It's been a week since I've seen it, and in that time, Benicio Del Toro's work in One Battle After Another has stuck with me the most. He's so warm and open! Give him awards!

One of the things that sucks about this era is having to think about the racists all the time, because they’re so boring. They have like, three tools in their toolkit, so we get to say things like “oh look, they’re using the hammer again”

Went to a cat cafe with @coralinewren.bsky.social today. We’re ready to adopt another cat (or two) right yet but it was good to sit with some for awhile ❤️

“Apples and Bananas (The Phonics Song)”

We’ve had two separate “damn was this movie made yesterday??” discourse cycles this year, and I think that’s interesting in an era when so many movies shy away from the present.

AI actress Tilly Norwood has tragically passed away while filming her first movie with director A Hologram of John Landis

AI slop increasingly strikes me as one of the defining aesthetics of our era, even beyond its heavy appeal to reactionaries, so, alas, I am going to keep writing about it.

Southland Tales might be the most 2007 film ever, but it's also horribly prescient of our current brainrot times. I wrote about the film for Crooked Marquee. crookedmarquee.com/southland-ta...

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Post a fictional comedian who definitely would accept an invitation to the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Michael Sarrazin - 📽️ They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (Sydney Pollack, 1969) Pollack’s most haunting film might be his best, set at a Depression-era dance marathon. Jane Fonda and Gig Young have flashy roles, but the underrated Sarrazin is the central anchor, gifting the film an unforgettable ending.

I hope a Woodworking TV/film adaptation happens, because somewhere out there is an 18-year-old trans girl who should play Abigail, and I want to try to make friends with her, proving I don't understand my own book.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

sounds like she needs to spend some time in a place that somehow makes heartbreak feel good

The only ship worth shipping, imho

The latest edition of the “Amy acts like she’s not so secretly a contract killer/secret agent” bit

Would that were Norway a real place…

This is a great joke only if you’ve seen the movie.

Brought to you by the good people at Apple…and CVS…and Zatarain’s…and…

Dance on, dancing chicken, dance on!

…and the bit continues!

This is technically the start of a bit that I am not so secretly a contract killer/former secret agent, although I suppose this technically could have started with that Argylle review.

Sometimes you can’t sleep and have a terrible idea to watch a bad movie. And sometimes what happens is even worse: You find out you _like_ it.

Cause you’re right

Me and who?

My favorite of all of these, if I’m being honest

I’m annoyed I didn’t get any shit for this take

I mean this is true tho.

I feel like I could make a movie about this thread of reviews and it would be… absolutely terrible, just not a good topic for a movie. It’d be better lit than this one tho.

The third part of my trilogy of reviews involving Howard Johnson’s

This review brought to you by the good people at Space Howard Johnson’s

I could sure go for some space Howard Johnson’s right now…

My wife @coralinewren.bsky.social said this is the funniest thing I’ve ever written and I make it a point not to disagree with her, especially when she’s right.

Another non gimmicky review that I wrote that I like.

Sometimes it gets lost in these reviews that I’m a bisexual woman married to a woman. Consider this a reminder.

She’s right, and I applaud her (me) for saying it!

Love this review because it’s so simple

Gonna sing praises for this movie any chance I get

No, I don’t know wtf I’m taking about either.

Movies where Amy intensely identifies with a character (Natalie Portman Division)

iykyk

Wherein Amy reminds us all she’s from a small town in the Midwest.

Another one you’ll have to click through to read.

Sharing this one just for the line about a “The Babadook” Babadook

It’s me, back on my bullshit with this one
