Dan Tractenberg just gets it. He nails the PREDATOR hat trick with another incredible movie that injects real character into one of the great movie monsters. Great action, beautifully visualized. Elle Fanning is fantastic. This franchise is riding high. #PredatorBadlands

The reason 2011's The Muppets movie worked is because Jason Segel had a passion for the characters, and I'm guessing this is a similar situation. Don't give your franchises to those you think will make you money. Give them to people who care, and they will make you money.

So my kid's elementary school has turned one of those Little Free Library structures into a small food pantry and moved it out in front of the school with a "Take what you need, Leave what you can" sign, in case you were curious how absolutely fucked we are.

Ok I opened up FORTNITE and WHAT THE HELL? What do I do with all this? What does any of it mean? Is there a tutorial that will explain how to, you know, PLAY any of this?

Alright, I've played through all of the Disneyland Game Rush and I honestly had a blast with it. That said, I would hang out all day in the finale hub world if the game let me

Space Mountain rail sliding to the Michael Giacchino score, is probably my favorite game. The ones that involve actual shooting I am (unsurprisingly) very bad at. Indiana Jones is my "Pod Racing in Star Tours" game, in that I get it all the time, but it's my least favorite

Look, I get it, everything out there is a nightmare. But the fact is, a lot of people have it worse, and a lot of them are the Cast Members we love. You don't have to do a lot, a little goes a long way.

Apparently, I can't carry the Hatbox Ghost on my back in any of the other game modes, and WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT THEN?!!?!?!

I had never played Fortnite before, but I gave it a try so I could play the new Disneyland game mode cinemablend.com/theme-parks/i-…

Chicken strips and fries is the meal I get at the airport bar before my flight because it's quick, fairly cheap, and not too messy, as I'm likely writing at the same time. I don't understand people who think it's actually food.

I've lived an hour away, in one direction or another, from Discovery Kingdom for as long as it has existed. I've never been. Early on, I was protesting the death of Marine World Africa USA. Now it's just a habit. Been meaning to go. Wonder if I'll make it before it dies, too

After this and SMASHING MACHINE doing poorly, every studio exec in Hollywood will decide on Monday Morning that people don't like movies where people fight each other.
