Writer of things. Lover of Batman, Stephen King, Tom Petty, John Carpenter, the Coen bros., and general nerd stuff. Mostly I collect stacks of movies and books. Physical media forever. I have over 1,200 4K discs now. I might need help.
Nice foggy Iowa morning. Listened to the new record from The Mountain Goats turned up loud on the drive home from work. Stellar stuff.
Listening to Michael Giacchino's score for THE END OF OAK STREET and it's kind of like his work for UP and LOST mashed together. That's a major compliment. Eternal favorite composer.
I don't spend $72 a week on food for myself. I don't understand how people operate at all. Go out and get your own food, Jesus.

My MARS ATTACKS! 4K arrived from Gruv, once again from the absolutely bizarre UniUni delivery service, which gets worse every time. Checked both my front and garage door several times each before realizing they had tossed it on the bed cover of my truck out in the driveway.
Let the people who want their Casual Sex Purge Movie have their Casual Sex Purge Movie, who gives a shit. Spoiling a movie makes you an asshole 100% of the time.
It's odd that TED LASSO continues to be reviewed as though the show's job is to reinvent comedy and reshape modern narratives. It's just trying to be a pleasant time, and it is.
The basement's drywall is all fixed and everything has been painted. Now I'm just waiting to hear about when flooring can get done, and then the baseboards/trim/doors. I would really like my main living space back.
Now would be a good time for the NFL to undo their idiotic deal with EA and open the football video game market back up to some competition. Madden has already sucked for years, but AI-designed Madden from an openly fascist company? No thanks.
Starting to think people who translate ancient poems need additional hobbies to fill their time.
You think at some point Eli Roth would maybe accidentally direct a good movie, but it hasn't happened yet. THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS is as close as he ever came and I don't see that happening again.
Forever fighting the urge to instantly block anyone who uses the term "based"
My mother texted me today to let me know she wished the new Spider-Man movie was 30 minutes longer because she liked it so much. Movie is going to make so, so much money.
Having sat on it for a few days, it's time to rank the Spider-Man movies I've seen theatrically: 1. BRAND NEW DAY 2. SPIDER-MAN 2 3. SPIDER-MAN 4. INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE 5. NO WAY HOME 6. FAR FROM HOME 7. HOMECOMING 8. ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE 9. SPIDER-MAN 3 10. AMAZING 1 11. AMAZING 2
It's very funny to me that the lesson Marvel took away from NO WAY HOME was "audiences love the old casts!" and not "audiences love good stories!" Now BRAND NEW DAY is demolishing box office records without nostalgia plays and the next AVENGERS movie doesn't have Spidey but does have old Fox shit.
Got the Lego X-Files Mulder's Office/Scully's Lab sets ordered.
Arrow 's October seems to be THE LAST BOY SCOUT, CHINESE GHOST STORY trilogy, and FUTUREWORLD.
A new best Spider-Man movie in 2026? What a time to be alive.
Off to see Spider-Man perform Sting's 1997 solo album in its entirety.
Ryan Murphy is a terrorist and should be treated as such. Embarrassing that FX, otherwise perhaps the best of all the prestige TV networks, continues to fund that despicable hack.
Bloody Disgusting@bloody-disgusting.com · last wk.AMERICAN HORROR STORY SEASON 13 isn't just a sequel to COVEN... It's a sequel to EVERY SEASON. Ryan Murphy teases, "So Sarah Paulson is playing six or seven roles. Jessica Lange is playing all four of her iconic characters. They all come together to defeat the ultimate evil."
I'm going to cherish every idiotic moment this show gives me for as long as the crew is alive to make it.
No, surely not Jared Leto, the one person in Hollywood that we've known for a fact was doing this sort of thing for decades with seemingly no repercussions
I have a hot take from my time with Halo: Campaign Evolved, and I recommend you buckle your seatbelts for this one... Halo is fun as hell.
Woof, that steelbook. Glad the standard looks decent.
Disc-Connected: Your trusted news source in physical media@disc-connected.bsky.social · 2w ago***RELEASE DETAILS*** Coming on September 22nd on #4K #SteelBook and standard 4K in the US from #WarnerBros: #InterviewWithTheVampire (1994)! Against the backdrop of a gloomy San Francisco, the nearly two-century-old vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac, recounts the unbelievable story of his eternal
It's very odd to me that someone would aggressively rip into someone's abilities as a writer and savage their work for the sin of making a billion dollar adaptation of an ancient poem, especially when the person you're attacking has repeatedly praised you in public.
