Saddened to read the news about Rob Reiner. His directing output during the '80s and into the '90s was remarkable, with When Harry Met Sally, Misery and Princess Bride as particular highlights, as was his work with Castle Rock and anti-smoking advocacy.

The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles short "Chrome Alone 2 – Lost in New Jersey" is hilarious. It's a clever seven minute mockery of Gen AI, while also delivering a fun Turtles adventure. Didn't expect one of the best satires this year to be a TMNT cartoon.

I've always loved the first cue in the movie that plays over the opening logo.
I especially like how this sentence right after the logo matches perfectly with the music. I wonder if John Debney did that on purpose or it's only my brain that sees that.

"Variety says Paramount wants to buy Warner Bros."
"The billionaire nepo baby?"
"That's right, Dot. Wait, no. Seems Netflix is buying the studio."
"The Stranger Things people?"
"Yes, Wakko. But now Paramount is bidding higher."
"It's going to be a long year."

Wanted to give a FYC to two "Sinners" actors, who I think deliver excellent work and would be deserving of some recognition this awards season: Delroy Lindo and Hailee Steinfeld

Just realised if Leonardo DiCaprio wins an Oscar for "One Battle for Another", who might give it to him.

Watched the new "Prep & Landing" special, which was a nice catch-up with these characters and had its amusing moments, although I preferred the first storyline with the seal over the second one on the island.

A lot of people celebrating "Toy Story" and its impact today and one thing I will never forget about seeing the movie on original release is the opening logo. Seeing the familiar Disney castle rendered like this blew me away.

Wait, did Marty McFly go back in time and cause "Back to the Future" to be made by Disney instead of Universal?

I've now seen 10 movies with Woody Harrelson in 2025, although four are "The Hunger Games", two are "Now You See Me" and two were released this year.

Can't believe in less than a week, Family Channel will be off the air. Even though I haven't regularly tuned in in ages and it's mostly sitcom reruns now, it's sad to see a channel I watched so much in my younger years go away.

Annie Hall is one of the all-time greatest comedic roles and that's largely thanks to Diane Keaton, who brought such a perfect delivery to her iconic lines. Also wonderful in Reds, the Godfather trilogy, Father of the Bride and so much else. What a legend.

I don't know why letterboxd doesn't have a picture up for Rod Daniel. The director of "Teen Wolf" and "Alley Cats Strike" doesn't deserve this disrespect.

Shockingly not the first owner of an unhealthy snack company who had aspirations of opening a theme park.

Reminder that a few years ago, a Disney movie had a villain who was a paranoid dictator who thought everyone should grovel at his feet, got angry at any criticism of his policies and tried to shut down anyone who opposed him.

Wow, the "Lilo & Stitch" remake is trying so hard to claw its way to beating "A Minecraft Movie" as the #1 domestic film of the year.
Though I think "Avatar: Fire and Ash" and "Wicked: For Good" will top both. Maybe "Zootopia 2" if it pulls an "Inside Out 2"

"Oh, wow. Thanks for watching six of my movies this year. Yeah, that's really nice. I know four of those are because of Wes and one was just a cameo, but I still appreciate the support." - Owen Wilson, I assume.

Of the six movies with Jack Quaid I've seen this year, three are 2025 releases. He's one busy nepo baby.

Pete Docter also said in an interview how much he loved "Across the Spider-Verse" and even said in that response that he doesn't view other studios and art styles as competition.
The director of "Elemental" even literally has a voice role in "Across the Spider-Verse"!

Grok, what can you tell me about Winston Churchill?
"Agh! Churchill! With his cigars and his brandy and his rotten paintings! Rotten! Hitler, there was a painter. He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon. Two coats."

If you decided to watch "Lilo & Stitch" and "How to Train Your Dragon" before or after watching their recent blockbuster remakes, then you have also seen at least three Dean DeBlois and two Chris Sanders movies this year.
