit until after Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 comes out?

What an incredible speech from Mamdani. It’s nice to feel inspired instead of hopeless.

Hello welcome to bluesky. We have every kind of anti-government radical left of center, and also, baseball

Not my desired outcome, but a great baseball game nonetheless.

Suddenly, buying tickets to an early Sunday morning screening of Back to the Future seems like it might not have been the best idea.

Two outs from winning. Two inches from winning. And now watching Pages make that catch. How are any Blue Jays fans still alive?

Might be time for Mazeroski to get some company.

I really hope that Scream 7 trailer is a result of them wanting to preserve the surprises, because, otherwise, that was pretty uninspiring.

Almost everyone I know says it the second way, and I cringe every single time.

Thanks, guys. I normally don’t care much about release-date jockeying, but this one interests me! I still think they’re too close to each other.

Okay, apparently Google has lied to me, and The Running Man actually opens Nov. 14, a week after Predator. That spaces them out a little bit, at least.

I wish Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere was more of a process movie. Its most interesting parts are when it’s showing how Bruce wrote and recorded Nebraska, how hard it was to transfer it to a master, etc. But those things keep getting pushed to the side for traditional biopic stuff.

Just watched Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday for the second and last time in my life. BY FAR the worst movie to spring from any of the major slasher series.
