The Odyssey (2026) Seeing this in IMAX was one of my great film experiences of the past few years. I have quite a few thoughts on it but will say this is director Christopher Nolan taking these materials and saying something else about them, breathing new life into them, and that's great. #Filmsky 📽️

I just want to give a shout out to these guys serving tacos at the minor league baseball game here in Omaha today who were just doin’ their thing.

Thing I Am a Grump About #436: One person yelling “Deeeooo!” And everyone else yelling “DEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOO!!!!” is fun and humorous in the context of a scene in the film Beetlejuice and in exactly zero other contexts.

I’m at Werner Park here in Omaha to see the local Storm Chasers take on the St Paul Saints. The stadium is literally in a cornfield and the scoreboard is too small to show the lineups apparently but the players are good, I have a hot dog, and am right behind home plate for basically nothing.

Flying to Omaha for work today. There is supposed to be someone in the middle seat in our row and they sat in the row behind us by mistake. They all told the flight attendant that it was fine. “Are you sure?” “YES, JUST TAKE US TO OMAHA, LET’S GO.”

If you like professional wrestling, great, go for it. I have one request which is that it not be covered by sports news media as if it is actually sports, as is happening on the SportsCenter being shown in this airport bar. If someone knows the outcome beforehand, it ceases to be sports, sorry.

Earlier this month I enjoyed doing 10 Movies About America, and I'm thinking of making this kind of thing ("10 Movies About...") a regular feature. But which subject to tackle for August is less obvious. I'm open to suggestions! I'll do serious or silly, and probably will. #Filmsky 📽️

After Dark, My Sweet (1990) A kind of weird neonoir involving a bunch of people who have been dealt some bad hands trying to do a kidnapping without any real end game. This was from our "Movies That F***" list and there is some boinking but I don't know how sexy it actually was. #Filmsky 📽️

For a Few Dollars More (1965) Eastwood returns as the Guy in a Poncho With No Social Skills for his second spaghetti western team up with director Sergio Leone. This time, Lee van Cleef appears as a guy who mostly messes with Clint Eastwood, which is fine with me. #Filmsky 📽️

Arco (2025) A very enjoyable French animation aimed at kids but with adult thoughts in its head. A boy from an idyllic 2900 ends up back in time in 2075 where he is helped by a little girl. In 2075 the robots have all the jobs and there are giant wildfires and storms all the time. #Filmsky 📽️

Important news update

HELL IS REAL

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) Werner Herzog directs Nicolas Cage. If that doesn't get you in the door, you'd probably hate this, but if it does, you may have a great time. Here Cage plays a character who is hallucinating and on crack, so he's kind of his usual self. #Filmsky 📽️

I am in the 3rd row to see the Odyssey in IMAX and I am ready. This feels like a different proposition with reclining seats than it was that time we got to Superman Returns late and had to sit in the 1st row for IMAX and I was left unable to describe the plot of the movie afterwards. #filmsky 📽️

My vote is Alain Delon in Purple Noon.
