Since Joe Carnahan has a new movie out this weekend (THE RIP), a friendly reminder that if you buy the Limited Edition Blu-ray of NARC from Arrow Films, you can enjoy an essay from me on the film's place in the history of police cinema.

I'm excited to vote for @jasmineforus.bsky.social in the upcoming democratic primary for US Senate! She was out of our congressional district by a couple of miles, but with her play for the Senate we get to throw our support behind one of the fiercest voices for American democracy in years!

Thread! The first wave of the 2026 SXSW Film & TV Festival lineup is here! A crazy great year, and while I’m sure there’s some buzzy films you already know about, I think it’s particularly strong for films that probably aren’t on your radar. Especially for genre film... sxsw.com/festivals/fi...

Sorry, I forgot to engage the good vibes protocol: Holy Weapon (1993) is a Wong Jing shlock in which 6 swordswomen combine into a human megazord and fight twith a human rocket punch. It is my dream to one day ask Michell Yeoh if she remembers this movie at all.

One thing about Bluesky is that Indian film twitter hasn't really made the migration over here. If I had posted this excoriation of a terrible film over there I'd have already been bombarded with hate (interspersed with a few posts agreeing with me).

You know what's great about American healthcare? I went for my annual physical, which is supposed to be $0 on my insurance plan. HOWEVER, if you ask a question or mention any emergent concerns it automatically transitions to an office visit which is then $30. What a lovely surprise.

Back in 2021 I wrote 2000+ words on the first Akhanda and got death threats on twitter. This morning I wrote 800+ words on Akhanda 2, which means that I put more thought into this Letterboxd review than Boyapati Sreenu put into the script. In two words, it stinks! boxd.it/cyM7n5

#NowWatching AKHANDA 2 AKHANDA was one of the most senselessly violent and pedantic movies I've ever seen, so now that the sequel has dropped on Netflix, I have to know how they follow that insanity.
