a january tradition: catching up with remarkable new releases i missed. thanks to @headexposure.bsky.social for pointing me to this gem: full of life and ambition, the action scenes whip, and the emotional beats are surprisingly effective for how silly the whole thing is youtu.be/VKzbpeFLXTk?...

happy new year, everyone!! 2025 was a real mixed bag for me, but it's given me the chance to start some personal projects i'd been wanting to for years, and to reevaluate what's next for me. grateful for all of the people i have in my corner, and to everyone who has engaged with the work!

Cannot emphasize enough how much we were talking about the first Happy Gilmore here. Also this movie doesn't suck for more reasons than "is funny," it fits my criteria for what makes a sports setting really sing on film, too.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.
