Same. I didn’t hate it.

The wide U.S. release of Walt Disney's PINOCCHIO happened today in 1940.

Criterion releasing K Pop Demon Hunters is a net benefit for everyone - those who like the movie will get a really good home release of it, those who don’t care about the movie will benefit from Criterion having a certified money maker that they can use to help fund more obscure/niche releases

There is no way Home Alone holds up if the mom role is one dimensional. O'Hara brought the emotional weight and urgency that magnified the danger Kevin was in. Without that counter-balance, it's a fun but hollow Looney Tunes cartoon instead a holiday classic.

Podcast prep! It's been a minute.

Do any of you know someone at Disney or ABC? Because I have a very important suggestion to make.
The Oscars are broadcast on ABC, owned by Disney.
The Muppets are also owned by Disney.
We need Miss Piggy on the Oscars red carpet.

‘SINNERS’ has broken history as the MOST-NOMINATED FILM OF ALL TIME at the Oscars with 16 nominations

Happy, happy birthday to my dear friend and Back To Bluey partner, @dwlundberg.bsky.social! So grateful for your thoughtful insight, generous heart, and our cherished friendship. Hoping you have a “warm hug” of a special day!

I saw 28 Days Later once decades ago.
I've seen (part of?) 28 Weeks Later.
I have not seen 28 Years Later.
Zombies are definitely not my thing.

HOWEVER, I've heard the positive buzz around The Bone Temple and am curious... Is it worth watching, even given my (lack of) history with this franchise?

The Monster Squad will return in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

New Back To Bluey for a New Year! In our latest episode, @crookedtable.bsky.social and I return for another Minisode Roundup. This time, we marvel at the elegant (and wordless) parallel stories of "Alongside," then give the littlest Heeler the standing ovation she deserves in "Drums." Link below!👇

I get that Knives Out had the novelty going for it, and Wake Up, Dead Man is thematically richest, etc. BUT I have realized I am very much a Glass Onion guy. Speaking of, now rewatching...
