Snow Burrow @bostonjerry.bsky.social - 3h The Ellison family bought Paramount in August 2025 and two months later they greenlit this movie trying to find a "gray area” with SCROOGE on the premise "what if the most famous rich asshole character in the history of modern mass media was right all along?" You really can't make this stuff up.

Watched "The Full Monty" last night (h/t @meganL ), ha!

So, I don't know if I've talked about Monthly Movie Night on here before.

Way back in 2014 my wife and I had an idea to watch all the Best Picture Academy Award winning movies, in order, from 1927's "Wings" up to the present-day. We would watch one per month, which , if everything went smoothly, would have us catching up the the present day after a few years.

The family got word of the idea and liked it, so we invited them all to come over. We have a big family, and they're almost all locals. So every month we've been hosting about 15-20 people, to watch a classic movie.

We do themed food. (for instance, this month is a western, so we're having chili)

We have a popcorn machine. (a real, full-sized one)

We do movie trivia (with the night's winner, second, and third place receiving the movie candy boxes of their choice, respectively. The cumulative trivia winner for the year gets to pick the New Year's Eve movie. (Yes, we do Movie Night on New Year's Eve every year)

Before the movie, we run a cartoon that matches the theme of the movie. And then we run a trailer for the next month's movie. And then... roll film!

After the movie, we go out and sit around the fire pit, listen to music, and chat until midnight-ish.

Well, 12 years later, we're still going strong.

We've celebrated announcing our first pregnancy at movie night. We celebrated announcing our 2nd kid at movie night. Our youngest is now 7, and our oldest is now 11. To them, a monthly movie night is just a given - "doesn't everyone do a movie night?"

The audience has also grown older. My wife's grandma has come to almost every movie night, and she's now 97 years young and still going strong. She's a hoot. She can't remember anything you just said to her just a minute ago, but she can recount some of the craziest stories from her past. Stories about each of the aunts and uncles that come to movie night, and who are now also in their late 60's/70's.

The goal of watching all the Oscar winners stayed as true as we could make it.

For some movies, they were just not great for a mixed audience, so we skipped those and went with the biggest Blockbuster of that year. When both were no-go's, we picked another fun one from that year.

For Halloween, we always pick a classic. This year we're going with Edwards Scissorhands (even though that's obviously a Christmas movie)

But my kids really want to see it, and they think it's creepy and should be a halloween movie... anyway...

Inevitably, the Oscar winners became too heavy (our last Oscar movie was The Artist, which was fitting, as we both started this journey with a silent film and ended it with a silent film.) so we now have a "fishbowl".

The "fishbowl" contains slips of paper, upon which guests have written either their favorite movie, or a movie they think everyone would enjoy together and might not have seen before.

Tonight, we're watching Stagecoach (1939) - John Wayne's first big hit.

I just love the poster.

Anyway, that's Movie Night. A right-honourable tradition that I hope never ends.

Movie poster for the 1939 film Stagecoach. I'm going to use Claude to describe it for you because honestly, this is one of only a few legitimate use cases for AI: This is the classic 1939 poster for "Stagecoach," directed by John Ford. The image is dominated by a dramatic nighttime scene: a stagecoach pulled by a team of four galloping horses races diagonally across the poster from the upper right toward the lower left, kicking up dust on a dirt road. The horses are rendered in cool blue-gray tones, straining forward with harnesses and reins visible. Two figures sit atop the coach — one appears to be cracking a whip — painted in warm orange and gold tones that stand out sharply against the cool blue palette of the rest of the scene. Behind them, a jagged mountain range rises under a deep blue night sky, its peaks catching a warm orange glow as if lit by sunset or firelight. At the top of the poster, in white hand-written lettering, text reads: "A Powerful Story of 9 Strange People." Across the lower half of the poster, the title "STAGECOACH" is spelled out in large, bold, slanted yellow sans-serif all-caps letters that follow the same diagonal angle as the racing coach, giving the whole composition a sense of forward motion and speed. Below the title, in white text, are the production credits: "A Walter Wanger Production" "Directed by John Ford" "with Claire Trevor · John Wayne · Andy Devine" "John Carradine · Thomas Mitchell · Louise Platt · George Bancroft" "Donald Meek · Berton Churchill · Tim Holt" "Released Thru United Artists" The overall color scheme is mostly deep blues and blacks, with the bright yellow title and warm orange highlights creating striking contrast.

Fake Dating Goes Mainstream in LOVE HYPOTHESIS Trailer

Since I was a little boy, every time I see a movie or TV show in which a spurned lover decides to work to get back the [girl/boy], I cringe. I want to yell at the screen (and I sometimes mutter under my breath), "They made their choice. They have expressed their preference. Nothing good can come of this." They need to go have a night out with a friend or watch bad TV or whatever.

None doubt his commitment

It begins with The Philosophy Of Time Travel, an 800-page piece of found-document fiction set 14 months after the film’s conclusion. [Richard] Kelly spent a decade writing the book, which lands in bookstores this fall for the film’s 25th anniversary. Kelly hopes the book will be the first part of a Donnie Darko sequel series, including an animated adaptation of Time Travel that features some motion capture. The story would then move on to a new live-action film set 28 years after the original.

Donnie Darko gets 800-page sequel book for anyone still wondering how time travel worked in that movie – AV Club

Does your favorite genre change depending on the medium it's in?

I ask because, for instance, horror is my fave movie / TV genre, I find it an okay game genre, and I don't like horror books much at all.

Fantasy is my fave video game genre, and probably books too, but I don't tend to care for fantasy movies/TV.

I just came from #SpiderManBrandNewDay, and I *really* liked it.

But the #PopCultureHappyHour people didn't, and I wonder if it's because I'm steeped in comic-book lore and they're (mostly) not?

Finally got a chance to watch BACKROOMS. I'd never seen the web series Kane Parsons did, but the movie works as a solo piece. Set in a furniture store in 1990, it's weird AF and felt like a communal bad dream. Worth watching for the crazy sets alone. Art Department must have had a blast making this film!

*Of course* the nerds restoring original Star Wars from film to spite the special edition have spent over $16,000 of their own money buying reels, having them professionally cleaned, professionally digitised (scanned at 100MB per frame), and then on the storage needed to allow editing of such a huge amount of data. And of course that's going to be nothing compared to the amount of personal love and labour put into such a project.

I'm kinda in awe, and I *love* that people do this.

2 nonfiction trade paperback books, free commercial hardcover books of fiction, a couple of classic fiction hardcover books, and a bunch of science fiction hardcover books including four short story collections. This is looked down on from above, in a box so you can see the spines. And these are all from the community book event I went to today, so they were all free! I also donated a box of books about the same size as what I took home.

#UnpopularOpinion, and one I struggle to admit: I think the 2012 remake of Total Recall is better than the 1990 original. I still really like the original, but the 2012 version knocks it out of the park.

Ray Bradbury Day 🎂

En 1984, el célebre diseñador Saul Bass y su esposa Elaine Bass estrenaron “Quest”, un corto de 30 minutos de ci-fi distópica con guion de Ray Bradbury, visualmente imponente y con la curiosidad de estar protagonizado por Noah Hathaway, 'Atreyu' en “La historia interminable”, estrenada ese mismo año.
