"Phony promise of the future" has stuck with me since Conan said it to me a few years ago.

❤️Thanks! He's the ultimate "that guy."

You can always tell the difference between a serious movie and a humorless movie. The latter is the problem.

Thanks! I definitely welled up a handful of times when I rewatched a few weeks ago.

Thanks Justin!

If I Fight, You Fight: The Oral History of ‘Creed’ Ten years ago, Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan cemented their partnership and pulled off a million-to-one shot, bringing the ‘Rocky’ franchise into a new era

ICYMI, CREED turns 10 this week.

"Our movie, it’s like a weird baby of Rocky, Rocky II, and Rocky V. But it’s about Apollo Creed, so obviously, III and IV have to be in there, right? It’s like this amalgamation of all the movies before it."

Too good

“The Little Movie That Couldn’t”: ‘Mallrats’ Turns 30 In the fall of 1995, Kevin Smith’s second film was a box office humiliation. Now, it’s become an embarrassment of riches. We chat with Smith about the movie and how it forever altered his career.

wrote about the kind of cinema that can only be appreciated in a friend's basement. that's right, I wrote about MALLRATS!

Got excited recently when I had an idea to try to write a book about The Onion—turns out two have been released THIS year.

Respect to Max Silvestri for sprinkling some elder millennial influence onto I Love LA. (Also: RIP Dan McGrath, who wrote "Bart of Darkness.")

Oh damn. I went post-renovation but didn't know about what it is now...

Saw so many movies there from 1993 to 1998 or so, when the big Loews cineplex opened at Liberty Tree.

This makes me wish I could've seen Mallrats in an empty theater at Showcase Cinema in Revere when I was 12.

Thanks Alex!

I only worship the sauce god.

You wouldn't believe it because of how it looks, but the sauce makes it.
