A handful of years ago Nick was “the future of epic fantasy” w/Mercenary King trilogy. Starts w/ THE KINGDOM OF LIARS. Is great.

Now, curtain rises on Act II, w/ Nick’s editor comparing him to Ray Bradbury.

Different comps, same great Nick. TERMINA STATION will have you missing your train stop.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Firestorm, and am happy as a Hyena that this new first issue is more killer than a Killer Frost

the multiplex of talent who worked on it includes Jeff Lemire, Rafael de Latorre, Marcelo Maiolo and Lucas Gattoni

Guy Lodge is a good choice for keeping Owen Gleiberman company.

This is some thrilling news for film journalism! Congrats @guylodge.bsky.social — we are all the richer for this.

A ★★★★ review of Our Hero, Balthazar (2025) Even reading a few reviews, I simply wasn’t prepared for how dark the movie is - or, for that matter, how good it is.  A powerful movie about empty lives, damaged souls, and false fronts, and for all ...

Just posted **** reviews of The Drama and of the one linked below

a great double feature BTW

last weekend a 20 mile walk, this weekend five movies (all in theatres) in one day.

The even better thing - not one of the five movies was a dud. All at least equaled expectations

i appear to have received a package 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

Valerie Perrine, ‘Superman’ and Oscar-Nommed ‘Lenny’ Star, Dies at 82 Valerie Perrine, who was Oscar nominated for best actress for "Lenny" and appeared in the "Superman" films, died Monday in Beverly Hills.

I mentioned Oscar night that three of the In Memoriam folks had been part of the Superman:
The Movie team.

Miss Tessmacher, now.

A ★½ review of Project Hail Mary (2026) Really? Make mine The Martian. I’m a big Ryan Gosling fan, and I liked the movie of The Martian a ton, and the trailer for this had me all excited, and I was all excited that I would get to see on one...

Goodbye to Park City For the last couple of weeks, I‘ve been chewing over my experience at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.  As one would expect, there was much written about the festival this year that focused…

A ★★★★ review of Crime 101 (2026) Sometimes when someone’s heart is in the right place you look past their flaws, and that’s the way I feel about Crime 101.  In one corner, we’ve got Mark Ruffalo plying a bad cop. Not bad as in corrup...

The Muppet Show return is quite quite satisfying. And I was one of the eldest people in the crowd watching - the Muppets work across many many generations. People half my age who’d downed every episode like they’d been Survivor binging or something.

Very muppetational

At least the Washington Post makes it relatively easy to cancel a subscription. I only had to click once, then twice, then thrice.

But now I need something else that’s good to read, because we should all get news from multiple sources.

Not eager to give Rupert my money.

But you’re not saying we should keep reading The Washington Post, Dalton? Are you??

Reading yes, but reading the desiccated husk of the Post should be a hard No.

Today is the 50th anniversary of Jenette Kahn becoming the publisher at DC Comics, an absolute watershed moment in American comics history, both business-wise and creatively.

A ★★★★ review of Islands (2025) The best 2026 release to date. It’s really good moviemaking.  A glance from a character hiding in the background twenty feet away. A brief few frames of a caress of someone’s back, just barely longer ...

Islands.

The first 2026 release that could
contend forYear’s Best

What does it say about me that I hear the news and immediately think about the Sure-Flo song?
