Casual post holiday run. Was too busy and lazy to do any in Arizona so I had an unintentional 4 day break. Key is to get right back on the horse. 4 ish miles.
Unreasonably warm but it felt great all the same.

The new ANACONDA reboot tries its best to do something interesting, recognizing that a remake of the '97 movie would have been a fool's errand.
All the same, more than anything, it proves the original is a unique and untouchable cult classic. I love it dearly.

James Ransone's passing hit me hard. That's in no small part because he was a key part of some of my favorite horror movies of the last 15 years. He was a lowkey secret weapon.
I did my best to pay tribute to a great character actor who left us far too soon.

Oh f**t it. Peter Debruge calling THE LIFE OF CHUCK the worst movie of 2025 sent me. That's only possible is if he saw 1 movie this year.
You'll never catch me writing a "worst of" list but forced to at gun point, I would at least understand that words have meaning. You know, like the word "worst."

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH had one of the biggest openings at the box office in 2025 with $345 million globally. Was it smaller than WAY OF WATER? Yes. Does that matter in the grand scheme of things? Not really.

Because of all the ear issues I had this year I can't use in-ear headphones anymore, which has made listening to music far less enjoyable. I got some big over-ear headphones recently and at long last feel like I can actually bump tunes in a satisfying way.

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH will be fine despite a soft $88 million box office opening in the U.S. Depending on how things go we might need to have a conversation about the viability of AVATAR 4 but let's not pretend the sky is falling.

The new ANACONDA has all of the right pieces. Good cast, an interesting take, some funny ideas. Unfortunately, it comes up a touch short much of the time. Some great bits. It's charming. CGI leaves much to be desired. A mixed bag.
