If you love "Aliens", I think this print is a must-see. I've caught the previous screenings of it and it's spectacular.

This inspired me to look through my Letterboxd and recommend a few titles with less than 50k views.

Holy hell, that is some incredible packaging.

It’s the 50th anniversary of the release of “Jaws”. Like so many others, it had a massive influence on me and inspired me to pursue film and TV professionally. It’s truly an incredible film that deftly balances adventure, horror, and humor.

Tonight marks the end of a multi-year experiment. My wife and I have been watching the "Friday the 13th" franchise, but only on Fridays falling on the 13th. We initially watched the first film on Friday, October 13th, 2017, but began the project in earnest in September 2019 with Part 2.

Ryan Coogler shouting out Michael Mann’s THIEF.

One thing that gives me hope is that absolutely none of these clowns truly understand how large Los Angeles is, or how deeply and profoundly unruly (complimentary)

“[He] was a relentless innovator, who worked effortlessly across multiple platforms during his long and storied career, so bringing his voice into this new medium feels like a continuation of that legacy.” Or you're exploiting a dead man's voice for your own gain. variety.com/2025/digital...

The excuses in this article from both the "writer" and the publisher are pathetic. "I do use AI for background at times but always check out the material first. This time, I did not and I can't believe I missed it." Oh, I can believe you missed it, Marco. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/05/c...

I'm so very tired of the "it's a distraction" messaging. It's not. It's who Trump is at his core -- hateful, vindictive, largely nonsensical -- and has been for decades. That his ignorance and arrogance now has regular signs of dementia just means his already flimsy mental filter has more holes.

This time Bungie blames it on a former artist. When it happened -- multiple times -- on Destiny, they blamed an outside vendor. They're a AAA studio with AAA budgets -- they can vet their art and compensate artists. That this continually happens shows there are both workflow and culture problems.

BREAKING NEWS: The long wait is nearly over — #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds finally returns July 17 with a two-episode Season 3 premiere! blog.trekcore.com/2025/05/star...

RIP, JDB. What a career full of diametric opposites - both villain and ally to James Bond, a BAFTA nominee and the subject of MST3K mockery (twice!) He also filled in on the "In the Heat of The Night" TV series, which I didn't know existed (146 episodes?!) www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
