Just picked this up. One of Brad Pitt’s earliest film roles. Like many future stars, helped get his start in the horror genre.

Went to see The Long Walk last night. 4th highest rated Stephen King adaptation of all time. I love such a simple premise. But damn if I wasn’t curious about the greater context/repercussions of this world. A lot of folks in the theater left vocally unsatisfied. But maybe, weirdly, that’s the point?

I ran this poll on the channel the other day, and found the results pretty interesting. That’s a remarkably even divide—granted I don’t know what the age breakdown is.

I was born 30 years ago today. And I don’t think I’ve changed one bit. This is still pretty me every day workin’.

Nebula approved my pitch for a limited exclusive essay series I’ve been wanting to develop for awhile. I’ll keep y’all updated on that, but I’m hoping to push the boundaries of the traditional video essay format with it, at least a little bit. And if it’s successful, even moreso with a season 2.

Thing about one’s birthday coming up is that every few years it means time to renew your drivers license... Up bright and early today to get to that sweet, sweet DMV appointment.

The hardest part of my job is probably recording. Especially in NYC. Between the noise and the humidity, I’m stuck in a closet until 2 in the morning sweating my hair off, hearing my voice grow increasingly more exhausted hoping for a solid take. But then I wake up (at noon) so relieved it’s done.

Wrapping up work on my First Blood video that’ll come out in a few weeks. It somehow ended up at 14 minutes AND I couldn’t say all I wanted to say. So expect a part 2 shortly after. That’s the thing about classics.

Saw Fantastic 4 last night. Went in pretty blind. Fun time overall. Weirdly struck a tonal chord I was looking for in Superman, but that felt more authentically done here. Liked Silver Surfer’s movements. Liked the character dynamics. CGI & action scenes though… ehhh. Not a reason to rewatch.
