When I was a kid, it was LEVIATHAN >>> DEEP STAR SIX, and, Alan? I was wrong.

You can tell the movie industry has slowed down because we’ve gone a few months now without a reimagining of Peter Pan.

β€œBorn to Run” is such a terrible song - it’s obvious Bruce Springsteen has never been around a newborn.

I always offer a swap. Works 99.9% of the time.

Santo Domingo, more specifically. Where the game’s 6th Street gang hangs out. Which is funny, because this is ON 6th street.

One of the places we’re rehearsing looks like any neighborhood alley in CYBERPUNK 2077’s Night City.

Gina Carano is the only talent I’ve ever seen at comic con with their own closed-off tent to hide them from the public.

I've always loved this Jack Kirby illustration from The Demon #10 - so I made this new piece

This looks like something you get from a vending machine in CYBERPUNK 2077

I felt like I *had* to get on Instagram again because of networking on productions/sets, etc. My rule is I only use it for the one thing - John Gholson: The Actor - and not family, friends, food, fun, thoughts, games, farts, arts, cats, or any other aspect of my life AT ALL.

I didn't want to see this line die without getting bowler & suit Riddler, but that doesn't look like it will ever happen. (Also, no Mad Hatter or Astin's Riddler!)

I've seen more movies theatrically in 2025 than I have in a long, long time.

Guy on the radio said Rotten Tomatoes was β€œSiskel & Ebert. It’s a movie critic.” And furthered the too-common notion that the percentage quantifies how good a movie is (this movie is 80% good 🀑) and not a percentage of positive reviews (80% of critics enjoyed this movie).

Please do me a favor, if you see this, and you think it's something you'd pick up, comment on this post with 🎲

It's one thing to have AI art in a movie or an AI ad for jeans or whatever. It's another thing entirely for geo-politics as we slip from post-truth rhetoric into not being able to believe *our own eyes.* Shit is about to get pretty dire, pretty fast, if we can't get in front of it.

Curating that art is still a valuable skill - those Fullwarp AI TikToks are the closest thing I've seen to actual nightmares and they *are* artistic and devised with purpose - but they literally couldn't exist without the work of others. They are hand-picked happy accidents formed by prompts.

AI media is not ever going away & it's only going to get less noticeable. My concern is not shoving the toothpaste back into the tube, but devising laws & mandatory labels that will tell people "this is fake toothpaste." And we need to do that shit fast and on a global scale (impossible? idk, prob).
