Stellar review! As a fan of the book, I appreciated that this film attempted to be a more faithful adaptation than the 1987 version (albeit without the book’s *unfilmable* final scene).

Not the best movie I’ve seen this year, but definitely an enjoyable trip to the theater.

New Projector review! Edgar Wright returns to Stephen King's book for his remake of The Running Man, with Glen Powell being hunted - and cast the Arnie movie out of your mind because this is totally different. But does it have the usual Wright stuff? youtu.be/f7wHdi6qJZY

The 1987 movie tie-in version of "The Running Man" by @stephenking.bsky.social was unfortunately prescient. The back cover states, "Welcome to America in 2025 when the best men don't run for President."

Like clockwork, one of the first comments we'll see to a CD announcement is some variant of "Vinyl?". It's been a tough nut to crack, because no matter how much you read about the vinyl renaissance, @lalalandrecords.bsky.social still has copies of the "Goldfinger" album released in June.

Happy 80th birthday Neil Young. Ten years ago I was in LA and I saw him eating dinner with Daryl Hannah. This was his car parked outside the restaurant. Peeked inside and yes there was a huge Pono player.

This is mid-tier Arnie, and funnily enough the big guy is probably one of the weaker things in it. Apparently he was miffed at the director change, and his heart doesn't seem in it, mostly just going through the motions and delivering the cheesy puns. But even lesser Arnie can be fun.

The Running Man (1987): Arnold Schwarzenegger competes in a deadly game show in this very loose adaptation of the Stephen King book. Wright's remake is the better film, this was flawed at the time and is quite dated now, but there's plenty of entertaining camp, and Richard Dawson steals it.

Looking forward to this one!
The Running Man (2025): Glen Powell has to run for his life in Josh Brolin's sadistic gameshow in Edgar Wright's actioner based on the Stephen King book, which is closer than the Arnie version. Takes a while to build up speed, and a little bit uneven script-wise, but this is still Verhoeven-lite fun

Very enjoyable chat about the history of pop music between @taylorlorenz.bsky.social and author Chris Dalla Riva.

Nice interview, Taylor! Also -- check out "Ride Like the Wind" by Christopher Cross. It will improve your day 👍

And the sad part is that, somehow, DVD remains probably the most reliable home video format.

Part of what screwed Blu-ray take-up was just how terrible they were to play on a computer because of how complex the copy protection was, that it made it practically impossible.
The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.

I had very mixed feelings about One Battle After Another. Some enjoyable moments/aspects, but I don’t think I actually liked it. This article taps into several of the issues I had with the movie.

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them
