Real love still happens sometimes.
It cannot be overstated how movies released exclusively on streaming services have almost zero cultural impact, no matter who’s in them. This is less true for series (i.e. #WhiteLotus, #Severance). If movie theaters go away, movies won’t be too far behind. Season-long storytelling only.

#MarvelStudios captured the internet's attention for more than five hours today by live streaming a series of (mostly) empty chairs that revealed many of (but likely not all) the characters appearing in 2026's #AvengersDoomsday.

#SkeletonCrew is so, so, so good and stuck the landing with its finale. Great characters, interesting creatures and a genuinely heartwarming story make it one of my favorite #StarWars things in a while. Binge the whole season if you haven’t watched it yet! I hope we get more.

First there were books. Then a movie based on the books. Then a book adapted from that. Then a stage musical. Now a theatrical release. Truly, there is no rest for the Wicked

Wow, I really dug #Nosferatu. Goofy and gross with a lot of fun performances. Consider me a Robert Eggers stan for life.

I love the #DieHard movies, but I also love how everyone talks like kids who just learned what curse words are. Especially in the second one.

#SkeletonCrew is exactly the type of #StarWars story I’ve been waiting for. Lovable characters (Neel is the greatest), cool alien designs and a genuine, non-cynical sense of wonder. I’ll watch the first two episodes many times this week. What did you all think?

So … I’m super excited about #StarWars #SkeletonCrew next week. But just how many Jedi were around during the Original Trilogy? Kinda hoping there’s a swerve with Jude Law’s character.
