If you live in the UK and you have a choice do not use Evri for deliveries because you won’t receive your parcel. I wouldn’t trust this useless company to deliver a pint of milk!

My screen-used images of the five historic Enterprises seen in the Rec Room set from Star Trek: The Motion Picture have arrived. Left LA on Wednesday night, arrived at my house in the UK on Friday morning. Thirty eight hours door-to-door: warp speed indeed! Thanks @propstoreauctions.bsky.social

Totally agree with Max, I thoroughly enjoyed PLAY DIRTY.
I always bet on Shane Black, and enjoyed PLAY DIRTY as a really fun lark of a pulpy heist thriller. Snappy, with Wahlberg making it work in DEPARTED mode. Rosa Salazar and Lakeith are good too. Not seeing why folks are so sour on it. Disposable fun in the best way!

A Masterpiece in Disarray is, appropriately enough, a masterpiece, and belongs on every Dune fan’s bookshelf. Happy second anniversary Max!
Reminded by Molly Wryn (pictured, with "Harah" misspelled) that today is the 2nd anniversary of my book A MASTERPIECE IN DISARRAY! An honor to tell the story of David Lynch's DUNE, including Molly's story. Thank you to everyone who's read it... or who will one day!

How do I know it was NOT just a “financial decision?”
Because CBS put out a statement saying it was “purely a financial decision.”

This week I got to visit the Paramount lot and my friend Charlotte Barker, Paramount’s Director of Film Restoration and Preservation—and the face of VistaVision! I even got to meet the team who brings these films back to life with their exhaustive restoration work. #filmsky #moviesky
