Dinosaur stuff in JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH is really good. Human stuff is pretty meh. You'll convince me that dinosaurs are real and walk the earth before you convince me that David Koepp wrote some of that dialogue.

Saw Hiss Golden Messenger at Summerfest this afternoon and now I have a new favorite band. Strong songwriting, great grooves and just the right amount of jammy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBkN...

Was deeply worried that tonight's AMC Screen Unseen mystery movie was going to be BRIDE HARD. Thankfully, it was R.T. Thorne's intense post-apocalyptic action thriller 40 ACRES, with a ferocious lead performance by Danielle Deadwyler.

Here's the full report for reference. All pretty routine for an event of this size. No apparent attempt by police to demonize protesters, as has happened in other places.

“We’ve seen the ugly videos of ICE coming up to people on the streets, ripping them away from their kids, pulling them out of their cars,” Tramonte said. “And on Friday, when they went into neighborhoods in Los Angeles, the people said, ‘No, you’re not doing this here.’”

I correctly predicted that the AMC Screen Unseen movie tonight would be THE LIFE OF CHUCK. What I did not see coming was what an emotional wallop it would pack. Wow.

Really enjoyed talking to Stephen Chung about his LONG journey to make a Broken Social Scene documentary. The result is a poignant and kaleidoscopic film that's hopefully coming to your town. notthatrobthomas.substack.com/p/why-a-brok...

When I first reviewed DEAD MAIL in February, I noted that the coda pretty blatantly used AI. I'm told that now that it's streaming on Shudder, the AI has been removed. I'm grateful -- it blemished an otherwise terrific thriller. notthatrobthomas.substack.com/p/dead-mail-...
