Excited to see the show written up in the Herald. If you're checking on shows in Edinburgh this month, don't miss STEVE BURNS: ALIVE.
Josh Pizzuto-Pomaco@joshpizpom.bsky.social · 16h agoI had the opportunity to interview Steve Burns of Blue's Clues fame, who is making his Fringe debut this week. He tells @heraldscotland.bsky.social about what it feels like to be declared dead by the internet. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2643565...
Another take on the MCU: after ENDGAME they decided to take lots of risks with weirder characters and the actual ticket buying public isn’t very adventurous.
I still prefer No Way Home, which, I'm sorry, is just full of stuff I really wanted to see. But I really liked Brand New Day.
I’m absolutely the target audience for a show like FROM, which is basically a LOST tribute with a horror bent. But still, after tearing through the series I have to say: Season 4 finale left a lot to be desired. C’mon guys. This ends in the middle of the -
(That it’s a fictional tapestry assembled one thread at a time by very different weavers) (Don’t tell anyone though)

The Odyssey Hot Take: It's public domain so we can make as many Odysseys as we want, all of us, if we care this much.
The Odyssey discourse is very healing as a Star Wars fan. We're not the most exasperating thing anymore! (Also, we were the canary in the coal mine?)
What if I like both Emily Wilson and Christopher Nolan? What happens then?

Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him
Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

One of the weirdest obsessions I have lately is NJPW wrestler Jake Lee, who is actively terrible but somehow kind of fun to watch. It's like...his name is Jake, he paints his face sometimes, his theme music is about being kind of bored, he's tall, and his finisher is the kick in the face. Ok?
Please stop using value-neutral terms for Trump like he’s a “consequential President.” Yes, an arsonist is “consequential” to the family whose house has been burned down. But there are better words to use. Like destructive. Like dangerous.
You heard it here first: "Odyssey: The Unknown West" is going to be excellent but very divisive among super fans. Then, the"Odyssey: Revenge of the Sea People" will to lean hard into fan service to recapture the mainstream crowd. Mia Goth? Much bigger role in the third than you might expect!
Wow, people on Bluesky are like "Avengers: Yawn." Which, I mean, you do you but I don't know. I like being excited about things?
Next week in NY, before we go to Edinburgh Fringe, STEVE BURNS ALIVE, which I developed and co-wrote, is previewing for two nights. Don’t miss it! tickets.matchbookfestival.com/nyc/shows/47...

Dawn McLachlan@deemclachlan.bsky.social · 3w agoI live in a small town in NE Scotland close to where chunks of the #Odyssey was filmed. Nolan’s cast and crew were all lovely and spent money like water in our hard-up area. He even made sure our tiny cinemas got on-time release of it when we normally have to wait for big movies. Thanks Chris.
Old enough to remember when hitting a desalination plant was considered a war crime.
“They’re cheating communists” is certainly going to lock in that 30% he loves so much.
The Odyssey is absolutely gorgeous and every choice feels so thoughtful. They literally don’t make ‘em like this anymore. I loved it.
Isn't it time for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to return with a streaming series? It's got an episodic heart and absurd and there's fresh comic talent that would absolutely kill in it.
How is he becoming less qualified every day? Than he was? 10 years ago? When he was dangerously unqualified. Oh yes. Aging.

The Republican Party really lives in a strange dream world filled with monsters. It must be terrifying to be a Republican.

Shota Umino being taken out of the G1 Climax is a shame, I feel like he was just figuring himself out. It's also a shame they're not replacing him with another wrestler, just making them all forfeits. Either way: speedy recovery to Shota. #njpw #wrestlesky
