Sad to report that visual effects artist Chris Stoski has passed away. Chris was the ILM digital matte supervisor for "Star Trek" (2009), and was responsible for this amazing painting of the Enterprise under construction.

REDUX REDUX is finally out this weekend, and I urge y'all to prioritize this one.

A resourceful, tightly wound sci-fi indie with fantastic performances and well-mapped thrills. It's got the goods.
SXSW 2025 Review: REDUX REDUX Sets Vengeance On Repeat In This Bloody Time Loop Thriller - Daily Dead
The McManus Brothers’ Redux Redux tinkers with narrative fire. Time loops and parallel universes have bested countless indie filmmakers. For every Blood Punch, +1, or Dead End, there are double the ne...

Gmail search has basically become useless, but at least a completely unrelated string of words surfaced this ancient Wampler email.

Also funny that he was hunting for these Stephen King scripts several years before Kingcast.

Miss that fool.

Let’s all assuage @mikeryan.bsky.social’s fears and turn up for this movie. You’ll be very, very glad you did.

And before that two dancers performed to the PERFUME: STORY OF A MURDERER score, which meant the announcers had to explain the plot of the movie in their commentary. Amazing stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Oy-...

honestly a little embarrassed I let the pitch get as far as it did, but I’m fine with that if this helps any other tiny pubs avoid getting scammed.
Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

In this house we repost Benson & Moorhead.
I finally got around to watching The Endless. Holy shit, that's a good film. So incredibly well constructed and just beautifully shot. A perfect example of using the medium of film. You couldn't tell that story as well in any other way.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

As the rare Simon Williams lifer: Marvel’s “Wonder Man” pulls only a few grace notes from the comics, leaving little overlap between the page and the screen. The show is all the better for it. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

The Disney+ series completely ignores Wonder Man's comics canon — and it works out for the better.

Today CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD is on Hulu.

Which means, if you bundle, it's also on Disney+.

Which means your toddler should skip BLUEY today and watch CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD instead.
