Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is low key one of the best midlife crisis movies of the 2020s.

6th trip on @frontierairlines.bsky.social and certainly my last. Every trip a new, different fresh hell of problems. Currently with 50+ folks stuck over an hour in a boarding tunnel because maintenance forgot to service the bathrooms. Allegiant/Spirit are luxury lines by comparison. Never again.

My kid is learning Eye of the Tiger in drum lessons, so he asked to watch Rocky IV. I said he had to watch the original first (duh). I warned him and his brother that it's older and they might think it's boring. Watching it now. They're locked in. Nbd just crying that my kids just love good stories.

I absolutely ADORED JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH. It looks and sounds as good as anyone in the franchise since the first. It's the scariest film since the original, and also best score since 1. I also just think the lack of trying to train raptors with a palm in the air also helps a ton. My rankings:

Rewatching the Jurassic movies with my kids (who are LOVING them, even the reaaaallly bad ones), and I gotta say, maybe my hottest film take is that Fallen Kingdom is the 2nd best Jurassic movie of all time behind the original. And I don't think it's close.

I remember the exact day! I was at Paterno's 409th and finally win. It was against Illinois in 2011.

A MINECRAFT MOVIE is Jared Hess's best work as a director.

This is only technically a compliment.

Watching the Raimi Spider Man movies with my kids. If you thought Spider-Man 3 was bad in 2007, imagine how awful it is now. Because it's worse than that.

I think there's a direct correlation between my waning enjoyment of Severance with the exact moment they started using "inny" and "outy" on the regular.

Listen it's certainly not award worthy, but the fact that THE GORGE didn't get a theatrical release when I had to sit through drivel like ARGYLLE last year is preposterous. This movie would've popped on the big screen.

Sure, our forts have been renamed after racist losers, rights are being stripped as we speak, fascism is in full swing, and anyone that's not a cis white American‐born male is in actual danger... but at least inflation is back up and eggs are thirty bucks a dozen.

Hi I'm Dan and my toxic trait is that I'm always optimistic about the next Jurassic Park movie even though they've been consistently disappointing since the mid-90s.

Super cool that it's mid-January and my wonderful city of Greenville SC still has zero access to either Nickel Boys or The Brutalist. Ffs we can't give up a screen of Kraven?

I'm smoking a prime rib outside, drinking a mimosa and eating a box of hot tamales. Y'all are all playing for second place this New Year's.

Why didn't anyone tell me how good The Penguin on Max is? Like, not a single rave. I blame each and every one of you here on this platform I wasn't apart of during the original airing of The Penguin on Max. It's all your fault.

My top 5 #hallmarkchristmasmovies of 2024 with only 2 left!

1. Holiday Touchdown
2. Finnish Line
3. Sugarplummed
4. Xmas with the Singhs
5. Santa Tell Me

Weird year. My top 10 keeps changing as I keep thinking about it. Not a standout home run in the bunch... but 15 or so solid choices this year.

Haven't seen Lioness... but this didn't sell me, that's for sure.

Good grief Yellowstone has become almost unwatchable. The penultimate episode of the series features the writer/creator going meta about himself and how awesome he is.

Taylor Sheridan is the Donald Trump of Aaron Sorkins.
