Miles Teller’s Tragic Year Is Ending in a Much Better Place
After the wildfire that upended his life, Miles Teller leans on family, SNL, and Eternity as he resets after his toughest year yet.

I’ve got a new profile on Miles Teller up at Collider! He was surprisingly open about everything he’s gone through this year — good and bad — and I greatly enjoyed talking to him about his new movie, Eternity, and much, much more.

A Mighty Wind is my favorite of the Christopher Guest mockumentary run. And, as was always the case, Catherine O'Hara is just incredible in it.

Always worth listening to this man when he has something important to say.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I can see that a movie fight I'm going to be having all year is me arguing that Doctor Strange 2 is a much more effective and fun and positively Raimi-esque Sam Raimi movie than Send Help is. (Which is the downright truth, sorry.)

A ★★★ review of Send Help (2026)
Fun little thriller bolstered by Sam Raimi's distinctive visual style. The "boar hunt" sequence rips. Rachel McAdams is quite good, although I honestly don't think the movie ever fully locks into her ...

Never mind the fact that Escape from L.A. is fantastic and one of Carpenter’s best-aging movies.
John Carpenter is 78.
He’s got zero tolerance for rude gits.

Good reminder that Iron Man 3 rules.
Marvel posted this clip on their YouTube today (obviously because of Wonder Man), and dang if in the year 2026 there are still people posting “worst reveal ever” about one of the best and funniest reveals.
