Absolutely loved the first two episodes of PLURIBUS. Never doubted Vince Gilligan. Already locked into the bizarre nature of what's unfolding here. Brilliantly directed and written, and Rhea Seehorn is absolutely remarkable. Can't wait to see how the rest of it unfolds. #Pluribus

IS THIS THING ON?: a very somber and heartbreaking, but also very funny and even optimistic look at love and a marriage now on the fringes, led by terrific work from Will Arnett and Laura Dern, some solid dialogue and mature direction from Bradley Cooper. Really dug this one.

Go see this in IMAX if you got the chance. Looks and sounds incredible in that format, and you'll get this poster too! #Frankenstein

Always been in awe of Drew Struzan's work. Some of the most iconic, unique and dazzling posters of all time were made by him, and his artworks continue to be an inspiration and visual marvel to look upon. Rest in peace, legend.

And it was...episode 8 of ANDOR S2. The Ghorman Massacre. A phenomenally directed and staged hour of television, up there as one of the finest achievements in Star Wars. It's things like this where I say this is the bar now for the franchise. Gut-wrenching episode. #Andor

"Take on Me" is legit one of those "enough to make a grown man cry" kind of moments in The Last of Us Part II, so I'm glad that they nailed that in the show as well. One of the game's best scenes, and now one of the series' best scenes too. #TheLastOfUs

I can reveal it now: that scene was in ANDOR tonight. It was the Mon Mothma dance, as it kept cutting back to Cassian and Bix. Incredibly edited moment and a fantastic ending to this first arc. You're gonna like the next few to come too! #Andor

ANDOR SEASON 2: far darker and bolder than its first run, loaded with more mature and thematically powerful storytelling and dialogue, incredible performances, brilliant visuals and emotionally gutting moments that moved me to tears several times. Star Wars at its finest. #Andor

There's too many Val Kilmer movies and roles I've loved over the years, from TOP GUN to HEAT to TOMBSTONE to BATMAN FOREVER to KISS KISS BANG BANG, and the list goes on and on. One of the greatest ever to do it and such an integral part of cinema. Already missing him. RIP.

O'DESSA: part "Beyond Thunderdome", part the rock opera Todd wanted to do in "BoJack Horseman." Doesn't fully work, but the music is good, it's colorful and has solid work from Sadie Sink, Murray Bartlett and Regina Hall. If this was a 90's movie, it'd have a cult following. Maybe it will someday.

NO OTHER LAND: Israel wishes it had even an iota of the strength and resilience Palestinians have in their little finger. They will never be able to take everything from them, as much as they'll try with their bulldozers and weapons. And yes, they will be free, no matter what.

I'M STILL HERE: powerful, emotionally devastating in its look at an incredibly dark moment in Brazil's history, with a phenomenal Fernanda Torres carrying this movie on her shoulders. Brilliantly directed and written, with terrific camerawork throughout. A must-see.

WATCHMEN is my favorite graphic novel, and I'm happy to report the new two-parter animated movie does a very good job of adapting it, animated well and impressively bringing in the extended story aspects (Black Freighter, chapter bookends) cohesively, and landing the end. Worth watching.
