I do and do not have a joke about Schrödinger.
I had a joke about Heisenberg but I’m not sure about it.
I had a joke about Icarus but it fell flat.

With every new Benoit Blanc movie, Rian Johnson proves himself an incredible filmmaker who also understands the moment we live in. Wake Up Dead Man is beautiful.

Dan Trachtenberg and co. are out here creating some of the best Predator movies in the franchise and exceptionally cool movies in general. Badlands is an utter delight.

I'm not a huge sports fan, but I'm very glad I got to watch Messi score a goal live at least once.

I'm sure it's to drive web traffic in an age of SEO and AI summaries, but the rise in every website crafting teasing headlines while burying the key details deep in the article is making the internet even more frustrating to use than it already was.

Derrickson and @crobertcargill.bsky.social stressing me out with another movie. I just finished the Black Phone 2 and it is brilliant. From style to performances to narrative, it takes everything from the first movie and cranks the dial higher. So many thrills plus complexity and heart. I loved it.

Get Out
The Thing
Sinister
Sinners

I could debate this at length, but I'm happy with those four.
Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head.

I'll go first:
-Silence of the Lambs
-I Saw the Devil
-Coherence
-Jaws

It is incredible how much I spend on streaming services only for none of them to offer the movies I'm looking for.

Watching through the Evil Dead movies for the first time, and Ash really is not having a good time here.
