WHAT!? A review on an anime? Well that rarely happens. While probably moot, if you haven't made the call yet here's the word on Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba #infinitycastle

Lord of the Rings walked so that Garraty could walk! It took a long time to get an adaptation and many paces lie ahead of you in a viewing, so was it worth the wait to see a movie version of #TheLongWalk?

Jared Leto is adding himself into a franchise with a beloved but mixed history in terms of critical response. What's the end product like?

We've faced years of revived franchises. Who knew #ToxicAvenger would be one of them? Whether you hit an unrated screening or wait a little longer, is it worth adding to your list? #45sec

Expect a rush of catch-up review in the coming days (hopefully). Have the patience of the title character as you get a preview of #GoodBoyMovie

Boy oh boy was this an experience. Seven months after its initial release the American box office gives us a chance to look at this movie for ourselves! So here we go!

Some recent chatter on TikTok got me thinking about some lore!
In the early years of my pro convention career I had a productive conversation with the guy helming an up-and-coming con with a table at Katsucon. Seemed like a great lead. He gave me to a point-of-contact that I hit up after the event with a refresher pitch, where someone else brushed me off with a line that sticks with me to this day: " we do not pay for programming." A copy of that email was framed. Initially as a little inspiration piece. Now I look back on it as both an iconic highlight of disingenuous behavior by for-profit cons, and something to laugh about when the same group surveys its attendees about how to add value to their badge.

Sometimes you have to resort to drastic measures when archiving old disks. Here's my 'repair kit' for 5.25" disks that are so filthy that they have to be extracted from their case and thoroughly cleaned. Placed back in a clean donor sleeve so that they can be read.

Disney has been doing crazy things with live action adaptations. You all know how I feel about them on the whole. The question is: is #SnowWhite going to change my mind? #45sec

In 2022, I introduced the project DISCMASTER, which is a unique project to make the internals of tens of thousands of 1990s-2000s CD-ROMs findable in a semantic search.

Today, I'm announcing the team has now made DISCMASTER 2, a ground-up rewrite with so much improvement.
