There was some Blues Brothers band in Rockford last week, so I’m assuming this is them.

Penta Wins

He had a great match last night.

A picture of Milwaukee on August 3rd 2025. The air quality is not great.

Outside right now looks like LA in the movies when they want you to know there’s a lot of congestion and smog.

In Milwaukee this weekend and I woke up and ran along the lake while listening to the new Smoking Popes record. Highly recommended combo.

I would prefer the game was on the card of course but being able to lend and sell a game is still important to me so I like this way more than the code in a box thing that a lot of big games would’ve done to find their way on to store shelves.

I just feel like many, many Switch games required downloading patches, part of the game, updates, etc. that the dream of “the game is on the card and someday I’ll be able to play it without the internet” is not that true for many games.

Rebels is absolutely and easily some of the best Star Wars anything. I *love* it.

Kevin Owens’s “evil/live” tattoo comes to mind.

But his dinosaurs are cool.

I talked so much shit about that tat when he first got it…but now I kinda like it.

Me with a bad Cody neck tattoo I drew for his 2022 Wrestlemania appearance.

Would I have poorly self-drawn a facsimile neck tattoo in celebration of a doofus?

Centrist Democrats are now scrambling to act as if they've always been against Israel's genocide in Gaza, despite several of them recently posing for a photo with Benjamin Netanyahu.

Zeteo's Frank Cappello returns as our (fake) centrist Democrat to imagine the deflections they would use.

Halloween: The Official Making of Halloween, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends Four decades after the original Halloween took the world by storm, Miramax, Blumhouse Productions and Trancas International bring a terrifying new trilogy of films in the iconic horror franchise to ci...

There is a making of book about the trilogy. I don’t think I’ve gotten to the Ends section yet (haven’t picked it up since last Halloween, but I plan to finish it soon).

It’s good, but kinda doubt it would tackle this too much since it’s authorized and released soon after the films were made.

A ★★½ review of Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) A fair bit better than I expected. 60 or 70% of it feels close to the original, 10% of it *IS* the original, and 20% is really bad. But I assumed only 20% of it would be anywhere close to the original...

Shit…I think I need this.

We bought the OG 12” version last year but some asshole teens in the neighborhood destroyed him. Thought I was out of the Skelly game, but I might be back in…

Because of course. Why stand for something when you could just use your consultant brain to try to determine whatever position you think will poll well or whatever?

A ★★★ review of Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) I was hoping this would be a dumb but fun monster movie and it was. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it; the plot was ridiculous but the characters were likable (or unlikable) enough and the set ...

A ★★★★ review of The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Loved it. Plot and themes are in perfect sync and the chemistry between the lead cast is…fantastic.

Not really a eulogy, but one of the most impressive things I can learn about a celeb is that they treat others w/ respect.

Good friend of mine is a camera operator who worked w/ Ozzy and spent many hours w/ him in his own home. Only thing he ever reported is that Ozzy was great, down to earth, cool to everyone, etc.

I had to skip a lot too. I’ve probably seen fewer of those movies than you, but still fun!

Go vote now before it closes later tonight! @fangoria.bsky.social

A ★★★½ review of Superman (2025) A lot of stuff I really loved, including the performances and the film’s earnestness and celebration of kindness and selflessness.  But also felt a little overstuffed and the action sequences are ofte...

Incredible game, but I definitely prefer 120 stars over 900 moons so it’s not my preferred type of 3D Mario.

Still super hyped for DK though.

Unbelievable. My favorite song of all time, so that doesn’t hurt, but to hear a crowd singing this song word for word before the show starts because they’re so hyped for what they’re about to experience…major goosebumps.

We were there because it’s my now 16 year old son’s birthday and he wanted to go see the Wong Kar-Wai film In The Mood For Love.

On a related note, I’m thinking of starting a Jeff Foxworthy-esque comedy series titled “Your Kid May Be A Hipster If…”

They’re showing Austin Powers on 35mm if you need more evidence to support my “so cool” argument.
