In a pair of star performances, Keke Palmer and SZA rule in #OneOfThemDays, a fast-talking day-in-the-life-of-the-hood comedy made with a '90s verve. bit.ly/3Wn9B6X

the most important question goes unanswered in the Owen Gleiberman review of One of them Days. He liked the movie, so that elevates it on my viewing list for the weekend. But what did he think of the new plush rocker seats at the Lincoln Square? The plush rockers???

and here's a link to the actual review with not a single word about the plush rockers that the AMC Lincoln Square received for its 30th birthday present

If I didn’t have a day job my entire January would be over Film Forum . A rep series of AI movies, one great movie after another. Total T2 Recall and Star Wars and Westworld and Videodrome and Demon Seed and Zardoz and one temptation after another.

Might just be the best action fantasy I have come across in a forty year career. I asked Patrick Fitzgerald for not just great action sequences from a quartet of archetypal heroes but worldbuilding like it’s a great epic fantasy, and that’s what he delivered. Pub date TBD…

Here's a line from my pitch letter to editors for Patrick Fitzgerald NAVIGATORS YOU CAN TRUST: "this is to typical action fantasy what Raiders of the Lost Ark is to to Saturday morning cliffhangers" So excited to have this debut novel sale announced this week.

The Patrick Fitzgerald deal announced this week. The Tim Chawaga in the fall. Another debut novel in the announcement pipeline, another debut novel going to acquisitions as of Friday which is always a fingers crossed randomness. Minimum three and maybe four debut novels…

friendly reminder - I am posting business oriented stuff both places but the less business oriented only on BSky

Coming up soon - I'm on the program Boskone News in ten days, with two panels and a Kaffeeklatsch. Hope to see some of you there. And often in the hotel bar in the evening for the BarCon part of the convention. Many clients have I found at Boskone schedule.boskone.org/people/10393

We're still talking about the exact day but it's looking like May 2026 for publication of Patrick Fitzgerald Navigators You Can Trust. Such a great adventure fantasy. Can't publish soon enough!

I mostly agree with that, Bilge. It's a major problem. But I don't think it's THE problem.
