Seeing lots of outrage that the Dems caved, but it’s worth noting that federal employees are people too. We’ve been beaten up all year. My wife was illegally laid off on April 1. I’ve been without a paycheck for 41 days.
I have a family to provide for. Places aren’t giving us a break. We need help.

Karate Kid: Legends
For a long time, I was fairly unfamiliar with The Karate Kid franchise. I’d seen bits and pieces of the first two films at some point in my childhood, but they clearly didn’t grab my attentio…

Tonight feels like a big deal. Haven’t felt that in a while. At least not in the right direction.

I am reading Alan Moore’s run on Swamp Thing for the first time ever, and this absolutely rips. Forty years old and still a prime example of stunning storytelling.

I get that comics are serious business, but stuff like DC x Sonic the Hedgehog are the epitome of what comic books are meant to be.

📽️ Finally got a chance to watch Superman, and was so disappointed. I really wanted to like it. I thought the actors were phenomenal, but sadly, I did not care for the story or the wild tonal shifts. Not sure Gunn was the right choice to direct this.
Anyway, I wrote WAY too much about this movie.

I love when I watch a movie and it turns out to be not what I expected, and then I have to stew in my thoughts and figure out how I feel.
Anyway, just watched James Gunn’s Superman. 😳

📽️ Maybe the least necessary movie review ever. If you’re a Demon Slayer fan, you’re already locked in. If you’ve never seen it, you would never start the series with this film.
And yet, this movie RULES. It’s a stunning triumph of animation, and offers a glimpse into the future of the medium.

📽️ Finally got a chance to watch The Blackening (it’s on Netflix), and what a fun film to kick off the Halloween season! Not scary at all, but deeply funny. Anyone who enjoys satire that breaks down horror tropes will find a lot to enjoy with this.
The Blackening
Almost from the start, I knew I was going to like The Blackening. I love when films take risks and bend genres, and a horror comedy is maybe one of the hardest combinations to pull off. After all, …

Twenty years ago this fall, I walked into a used bookstore and bought damn near every @stephenking.bsky.social book they had. I was going to read them all, and then life got in the way.
Instead of reading as a college student, I read it this week as my daughter turned 4. This WRECKED me.

📽️ Friendship brings to life the inexorable spiral into insanity that we’re probably all one bad day from experiencing. A deeply weird film, and not without its faults, but one that really fires on all cylinders when it works. It spoke to me in ways I really didn’t expect. More in my review.

📽️ I expected to be let down, but the live-action Lilo & Stitch was very entertaining! It does deviate from the original film a lot, which can be a mixed bag, but it’s overall a great reimagining of an animated classic.

I’m slowly getting back into reading comics, and decided to dive into ULTRAMEGA. The first volume is incredible! Such an intriguing premise, and bonkers artwork.
Then, it totally shits the bed in its second (and final) volume. What the hell happened?!

I wrote about taking my daughter to her first theatrical experience. No kid is built the same as another, but if you’ve got a little one and you’re considering how to tackle the first trip to the movie theater, maybe this will help!
For me, I just wanted to capture the full experience.

Fit Check for Her Movie Theater Era
1,437 days. To be more specific, 3 years, 11 months, and 7 days. That’s how long we waited before my wife and I took our daughter to see her first movie at the movie theater.

We are taking our daughter to see her first movie at the movie theater today. We had been weighing what would be a great first movie, but our daughter’s insatiable KPop Demon Hunters obsession made it an easy choice.
Can’t wait to see what she thinks about the theatrical experience!

The more I think about Happy Gilmore 2, the more annoyed I get. It kills me that it’s basically the antithesis of the first film. Now, instead of being the young upstart challenging the status quo, Happy is part of the old guard standing up against a new young upstart looking to do what he did.
