We have all the Prime in the world…

I need Alan Ritchson to do some more singing after REACHER. (Or sing in REACHER?) #TVSky

The absolute end of an era. Eon has been the custodian of the movie-Bond for over 60 years. An amazing run for this family business.

And now we have the number. No wonder they agreed to it. Cash out now and you can get $1 billion+. Wait until 2035 or later when Bond hits public domain and that number wouldn't have been nearly as high.

If nothing else, it's going to be interesting.

Not only did I not have "EON sells creative right to Bond to Amazon" on my 2025 bingo card, but I didn't have "The Rock plays a Hawaiian gangster in a Scorsese flick" on it either.

How long does Amazon MGM wait before calling the Nolan Brothers about potentially taking over James Bond? End of next week at the latest? (Assuming they haven't already, of course.)

EON selling creative control over James Bond to Amazon MGM is a shocker for sure. That said, I will withhold judgement until I see who they hire to produce & direct the start of this next run. Whoever they get will have to come out swinging hard on BOND 26 too, as Bond goes public domain in 2035.

Today we remember the late Showa era Godzilla director Jun Fukuda, who was born on this day in 1923. Fukuda-san also directed a vast library of great non-Godzilla flicks, such as "Ironfinger" and "Golden Eyes". #tribute #OnThisDay #godzilla #godzillafans

We already have that. It’s called a library. You check books out and you read them, anywhere, anytime. It’s literally free.

Something Tolkien adaptations keep getting right is that they hire people who are lil Tolkien nerds and they do stuff like this and it's beautiful.

The public library doesn't need to burn the world down to exist, and it's also a lot less likely to make shit up.

We did not have an episode today, so listen to this instead…even if it features @odstspartan.bsky.social…

I will go to my grave arguing that the Jackson 5 dance scene from Clerks 2 is one of cinema’s most romantic feel-good moments. Sure, it ultimately erupts into chaos, but that’s mostly Randal’s fault. But that sequence between Dante and Becky? That’s ❤️ to the Nth degree.

For funsies, my current views on post-2019 MCU efforts... Great: - Spider-Man: No Way Home - Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - WandaVision - Loki - Werewolf by Night Solid: - Black Widow - Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - Hawkeye cont'd...

"What's a movie that is wildly considered bad but you love it proudly?" CHAPPIE (2015, dir. Neill Blomkamp)

CAPTAIN AMERICA 4 is a hot mess. Good cast and a good concept for a story. Bad script and piss poor execution. The whole thing is shot like bad network TV. Nothing but center frame medium shots of everyone and every thing. There's no life to any of it, despite the efforts of the cast. What a waste.

This is a reminder that we came *this* close to getting a follow-up TV series to Tobe Hooper's SALEM'S LOT that would have followed Ben Mears & Mark Petrie as traveling vampire/monster hunters. (I bet we'd have actually met that San Francisco-based occult expert friend of Ben's in an episode!)

Last night, after watching THE GORGE, my teen son asked to watch something else that was "scary but short". He was too tired to sit down with a second movie, so I decided to finally introduce him to THE X-FILES by showing him a standalone episode before he went to bed. I chose "Home".

Hiya folks, just once again re-upping this post. As of now we are 33 responses. If you can help us hit 50, that would be swell. Deadline is this Sunday February 16th. Also fill out your 2025 Stunt Awards Ballots! Deadline is Monday, February 17th. Contact @brndnstrssng.bsky.social for more info.

Another holy grail title en route. If I am not mistaken, this hasn't had a U.S. home video release since VHS.

Twitter is awful, but let's not kid ourselves here: They're reading the DMs on every social media service and have been since the Patriot Act was established. Including this one

1. Alien 2. Aliens 3. Alien 3 4. Alien: Covenant 5. Alien: Romulus 6. Alien: Resurrection 7. Prometheus 8. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem 9. Alien vs. Predator
