IMO the movie theatre chain that can combine film with a hunger/need for "third spaces" where people can actually hang out and communicate with each other about what they just watched is primed to make a ton of money. @amctheatres.bsky.social @regalmovies.bsky.social #filmsky #moviesky 🎬📽️

Did we think "In Old Chicago" would be more of a musical like Wikipedia claimed? Yes. Did we find a way to make a Mufasa reference in our post on the movie? Also yes. iltbta.substack.com/p/in-old-chi... #filmsky #moviesky #substack 🎬📽️🍿

Between the late great Robert Redford, a bekhakied young Meryl Streep, and some nice sweeping vistas, "Out of Africa" was one of our better-looking movies. Was it one of our BETTER movies, though? Eh ... iltbta.substack.com/p/out-of-afr... #filmsky #moviesky #substack 🎬📽️🍿

Had a blast at #CrookedCon yesterday! Thanks to everyone at @crooked.com for putting together such a great event and gathering such insightful speakers (@abreezeclayton.bsky.social and Lina Khan being my favorites). Oh and some newcomer named @barackobama.bsky.social ...

HUGE night last night for America. The people rose up to speak truth to power and the numbers back it up. We're of course talking about our latest post on Toy Story 3, what else happened? iltbta.substack.com/p/toy-story-... (jk, congrats to our home state @vademocrats.bsky.social!)

We went to Japan. Basil did not. She had feelings about that. iltbta.substack.com/p/basil-take...

Dear Bluesky, We reviewed Clint Eastwood's"Letters from Iwo Jima." We liked it, even though the suicide scene will haunt our dreams forever. Best, ILTBTA iltbta.substack.com/p/letters-fr... #filmsky #moviesky #substack 🎬📽️🍿

Hey @sarahbagley.bsky.social and @kirkmcpike.bsky.social, questions for the next podcast ep: 1. Has @alexandriavagov.bsky.social done a rat census or anything else to handle rats/mice? (see: wapo.st/46p7FAe) 2. What can we do to reduce cars running red lights? Besides get them onto bikes of course 😉

In honor of our latest post on "The Pride of the Yankees" (and because I'm a sicko Phillies fan) we caught some baseball at Nats Park this weekend! iltbta.substack.com/p/the-pride-... Of course, no trip to the ballpark is complete without some Rita's wooder ice. #filmsky #moviesky #substack 🎬📽️🍿⚾

With it being hot AF around the country today, why not stay in and cool off with the nautical adventure "Master and Commander"? When you're done, check out our post, if only to play another round of That Guy From That Thing! iltbta.substack.com/p/master-and... #filmsky #moviesky #substack 🎬📽️🍿

Ahoy mateys! Set sail with our post on "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World." Unless ye be a dastardly land lubber, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum? Now we're just quoting the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney. iltbta.substack.com/p/master-and... #filmsky #moviesky #substack 🎬📽️🍿

"Problematic fave" or just problematic? Our post on "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." iltbta.substack.com/p/seven-brid... (h/t to @claireefallon.bsky.social (I think?) on an old episode of "Love To See It" for the framing.) #filmsky #moviesky #substack 🎬📽️🍿

Never thought we'd laugh at a movie involving Nazis but here we are: our post on 1998's "Life Is Beautiful." iltbta.substack.com/p/life-is-be... #filmsky #moviesky #substack 🎬📽️🍿

Politics of seeing something at The Kennedy Center aside, we had a blast last week seeing "Amadeus" with a live orchestra and chorus! We both liked the movie better the second time around, maybe the theatrical cut is better? iltbta.substack.com/p/amadeus-1984 #filmsky #moviesky #substack 🎬📽️🍿

Make sure you read all the way to the end (the "Post-Credits Scene") of our latest post on "The Nun's Story" for some cute pics of our recent birthday girl, Basil! iltbta.substack.com/p/the-nuns-s... My personal favorite? Basil in "Babushka Mode." #filmsky #moviesky #substack #dogs 🎬📽️🍿🐶

A wimple favor: our thoughts on the amazing Audrey Hepburn in "The Nun's Story": iltbta.substack.com/p/the-nuns-s... Alternate sub-title that we didn't go with because it's "too niche" and "technically doesn't make any sense": Belgian Con-go to the polls. #filmsky #moviesky #substack 🎬📽️🍿

Finally got around to watching Mufasa this weekend! Was this movie strictly necessary? No. Did I nevertheless enjoy it because I was a Lion King kid? Yes. Did I also tear up at the end? Yes. Do I miss my parents and never met most of my grandparents? Also yes.

New post alert new post alert! Check out in what way I compared "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming" to a Christopher Nolan movie: iltbta.substack.com/p/the-russia... #filmsky #moviesky #substack 🎬📽️🍿

The British are running! The British are running! ILTBTA went for a run on the beach and watched "Chariots of Fire": iltbta.substack.com/p/chariots-o... #moviesky #filmsky #substack 🎬📽️🍿

Yesterday we procrastinated writing about movies by ... going to the movies. First up on our AMC double-feature: #BlackBag. Whew what a sleek, sexy, fun movie with a perfect runtime. Also, if Regé-Jean Page isn't the next Bond, what are we even doing? He's suave AF & got us pregnant with dem eyes.

Back on our Random Movie From The 30s bullshit: this time, we watched 1931's "The Front Page." Come for the jokes, stay for the "Citizen Kane" quasi-comparison. iltbta.substack.com/p/the-front-... #filmsky #moviesky #substack 📽️🎬🍿

We back babyyy! In honor of the kerfuffle over Mozart's Lacrimosa at the Oscars, we present: "Amadeus." Did we unknowingly get the Director's Cut from the library? Maybe, but S/O to @alexandriavagov.bsky.social for having it to begin with! iltbta.substack.com/p/amadeus-1984 #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬

YES SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MOVIE THEATRE (we gotchu @amctheatres.bsky.social ) #oscars #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬🍿

Adrien Brody giving hope to us fellow big-nose-havers out here. #Oscars #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬👃

I want Cillian Murphy saying "nuggets" as my new ringtone. #Oscars #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬

A weird choice by @theacademyusa.bsky.social to nix the Best Original Song performances ... and replace them with less relevant musical performances. What's the goal here? #Oscars #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬🎵

Lacrimosa is a perfect choice for the #Oscars In Memoriam, anyone saying anything otherwise is just wrong. #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬

Hey @theacademyusa.bsky.social, funny how all these people are praising Denis Villeneuve huh? Almost like he earned himself a nomination, don't ya think? #Oscars #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬🍿

We gasped at the competence for giving Best Sound to Dune: Part Two and not one of the musicals! #Oscars #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬

Our reaction whenever anything from Emilia Perez (other than Zoe Saldana) wins at the #Oscars #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬

Not us tearing up at Zoe Saldana screaming "Mommy!" to her mom in the crowd. #Oscars #filmsky #moviesky 📽️📽️

We love the Anora love, but props to the editing for "The Brutalist," a 3.5-hour movie that moved along at a decent pace. #Oscars #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬

Do the #Oscars know that James Bond didn't *actually* die? Or are we treating a real-life Bond villain taking over as its metaphorical death? #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬🍿🇬🇧

June Squibb joking that she's being played by Bill Skarsgard might be my favorite joke of the night so far. #Oscars #filmsky #moviesky 📽️ 🎬

Not us cheering loudly for Anora and Conclave's screenplay #Oscars wins.

Shout out to this guy from "Flow" for thanking his cats and dogs. #Oscars

Fun fact: Andrew Garfield is the most common celebrity doppelganger that Tyler gets. #Oscars

Hey the sandworm from "Dune: Part Two" got onstage! We gave it a shout-out in our #Oscars Preview Post: iltbta.substack.com/p/oscars-202... #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬

Finally Cynthia can do "Defying Gravity" without it being chopped up by exposition! #Oscars #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬

That sound you hear is film nerds scrambling to identify all the movies in that "We Love LA" #Oscars opening. #filmsky #moviesky 📽️🎬

It's finally #Oscars night! Basil can't believe it's finally ... aaaaand she's asleep.

We're so here for the "Fall Guy" love
