My end of year favorite movies video is officially cooking! Can’t wait to film in front of a camera & edit away again.

Robert Egger's Nosferatu has given me the motivation to rewatch his debut film, The Witch, sooner than later. Haven't seen since theaters which feels like a lifetime ago.

Can't wait to get to AMC Lincoln Square early tomorrow morning with coffee in hand ready for 3.5 hours of THE BRUTALIST. A little pre-holiday treat just for me.

Fun problems this week, have conflicting screenings of Nightbitch with an Amy Adams Q&A vs the new Lord of the Rings animated feature. Not sure which to pick, hmmmm...

I'm not gonna pretend like I won't enjoy Drake's discography anymore but dude has really lost my respect the way he's been moving in the music space lately. He just can't take the L, lick his wounds, and move on...grown ass man still acting like an insecure teen. Makes me sad lol

Gladiator II was alright. LOVED Denzel, he running circles around the rest of the cast performance wise but also don't think the script does actors like Pedro or Paul Mescal any favors. Peeps will be entertained still.

I got an insane movie casting agency related email but will not elaborate until its confirmed or falls through because I'm superstitious. But sheeeeeeeeeeeet.

WICKED is out tomorrow so here’s my brother & Ariana Grande while I’m right out of frame wondering why I never photo bombed this moment. Still one of the weirdest surreal days of my life (one day I’ll tell the story I’m sure).

UPDATE: I found upcoming screenings, however, they are full 😫 the journey continues forth...

Kieran Culkin’s character arc hit harder on the rewatch for A REAL PAIN. Those bookended airport moments with him really leave an impact and it’s all due to a stellar emotional performance 100%.

Honestly, lots of solid choices of MOVIE out in cinemas right now leading into Gladiator II/Wicked weekend and the upcoming Thanksgiving break. Love to see it.

The 1st half of HERETIC is one of my favorite movies of 2024. Shame that the 2nd half doesn’t measure up (still pretty good though).

Having Barkley & Mixon together on my fantasy team in 2024 might be my crowning achievement in over 14 years of playing. Blessed.

anyone got dem' NOSFERATU early screener tickets?

Just saying, nothing has come close to topping DUNE Part II for me this year and the only thing I can imagine coming close is NOSFERATU but open to being surprised!

A new social media app? Sure why not!
