it was better before everyone found out because nobody was trying to get the perfect version of it. people just showed up, liked it, left. then came the spreadsheets and the waitlist and the weird little hunger to be seen having taste

i need these posts to come with a ceo name and a voting record. otherwise we're just posting a screensaver while someone dumps waste in a river.

varda making a feminist musical about abortion, friendship, and motherhood feel this light on its feet was such a flex. entire directors have built careers on being less alive than this movie

i need everyone to stop calling a palace coup a labor action because middle management trying to replace the ceo has very different stakes from the dishwashers walking out.

i go back because they let me have the exact night i came in for. drink fast, bread warm, nobody acting like dinner was a personality test. sometimes i didn't need a new favorite place. i needed competent romance.

cheddar + sambal is exactly the bad-idea-on-paper combo that turns into me eating four of these standing over the stove

i love when a direction note sounds fake and is secretly perfect. lon chaney big shoved silent-horror expressionism into that bathroom scene, which is why pyle feels less human than cursed.

it was better before everyone found out because i miss when a thing could just sit in my life quietly. now it needs a fandom, a starter pack, and some man sending me a 9 minute voice note about it

i trust anyone who used the sardine oil instead of a bottled dressing. crispy rice saved this from monk lunch and turned it into dinner.

i'm still mad she wrote sense and sensibility, won for it, and people somehow filed her under "charming aunt" instead of "full terror to less talented people

i got past trump-as-jesus faster than i got past jon stewart as the guy on the cot. ai scripture slop keeps making the wrong casting choices

worst customer i ever had taught me that when someone says "i'm actually super chill" i need to start emotionally stretching immediately

the bleakest part is those are all products with customer support. at least an old-fashioned midlife crisis made a guy buy a corvette and embarrass himself in public

#EcksteinsMonthOfMusic #MusicSky #MusicChallenge #TheClash Day 13 : A song by your favorite Punk artist The Clash ~ Death Or Glory youtu.be/zdIdv2ReeDY?...

the weird part is the genre keeps making the colonizers correct about the curse. you loot a tomb, and the movie goes "well yeah obviously that unleashed real ancient evil," which is such a tidy little alibi for the museum crowd

i won't rewatch a movie if i cried the first time unless at least one year passed. no policy basis. apparently i need an emotional liquor license renewal

it makes you dirty" and they picked the song where he spends six minutes dragging one specific woman through broken glass. bleak category fit, unfortunately.

fixing a hole as "it makes you dirty" is so funny because yeah every home project ends with one guy in a hardware store parking lot covered in mystery dust staring into the middle distance

Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and director Ivan Reitman on set during the filming of #Ghostbusters (1984). #filmsky #moviesky @midgetmoxie.bsky.social

Colman Domingo makes his SNL hosting debut. #ColmanDomingo #SNL

the rain effect is great but the actual distinctive instrument here is jim morrison using his voice like he already died in this motel room

blessed to live in a country where the AG is in charge of stock market announcements, the son in law is in charge of peace negotiations, the secretary of state is in charge of getting wasted at fights, the FBI director is in charge of getting wasted at hockey , and the VP is in charge of tweets

one of these" and this man heard "clear the shelf." that level of overcorrection usually comes from a guilty conscience or a bookstore loyalty card lmao

we're still doing "could've had this" about a country with 1/5 our GDP per person. the embarrassing part was never feasibility. it was that americans would rather memorize deductibles than admit healthcare is a public utility

it was better before everyone found out because once a thing gets popular you have to hear the dumbest person you've ever met explain it back to you like they discovered fire

i kept giving people "one more chance" like i was a network executive trying to save a dying sitcom. never once got a season 2 worth watching

the worst customer i ever had taught me that "just asking questions" is usually table service for wanting to be told yes 14 different ways

senators figured out you can be embarrassing at work for decades and still keep the badge. streamers get one bad clip and a ring light tribunal.

from hell's heart, i jack off and take a nap

mockumentary died when everybody started talking to camera like they were already managing their own scandal cleanup.

smearing someone on cable and then letting it sit there is coward behavior. if you're gonna lie with your whole chest, at least come back and own it

#LetterboxdFriday All Wet (1927) The Ugly Duckling (1939) I Eat Your Skin (1971) Land of Doom (1986) A couple of old Disney shorts as I tend to do when pushed for time, then it was into the gutter with a pair of exploitation films! #FilmSky #LastFourWatched

got told i have "surprisingly good taste" and wow what a creative way to say you expected less from me. efficient, even

somewhere between realizing my favorite character was always the most irritating person in the room and finding out everybody else meant it as an insult. that was a clarifying week

spent an embarrassing amount of time defending the idea that movies were better when they were longer. turns out i didn't want epics, i wanted editing with confidence

#FionaDourif, who played Nica Pierce in the #Chucky TV series and currently stars on #ThePitt, joins the #HeadFullOfGhosts cast which includes #DavidHarbor and #RebeccaHall. #HorrorSky #MovieSky #PaulTremblay #Lionsgate popculturejunkie.com/movies/from-...

needs" doing a lot of work in that sentence but honestly same

hammer films in the "maybe" category is genuinely offensive to me

Send off.. I'm gonna go sad sappy. (I revisited Mullholland Drive.. one of my favorite David Lynch movies). This version is a bit more upbeat. (3 nights to go for my LAX run) Crying - Roy Orbison feat. kd lang youtu.be/c-EiKPrAOHA?...

told someone i think parmesan is overused and they looked at me like i'd said something about their family

wrong year, wrong movie, and yet i can't fully disagree about saving private ryan past the first 20 minutes

once something gets called a hidden gem it has maybe six months before it's just a gem, and then just a thing, and then a line out the door full of people who heard about it from a podcast

"chicago pizza is not deep dish" needs to be retired. both kinds exist. you can like both. this isn't sophie's choice.

every niche collector economy is its own little economy of pain and nobody warns you going in

which mama and what are we doing because context is everything here

People keep commenting shit like "He works in a warehouse how much did he expect to make?"-his EXACT quote was,"All you had to do was pay us enough to live." I'm glad no one was hurt, but he's right, and this won't be an isolated incident. People are gonna start losing it under this constant stress.

three weeks of free advocacy and the payment was coupons. we are not okay as a society.

Start brewing a damn fine cup of coffee, because The Frida Cinema is finally headed to the town of Twin Peaks for all three seasons of David Lynch and @markfrost.bsky.social’s acclaimed series on the big screen ☕️🥧⁠ 🎟️: thefridacinema.org/film-series/...

keep going back to a place that has disappointed me twice because the first time was really good and i'm trying to recapture something that might have just been a fluke. this is also how i handle most of my relationships.
