Pop Culture is so fractured now, there is little understanding of why Hulk Hogan was such a Huge Deal. There aren’t really any crossover Superstars anymore. Just stars of their own thing. HH transcended to a level beyond even someone like Taylor Swift.

PREDATOR is one of my Mount Rushmore Of Movies movies.
KILLER OF KILLERS does not disappoint.
FINALLY, someone (Dan Trachtenberg) has figured out how to build a franchise properly around this character/concept.

Tony Gilroy has cracked the code for streaming. 3 episodes at a time, telling an overarching narrative with individual plots that all serve the Grand Narrative. It’s ridiculous how good ANDOR has been and is getting.

A good way to honor Val Kilmer would be to seek out and watch THE SALTON SEA. It’s a product of its time, but it’s the film that made me realize he had real talent and depth beyond the popular stuff he was in.
Would pair well with KISS KISS BANG BANG as a double feature.

How do *you* contemplate your mid-life crisis? For me, it’s dreaming about sports cards that are way too overpriced but that if I were a millionaire I wouldn’t hesitate to buy in a second. Like this one.

I know they've always been tools of runaway capitalism or whatever, but why does every Super Bowl commercial being leaked 2 weeks before the game bum me out so much? Like, we all used to just enjoy them as they happened. One of the last "communal experiences" in culture. Gone.
Thanks, dicks.

You side with oppressors or the oppressed.
There is only one correct choice.

You love to see people discover things. It’s an honor to hear about, really. It’s never too late to give That Movie you’ve been meaning to see a shot. Truly could change your life.
I watched UNFORGIVEN for the first time today, and I don't know if you've heard, but really good. :P Seriously, each individual scene is wonderful, crackling, and important, and it builds a wonderful, crackling, important thing.

We need and frankly deserve Gerard Butler and Russell Crowe making a movie together. Some hardboiled actioner with wit and style.
Fuck it, make it a full on HEAT remake. I don’t care. I’ll buy every ticket.

Happy New Year, everyone. Last movie of 2024 for me was a doozie. I e seen it before but it still had me nearly hyperventilating dealing with the tension of the third act. Masterclass filmmaking from one of our Greats. Keep making movies, Sir Ridley. We need ya.
