Maybe it’s me, but it really feels like Arrow’s art for THIEF is getting ripped off for the NOW YOU SEE ME, NOW YOU DON’T steelbook.

In 1997, I saw ALIEN: RESURRECTION over Thanksgiving break when I was in 7th grade and had to complete an assignment about it for school. My mom saved it and sent it to me a couple of years ago. I fully stand by these words.

I have been saying this a lot in 2025, but this is one of the best weeks of the year for new disc arrivals. Just an embarrassment of riches (again).

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

Early in this conversation, Marty asked Jafar about the genesis of his interest in cinema, to which Jafar spoke about his search for God. He then said, “I didn’t find God in the skies, I found God in images” which is the most resonant, beautiful, description of cinephilia I’ve ever heard.

This CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN set from Hammer is ridiculous. Six discs, 900+ minutes of material and two books.

Huge thanks to @variety.com for including me on the 2025 Horror Impact Report. I’ll be pinching myself for a long time over being here with so many incredible people, including being directly under the King himself.

Ken Jacobs was the first experimental filmmaker whose work I understood. Not necessarily because the work itself was more accessible but because he presented it as something that was for everyone and could be made by anyone. He, in various ways, democratized the avant garde in a way nobody else had.

What are we even doing here? At best, this is some sort of misguided Saul Bass homage and at worst, well, it can’t get much worse.
