With everything gone wrong in the world right now, at least we can cling to the knowledge that 2 megacompanies came to an agreement to keep the money flowing in the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet.
Just binged FOR ALL MANKIND - why didn't you all tell me how brilliant this show is? I love the grounded, methodical, inspiring, hopeful but realistic character-based approach. Any other series approach this level of excellence and wonder without getting too "out there"?

While we're all celebrating Liam Neeson's comedy film debut, here's one of his first comedic efforts for our Taken3 LinkedIn campaign. I got to direct him, hear his expletive-filled rant, and made him laugh when he did this promo for it: youtu.be/tyIz3X62Jnk #NakedGun

I’m a fan of Guillermo Del Toro, Benicio Del Toro and Francesco Del Taco.

TALK TO ME was one of the first horror films in a long time that actually scared me... great story, characters and performances and a truly unnerving paranormal mythology. #filmsky

why was it that difficult to find out how to watch South Park when I have literally every major streaming service?
NASA announced that Makenzie Lystrup will leave her post as director of the Goddard Space Flight Center. She held the job since 2023, overseeing a staff of 8,000 and a budget of $4.7 billion. Makenzie Lystrup was sworn in using Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot at NASA HQ. www.wired.com/story/a-top-...

Got to see the London production of Dr. Strangelove… in Pasadena! Thanks to National Theatre Live. A fun, funny adaptation of the film for the stage with some imprsssive stagecraft and a killer 4-role performance from Steve Coogan. Nothing beats the OG film but this was close! cc @kk53.bsky.social
Carpenter was cooking so fucking hard with this film.
got a 4K BD player finally and this is my first selection. holy shit it looks amazing. better than the 35mm print I saw in a theater a few years back. great film at any resolution!

AMC Theaters is going to add more ads to the pre-show! How dare they! Or maybe it's not a big deal. I break it down by the numbers in what turned out to be an epic think-thing on Substack. itsfullofstars.substack.com/p/here-we-ar... #filmsky
Imagine the outrage if Biden's FEMA chief was AWOL as a devastating natural disaster played out, claiming the lives of 100 people and counting. Now imagine it's Trump's FEMA chief and it's happening right now amid Texas' deadly floods. Except you don't have to imagine.
ah Utopia - the show about a pandemic that launched right in the middle of the pandemic - really interesting stuff, but too close to home to attract the audience it deserved.
this business of making audiences watch 30 minutes of ads before a movie, I had to know if it actually has business value (aside from the whole alienating audiences thing)... so I'm writing a Substack about it, and sadly it seems to make sense. deadline.com/2025/07/movi...
Like, who is he really? Is he a pure capitalist? Does he have a vision for the world to be overrun with dinos aka an apocalyptic cult leader type? Behind that friendly smile... an ocean of darkness.
More #JurassicWorld thoughts. The real villain of the entire series is Dr. Wu. He'll justify ANY amount of death and destruction to make more dinos and hybrids. But his character has never been fully explored, developed or exploited as a major story element.
Here's my sequel to the #Jurassic series: It's Titanic but Rose is Dr. Wu & the necklace is the Barbasol Can. Old Dr. Wu on a ship heading to Isla Nublar. Recounts his story as crew preps to search for the Barbasol Can. All get eaten. Only at the end does Wu reveal he had the can all along.
Really enjoyed the new #Jurassic... especially how they depict kills, very nature documentary in the best/worst way. That said, I never agreed with the core premise that audiences would be *bored* with real dinos as a driver for genetic hybrids. Check the wait time for Pirates any Tuesday at DLand.

Watched Independence Day again yesterday, and for some reason this time was really just hoping for the aliens to win. #filmsky
tried to watch my BD of Jurassic Park & it started skipping right before the t-rex attack. even after cleaning. 1st disc ever had that issue. had a 1st timer watching too… had to shift to digital - top 10 scene in history!

Back to the Future was released on this day... 40 years ago! In 2015 I got to write and direct content for the 30th Blu-Ray that even appeared in theaters! That day, directing Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown for 12 hours, was one of the greatest experiences of my life. youtu.be/7gpzJ_s3CrE?...

A lot of my text conversations involve me acting as a phishing bot to scam my friends. It's fun to be the algorithm!

everyone in the ad industry when it landed was like “well done folks”
I couldn't get 50 pages into this book. I tried. I couldn't do it. But one at a time, every damn line's a banger.

wait... today happens to be the 37th anniversary of INNERSPACE? I seriously had no idea when I started thinking about a sequel... weird!
I just figured out a perfect story pitch for INNERSPACE 2. And of course it includes Jack Quaid as Tuck & Lydia's grown son. Amblin, hit me up. Let's do this!
this is insane - the Google landing page when you search for Innerspace... ignores Meg Ryan completely. WTF Google? #scifi #movies

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

it is exhausting that we have to explain this to people who should by every indication be our allies, but have chosen to ignore, belittle and minimize our valid concerns.

John Carpenter's The Thing was released 43 years ago today, and here's the teaser trailer. I love teasers that show nothing of what we'll see in the film, with "exclusive" shots.
