A ridiculous thing about film distribution in 2026 is that MICHAEL is rolling out in IMAX theaters this weekend, for no damn good reason, while the Netflix premiere this week would absolutely *kill* in large format.
Carr was a really good and thoughtful dude. Had the opportunity to meet him a couple of times because he was a friend of our publisher. They don't many like him anymore in this business.
I’m not sure I understand your point.
Movie idea: Biopic of Bill Cosby that ends with the triumphant success of THE COSBY SHOW, followed by an on-screen title card reading, “And absolutely nothing of any significance happened after that, please don’t look up his Wikipedia page.”
Perhaps the most maddening thing in MICHAEL is how John Landis is kept hidden from view during the “Thriller” video scene, as though the audience couldn’t handle being reminded of *that* guy who caused children to suffer.
Would that I were.
A biopic doesn’t become *good* just because it doesn’t show the real people at the end, but at least it doesn’t become *worse*.
Apparently it is now a new rule that in any musical biopic, Mike Myers must play the record company exec.

I mean, if it leads to him getting fired and he suddenly has to arrange his own airfare to international sporting events and performances by his girlfriend, that’ll add up pretty quick right about now.
If you see this, post something orange from your gallery.
I made this tonight. And it was delightful. Thanks!
I understand that it is a feat of engineering. Good for them! But this feels like part of the “machines are inevitably taking over” PR nonsense feeding the AI bubble.
Mason Miller this season: 27 strikeouts, 38 batters faced
That 71.1% strikeout rate is the highest by a pitcher in his first 11 appearances of a season since at least 1900
You know what else would win a half-marathon?
A car.
Or even a person on a bicycle.
A machine exceeding the capability of an unassisted human is not news just because it has leg-like appendages.
It does make more sense now
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
That’s a good day. Congratulations.
The one thing that’s missing in New York?
Food options.
I’ve been a huge fan for a while now, got tickets for his SLC visit in August.
I guess the one main difference I’d offer is that Sahl wasn’t *personal* with his audience the way Johnson is.
He’s only on pace for 76, so I’d be concerned.
Is there some sort of class I need to take, or…
I mean …
Starting this game full Jokic as top-of-the-key facilitator.
Never had a doubt.
It’s so unfair that Rudy Gobert got both “Stifle Tower” and “French Rejection” as nicknames before Victor Wembanyama.
Not aging well so far.
