And the new Star Wars movie is down to #3 in box office, in its second week in theaters.

A lot of folks in Hollywood working with franchises are likely a little nervous right now.

Young, untested directors with fresh ideas making a lot of money with horror. That's fantastic.

I mean...good. Superhero fatigue might be more like franchise or sequel fatigue. People want something new and fresh instead of endless rehashing.

I saw The Backrooms last Friday afternoon with my brother. Surreal and bizarre.

Parking garages for malls that have gone out of business, speaking from personal experience, especially given how echoey they are. Was that a rat several floors away? Is someone on this floor with me? And why did I think parking here to avoid fees on the street was a good idea, given how late I'd be coming back to my car?
