Rocky Romero getting eliminated first continues my head canon that the Don Callis Family was only recruiting Trent and Trent alone and Rocky just keeps showing up anyway. #AEWRevolution #AEW

I just watched Wayne Brady help the Costco "Boom" guy win a pro wrestling match. What an incredibly odd, yet factually correct sentence to write. #AEW #AEWRevolution

I absolutely love the audacity of the scene where they just click and drag the gator to the roof. What a fun bit of nonsense.

Because I'd love to know how an author is going to handle the emotional whiplash of the father from Primate assuming his family is in danger, relaxing at the idea they're just throwing a party, and then minutes later resolving himself to having to fist fight a chimpanzee to save them.

@brianwcollins.bsky.social Random question. As a guy who reviews movie novelizations, do you ever find yourself wondering how the eventual book will handle moments you're watching on screen?

Dead Mail is so much better than the horror movie equivalent of the 'Signed Sealed Delivered' Hallmark series that I thought it would be. Sometimes it's very nice to be surprised by a film going in a much different direction.

I liked it. Really fit the "YA Final Destination" description I heard about it.

A photo of the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack CD for FIREWALL with a $4 price sticker that I did not pay full price for. Also, I had flash on, so it's a bit washed out and there is a mildly viewable can of Kombucha behind it, also purchased on clearance.

In the clearance section of a Family Dollar.

...

At least that's where I found mine.

The scene where the guy says, "Don't worry, I used to run track," or something along those lines and immediately gets murked by fire debris and the camera shows the woman in the bedroom screaming in absolute realization she is about to burn to death has stuck with me for literal decades now.

1. Indiana based slasher with a sewer dwelling Vietnam Vet "Rat-Jaw" claiming victims. Odd, but interesting.
2. They added it, so I put a review in from last week.
3. Really good "Parker" adaptation.
4. Incredibly enjoyable satire with many hilarious characters.

Episode 54: Everything Must Go A group of teens get more than they bargained for when hired to break into a shopping mall that's swallowing a small town's economy. Written and Directed by Ted GeogheganCast: Chloë Levine, Clay ...

My episode of Tales from Beyond the Pale is live, and I'd love for you to set aside 29 minutes today and give it a listen. I worked with an amazing cast and crew to tell a 1980s anti-capitalist horror story that's tons of fun from top to bottom. talesfrombeyondthepale.castos.com/episodes/epi...

I'm shocked I haven't heard of "Tales from Beyond the Pale" until now. I love alternating between audio anthologies. I normally start from the beginning (which I know makes no sense) but I'll make a Mohawk exception. You do great work and I'm excited to hear the newest edition to your efforts.

Took a nap.

I really liked the Asylum's Knockbuster of this one (Battle of Los Angeles) simply because it starred Kel Mitchell.

Today is the day I decided that Shane Black was the writer who added the line "Maybe I can help. I am a Veterinarian," to the script.

"It's a bit niche, but I'm a WHISTLE Influencer...no, not that kind. No, you don't understand...no, no that. Stop guessing. It's a movie...no, not about that."

If I actively announce on here that WHISTLE will be my Friday the 13th movie viewing, then that means I'll actually do it, right? I think I have some bonus credit built up and can justify a $10 rental despite the fact I'm the guy who waited and subscribed to Starz because it was $12 for a year.

The Herpes Complex sounds like the rejected title of the never finished crossover novel between Robert Ludlum and Michael Crichton.

Do you think Robert Downey Jr ever thought about this movie while he was making DOLITTLE?

Dear goodness, I sincerely hope this is the one where he hunts the Chupacabra or Bigfoot, or whatever that monster script from over a decade ago was about.

Kind of worth it just to hear Arnold's accent constantly saying the name "Christopher McQuarrie" in interviews.
