"Why don't visual effects look as good as they did in 2000s movies?" takes have to ignore how consistently fantastic the last four Planet of the Apes movies have looked...and on relatively thrifty budgets compared to equivalent films, too.

The list of horror movies that have been nominated for Best Picture is INCREDIBLY small, and I honestly never expected that a movie as downright body-horror-bonkers as THE SUBSTANCE would actually get that nomination. Congrats to Coralie Fargeat and the whole team. This is HUGE.

As Evil comes to an end this week, I wrote about the series' evolution from solid CBS procedural to unflinchingly weird streaming delight: https://t.co/uZ25ahyoit

I watched Peter Jackson's KING KONG for the first time in years and it's one of the most gluttonously indulgent spectacles ever put to the screen, the highs and lows of Jackson's horror-adventure filmmaking captured in one movie. It can be a struggle, but I mostly love this thing

Succession was a television show. Now it is over.

[The Problem With Jon Stewart @TheProblem]

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.

Jon interviewed Leslie Rutledge, Arkansas Attorney General, about why her state banned gender-affirming care for minors - ignoring the guidelines of major medical organizations and taking the decision out of parents’ hands. Watch the full interview on @AppleTVPlus

[Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes @ApesMovies]

A new saga begins.

“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” picking up many years after “War for the Planet of the Apes,” starts production next month and stars Owen Teague, Freya Allen, and Peter Macon. Directed by Wes Ball, “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” arrives in 2024.

I used to drink tons of Diet Coke but it’s been one month since I’ve had a drop.

I want to share some of the changes I’ve observed in myself over that time:

- My health is unchanged
- I’m less happy
- My one source of joy is gone

Thanks for encouraging me on this journey!
