Brian Duffield: For Good

To celebrate the release of @brianduffield.bsky.social’s Whalefall, I recorded a very entertaining episode of The Spiel where we nerd out about Minority Report! Listen to the podcast and then go see Austin Abrams navigate a surprising amount of whale sphincters at a theater near you!

I don't need to see WHALEFALL...

Showing the upper div class SHADOW OF A DOUBT tonight with a stop start commentary/Q&A after the break.

Damn read to filth at a bookstore.

I hope @sstpublications.bsky.social does a limited edition ANGEL DOWN but in the meantime they've got a few copies left of @danielkraus.com's incredible WHALEFALL. You betcha I ordered one! And? WHALEFALL the film, dir by @brianduffield.bsky.social opens Oct 16⭐ sstpublications.co.uk/d-kraus-whal...

Good morning! For @nytimes.com, I had the immense pleasure of talking to Baz Luhrmann and his collaborator Jonathan Redmond about how they combed through boxes of long-forgotten Elvis footage from a salt mine in Kansas to create their marvelous new documentary "EPiC." Gift link:

Please take the time to read this superb @jamellebouie.net column. It establishes a baseline of truth for anyone who wants to think, talk, and write honestly about Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

SEND HELP is a little like the Selina Kyle/CATWOMAN spinoff I've been longing for since BATMAN RETURNS... Just sayin.

*clears throat* 🚨 MYSTERY TEAM is out today on collector’s edition Blu-Ray with a new 30 min making of doc and remastered sound and picture 🚨

There are like 40 perfect examples of this exactly in TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, but the one that always gets me is at the very end when Nicholson takes Winger’s eldest son to see his swimming pool as a field trip away from her funeral 😭

Everything in the world is fucked BUT I remembered Blue Sky exists AMA

Aw, this is nice. Loved writing this piece on LIFEBOAT for Paste. It was previously a Hitchcock blind spot and I had a blast digging deep with it.

Here's something for @popheist.com about the evolution of Godzilla from the representation of nuclear trauma to helping sell beers.

When the party invite said “dressy.” Neat trick, Sky Man! Happy New Year, all!!

Delightfully bonkers that someone decided these two movies would make a good "comedian double feature."

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

Will always rt Morton praise.

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

Instead of peeling potatoes or watching bad football, read these nuggets of wisdom I put together from my chat with James Cameron. Happy Thanksgiving! puck.news/james-camero...

Thrilled for Screaming and Conjuring to be included in the @bloody-disgusting.com gift guide alongside books by @paultremblay.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @joe-hill.bsky.social @therealelvira.bsky.social and so many other wonderfully horrible folks. Thanks to @hauntedmeg.bsky.social

Going sicko mode (letting myself get excited for ELLA MCCAY)

nose down ass up that's the way we cyberstuck

Hey, movie directors - don't you want to be on this list, too? An Ongoing List of Directors Positively Acknowledging Visual Effects fxrant.blogspot.com/2023/02/a...

Took five hours almost to the minute for someone to drop the old "RETURN OF THE KING had too many endings!" chestnut, so here's a thing I wrote for Paste's film section (RIP) about that.

I have seen not one journalist ask Ethan Hawke this press tour about his defining role in the Duffield household, Batman. You’re all lazy and need to ask more questions about ETHAN HAWKE AS BATMAN.

This is sick. When I was a kid we didn't need to ask a robot where to find the knives, the search was part of the fun.

"From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible."

Always a good convo with Mike. Lots of Sliver (1993) content.

Once again, PEOPLE MAGAZINE is out here publishing headlines the papers of record will not.

when you get owned by the kid from Project X lmao

I read the Nuzzi excerpt in Vanity Fair, and there is something maddening about her choice to refer to RFK Jr. not by name but with mock coyness as "the Politician." It suggests that the chance to actualize some Carrie Bradshaw-meets-Big fantasy fueled all of this. Anyway, I don't need to know more.

Sadly, today's the day this is public: The Books section at Paste Magazine is no more. This is why I started asking around about potential review outlets over the weekend. I'm so proud of the work I did with horror books over there, and grateful to @lacymb.bsky.social for letting me run wild.

In the current landscape, you can get a great distribution and STILL have to raise $40K to cover archival. We're on the final push and any donation is entirely tax-deductible. Also, we will send you a cool Coroner-themed evidence kit! #filmsky

Antifa @screendrafts.bsky.social when

The average American millennial man thought it was awesome that Indiana Jones punched Nazis a lot.

BREAKING: guy i had no idea existed this morning and who is no longer relevant by end of day remains talk of the town

You should check out this new mini-series over at FORMERLY DANGEROUS. www.drewmcweeny.com/no-fate-but-...

Over the weekend, I kept asking myself "...did I hallucinate that the first Disney Channel original movie starred Diane Keaton??" - and as it turns out, I did not. I remember this vividly because Memaw + I watched the premiere together, this was quite An Event. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norther...
