We saw Wuthering Heights on Valentine’s Day. Intimate, stylistic take leaning into the messy human relationship at its core. Robbie and Elordi mesmerize as deeply flawed people in dysfunction. Modern without breaking the period. Nails the danger of pride and miscommunication.

Finished The Dog Stars by Peter Heller. Loved the spare, meditative survival tone—but the late shift into sexually explicit intimacy felt jarring. Furthermore, certain losses hit harder post-pandemic. Still, some genuinely thrilling moments. A mixed read for me, but worthwhile.

LOVED F1 and kicking myself I didn't see it in IMAX. Though probably 30 minutes too long, the racing scenes were phenomenal and helped me realize it's a far more complicated sport than I thought. Started watching Drive To Survive as a result and plan to follow Formula 1 now.

Enjoyed One Battle After Another far more than I expected. Very fast moving movie considering the run time. Wonderful mix of humor, action, drama, as well as social and political commentary. Worth a watch.

I found Nobody Move by Denis Johnson a quick, simple read with a propulsive plot. But this crime thriller ended rather abruptly for me in such a way that proved dissatisfying. Perhaps that's the lesson of the book--that there are no tidy endings to crime ... or maybe even life.

If you’re drawn to stories about power, belief, and the cost of order—this series was written with you in mind.

FINALLY saw Weapons. The hype is real. Not at all what I expected. Excellent narrative structure. Deeply flawed, relatable characters. And Aunt Gladys proved an instant icon. If you can tolerate a bit of gore and horror with your mystery, I highly recommend.

There’s no single right way into this series. Start where you’re interested. The story will meet you there. scottwilliamfoley.com

Listened to Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M. Valente. Once the main characters became clear, the book lost its appeal for me. Nonetheless, I thought it had powerful things to say about the male/female dynamic and how deeply presumed gender roles may be embedded within us.

Book Three is where lines are crossed deliberately. Not in anger. Not in chaos. But with calm conviction that the outcome justifies the act.

Book Two is where the story stops feeling theoretical. The room to maneuver gets smaller. Every decision starts closing doors instead of opening them.

When Book One begins, neither the characters nor the reader have any sense of what’s coming. The choices feel small. The stakes feel manageable. In hindsight, everything that follows is already set in motion.

Found this 3D model for free at Cults3D. Printed and painted it myself, then gave it to a friend who loves Superman. For people of a certain era, Christopher Reeve will always be the Man of Steel.

This series has always been a slow burn. These books track a shift—from heroism, to justification, to control. Book Four is where those ideas begin to collide.

One thing I try to be consistent about with this series: I don’t write cliffhangers for the sake of momentum. This is a six-book story moving toward a final conclusion, and each book earns its ending—even when that ending complicates everything.

Recently discovered Darksiders. In keeping with my character, started with III and then played II. They focus on a specific Horseman of the Apocalypse battling angels, demons, and everything in-between. I love the open world, the epic mythology, and the fantasy/sci-fi mix.

Book Four isn’t about escalation. It’s about consequence. When control feels safer than freedom, who gets to decide where the line is?
