I love @ebtgoku.bsky.social’s piece on Backrooms and the extended rumination on how it tacitly embodies AI psychosis despite being analog horror substack.com/@carolgrantr...

One of this year's actually fantastic horror movies HOKUM is getting a 4K release come August! Pre-order it here amzn.to/3PUf31i (and my review is down below)

Hey you. Yeah, you. HEATED RIVALRY's first season is getting a physical media release!! Pre-order it here: amzn.to/4e0l2JY

It's the last one you'd ever think'd need filling but for MNPP's 21st birthday we're filling in a Chris Evans hole

This is really not fair of you Billy Magnussen

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH (from Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung)

TAKE TWO WITH ‘TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH’ BRING IT ON BABY #newfest

OKAY (drumroll please) here are all of the NICHOLAS HOULT FOR 'THE FACE' photos that I have been able to dig up so far!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH (from Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung)

Twin Peaks 2x20, "The Path to the Black Lodge" (S. Gyllenhaal, 1991)

This is the point re: OBSESSION that keeps re-revving up my irritation about it. People keep outright dismissing said irritation as if we don't get what the movie is pretending, BUT FAILING, to do or be. It's not just an empty suit that thinks it's Versayce - it is ACTIVELY misogynistic

Every leak out of CBS is like “we had our introductory meeting with our new boss, the real guy Peter Capaldi’s character in Paddington is based on. Lesley Stahl told him he should kill himself and got a standing ovation.”

IDK how I got suckered into it at the time (I've learned this damn lesson before) but I'm officially never buying another limited edition anything from Amazon or Walmart after I just got dicked over on the 4K steelbook of SPEED RACER - only @diabolikdvd.bsky.social and @orbitdvd.bsky.social for me!

Even though I don't do "sports" every so often I feel the need to bring a "sport"-ist to your attention and with that I give you the Mexican soccer star Antonio Briseño Vazquez

I did not watch Euphoria but Sean's second point is the only banner any artist or critic should be waving

"Nikki isn't the villain in Obsession, Bear is." CORRECT! That does not, however, prevent the movie from treating her like a psycho girlfriend trope. The movie is playing to male anxieties while pretending to be a feminist text on "nice guys" trying to possesses women.

never rely on streaming services

I am officially old enough now to divide my life into several chapters of the "Here are the young straight white men who'll save cinema" saga

Surprised they've already dropped this given its word-of-mouth build but I suppose it'll be probably be done by July 16th -- pre-order OBSESSION on #physicalmedia at this link: amzn.to/43ryvWt Or read my review below and think better of how you want to spend your time and money, whatever

Listening to Oliver Coates’ PILLION score while standing in line for the new Gregg Araki movie (with Gregg Araki currently standing ten feet away from me no less) — this score is really beautiful though, I had forgotten

4K restoration of MYSTERIOUS SKIN at @ifccenter.bsky.social (with Gregg Araki and Brady Corbet Q&A after!) #nowwatching

I always think of what the smart and menschy director Arthur Penn told me about the early- and mid-'60s years just before everything changed when I interviewed him for Pictures at a Revolution: "It wasn't just that we were sick of the system. At that point, the system was sick of itself."

This is “Chris Evans in Flaunt” level gratuity as far as I’m concerned

It appears THE FACE magazine is relaunching but there's no website yet that I can find, much less a shop where I can buy this issue - I will tear the fabric of reality asunder to get my hands on a copy of this, I swear it to the heavens

All you need to know about this new blu-ray of KILLER PARTY is there is a commentary by the legend the icon the killer queen herself @finalgirlafterdark.bsky.social on it!!!!!

You've honestly got a lot of work living up to what Nia DaCosta did, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, but I am rooting for you

y'all I am dizzy

why you do this to me dimi

Brief ruminations on Backrooms

Yes piggies yes love your slop make love to your slop

He destroyed a wing of the White House. Every day or so that fact enters my mind and it still seems incredible that nobody lifted a finger.

Love Jean Smart, love Hannah Einbinder, but Hacks was such a hit-or-miss show episode to episode and even scene to scene. I think I groaned more than I laughed honestly, but those two fantastic actors did keep me coming back. I’ll miss them - just wish the show around them had been at their level

SACCHARINE filmmaker Natalie Erika James is in no hurry to make another film as personal as this: "It's not a part of myself that I've shown on screen before." Full interview here.

This movie will make you feel like changing the world is actually possible, I can't recommend it highly enough

Big Weekend Ahoy

I can just tell by the way that it's been lingering on and on in my brain that I am going to re-watch @bootsriley.bsky.social's I LOVE BOOSTERS a million fucking times once it gets its blu-ray release -- new comfort movie ahoy! (That said go see it in theaters, it's still in theaters y'all)

Screwed up the link yesterday! Here’s my Boots Riley profile, a splashy exposé of Oakland cocktail culture, Prince fanhood, Communism, surrealism, maximalism, non-medicated colonoscopies & the real reason Boots wears his hats: Boots Riley, Marx Brother www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Real good bit about the slippery slope of genAI use. A battle we're already fighting, especially against the C-suite.

Good fucking grief, Tribeca
