You could pick any one of the moments featured in these photo collages, and I’d have the best story to tell. All of them combined leads to a delirious run through a career I still can’t believe existed.

Without exaggeration, CinemaBlend allowed me to live my dream. I covered every aspect of the film industry. Movie screenings, press junkets, high profile conventions, set visits… I said yes to everything I could, and they sent me places I never thought possible.

With that thunderous alley-oop dunk, Otega Oweh hits 10 points for the night.

He's now scored in double figures in all 24 games for UK this season, and in 25 straight games dating back to his time at Oklahoma.

Half the job of breaking into writing is figuring out how to break into writing. Just writing isn't enough. There is no one way in. There are hundreds. And figuring out which way will work best for you and your work is the trick of it. Every one of us has a very different story about how we did it.

I was today years old when I realized Ralph Macchio’s underappreciated 1986 movie Crossroads was directed by the legend, Walter Hill. That explains so much.

Anyway, the SINNERS trailer drops soon. And I hope Crossroads is streaming, somewhere.

in other news, given the flood pouring down upon us, I stuck with my hopeful intention of not checking the news or bluesky until after work, which means I wrote about 2000 words today, an entire chapter, on my current WIP. I consider this part of the resistance.

I understand that ChatGPT is down and fortunately this is not a problem for me as I have spent considerable time developing a local language model that I am able to run autonomously, fueled by cynicism, sarcasm, and an obscene amount of pop-culture minutiae.

It was my number one movie of 2024. Intelligent, ruthless, insightful, candid, gross, bold, unapologetic, and hilarious. Everyone needs to see THE SUBSTANCE #filmsky
