Here's my effort to understand why "Sinners" has worked such a spell on me, and why I think it's not just the best movie of the year, but maybe the best of the decade. It's a movie that has truly stunned me every time I've seen it. #MovieSky thereinthedark.blogspot.com/2025/06/sinn...

There's a new season coming very soon of one of the most incredible podcasts I've ever listened to—and @longlead.com and @vermontgmg.bsky.social have absolutely outdone themselves this time around. It's genuinely unmissable. Have a listen to the trailer! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KRr...

The best argument @amctheatres.bsky.social can find is, apparently, “People don’t hate this enough for us not to do it.” But AMC clearly hates its audience. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

There is almost no chance you have heard of this movie. That needs to change. This is a true gem and I'm going to actually GUARANTEE you'll like it I can't believe for a second I'll pay out a single dime. Give it a chance. It's truly special. #MovieSky thereinthedark.blogspot.com/2025/06/bob-...

From my blog. I don't even remember having seen this film 10 years ago ... but now I want to watch it again. thereinthedark.blogspot.com/2015/09/catc...

I forgot to write this review of "The Amateur" after I saw it, and then I sort of forgot that I had seen "The Amateur." That's what kind of movie it is. #MovieSky thereinthedark.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-...

Just saw “Sinners” again, this time in IMAX 70mm. Two thoughts: * The “end credits” sequence is a sort of cheat. It’s SO integral to the movie and everything the movie is saying about life and love and good and evil and music that it’s horrifying to imagine some people might leave. Also …

There’s a reason preventable diseases are prevented. I guess we’re going to #FAFO.

Would love to see you there.

We continue our limited series Two for One this weekend with director John Carpenter. Join him and Ben Mankiewicz on Saturday night beginning at 8pm ET with FRANKENSTEIN ('31) followed by THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN ('57).

Looking back, 30 hours online each month was more than sufficient.

NYT: Biden Accepts $400 Million 747 Jumbo Jet from Saudis AP: Obama Accepts $300 Million Mansion from China Reuters: Clinton Accepts $250 Million Yacht from Russia ABC News: Bush Accepts $300 Million Ranch from Afghans Washington Post: Reagan Accepts $150 Million Personal Loan from Soviets #WhatIf?

I don’t normally comment about stuff like this, but: good golly it’s hot.

The Pope wears clothing that in most nations would be considered clothing for a women, and he selects a name and identity that is different than the one he was born with. Clearly, non-binary appearances and chosen identities are NOT the actual concerns of the far right.

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Disney’s going to build a new theme park in Abu Dhabi, but Tomorrowland at Disneyland has cobwebs, Spaceship Earth at Epcot takes you through a storeroom on descent, and half of the former Disney-MGM Studios are just empty buildings. #Priorities

I love Duolingo. I love its AI features. But using AI instead of people for jobs? No. That’s where I draw the line. Sorry, Duolingo. I won’t renew. techcrunch.com/2025/05/04/i...

On January 20, Donald Trump stood before a Supreme Court justice and swore to God — even though he refused to touch that Bible (hmmm …) — to uphold the Constitution. Now he says, “I don’t know” when asked if he needs to abide by it? Still no impeachment. So help him God.

New story alert! I've posted a new piece of short fiction, and would be delighted if you took a look. www.jswrites.com/mywriting/pr...

My husband and I were assaulted by a homeless person in LA today — he threw some unknown liquid at us and we called 911. Twenty-five minutes later, no police and the guy is gone and we are still covered in some unknown liquid. I don’t blame #LAPD but I do blame Mayor Karen Bass.

Happy anniversary to Disney’s near-forgotten almost-masterpiece, released this day in 1983.

“Sinners” is every bit as good as you’ve heard. Watching it is exciting, because it’s clear you’re watching a film that will become a classic. I‘m eager to see it again. #MovieSky thereinthedark.blogspot.com/2025/04/sinn...

New story posted at jswrites.com, if you'd like to take a look!

A shower head company ran an A/B test to see whether consumers will pay the additional price for a product that's made in the USA. Spoiler alert: No.

Just for one moment imagine this was Biden on the left. This one photo would ruin a presidency.

Let’s play a game. Imagine what Fox News and the like would be saying if Joe Biden had been caught sleeping at the Pope’s funeral. Sleeping. Can you even BEGIN to conceive of the outrage?!
