The Weird, True Stories Behind Amazon’s ‘The Vast of Night’
Bizarre recordings. Lights in the sky. Missing people. It all really happened—and some of the stories have explanations.

Mitchell Beaupre@mitchellbeaupre.bsky.social · 14h agoWent to go rewatch The Vast of Night, only to discover that they took it off Amazon Prime… the service that released it exclusively. So now it’s literally just not available anywhere. Good times.
Today is the day of “There Will Come Soft Rains” 🌧️ To Ray Bradbury in 1950, August 4, 2026 was once the distant future.
If you enjoyed the movie that kicked the Avengers off the top spot, do I have the book for you! (shameless self-promotion) www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/815923...
Ugh, no, don't. A hardcore antisemite. What a giant unforced error.

The recording of life advice from Glen Hansard is in bad shape, but I’m glad to have it anyway. Thought others might like hearing it too.

I found an old interview with Glen Hansard, from the Santa Monica beach where he once played for coins. Broke my heart all over again.
Glen Hansard Once Told Me His Most Important Lesson For Life
The Irish musician and ‘Once’ star never stopped being a street musician, no matter where he played.

Let’s not get angry at people about their movie opinions. Someone didn’t feel the same as you? I think it’ll be okay. I loved The Odyssey. Emily Wilson didn’t. I still like her, and I still like the movie. Let’s heed this wisdom about disagreement:

Spaceballs: The Clickbait I spent Comic-Con with the gang from Spaceballs: The New One, shadowing them as they orchestrated the return of Rick Moranis after 30 years. Then ... they lost him. Here's what happened behind-the-scenes at Hall H. 🚀
They let me tell Star Wars dad jokes at the SDCC Lucasfilm Publishing panel and I’ve never been so happy to be booed. Also look at these amazing panelists!!
Got a little dramatic at Comic-Con to show off the scale of my new Darth Vader book.💥 No tables were broken, but I think this demonstrates the physical weight of 50 years of Star Wars storytelling.
Thank you to all the fans--and to all the authors, artists, and editors--who came to our three Star Wars publishing panels at SDCC. Thank you for reading, supporting, and creating all of our books & comics--it means the world. Enjoy the rest of the con, happy reading, and may the Force be with you!
Would you like to take a private tour of an ancient city with Tom Hiddleston? Come, join us… But the Loki actor has a word of warning: “Don’t anger the gods…”
Tom Hiddleston Is Time-Traveling for Real Now
We explored ancient ruins with the ‘Loki’ star, whose Marvel antihero inspired the chronology-bending new doc ‘Pompeii: Out of Time.’

Christopher Nolan made something truly rare and special with The Odyssey. It’s not hyperbole. This movie resurrects what makes the ancient epic relevant now and always. It is easy to go astray in life. So, how do you find your way back to what matters?
Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Might Just Change Your Life
The Oscar-winning ‘Oppenheimer’ director has richly adapted the ancient Greek epic into a modern search for meaning.

You may see many reviews of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey today. Here’s mine. This is not just a superb action epic, but a warning: Nolan’s uses the ancient story to explore the many ways we can go off track, wait too long, and find ourselves mired in regret. www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

Emily Wilson is my kind of academic. She can go deep about the recurrent geopolitical forces that resurrect interest in The Odyssey over millennia. And she also says things like: “The eye sizzling on the stake. Love that!”
How One Woman Conquered ‘The Odyssey’
Emily Wilson’s best-selling translation of the Greek epic, which was praised by Christopher Nolan, brings the wisdom of ancient times to the present.

I'm the voice you hear at the start of this video saying, "Let's talk about your open shirt..." That opened the door for Sam Neill and Laura Dern to mercilessly torment their Jurassic Park pal Jeff Goldblum later in the chat (It made fun tease for the opener.)
The world may remember Sam Neill from the landmark blockbuster Jurassic Park, but there is another performance by the actor that will chill me forever. This performance remains haunting and powerful, even though it debuted almost 40 years ago and is now largely forgotten. 1/
Sam Neill Knew What Truly Mattered
The joy of watching the ‘Jurassic Park’ actor—who died yesterday at the age of 78—was watching the cracks appear.

One more thing on The Odyssey (for now) … All the Internet grumbling and griping about this casting choice or that casting choice is not just close-minded, it’s often factually off base and will be revealed as completely idiotic. We have to stop feeding the trolls by listening to these dummies.

I’ve only seen Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey once, so I’m not sure I can weigh in on the full scope of it. The film is magnificent. But it’s so textured and provocative that it will only deepen and grow in esteem with future viewings. This for sure: He didn’t let us down.
