That there's the sound of an innocent man!

I grew up watching westerns on TCM when I spent the summers with my grandparents. I have these very specific memories of watching classics with my grandfather as the sun was rising. Both of us half asleep. And in a couple of hours I'm going to be on TCM. Life is strange and wonderful sometimes.

First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

Thinking about when I gave my nephew a GOODFELLAS shirt a couple of years ago, and he loved it but said, "But you know, I think my favourite is SILENCE." Real the pupil has become the master moment.

I just want James Gunn to know, I am willing to return as Shazam.

Birthday boy Rock Hudson washing up for surgery without a shirt on, like a man.

"Being able to use my privilege to pass on opportunities to other #disabled people and support projects I believe in brings me so much joy," #AliceWong said. "We live in such bleak times and what keeps me going is living to the maximum without apology." www.npr.org/2025/11/15/n... #disability

It's Scorsese’s birthday. In my high school creative writing class we had to journal, and I found out my teacher actually read the entries when she gave me a note one day that said if I wrote about Scorsese one more goddamn time she would fail me in the course.

My cat walked in on me watching THE BIRDS and was like, "Hard pass."

Have you ever read @mangiotto.bsky.social on the Rodgers & Hammerstein movie musicals? filmfreakcentral.net/2007/03/the-...

"Twenty-five years in and we bone like we're cheating on each other WITH each other. A decade-plus and her clit/brown/taint-area still pOwns my dick."

Ever wondered what happened to the specific type of people who used to model for the Sears catalogue? They migrated to Christmas movies for the Lifetime network.

I think this might be the most honest thing I ever wrote.

I am holding so much grief, but also so much gratitude that we lived in a world so shaped by her brilliance and creativity. Rest in power, Alice Wong. Your work changed us. Your vision will continue to lead us. Your memory is a blessing and a responsibility we must honor every day through action.

BEING EDDIE turns out to be a great way to see all your favourites from the Riyadh comedy festival in one place.

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Really digging "Plur1bus". Not too worried about the premise getting tired because "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" were all about the story pivots.

My cat's on one of her "I'm-a need you to entertain me" jags.

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

JAY KELLY begins breaking box-office records today on its way to healing the world via Netflix. Walter Chaw (@mangiotto.bsky.social) reviewed it at Telluride. filmfreakcentral.net/2025/09/tell...

Watching POMPEII with Emily Browning. I mean, she wasn't Browning until the volcano gave her a light sear.

There really is no such fucking thing as a "good social media app" huh

Absent-minded doodle of Dawson thinking about Joey and Pacey doin' it.

Things Megyn Kelly approves of: 1. Jeffrey Epstein Things Megyn Kelly disapproves of: 2. Black men dressed as Santa Claus

Next time on "Poker Face": "Did you just shape-shift into Peter Dinklage?" "...No." "Geez, I can't tell if you're lying. I guess that's why they call you Poker Face!"

New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

This is a me thing but I'm tired of Superman and Spider-Man movies being team sports. The meta humans in SUPERMAN are fine but I just wanted a Superman movie where Supermen are doin' it by themselves.

Didn't know he was a little fella.

For the Tuesday crowd.

"When Rupert here was a student, none of us dreamt that he would amount to a hill of beans. But we were wrong and you, Rupert, you were right. And that's why tonight, we'd like to beg your forgiveness for all the things we did to you, and thank you personally for the meaning you've given our lives."

Just want to say I accidentally belched into my voice remote and it automatically opened YouTube.

For the evening crowd.

FFC review: PREDATOR: BADLANDS, by Walter Chaw (@mangiotto.bsky.social). filmfreakcentral.net/2025/11/pred...

Sadly, won't be covering the 4K upgrade of Criterion's THE BREAKFAST CLUB (it's a beaut), but I did post 7,426 words about the film and disc when the Blu-ray came out, and the special features are identical across the two releases. filmfreakcentral.net/2018/04/the-...

Hey, my cat finally published her dissertation!

"The Lowdown"'s ending was so lovely and bittersweet that I'm torn between wanting a second season and thinking they should leave it there.

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

Oh for the love of Sharing, since I just googled these so I could leave angry voicemails telling these motherfuckers to hold the line Schumer's DC office number: 202-224-6542 Gillibrand's DC office number: (202) 224-4451

A must-see, and I mean it, for the scene of Madchen Amick dancing with a vacuum in an empty movie theatre lobby.

MIKE'S MURDER. Didn't expect something so deeply compromised by the studio to still be a devastatingly bleak neo-noir about men vanishing in the early AIDS era.

Late to the table but SENTIMENTAL VALUE opened this weekend; Walter reviewed it at Telluride, ICYMI.

I wanna make this shirt, but I'm pretty sure I'll get cease and desisted

Another IDIOCRACY joke becomes prophecy.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Caturday with my girl.

Lynch "presented" this clown's first movie. You'd think he would know a *little* better.

For the evening crowd

The one where Frankenstein moved in with the blind hermit.

Now playing on Netflix.
