    I am very happy to announce The Kingcast, a project I’ve been cooking up with @ScottWamplerBMD for many months. We’re big @StephenKing dorks and so, it seems, are many filmmaker friends. Make sure to follow @Kingcast19 to be the first to know all the fun stuff we have in store!

    Josh Brolin went to an '80s themed birthday party as himself from Goonies and all is right in the world.

    For those going to see The Batman tonight, pay extra close attention to the way Matt Reeves filmed the big car chase set piece. For most of it he locks the camera to either the Batmobile or Penguin’s car…

    Stephen King’s IT made over $700m. Deadpool and Deadpool 2 made more money than the first two Captain America and Ant-Man movies. Can we please retire the myth that an R-rating automatically limits box office potential?

    Scott Wampler passed away today. He was my friend, co-host, and partner in crime. I’m still in shock. I don’t know many details, but I know it was sudden and he was with friends.

    Dan Stevens is just the best. We need to figure out why he’s not the biggest star of his generation because the dude has it all. He’s movie star handsome AND a big fucking weirdo, which is such a winning combination.

    Listen, Lily Gladstone is fantastic in Killers of the Flower Moon, but please refrain from under-valuing the flat out miracle performance Emma Stone gave in Poor Things. It’s a part that could have (and maybe should have) been a disaster, but turned out extraordinary.

    Ran into JJ Abrams on the Sony lot a couple months ago & he was saying nothing but nice things about Rian Johnson and TLJ. In fact, he said he viewed the set up for IX Johnson gave him as a big gift. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody not named Grace Randolph.

    Got tired of arguing with random Twitterers about their bad takes on The Last Jedi, so I wrote a very spoiler-heavy summary of the themes of the movie and why I love it so much. I'm not kidding about the spoilers, don't click if you haven't seen the movie! roosterteeth.com/post/51552869

    I just learned that pretty much every under-30 Twitterer thinks this gif is Zach Galifianakis nodding, not Robert Redford in Jeremiah Johnson. Someone hold me and tell me everything will be okay.

    Happy birthday, The Last Jedi. You rule, we clearly don’t deserve you, but thanks for being so thoughtful and truly understanding the subtext of the stories that have meant so much to me for so long.

    Just saw someone confidently assert that Glass Onion isn’t really a sequel to Knives Out because the only thing that connects the two is the same lead character/actor doing what he did in the first film: solve a mystery. Apparently if you’re a sequel now you must carry over plot.
