The idea of this movie used to freak me out, and now it’s a comfort watch for me! Excited to listen!

The increase in energy prices is shaping up to be the defining issue of the NJ gubernatorial race, with voters looking for someone to blame (whether they deserve that blame or not). I spoke to WaPo about the complicated politics of the issue (giftlink).

Soaring electricity bills could be the sleeper campaign issue of 2025

As costs continue to increase, voters are turning their ire toward politicians, shaking up this year’s governors races.

Apparently the new Splinter Cell animated series is out now on Netflix. I've missed this guy.

Ubisoft email says Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, Sam Fisher is back, with a grizzled spy wearing nightvision goggles and wielding a silenced handgun. A few other characters, including two female operatives, are painted underneath him, as well as some masked armed troopers.

There absolutely should be more romance in Star Wars. In any format. With more pairings.

Because that's always been the story!

I also wish we got more gothic romance movies. I think gothic is going to be one of my 2026 themes for the year.

Don't make me tap the Robert Pattinson quote, Leto.

“I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an assholes,” Pattinson said in an interiew with Variety in November. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.”

Watching it in the theater, I didn’t know it was going for gothic romance because the trailer was more focused on the ghost aspect, so it almost felt like the genre was the twist. A lot of people didn’t like it and thought the trailer was misleading, so those of us who liked it really hyped it up.

I like the movie a lot, but I definitely agree with a lot of your points. I kind of wish there was a book version, because I imagine a bunch of that stuff would have been in a book telling this story.

40 years ago on this day, Eddie Blake was murdered. The crime remains unsolved.

A panel from the 1985 comic WATCHMEN by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Most of the panel is red with blood, including a yellow smiley face button with a spot of blood across the right eye. Text across the top reads: "Rorschach's Journal. October 12th, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face."

Along with directing an episode of TWIN PEAKS, Diane Keaton also directed four movies (one doc, three features).

I’ve only seen two: HANGING UP and WILDFLOWER. They’re both flawed but interesting and make me wish she’s directed more films. I gotta track down the other two.

Diane Keaton, Meg Ryan, and Lisa Kudrow in Keaton’s HANGING UP

Patricia Arquette in Keaton’s WILDFLOWER

Looking for more books in the vein of four that have blown me away this year: sweeping emotions with a bit of history. Romantic longing a huge plus; sad English people not required but clearly a recurring theme
