I saw All That Jazz for the first time this year and I've thought about it every day since.

Corey is right that the best ending is a filmmaker ending their film about the shattered dreams of filmmaking with a beautiful ode to the magic of the movies he just picked the wrong one. The correct answer is Close Your Eyes.

Daily reminder that what they did to us on the flotilla was the red carpet, VIP lounge version of what they do to Palestinians

Me while watching Deep Red this evening.

New wave of blue sky entrants come follow me for a good post every two weeks at most

Spending today engaging with the most talked about music of October 2025 (going to see Billy woods play live)

A question I always want to ask people making the "trans rights have gone too far on sports and youth and we need to find the sensible centre" people is: imagine you get what you want...

As someone who games quite a bit it's entirely possible I will spend less on video games this year than I will on my mubi go subscription, which only helps to limit my cinema spending by a bit.

It's crazy that the new Mission Impossible movie is like the only mainstream outlet of any sort that will openly say Israel has nuclear weapons. Like I'm still trying to wrap my head around that.

After Hours is one of the great nightmare thrillers and it's lead characters psychology is just "horny and wants to get laid"

I think this is crazy to me for other reasons (those movies should've been nominated for sound design)

Feels like we went from 5 to 100 going straight from "we can have a few Taylor Swift gigs in Croke Park" to "the NFL is coming to Croke Park".

Nurse: The cancer is in your sights! Administer the shot! Doctor: I can't do it! I'm not woke! Me (watching through binoculars): He's not woke. He won't do it.

Coming home late from a night out just gonna give a hell yah Doechii before I go to sleep

Been spending most of today trying to figure out why they included the Utah jazz in this deal. Like how the hell did that happen.

The best band of all time and there's no way you'll get me to listen to strangers to ourselves again.

Never really understood people having hard and fast rules on this stuff, this is always a how long is a piece of string question for me. I have cinema screens where I would never go near the first seven rows and screens where I refuse to sit in the back half of the rows.

Absolutely insane to me that we're getting the fifth year anniversary of Parasite winning best picture before we get Bong Joon Ho's followup to Parasite.

Unfortunately if someone I knew showed up eight months after I last saw them with an eye patch and Carl the llama I would fall instantly in love. I would believe that they were my soulmate.

I am the only person alive who wants to see The Brutalist solely for Isaach De Bankole

I haven't been posting I've been sick

I am going to watch No Other Land tomorrow and then I am going to stop worrying about watching every 2024 movie before finalising my best of 2024 list that will be seen by at most 20 people.

One of these days Elon's gonna start the worst video game company of all time.

I don't have a problem with when year end lists are run but I do hate when a publication decides to include December releases in their year end list the following year, like when Pitchfork put SOS on their best of 2023 list because it came out in December 2022 after they published their 2022 list.

I haven't seen it yet, will probably do so over the month, but Roxana is articulating my fears of what this show would be like having watched the trailers: another depiction of the troubles that skips the actual conditions of life on the ground to get to the car bombs.

NW: Janet Planet. By which I mean I'm at the Confidence Man gig.

I was too young to know if Alfonso Cuaron was knocked for doing HP but I actually think the comparison between the two makes extremely clear why people are may more bummed with Jenkins doing Lion King.

He's sart of like a single porson.

Reading through the 2024 album lists and did we all collectively forget that Blue Lips came out this year?

I regret to inform you all that I have My Bloody Valentine tickets.

Last night my houseboat was docked at the himbodome

If there's anything I know about rappers it's that they're a big fan of RICO charges. Everyone really loved it when Young Thug got indicted on RICO charges.

Holy shit

Nikita Hand is a brave woman to go to court after Conor McGregor raped her. I hope he gets the punishment he deserves.

The fact that the Variety co-editor-in-chief almost immediately went on the record to confirm what Stan is saying makes me think that they are not happy with this either. www.indiewire.com/news/breakin...

Agree with the fury and thrust of what Sam Barlow is saying but I'm gonna disagree slightly with his point here: AI video technology is unbelievably restrictive as a tool of creative freedom: most of it looks like shit, you can't have anyone say anything, you can't show heads or bodies moving...

I always feel like Grizzly Bear gets missed in the discussions of greatest 21st century bands but they're mine: two all time great vocalists with insane harmonies over music that's technically demanding and gorgeous, with four stone cold classic albums in a row.

I read this an immediately thought "oh no what did MJ Lenderman do"

It's baking Sunday.

Probably my favourite Coens the dialogue absolutely sings in this one.

That man wants to be the next Tom Cruise so bad he's taking roles in movies named after Cruise's signature move.

It's amazing how much Cary Elwes has been playing off the expectation of his Princess Bride character where when he showed up in FFC's Dracula (which I saw recently) I went "oh that dude's played by Elwes he's gonna be such a jerk"

If I could bet on a contest between Elon musk and the big government machine I'd put so much of my money on the big government machine right now.

But of fudging with the release years, some of these are Irish some are US, but mostly happy.

Don't know why everyone is mad about the People's sexiest man award being given to Tony Leung again for the 30th year in a row.

Nothing more absolutely terrifying then an isolated "Hey, how are you" from your boss on Skype and then waiting ten minutes for the followup

The voters wanted change, and they got it: now the diplomatic face of the US funding genocide will play Ted Nugent Bass instead of Blues Guitar.

Only played a little of the Metaphor Refantazio demo, barely enough to have much of an opinion on it, but I know I'm gonna play the whole thing just to hear that guy go crazy on the battle theme.
