IRON MAN 2 being 15 years old today boggles my mind. I saw this on opening weekend too. Time works in crazy ways. Anyway, I did a lookback on it recently which was fun, so come check that out!

Only 25 to go now. Let's do this thing, and you get good content in return! 🙏 ➡️ youtube.com/@shauryachawla

And it was...episode 8 of ANDOR S2. The Ghorman Massacre. A phenomenally directed and staged hour of television, up there as one of the finest achievements in Star Wars. It's things like this where I say this is the bar now for the franchise. Gut-wrenching episode. #Andor

Podcast Review: @jdduran.bsky.social and @brendanjcassidy.bsky.social are joined by @shauryachawla.bsky.social to discuss Marvel's latest in THUNDERBOLTS*! Watch: youtu.be/9Bqb-RHZO-k Listen: linktr.ee/insessionfilm

I'll always bring up Hugh Jackman here. Everything I'd heard about the man before meeting him was that he was so patient and kind with everyone, and gave everybody a chance to say hello to him and take a picture with him. He did exactly that when I met him at a premiere. Stopped by *everyone*.

"Take on Me" is legit one of those "enough to make a grown man cry" kind of moments in The Last of Us Part II, so I'm glad that they nailed that in the show as well. One of the game's best scenes, and now one of the series' best scenes too. #TheLastOfUs

Shockingly have never actually talked about THE FORCE AWAKENS before properly, so for #StarWarsDay today, let's look back on it a bit, now almost 10 years since its release. #StarWars #MayThe4thBeWithYou

So I'm 39 subscribers away from hitting 3,000 on YouTube, as close to the milestone as it has ever been. Let's finish this and get all the way there, shall we? #YouTube

🎶 Today this could be... 🎶

My favorite half of ANDOR S2 starts next. These first six episodes you've seen are great, but the second half is absolutely incredible, and to me, represents the best storytelling Star Wars has to offer. Can't wait for y'all to see it. #Andor

A very big fan of THUNDERBOLTS*, which is a lot of fun as you'd expect, but also incredibly poignant and hits a lot of complex, emotional beats. More thoughts below! #Thunderbolts

For my very kind paying subscribers, I wrote a bit on The Social Network. cloudsofgaia.substack.com/p/defining-f...

so anyways it’s currently grossed over $120 million

Hi everyone! At the end of this month, I'll officially be unemployed. As I'm hunting for a new line of work I just figured that if any of you are looking for a means of keeping myself financially stable, I'll plug my Substack, where paid subscriptions start at $5/month. cloudsofgaia.substack.com

Two decades later, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith has created a special legacy of its own that builds to this day. With its 20th anniversary this year, let's look back on it! #StarWars

I can reveal it now: that scene was in ANDOR tonight. It was the Mon Mothma dance, as it kept cutting back to Cassian and Bix. Incredibly edited moment and a fantastic ending to this first arc. You're gonna like the next few to come too! #Andor

Season 2 of ANDOR is a masterpiece, building on a stellar first season with more powerful performances and fantastic storytelling. Star Wars at its very best. More thoughts below! #Andor #StarWars

No one should have to spend the last day of their life meeting JD Vance.

We went through this five years ago. Non gamers, welcome to our misery. #TheLastOfUs

There's one episode in Andor Season 2...goddamn, if that isn't one of the most incredibly done episodes of the last few years.

ANDOR SEASON 2: far darker and bolder than its first run, loaded with more mature and thematically powerful storytelling and dialogue, incredible performances, brilliant visuals and emotionally gutting moments that moved me to tears several times. Star Wars at its finest. #Andor

SINNERS is a masterclass in filmmaking, excelling in everything across the board and carving out its own unique identity in the horror genre. The year's best so far. More thoughts below! #Sinners

See you in 2026, #ThePitt . Thanks for an incredible season of TV. It's been real.

WARFARE, for my money's worth, is brilliant. Unflinching storytelling, capturing a moment of the Iraq War in real time, with incredible direction from Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza. More thoughts below. #Warfare

WASHINGTON (AP) — AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists, citing 1st Amendment.

Can't wait to revisit this in 4K. I'm sure it's going to look incredible on disc.

Will have to keep this under wraps for now, but there's a moment in an upcoming episode of TV I just watched that's just so incredibly done and goosebump inducing that I can't wait to talk about it when I can. So, so good. TV is really killing it these days, man.

THE AMATEUR: a (mostly) solid slow burn of a thriller that had me hooked till the end, thanks to a terrific Rami Malek, slick direction and some fun action sequences. Extremely old school in its approach, and handles themes of grief and justice quite well. Good stuff. #TheAmateur

A MINECRAFT MOVIE is definitely a movie that's about Minecraft, just not a particularly great one. There's solid effort from Jason Momoa and Jack Black to keep things afloat, but not much else. More thoughts below. #AMinecraftMovie
