“Actually, I think about the Mona Lisa a lot” isn’t what you expect your 6yo to mention at dinner before pulling this out of his bag.

A delightful romp, this movie.

Marya’s Letterboxd is a fantastic resource for films directed by women, silent films, old Hollywood, noir, Palestinian movies and just about anything else made under the sun.

like, the fact that they felt this spectacle was necessary is itself evidence that they don't have the military support that they want

Dudes rock

David Cross folks.

you're telling me that K-smog and Batboy were just baking? and that was a problem for Zoosha? this whole thing just turned upside down

oh god I'm watching HEART EYES for the first time and the @scottwampler.bsky.social tribute got me good.

no greater hubris than a middle-aged man who thinks he can jump on a skateboard

Stephen Miller shorted AMC

you have to tap in the upper left. tap exactly on the little tap logo. the tap spot is over on the right side. tap in the center. you have to keep tapping. this tap doesn't work ha ha. did you tap at the bottom edge

All new Star Wars titles will feature a playable, sympathetic, hard-working Empire beaurocrat.

Have you seen the Alan Arkin superhero comedy musical where Christopher Lee sings and has a never-explained alien/mutant/animal sidekick?

This is the Kaleb Horton piece that deserved to make him the defining voice of today. He was an poet, a comic, and a cultural anthropologist who understood America on a soul-deep level. It's his 2016 road trip to the Constitution Party's election convention in Utah. web.archive.org/web/20160918...

Gutted at the news that Kaleb Horton is gone. Kaleb was a brilliant writer, of course, but he was also a gifted photographer. Years ago I encouraged him to sell his pieces. His work was so good, I told him, and people should see it. Here are some of his beautiful shots.

The fact that Kaleb Horton died begging for work instead having a column at some hip legacy mag is such an indictment of this industry. People should have been begging to put him on payroll. But nope, we've reserved that space for Ezra Klein

RIP Kaleb Horton kalebhorton.ghost.io/2025-so-far/

what are we doing here people

My 40 hr/week contract job, which was recently reduced to 20 hr/week, is now Zero hr/week due to budget cuts. (Not just me, a whole team.) If anyone wants to hire the best entertainment writer in the galaxy (me) please be in touch. “I will do dog food commercials!” [email protected]

My friend Austin is doing amazing work to erase medical debt in Georgia. And it's my birthday! In honor of that, or just because it's a fall Friday and we're alive and trying to make the world better however we can, please consider throwing a few dollars at the fundraiser. Literally anything helps!

If ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER gets you interested in Pynchon's "Vineland" — which is worth a read and relatively easy as Pynchon novels go — Salman Rushdie's 1990 review of the book is almost a better place to start than Wikipedia or whatever. archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes....

Walking into the new PTA movie, based on one of my favorite books, and by the time i get home it’ll be my birthday. Could not ask for much more. (Personally. On a bigger scale I have some requests.)

Great reporting. Between the lines here, there's reason to wonder if these 4chan guys are thinking the infamy they crave is more attainable via political targets rather than schools.

This is one thing that gives me hope. Because when it happens DC is gonna be like the town at the end of a monster movie where everyone that had been turned snaps out of it and says "why am I banging this chicken" or "but I'm a vegetarian" through a mouthful of raw calf liver.

new load-bearing meme template dropped

how could anyone see something this beautiful and think being neurodivergent is bad

Claudia Cardinale passed away today, so I was going to post how she was in that hilarious scene in The Pink Panther where Clouseau pops a champagne bottle in bed as a metaphor. But it wasn't her in that scene. I just still wanted to let everyone know they made jokes about nutting too soon in 1963.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Apple finally realized how to get people to know it has a streaming service.

Claudia Cardinale and Robert Redford dying in the same week puts the world in a hotness deficit not seen since at least the 19th century

Amazing movie. One of my favorite filmgoing memories was seeing Salman Rushdie introduce this movie at Emory, and the long Q&A/convo he led after. He talked a lot about Cardinale as a singular presence.

It's bleak out there. But we're gonna do some good this week. How I'd Fix Atlanta has partnered with Undue Medical Debt to help a bunch of ATLiens this week, and we need your help. Give what you can. Tell everyone you know. unduemedicaldebt.org/campaign/whe...

Every Dem should be repeating over and over that these people will be found and punished.

Here's the AP article I cut out of the Boston Globe when the rapture didn't happen in 1992. Kept it around because (a) amazing headline and (b) it keeps not happening?

I would watch an entire series of movies about the goth punk bus driver who is in 20 seconds of POISON IVY (1992).

on top of all his other crimes, Trump is out here getting me to side with Johnson & Johnson? this guy

Did Susan Sarandon learn this look from Tim Curry on ROCKY HORROR and keep it in her pocket for years before deploying it for THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK?

guy who wrote most of these also did the novelization for THUNDERBOLT & LIGHTFOOT and some other movies of the era

Watched Shinya Tsukamoto's A SNAKE OF JUNE. Incredible stuff. Sad, creepy, perverse, romantic. It's the guy who made TETSUO getting even deeper into feelings, almost making an approachable movie in the process, without feeling like he's compromising a thing.

Cher in THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK doodles the Dio logo just like I did in high school

Dems dropped the ball when they stopped talking about how fucking weird these people are
