Thank you Peter Thiel! You tagged team with #HulkHogan and bankrupted Gawker, a notable pop culture contribution. Buzzfeed, Gawker etc. these sites are trash with wet garbage "writing." I'm so thankful to both for your service. Hogan's Rocky III cameo remains a delight. #RIP

This week at #SDCC2025 Hall H gets The Long Walk (opens September 12, 2025) and next door to the Hall, IT: Welcome to Derry (October 2025). Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is King-baseball, it's just an okay novel. Not amazing not terrible. So for this? Eh, show me a trailer.

Yes! I agree with @OKComics: pick up #JeffLemire's memoir 10,000 Ink Stains. Towards the end of the book there's an inspiring PSA for the kids: pick up your pencils and make comics. I hope that message sparks so much creativity. cc: @DarkHorseComics #SDCC2025

With #SDCC2025 this week featuring all that nice nerd-TV, Michael Hirsh, author of Animation Nation shares a #Batman story. Right before 1989 Batman? Fox passed on a Batman cartoon. They figured nobody knows who "Bat-Man" is...hah. mysummerlair.com/podcast/michae…

#Galactus invading #Toronto is a fatal movie: even cosmic beings can't escape the Gardiner. #RimShot #FantasticFour
Canada...Galactus is coming. Marvel Studios’ #TheFantasticFour: First Steps arrives in theatres this Friday. Get tickets now!
A #PantsWorthy #SDCC2025 Recommendation: The Special Guests list is impressive: Chip Kidd to Jim Lee! Recently we lost Jim Shooter & Peter David. This ain't guilt. I's a recognition you have a window of time to truly communicate to these creators you value their dynamic work.

Last year #JamesGunn rightly promised the #DCU will not focus on the origin stories: “I’m not telling Batman and Superman’s origin stories again because everyone knows them.” Gunn is right. So applying that logic what does Guillermo del Toro's #Frankenstein offer at #TIFF50?!
#TIFF50 North American Premiere: ⚡ FRANKENSTEIN dir. Guillermo del Toro
More #TIFF50 CanCon: #Degrassi: Whatever It Takes joins the John Candy doc. The #Degrassi doc is directed by #LisaRideout, who killed it with her @sexwithsuefilm. (She's 1 more doc away from a Canadian trilogy.) So? How much Drake and how Kevin Smith should viewers expect??
#TIFF50 World Premiere: 🏫 DEGRASSI: WHATEVER IT TAKES dir. Lisa Rideout
This week’s TV Recommendations range from a Holy War to a Code of Silence. And Happy Gilmore is back…with a (golf) range like that it can only be #SetTheVCR. Check out this week's #couchworthy finds ⬇️ mysummerlair.com/setthevcr/sett…
Oh, like Grunge...#LilithFair was a whole you hadda be there era. It'll be fascinating to put that whole scene into historical context. Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery follows recent old school focused docs like CNN's Live Aid and LL Cool J's Hip Hop Was Born Here. #TIFF50
The World Premiere of Ally Pankiw’s LILITH FAIR: BUILDING A MYSTERY — an Elevation Pictures Production — features Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlisle, Erykah Badu, Bonnie Raitt, Jewel, and Olivia Rodrigo and will screen in the Gala programme at #TIFF50.
By writing a novel #WoodyAllen joins Tom Hanks, Ethan Hawke, Tarantino & other famous folks who pen fiction. Woody is a fantastic writer; I'm 100% IN for What's with Baum? when it drops on Sept 23, 2025. Do check out Apropos of Nothing his 2020 memoir. Solid book. #NewBookSmell
.@_SwiftPress is set to publish What’s With Baum?, a debut novel by Woody Allen about a middle-aged Jewish novelist bookbrunch.co.uk/page/article-d… (£)
