And I stand by them!
At the conclusion of Superman, @mantisshrimp.bsky.social said 2 things to me that I couldn't have said better:
1. I love that this comic book movie wasn't afraid to be a comic book movie.
2. This is the first GREAT Superman movie in our lifetime.

Really disappointed that @ringerwrestling.bsky.social seems to have quietly gotten rid of Wrestling Worldwide, just like MackMania before it.

I really loved @cruzkontrol.bsky.social , @brianhwaters.bsky.social , and @khal.bsky.social 's dynamic together

I am 10 minutes into The Color Purple, and it's already a brutal watch

People refer to wrestling as a male soap opera, but man, I would love to see an actor/character from General Hospital just suddenly show up on The Young and the Restless as an instant big deal

So glad Conan O'Brien pointed out how tonight doesn't just honor famous actors, but also the crafts people, and THEN they proceed to play off all the crafts people mid-speech but indulge the actors

I am the poet at a loss for words.
I am the daydreamer who does not sleep.
I am the artist afraid of the brush's weight.
I am my own fantasy brought to life and lost to distraction.
I am the king of a broken throne, the wild beast who claws at the lion tamer.

Just got home from watching The Seed of the Sacred Fig, the daring Iranian film that debuted at Cannes this year. Its director was sentenced to 8 years in prison for releasing the film (!)

The movie's still washing over me, but you can read some reflections here:

A ★★★½ review of The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024)
Wow, nothing really prepared me for that final act. I found the opening hour a little long, but all of the immersion into present day Tehranian life felt retroactively critical for the end to land pro...

Watching Terminator 2: Judgment Day for the first time, and my favorite part so far is when Robert Patrick acts like a little metal grasshopper

Having sex is really important for lots of men. You might even call it their seminal experience

Is anyone actually enjoying Nick Fury in #SecretInvasion ?

I don't mean to brag, but Joe Hill did tell me I don't have a pulse. I'm *basically* a monster in one of his books now
The new Indiana Jones is epic and brilliant and if you aren’t thrilled, you don’t have a pulse. See it in theaters. Get the cup with the hat.
