Oscar Isaac says he is open to returning to STAR WARS but is doubtful about Disney after they suspended Jimmy Kimmel.

“I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great”

Comic panel from the watchmen comic book series. A ghostly Dr Manhattan tries to reassemble himself in the military research base he was atomized in. A glowing circulatory system walks towards horrified workers in a kitchen. Caption reads "it's November 10th. There is a circulatory system walking through the kitchen..."

On this day, Dr. Manhatten first reappears after his atomized destruction in a lab accident. Happy November 10th to all who observe.

It’s Roy Scheider’s birthday.
Love this anecdote about Jeff Daniels’ unforgettable death scene in Speed & how it’s all thanks to Scheider in Jaws.

Every secondhand James Cameron story sounds like dialogue from 'ARCHER.'

"Awesome guy. We watched Anime together. Also, that time my dad was kidnapped? I called him, he sent me $1 Million and a negotiator. The Marines said he wanted to ride along for the extraction, too - that guy loves to party!"

The biggest "dudes rock" in the history of "dudes rock."

Alden Ehrenreich has made a fine career for himself (dude was TERRIFIC in WEAPONS this year) but he really is lightning in a bottle here. Watching his "Would that it were so simple" off with Fiennes, you really do get the sense that you're watching The Guy at the start of a legendary run.

Watching HAIL CAESAR, a movie I've always really enjoyed. Brolin trying to wrangle three priests and a rabbi is one of the pantheon Coen Bros. scenes. "God doesn't have children! He's a bachelor! And He's very angry!"

"expanding consciousness" meme: 1. Frankenstein created a monster 2. Frankenstein was the real monster 3. Frankenstein and his creation are *both* tragically flawed 4. Captain Walton made the whole thing up because he couldn't admit to his sister that he failed to find the Northwest Passage

Periodically, this @pftompkins.bsky.social bit about the quality clientele he would encounter during his time working at a novelty hat shop will bubble up in my brain and then, having delighted me once again, will recede into the depths to await its next surprise visit...

Usopp and Nami are the most reasonable people on the crew idgaf if that makes them cowards because you are an objectively smart person for NOT jumping into the gorilla pit to fight a horde of gorillas do you see what I'm saying

I’m cruel and evil and write about Satan and all that stuff, but the “fuck people on SNAP/let’s make sure the billionaires are okay” crowd is subhuman garbage.

I am grateful to have a wide variety of family members who do not care AT ALL about this nerd shit. Definitely helps keep me aware of how insular The Discourse really is.

Conversation at the salon today:

Her: "Do anything fun for Halloween?"

Me: "I had a buddy over and watched some scary movies."

Her: "Oh, what's your favorite scary movie?"

Me: "ALIEN."

Her: "What's that about?"

Me: "...an alien."

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

‘House Of Usher’ (aka ‘The Fall Of The House Of Usher’ • ‘Curse’) starring Vincent Price, Mark Damon, and Myrna Fahey debuted in the United Kingdom in Derby this week in 1960 🏚️ 💀 🔥 #OTD

Saw Trachtenberg confirm that PREDATOR: BADLANDS takes place after ALIEN: RESURRECTION (2381), which occurs 260 years after ALIEN (2122), meaning BADLANDS is the farthest along in both the ALIEN and PREDATOR franchises. Very interesting, and leaves the door wide open for them to explore stuff.

tfw both your highly anticipated big budget monster movies open on the same weekend and both are BANGERS.

I haven’t seen Besson’s DRACULA, but it’s so wild how “Mina is the reincarnation of Dracula’s bride” has become part of the accepted lore. None of this is from the book; he’s directly pulling from Coppola’s 1992 film, which was cribbing from DARK SHADOWS (and maybe THE MUMMY), as was FRIGHT NIGHT 🤣

This kid rules

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

that's one of the great artists of our time right there
