There were at least 3 separate times in the 90s when it looked like the United States was about to tear itself apart from the inside. FAR from an oasis.

As far as I'm concerned, film promotion peaked with lavishly illustrated collectible cups at McDonald's

The truth 🐊

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

It was such a fun transformation. Like the stuff of your early youth was very colorful or tied into some generally acceptable presentation of IP, and then you graduate into this hyper-detailed mad-libs of "awesome" components.

The height of aesthetics!

That's great to hear. Really looking forward to watching it!

It's one of my all-time favorite Penguin illustrations, to be honest.

I interviewed the artist for my upcoming book. Our chat about making the Penguin "less obviously grotesque" was fun.

Look, a well-crafted movie trailer is great. An effective poster? Hard to beat. Ordering a Coke and a questionable hamburger and getting this? I rest my case.

This is all the work of the wonderfully talented Mark Stutzman. www.instagram.com/mark.stutzma...

The country would be in flames, but it would have at least 1 or 2 new Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies

One interesting trend on YouTube recently is Jurassic Park "analog horror," and while the genre is nothing new (There's so much of it on the site!) and the results wildly vary in quality, it's neat to see people interpret the series this way. At its best, it's both nostalgic and refreshing.

The most commonly shared Batman: The Animated Series art are the backgrounds, but I'd like to offer something similarly terrific: Its amazing array of goons.

Oh yeah, it never passes up a fan service wobble. Luckily, the rest of the show is pretty great.

'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' at 35: An Oral History of One of the Most Beloved Road Movies Ever Made Starring Steve Martin and John Candy, the John Hughes road trip comedy had a nearly four-hour runtime at one point. Hear from cast, crew, and Hughes' family about the classic.

How the ‘Fast & Furious’ Team Vowed to See Paul Walker Again In an excerpt from his new book, ‘Welcome to the Family,’ Barry Hertz explores the immediate aftermath of Paul Walker’s death amid production on ‘Furious 7’

Pub day is here for WELCOME TO THE FAMILY: THE EXPLOSIVE STORY BEHIND FAST & FURIOUS and I’m honoured to have @theringer.com.web.brid.gy run an exclusive excerpt about the final days of Paul Walker — and how the FURIOUS 7 fam came together for their fallen brother www.theringer.com/2025/11/25/m...

More folks should check out Trentin's Shonen Jump deep dives. They're good watches if you have any interest in manga history

Glad to see so many people bring up Rondo Hatton. Go watch House of Horrors and The Pearl of Death!

Aww, I had him in the image with Ratso, but I cropped him out. He's an A+ goon.

I've seen a few of those. The best ones tend to be from the viewpoint of someone on the ground trying to escape. It can be effective!

Anyway, it's worth checking out if you're into this kind of thing. Only a few are great - many feel like they'd be better off as first person video games rather than short films, and some are just shoddy creepypasta things. But it's fun to see so many people want to take the reins in this way.

A lot of it feels like the reclamation of the series - of looking at the World films and saying "No, Jurassic Park is actually best when it's about THIS." And considering how many cries I see of people wanting a more horror-focused blockbuster film again, these videos certainly fulfill a want.

And instead of opting for fan fiction extrapolation, these films dive into stripped down minutia. They're all about the tiny mishaps of the park and the violent mistakes that would occur. Things hinted at in the film and stuff that Crichton devoted a few paragraphs to in the novel.

I think, for certain generations, Jurassic Park is one of THE "analog" films, even with its ground-breaking CGI. You associate it with the chunky VHS tape on the shelf, the memories of your youth, and the singular portrayal of the dinosaurs as something "real."

Love those boys

Are you rewatching the whole show? What do you think about it?
