Fight or Flight! The new Josh Hartnett movie is a bargain basement Bullet Train — and that’s not bad. I predict it comes and goes quietly in theaters, then becomes a streaming success and a streamer picks up sequel rights. Fun, gory, dumb — I’m here for it AND the Hartnett Renaissance.

Remember when we called butts "badonkadonks"? I miss that.

Thunderbolts, Assemble! It’s been a while since I could recommend a Marvel movie, but this one is finally worthwhile. Great characters. Well paced. Delightfully off-kilter. Stay thru the credits. I’m actually excited to see what’s next for a change. Like the old days!

PSA: If you ever fly into JFK from abroad -- do yourself a favor and sign up for Global Entry! The time from application to receiving your card is almost faster than waiting in the egregious normie immigration & customs line.

Feels like we’re one step away from the President of the United States dropping his OnlyFans link in a State of the Union. Not since SBF has there been a worse ambassador for crypto. https://thedefiant.io/news/markets/trump-memecoin-surges-60-after-unveiling-presidential-dinner-for-top-holders

In a world ruled by algorithms, “pop” is the only music genre. Discuss.

12% of people are polite to AI in case of a robot uprising. The rest of us are on Alexa’s shit list. https://www.techradar.com/computing/artificial-intelligence/chatgpt-spends-tens-of-millions-of-dollars-on-people-playing-please-and-thank-you-but-sam-altman-says-its-worth-it

AI being applied to classic films is controversial, but when you’ve seen The Wizard of OZ 1,000x already, and it still exists to watch 1,000x more, I see nothing wrong with adapting it into a Sphere experience. It could be far worse; they could insert a CGI Jabba the Hutt. https://apple.news/AaD9HfFp5TjuuYlFfFGuT0w

White Lotus season 3 has wrapped. Thoughts? Keep it spoiler free for a few days at least. Yes - it is the weakest season, but it was still the best thing on TV. Unlike 1 & 2, a couple of the storylines in 3 were a bust, but the ones that worked made up for it. The girls trip and Gaitok & Mook stories felt like filler.

Alright, nerds. Tron: Ares. How are we feeling? Optimistic? Cautiously optimistic? Pessimistic? As long as the digital de-aging of Jeff Bridges is better than last time, I’m willing to give it a shot. Cuz light cycles. https://youtu.be/9KVG_X_7Naw?si=3lLPekouyvoO2R5s

Movie Rec: The Amateur. I just caught an early screening. Rami Malek uses his nerd brain to exact revenge on international criminals, rather than his fists. A refreshing change of pace in a post John Wick world.

UX FAIL! All audiobook apps need to kill their slider. Does anyone actually slide forward or backward in audiobooks? Or, like me, is it always an accident that makes you lose your place in a 14 hour book? At least hide the thing so it isn’t on your phone’s Lock Screen. So dumb. So obvious.

So … CVS now has the $1.99 candy behind a locked door. A. Fuck CVS. B. Fuck shoplifters. C. Fuck this shitty world where even the tiniest pleasures become less accessible every day. Also, $1.99 is still too much. You should wait for the buy 2, get 1 free deal … and a guy in a red vest to show up to unlock the door.

Zoinks! Netflix has ordered a live-action Scooby Doo series from Berlanti Productions (Arrowverse, Riverdale). Does this scream “Ruh roh!” or is a Riverdale/Wednesday approach to Scooby over-Doo?

Death of a Unicorn is meh. I had high hopes based on the trailer, but was underwhelmed. It would be a good Netflix movie, but it’s not good compared to real movies. And yes — I’m also saying that Netflix movies are trash, with few exceptions. I expect it to be #1 on streaming after a very short theatrical run.
