I've not read Sumner or Morris's books yet, but it does sound like he got a Manchester Screwjob. (It also sounds like he was a difficult collaborator, to say the least.)

StudioCanal announces Paddington 4 and Escape From NY reboot that sadly aren't one film StudioCanal announces Paddington 4 and Escape From NY reboot that sadly aren't one film

I'm very glad that John Carpenter is probably going to get a giant check for a reboot that I will not watch.

Wondering if Peter Hook will be on stage with the other members of Joy Division. The acrimony there is very strong.

The kids are alright.

He died this past weekend at the age of 87! Good run, great presence on-screen.

(Also, really glad that Mariqueen Maandig took a break from raising their kids to join her husband on stage. What a great duo they make live.)

Nine Inch Noize - As Alive As You Need Me To Be - Live at Coachella 2026 YouTube video by Coachella

Missed out on this Saturday evening; stupid of me. Still, excited about the Nine Inch Noize album coming out this week.

Robert Ryan was always good* but in that movie, he's fucking titanic. Laconic evil.

(*and Spencer Tracy, of course)

tell the fridge to make the noise

As one of the three people who loved Liman's LOCKED DOWN (which felt a lot like a Soderbergh movie), I'm obligated to pipe up here

Imprints: Tucker Carlson Books Skyhorse Publishing will launch a new imprint with media host Tucker Carlson. The imprint is a partnership with Carlson's media company, which has a revenue sharing agreement with the publisher, according to the WSJ. Carlson and his business partner Neil Patel "also launched a precious metals company and a nicotine pouch company." The first list will include Russell Brand’s How To Become a Christian In Seven Days, Milo Yiannopoulos’ Ex Gay, and Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong's Killing Cancer. Brand's literary agent and previous UK publisher, Bluebird Books dropped the author due to sexual assault allegations. Brand faces rape and sexual assault charges, which he has denied, in the UK. Simon & Schuster canceled a book by Yiannopoulos in 2017 after a video surfaced in which he seemed to express approval for grown men having sex with underage boys; Yiannopoulos eventually self-published.

“skyhorse is doing some absolutely rancid shit” is just a day ending in y but this is exceptionally disgusting even for them

I'm going to keep littering until they break out Mike Ehrmentraut.

Really deserved to have a Odenkirk-esque second act.

Stephen King holding up a copy of THE DEAD ZONE and saying "I FUCKING WARNED YOU."

(Shane Black basically said this at Friday's screening of THE NICE GUYS. He went on a tear about Trump and it's good to see that he's a decent one, despite with the Steven Wilder Striegel stuff.)

Reply: Phil Hartman Reply to the Reply: To top it off, he was a fabulous person to work with. We were doing a movie where parking was not near the set. So every morning, we are all piling into vans to head from parking to set. If you happened to luck into a van in which Phil was riding, a tradition existed where someone in the back of the van would say, “Is that Troy McClure?” He would always respond with, “You might know me from ‘Cry Yuma!’ or ‘Here Comes The Coast Guard!” It never got old, he never repeated a title, and he never got tired of it cause he knew it was a great way for the crew to start the day with a laugh. God bless that man.

Sometimes, you get really mad at this timeline all over again..

Again, I must point out that Star Trek did it first.

A review indicating that I did not especially enjoy Thunderball

Yeah, Pope Leo is weak on crime. Y'all act like you don't remember Benedict driving around in the popemobile, wearing a Knightfall-era Batman costume, snapping necks and dropping people off buildings.

The Connery Bond Rewatch continues.

This is a really tough decision, I hope you find some comfort in the fact that she knew exactly how much you loved her and she loved you back just as much.

Griff.

Oh, that's good.

Uh, so she's never seen what QT made after seeing this, so...

Arrow Video's release of CITY ON FIRE

Showing RK the good shit.

Look at these dudes!

There were some at my mom's house last weekend and I tried to get a shot with my phone. Failed, of course, but it's nice that a good friend like you got to see the little dudes and capture them.

I could loan you the blu-ray!

I'm worried about showing it to my wife because the theme song setd such a high bar but anything after that is going to be disappointing.
