“Black Phone 3”? I’m in.

You’re going to have to be much more specific. That could go for so much right now.

Confession time: I was skeptical about “Black Phone 2”. I thought the first was a perfect little one-and-done thriller that went exactly far enough. I saw 2 today, and I was wrong. @crobertcargill.bsky.social & Scott Derrickson - I apologize and will not let it happen again. Just fantastic.

Watched “Night Moves” (1975) for the first time, and boy, stating the obvious, Gene Hackman one hell of an actor.

It’s just that it takes 45 minutes to recover from the spinning.

Freak Show really ups it all, and was the most satisfying season for me.

He’s feeding before he wraps himself in his mucusy wings before he goes into late fall hibernation.

Okay…”One Battle…”. I really really liked it, but I’m not sure it’s the masterpiece that people are saying. It’s definitely relevant, but the tone is all over the place. PTA is one of our great directors, and there’s definitely some top tier scenes in this, but I think I’m missing something.

Just a reminder: the US Border Patrol is in Chicago, a city 1,471 miles from the US-Mexico border.

While it doesn’t quite hold up to memory, there’s still some good stuff in there. The library scene between Robards and Pryce soars.

The multiple “shut-shut-shut”s are a thing of BEAUTY.

Pete Hesgeth is the human equivalent of “This could have been an email”.

Just a reminder, the orange fuhrer just told the military that those that don’t agree with him are the “enemy within” and should be treated as such.

They way Trump is going after Tylenol, they must have the Epstein Files in time-release gel cap form.

Hey toots!

General rule of thumb: if someone is demanding you to agree to a “pledge”, they are not looking out for you.

100%

Finally saw “The Long Walk” stunning in every way. Hoffman and especially Jonsson are unbelievably good. This is a fine addition to the best films by our Constant Writer, @stephenking.bsky.social. One of the best of the year.

Man, remember when we had a president who didn’t immediately make things worse when he opened his mouth? Obama may be the last true statesman.

Iger doesn’t have the stones to even ask them to validate his parking.

Seriously, the first media company that has the stones to stand up to these knobs and say, “Screw you, we’re not changing a goddamned thing. See you in court” would have my loyal viewership for life.

I’ve been saying this for years: once they get rid of the gays, blacks, Mexicans, liberals, etc., who’s left? Those who make less than 2 million a year. You may be higher up on the food chain than me, but you’re still on the menu.

Watching the orange buffoon in England and all I can think is he’s the guy who shows up at the party, clogs up the toilet and clearly didn’t use any TP.

How are we not sick of the relevance of this song?

You can kick!

Probably my second favorite Prince album. Just fantastic.

You’ve hit the big time - you just got yourself an “And…”. Awesome.

I’ve discovered with my current facial hair and hair length, as long as I’m wearing a baseball hat, it’s not bad. However the moment I take the hat off, you can’t help thinking, “Well there’s a fella who’s found himself on a watch list a few times”.

It’s a fantastic book at any price.

I think he’s molting.
