There is no opposition party in the United States. Any official resistance is performative.

I have officially watched every Friday the 13th film.

My main takeaway is that screenwriting was really easy in the 80s because you didn't have to worry about continuity and you could let multiple films go by before you even locked in the antagonist's whole deal.

It’s funny to imagine Gabriel Iglesias talking to the other comics on the lineup and being the only one who didn’t have to alter his set at all to comply with the rules.

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

@bigandymac.bsky.social and I kick off a month of 90s tech films with Virtuosity, a Denzel Washington/ Russell Crowe precursor to The Matrix that explores what happens when a killer from a computer world crosses over into the real world.

I don't want to set unrealistic expectations for this film but watching this (along with the making of documentary DOOMED) really reinvigorated my faith in the passion of filmmaking. Such a really fun ride and a blast to unpack it with you guys.

This week’s episode was everything I love about doing Silver Linings Playback.

We watched Roger Corman’s unreleased 1994 Fantastic Four film. And I absolutely fell in love with the film.

I’m sure I will regret not putting things on here the longer I think about it, but this is my ballot for NYT’s Best Movies of the Century.

(I’m already regretting not including American Psycho.)

I met Sabu once outside of a high school gym.

He was booked on a local wrestling show but the Maryland Athletic Commission wouldn't let him do the show because the last time he was in Maryland he used tables in a match after they told him not to.

So they really just did the exact same finish in the women’s title match and intercontinental title match and thought we wouldn’t notice?
