I think one thing the cinemas are learning is how to get MORE money from the people who frequent the cinema most. My favorite cinema has an excellent bar and bartender (his name is Peter!). They serve meals and have some theaters with tables that offer full service. They show concerts. They show operas. They show classic films. I probably spend $100/month at the cinema, and only 25% of that total is on actual tickets.

‘Sesame Street’ never belonged on Max. I’m glad this experiment of extracting profits from belovéd children’s programs failed.

I went to the cinema tonight to see ‘Heretic’ (Hugh Grant was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance) AND guess what? COINBASE WAS ADVERTISING IN THE PREVIEWS!?! In previous years, that would be a top signal, but with all the new legislation likely to appear in the U.S. in the coming months, I don’t think that’s the case now.

Variety has released a short list of the worst films of 2024. I haven’t seen any of them! (To be honest, I haven’t seen half of the BEST films, either). The closest I came was seeing the first cut of ‘Rebel Moon’; the director’s cut made this worst list (come to think of it, I think the original ‘Rebel Moon’ was released in 2023).

I thought last week’s finale of ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ hit a perfect tone. It’s good to see a show go out on top and not overstay its welcome. I’ve actually started a rewatch of Season 1, one episode per evening.

The Transformers Missing Link series is such a great development. I’ve ordered the Bumblebee and Cliffjumper figures as a Christmas gift to myself. The latest announcement is the preorder availability of Sunstreaker and Cordon figures. The Cordon is a collector’s dream come true.

A truly HUMAN experience of life means moments of solitude and solemnity. We didn’t evolve to be in constant emotional turmoil, contact, and conflict. These technologies exploit this evolutionary blind spot. Others are profiting from the destruction of your own human experience, the rarest experience we know to exist.

It’s that kind of Saturday in December, says Fritz. Time to take a nap near the fireplace.

A sequel to 'Barbie' is in the works, a development that surely surprises no-one after the film earned $1.4 billion worldwide. Let's just hope the story they've written truly does merit the effort.

Esquire magazine has named Wild Turkey Distillery's 'Russell’s Reserve 15' as its top bourbon of 2024, and as a native and resident of Kentucky (where all true bourbons originate), I care about that. A bottle of this Russell's Reserve 15 will set a person back for $250, retail, but I suspect, if you can find a bottle, you'll be paying closer to $500. Taking the second spot was the 'Four Roses 2024 Limited Edition Small Batch,' retailing for $220.

Good news! With the release next year of ‘28 Years Later’, the original ‘28 Days Later’ is being released on digital! I had no idea the original film had been so difficult to find for so long. I remember watching ‘28 Days Later’ in the cinema when I was living in Glasgow, Scotland in 2002z It was a thrilling and revolutionary zombie experience!

Yay! They will be showing 'The Brutalist' in IMAX in the U.S. in January. I will, however, be seeing it in December on the regular silver screen in two weeks, but will most definitely be seeing it again in IMAX.

These scientists propose that life could in fact evolve to survive the vacuum and temperatures of space.

Glad to see this film’s rerelease doing so well at the box office. I will admit there are moments in this movie when I roll my eyes (e.g., “Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.”), but it’s such a fun experience on the big screen (especially IMAX).

Sadly, I probably won’t be able to see this film in the theater until January. DECEMBER IS ALREADY ON-THIRD GONE, PEOPLE. It’s crazy how time flies. I don’t have ANY time to see films this week, and probably won’t next week. The holidays make everything so hectic!

Thank you, @phaverapp — I would have never used MagicEden unless Phaver had forced me onto it! 😄

Most of my earbud use these days is on my commute to and from work. Obviously, as I’m driving, I only use one earbud, for situational awareness. What I principally listen to is podcasts, so ‘sound quality’ isn’t really an issue. So, I’m not really convinced that I need to introduce ‘open earbuds’ into my life.
