1 like = 1 grievance. let's get into it

I know I’m not the first person to say it but the hyper commercialization of the Grinch story is pretty sad and a perfect illustration of the ability of capital to absorb critiques painlessly

next essay i am going to be abusing the fuck out of this soundbite

haven’t done this in a while. i got a couple hours let’s party ngl.link/infinitesnow...

i try not to be some kind of adaptation cop but i love how the fallout s2 premiere gives us a really great bit of house characterization (house hires a body double) which it then immediately undermines by sending him to a working class bar with no backup to try out his weird new doohickey

[transylvania, police interrogation room] COP: you stabbed Dimitri in the heart… with a… VILLAGER: with a stake, yes COP: and he died… meaning he was… VILLAGER: was a dracula COP: was a dracula POLICE CAPTAIN *nodding*: was a dracula

i think all of the cast is really good - one of the great things about the series is that they’ve used the slower pace to actually give every character some amount of room to breathe and develop, so as we go into the endgame it feels like i know who everyone is and how far they’ve come since ep 1

not yet said it on bluesky but: if you ever want anyone on your podcast to play a thing or talk about film/lupin/horror/sadboys/etc i have 20+ years of performance experience and if i’m not funny i’ll die

it's the season

so this was literally the best game plan they had for those files: expect anyone under the age of 50 to have passionate immovable reverence for the clinton administration

i mean it's fine. the legislation specifically said they couldn't do that but what is congress going to do

every single british actor in the second film is bouncing off of hardy's vaguely bostonian affect to varying degrees of success, which is funny enough as is but even funnier when you remember for some reason these films are set in san francisco

i've always thought laura's work is aces so what a gas to pick up a bunch of assorted roles in this one!

you’d think i’ve never watched a bad movie in my life

has anyone yet posited that one of the many reasons mbj's double role is so airtight in "sinners" is because he's such a colossal weeb. i think he got this script, saw the red/blue motif with the passionate/stoic brother, and locked in like "i've seen enough shonen to know where this goes"

Also we all know that whatever this ends up being, it’s gonna be weirdly fascist eugenics-y. Like it’s gonna be a bunch extremely conventionally attractive athletic mostly white kids a la the Nazi Olympics to underscore of “strong” white people are.

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

i have received, from clients, quickly photoshopped concepts, scenes acted out with action figures, lego sets, stick figures, scenes from movies with a "but xyz different instead", and I could go on. all of these were helpful and they had the average amount of note passes there's really no excuse

i've popped the can open by acknowledging the show even exists so i might as well tack on a genuine point of praise, which is that the "super shy anime girl" archetype is one that grinds on my nerves 9 times out of 10 and yet i think gangle is one of the best characters in the series for it

imagine if everyone had this level of acceptance

i don't talk much about amazing digital circus, a series on the whole i'm enjoying, but if i had one note as a writer i maaaaaybe would have gone back and retooled the phrasing of this line

actually kind of shocked that trump's evil ass rob reiner response is where a lot of his hardcore supporters are going "woah man maybe turn it down"

cigs, a newspaper and a bottle of wine on a beach in the adriatic would fix me🤌 #porcorosso

i also feel confident in making the connection with coretta scott king & not like, jackie o because jackie o's image after jfk was the queen holding vigil in the castle. coretta had to put a whole movement on her shoulders within the fucking WEEK, much more what they're trying to project on erika

When I interviewed Spinal Tap and Marty DiBergi this summer, none of them broke character, for the whole hour. Except Rob Reiner, once, losing it when Michael McKean's David St Hubbins talked about minimalism. I didn't use this in the feature and hadn't published any audio, but this is joyful.

the right wing push to finally snatch their own MLK For Evangelical White People via charlie kirk's death has been a grotesquely fascinating study of just everything going on in that sphere right now, especially with how they've unsuccessfully cast erika kirk as a bizarro white coretta scott king

as a breather before fire walk with me fucked up my night last night i showed my dad the psych twin peaks parody, which accidentally nails how one particular character is going to be written off the return 7 years later

obviously there are other reasons it’s there but i definitely admire the stones on frost and lynch to follow up a series which got complaints about dragging out its central mystery 25 years later with an even draggier central plot thread. this is not a complaint i think that’s genuinely hilarious

i have some great news about the most upsetting film ever made

i know it's because of my read of the return but i am always UNFATHOMABLY fucked up by this shot. like i actually had to stop myself from crying in front of my dad

the funniest thing is that the globes are infamously the awards ceremony for the bullshittiest of bullshit nominations and not even they were taking it from "wicked: for good" this year

hello darlings if you've ever been interested in hearing my dulcet soothing tones in your new fun project, i'm officially putting myself out there as available for VO work

it's the holiday season and if you got jobs this month i want to do those jobs for you

every time i watch twin peaks i’m reminded of what a slog the jean renault storyline is, which only makes the arrival of windom earle increasingly more delightful

i fucking hate to have to do this but the job search is still dragging on and every rock i've turned over has come up empty, so if you like what i do any one-off donation goes a long way towards keeping me going

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

updated to fix dates + add a few more of my freelance clients! pls tell your friends there's a 1930's era moll who wants to do jobs for them

You alright man? I keep seeing small damage numbers coming off you

large cigar chomping mafioso, obscured by a cloud of smoke, having just been asked who’s currently renting that retail property on main street: it’s time ta nail…th’ donut pub

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

it's the holiday season and if you got jobs this month i want to do those jobs for you

just at the end of a snow squall you'll see for maybe ten seconds the weirdest and most beautiful light on earth. thats what you tell an old person when they ask you why you always have your phone

the day has finally come: some lovely maniac put me on wikitubia youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Infinit...

slowly moving back onto instagram (it’s mostly film reviews)

Big mood, snowbell #art #fanart #oddityroadshow

it'll be going through my usual script advisor anyways but as i'm getting so fucking tantalizingly close to being done with this script i'm DEFINITELY realizing i will need a third opinion
