I'm sorry. NICOLAS WINDING REFN??????

the amount that I hated that AOC character on The Boys ... pretty much what turned me entirely off the show's "both sides" cynicism.

This being the last post Alice made for herself makes me incredibly sad. We need more spaces for us. We need more places where voices like Alice’s are uplifted so that others can learn from the wisdom that needs to be shared.

as a big GDT guy, I wish I had fewer frustrations with the way this FRANKENSTEIN reinterprets the Creature into another of his misunderstood monsters -- but I have them, and here they are.

Incredibly smart PR tactic from ICE to continue assaulting very handsome priests

bumping! hope you'll read if you enjoyed DEATH BY LIGHTNING (which you all should have by now, it's great!)

In this very special, penultimate episode of the decade project on @ohmpods.bsky.social 2015, I catch up with writer/director/author S. Craig Zahler to reflect on the tenth anniversary of his terrifying, gruesome and elegant directorial debut, BONE TOMAHAWK open.spotify.com/episode/0CNq...

Probably the loveliest thing you’ll encounter on the timeline today.

good movie. when Cianfrance and I spoke, he talked about the '80s & '90s movies he was influenced by thematically and tonally, and it bums me that broadly audiences can accept nostalgic pastiche like STRANGER THINGS but not something that grapples more with how those time periods have disappeared.

whenever I think I'll never again be surprised by something Greg says about his relationship with Alex, he just says something so weird that I have to reset the whole scale (complimentary)

collateral, excellent, but also ... list invalid given the exclusion of

This is a must-read for Taskmaster fans! So many new tidbits I’ve never heard asked!

I love this show

I'm SO jealous of this interview but Roxana did a great job with it that I can't even be mad

we live in a deeply broken country and this is so sad (and avoidable!!! if we took care of people for the sake of taking care of people instead of executive wallets!!!)

this is a terrific conversation - plus I loved #DeathByLightning - read this!!

A really fun time: I talked to Alex Horne and Greg Davies about 20! seasons! of Taskmaster, their thoughts on cast chemistry, designing tasks, their own bond, and what comes next. @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/task...

director and actor matt ross was integral in making the phenomenal DEATH BY LIGHTNING -- building an immersive period piece, working with a fantastic ensemble. we talked about his work, and why he might not do another TV miniseries ever again. @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/deat...

linus FIRST MAN sandgren, you will always be famous to me

constantly refreshing @tomandlorenzo.bsky.social to get their WUTHERING HEIGHTS trailer thoughts

There are few things more infuriating than a magic movie with no magic in it. The ‘Now You See Me’ series is back, making a mockery of both magician movies and heist movies.

"Kathy, I'm lost", I said, though I knew she was sleeping I'm empty and aching and I don't know why Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike They've all come to look for America All come to look for America All come to look for America

You know what bugs me? That Steve Bannon always says “they’re gonna put me in jail!” and no Democrats say “You’re goddamn right we are!”

"BUT BILL CLINTON IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES" okay man arrest him too

wrote an essay about the lowdown, and how it can be hard to think about drama at a time when there never seem to be consequences for bad guys, and how the lowdown offers us a way out www.vulture.com/article/the-...

It's 1987. PREDATOR and THE RUNNING MAN are in theaters. It's 2025. PREDATOR and THE RUNNING MAN are in theaters.

"Is Jack Schlossberg the knight who slays his family's generational curses?" is a helluva question, not just b/c of Cousin Brainworm, but b/c so many Kennedy men are and were notoriously abusive to women. They were showmen, too—Camelot and all that. Bubble's popped for showmen. Hope he's not one.

I think I would still be wildly unhappy with how this all played out with this messaging, but at least it would feel like it's engaged with the world we live in today. The "my constituents just want us to work together" argument exists in the eternal 1995 too many Dems refuse to leave behind.

10:06 p.m. -- the perfect time for me, someone who has not left the house in 4 days, to wander into my kitchen wondering to myself, "any new snacks in here?", and conduct a real investigation as if I am not someone who, again, has not left the house to buy anything new in 4 days

the thing about all casting that involves shea whigham: HELL YEAH, THAT'S SHEA WHIGHAM

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

What a thrill to be part of @talkingpointsmemo.com's series about the past 25 years of digital media! I wrote about why private equity goons destroyed Deadspin and why it matters.

would be very cool if you subscribed!

extremely devastating news. "It's not because you don't understand, but you can't feel what I feel. You can sympathize, understand, show compassion. But feel my pain? No."

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai. I interviewed and was star struck by him twice. Once was on stage at the Museum of the Moving Image after a screening of the paranoid spy comedy AGE OF ASSASSINS, and once was for @ebertvoices.bsky.social: www.rogerebert.com/interviews/a...

always so funny to me the hysteria that mamdani -- perpetually smiling! light-skinned for a brown man! so pleasant! -- causes in people by suggesting such catastrophic ideas as "give people who need food said food at reasonable prices" and "make the transit system more accessible." real evil stuff

We gotta make this man politically toxic. He puts his name next to yours? Primaried! He endorses you? You lose!!

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.

"The only power you have is to vote" isn't just something the Democrat fandom believes, the actually powerful people in the party do too I guess.

this was a frustrating season of #GBBO, one that made a very specific flaw plain: the technical is cooked. increasingly overcomplicated and inconsistently judged, it's the series's most oddly variable element. fix the technical! @vulture: www.vulture.com/article/grea...

really appreciate Nate Silver giving us a unifying point during what is otherwise a pretty unpleasant couple days of Bluesky

PSA for the Blu-ray buffs among us: wait until spring for the One Battle After Another special edition
