The only living Waterworld fan. Planet Hollywood Historian. Let Joe Dante direct the WALT DISNEY’S ENCHANTED TIKI ROOM movie.
30 years ago today MULTIPLICITY was released in theaters. While it didn’t hit at the box office, it remains an underrated gem in the directorial filmography of Harold Ramis and one of Michael Keaton’s best performances ever.
Public Service Announcement: CONEHEADS (1993) is streaming for free on YouTube.
This is my favorite scene from MINIONS & MONSTERS (2026)
You are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States this week. I’m celebrating the 35th anniversary of this classic TV treasure. We are not the same.

30 years ago today this was the box office opening day triple feature.
Whenever I want to illustrate the perfect use of a cameo appearance in film, this is exhibit A.
35 years ago today ROBIN HOOD PRINCE OF THIEVES was released in theaters. Accent or no accent, it’s the blockbuster version of Robin Hood I’ve always enjoyed the most. Alan Rickman is devouring scenery at every turn. And Michael Kamen delivers one of his most iconic scores (Hello, Morgan Creek).
The first movie I ever owned on VHS was the original E.T. video release with the green spine. I received it for Christmas in 1988. What was the first movie you owned on physical media?
Post a logo, emblem, or title (with its original font) that remains as perfect today as when it was new.

Michael Bay spent a decade making Transformers movies when all I wanted was a few more adventures with these two lovebirds.
This is the only villain origin story I want to see made into a movie
35 years ago today this was the box office opening day lineup. What a time to be alive.
If I had a nickel for every Jerry Bruckheimer-produced Hollywood Pictures movie featuring George Dzundza & released in the summer of 1995 I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s cool that it happened twice.
When I talk about the supporting cast of a film being a murderers’ row, TWISTER (1996) is always exhibit A.
30 years ago today TWISTER was released in theaters. Jan de Bont‘s worthy follow up to SPEED is a spectacular blend of digital & practical FX anchored by a 5 star character actor kill squad. One of my top 3 PSH performances & the movie that finally made Bill Paxton the leading man. We’ve got cows!
