It's so dumb that Warner Bros is performing well and it for some reason HAS to be sold because everything must get bigger and bigger to serve the stock market until there is only one company. deadline.com/2026/02/box-...
Rachel McAdams soaked in blood and brandishing a knife on a movie poster for SEND HELP.
SEND HELP has the aura of a classic Hitchcock thriller complete with stylish visual storytelling and attractive lead actors doing banter while likely plotting each other's demise. Yet it also has the distinct ickyness and slimyness of Sam Raimi. Somehow it works!
Movie poster showing Sam Rockwell wrapped in wires and surrounded by robots and other tech advertising Good Luck. Have Fun. Don't Die.
See this movie!

A lesser seen gem I caught in theaters some weeks ago. For the crowd who loves Carrie and Let The Right One In. It's a sort of icky male puberty film that also verges on body horror.
If you're looking to revisit some of Catherine O'Hara's legendary comedic performances, Netflix has added four of her Christopher Guest comedies in the US:
Waiting For Guffman
Best In Show
A Mighty Wind
For Your Consideration

Lady Gaga performing "Abracadabra" at 2026 Grammys.
I did indeed gasp a gay gasp at the camera panning down to catch her in the reflective stage floor.
Orange tabby cat sleeping in a pile of Squishables.
He really looks comfy.
Gay bear wirh dark brown floppy hair and a reddish brown beard and mustache.
In the sunlight, my beard hair and my head hair really appear to be two totally unrelated colors.
I think the goldfish roller coaster moment in this was my single biggest laugh in a theater last year.
Frazzled gay bear bundled up in Winter coat.
It's been so cold for so long here that I am starting to take it personally.
Laura Dern wearing blue velvet to talk at a screening of Inland Empire tonight in London for what would've been David Lynch's 80th birthday fully got me tearing up...
Me, a large gay bear in plaid, with a gray streak in my hair.
Going especially gray lately.

Dear students: Kevin is making your syllabus. All bets are off. The final paper must be about tuna.
Happy gazing smile
Evidently, this is how I look at my cat Kevin when he's being cute. (reversed camera)

Probably "Saturday Night" and "Trouble." And on vinyl they are each the last song on their respective side. So they serve as triumphant finales.
This is one of my new favorite Gaga things. And it's been quite a good year.

Natalia Kills, Trouble on pink splatter vinyl from Graffiti Records.
Gifted myself the new vinyl release of one of the best pop albums of the 2010s!
Sugourney Weaver in floral print dress seated next t9 a grisled Mads Mikkelsen and a young girl resembling snow white with a red bow in her hair.
Dust Bunny is a joyous work of genre miscellany, part John Wick part Pan's Labyrinth. Bryan Fuller does the absolute most with production design and costuming.
Love this one!
