I am so thrilled by today’s big IndieWire news and cannot wait to start working alongside the great Brent Lang, a journalist who I immensely respect (and a person I hugely like). www.indiewire.com/news/breakin...
IndieWire Names Brent Lang Editor-in-Chief, as Longtime Leader Dana Harris-Bridson DepartsHarris-Bridson will exit in early August, with Lang, the current Executive Editor of Variety, stepping into the role later that month.www.indiewire.comOf course I got personal about Penny Lane's wonderful Flaco the owl documentary WILD INSIDE: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...
‘Wild Inside’ Review: Flaco the Owl Can Still Change Your Life (and Maybe the World)Penny Lane's loving, tender documentary 'Wild Inside' about the celebrity owl Flaco is a film this writer can only take entirely personally.www.indiewire.comNo, no, really. Truly. And it's even weirder than that.
Mike RyanAt Comic-Con Kevin Feige was asked about Doctor Doom’s rollout into the MCU compared to Thanos. In his answer he blamed me personally. This is, somehow, a true statement. Also, he makes a really great point

“Take Pig, take Bear” is an instant personal lexicon add for me.
Rob Wesley"Hahaha, Kermit, that's hilarious, that really is. But have you seen The Odyssey yet? You really should. Take the whole gang, take Pig, take Bear. If you can see it in IMAX 70mm, you should, but anyway you see it, it's a great time at the theater."
This also includes an introduction involving party chatter with Keanu Reeves. Mike -- kindly, respectfully -- does not mention that the "interactive JOHN WICK 2 experience" happening was really "a slightly drunk Kate attempts JOHN WICK VR video game in a room full of strangers."
Mike RyanThe year INTERSTELLAR came out I was told by a publicist at a studio holiday party, “you need to meet Chris” (Christopher Nolan). I did not want to do this because these interactions are usually awkward and terrible. I did “meet Chris,” here is that story…
Feeling anguished about... well, everything? Hey, me too! But here's something you might consider doing to help out with one current crisis: BLOOD. www.nybc.org/news-events/...
