A drunk guy jacking himself off to sleep while watching Love Lies Bleeding, the mangers calling the cops cause he was still hanging brain for all to see, and everyone getting free movie tickets was not the premiere saga I thought I needed, but here we are
Now that I’ve finished it, I just wanted to say that BABY REINDEER is without doubt one of the boldest, most courageous things I’ve ever seen. Brutally honest and empathetic.

Hot take: most of these fans are quite young and if this is their gateway to the wonderful world of split diopters, dolly zooms, focus pulling, tilts, pans, Dutch, and snorricams…good for them. A fun road lies ahead.
I think I know what edging is now. CHALLENGERS does for sexual tension what UNCUT GEMS does for anxiety. I want to play tennis so fucking bad right now. Zendaya said game, set, match.
It’s kind of weird how A24 does this 1965 slow rollout, word of mouth theatrical release shit. Everybody knows who you are now, blast that shit worldwide.
Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer, Norman Reedus, Austin Butler, and Michael Shannon are filming a movie by my house. You better believe I drove down there to peep.
I try to be so positive but I’m honestly disgusted with how (seemingly willfully) stupid an alarming amount of people are. “Watch Shogun!” “It’s not as funny as It’s Always Sunny…” It’s…not a comedy? Fucking WHAT?!
Just cancelled my ticket to Night Swim. Been an exhausting day and there are too many stone cold classics I’ve never seen. I’m prioritizing film education in 2024.
Keep and open mind. Keep and open mind. Keep and open mind. Keep and open mind. Keep and open mind. Keep and open mind. Keep and open mind. Keep and open mind. Keep and open mind. Keep and open mind. Keep an open

“It was his relationship with Jean Tatlock which was the thing that really made him lose his security clearance and ultimately kind of cost his career. I think it was vital to highlight the intimacy…
As my plane descends, my heart soars. Covering Sundance was a lifelong goal of mine. I’ve always loved movies. As a kid they were all I had, but I have to admit I never expected to love the people watching them next to me this much. Stories, after all, are about people.
Spotify removed my podcast STREAMING THINGS from their platform today (and thus all other platforms) without warning, citing a copyright claim but didn’t know/say anything specific. 6 years, 10s of thousands of hours of episodes. Gone.
My goals for 2024:
-stay sober
-serve others as a good father, husband, friend, and citizen.
-finish my novel and screenplay
-get back in shape
-1 million followers on TikTok
-build up my YouTube channel
-watch a lot of good movies
Well,

is certainly going to turn heads, that’s for fucking sure. Barry Keoghan demands an Oscars recount, and Emerald Fennell is a force to be reckoned with. Rosamund Pike was my favorite. I’ll be thinking about this for months.
‘FURIOSA’ includes a 15-minute action sequence that took 78 days to shoot with almost 200 stunt people working on it everyday.
