I'm working on a long form prose project I think for the first time since school, and it is working a completely different part of my brain than writing for screen or comics, very strange experience

Fresh from a VistaVision showing of OBAA: gorgeous images, big laughs, and performances with real weight (diCaprio's Bob will be everywhere on Halloween). Couldn’t shake Benicio del Toro’s Sensei run—easily the film’s peak for me.

Sinners is every bit as good as they say, one scene in particular is worth the price of admission — and if you can, see it in imax. I’ll be feeling this one for a while

Watching a US nba stream and the ads in America are insane. The number of sports betting and medical drug ads are out of this world
Also I’ve seen a number of ads for “patriotic” electric generators
I think it’s actively hurting my brain

I’ve been puzzling on the breakdown of the final 3 chapters of Kahlil for weeks. I knew the beginning and the end but had no clue what actually happened in it. And like a bolt of lightning it hit me now. That kind of revelation — It’s the best feeling there is

Say what will you will about Snyder’s take (and I don’t like it) but he at least tried something new (and got a killer soundtrack out of it). I much prefer an ambitious mess than a safe, uninteresting product every time.

Emblematic of that is the reuse of the Williams theme. It’s a great theme but it’s fifty years old. Can You make something new? Will You try? Or will you retread old ground because that’s what people are desperate for? Or you think they’re desperate for that.

It feels like it’s starting a universe, it’s colorful and silly and wow isn’t superman just a friend to everyone, he even saves cats from trees.
It’s a ‘product’ and it didn’t have to just be that

My main thing is it feels very unambitious. Why wouldn’t I just watch the Reeves films or read All Star Superman? This film just feels like those completely but shot in IMAX I suppose

I have a lot of annoying thoughts about the Superman trailer, being someone who wrote and illustrated a Superman comic that feels antithetical to the approach they’re taking
