My favorite publication to write for (3x so far) and to read. An oasis of thoughtful film writing in a growing media desert. Subscribe and you’ll get the best humanistic thinking and writing about film online.

Been off the grid at my MFA residency in Nebraska where it was hot bc of corn sweat (?) but pretty all the same

Certain episodes of Columbo were released theatrically in Italy, a collection of posters.

Join patreon.com/rangedtouch to hear us talk about 2011's BAG OF BONES, a truly terrible (and yet extremely weird) adaptation of the Stephen King novel. It has one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a tv movie - Pierce Brosnan getting electrocuted with tree powers so hard he pukes. Sound up

On Nicholson’s birthday, one of my favorite clips — in which his interview is interrupted by a call from “Toots” (Angelica Huston), asking when he’ll arrive for dinner. As intimate as you’re likely to see any celebrity of his caliber. Ever.

Van Hollen to the Trump administration: "Put up in court or shut up"

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

SCOOP: Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi went into an interview today hoping he would come out a U.S. citizen. Instead, ICE arrested him. theintercept.com/2025/04/14/i...

Half of America has a chronic illness. I am one of those people. This is an active and immediate attack on our very lives, as if our medications weren’t expensive enough.

As always

Another beautiful Mayhem morning

Official review of Mayhem:

Pretending not to care about Mayhem so the next 20 min pass faster

I saw Emmy's play and it was excellent! Plus, it's fun to support local theater.

In some personal news, a short play I wrote has advanced to the semi-finals of the Queens Short Play Festival tomorrow night! If you’re in NYC, please come out and support local indie theatre and help us advance to the finals. 🎟️ tix: www.tickettailor.com/events/these...?

Politeness, decorum, adherence to norms, and plucky little signs are not going to get us anywhere right now. Via @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

I know this is not legally exact, but...this is a breach of the full faith & credit of the United States of America. It's a betrayal of the most basic contract between the people and the nation: you give the nation the gift of a lifetime of toil, and the nation will support you in your later years

Every day should be like this for all of them. ALL OF THEM. ALL THE TIME. EVERYWHERE THEY GO. They shouldn't be able to go out to eat, to relax, to vacation, to shop, without someone making a noise.

it obviously pisses me off that people don't care if politicians are sex criminals in general, but even if you think "well why should i care about their personal life if i agree with them on the issues", a person who sexually harasses people is definitionally a person who will abuse their power

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

This week on @podcastlikeits Patreon I wrap up my Renee Zellweger rom-com miniseries with @emmylanepotter.bsky.social & @frazbelina.bsky.social to talk Down With Love! We talk Hudson / Day movies, Renee / Ewen and costumes!! Subscribe Here! www.patreon.com/podcastlikeits

the way to stop people doing nazi shit is to create an environment where doing nazi shit immediately gets you jumped by six guys, do not pass go, ass kicking first and ask questions later. every goth & punk bar on god's gay earth already figured this out in the 90s

Congratulations to Daniel Craig, the final person to play James Bond

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished

Going to be quite frank, I do not find anything about this “king” stuff to be funny in any form, don’t think there’s a place for us to just crack wise about it and pretend it’s normal, yes we are all irony-poisoned but if we don’t draw a line here then we have no line

Have to say, all in all, I liked it better when everything didn't fucking suck shit

We have three performances left before the semifinals! Come out and VOTE! Lmk if you’re in!

Happy Valentine’s Day from @podcastlikeits The 2000s! This week @emilystjams.bsky.social and I unpack The Notebook w/ @emmylanepotter.bsky.social & @carriesnotscary.bsky.social We discuss Britney Spears, the careers (and love) of Gosling & McAdams and their infamous MTV Movie Awards kiss! 😘 💘

Watching the new Bridget Jones on Peacock, and while it is delightful in its own way, they all look so much older, it makes me feel kinda sad lol

Shy people, you can leave a voicemail for Gov. Hochul at this number right now!

I really can’t believe some people were placing bets on the two of them reconciling on stage. Nah, y’all. This is the Olivia de Havilland-Joan Fontaine feud of rap. They are taking this beef TO THE GRAVE.

We need to fear the consequences of inaction more than the consequences of action.

They are seeking to criminalize integration efforts across public life. We must be clear eyed and direct about what’s happening here. We have not witnessed this blatant of a comprehensive governmental attack on integration since the Civil Rights Movement. slate.com/news-and-pol...

the fucking enforcement arm of the federal government is launching a war on integration an effort to push tens of millions of americans to the bottom of an arbitrary hierarchy of value and yeah, it pisses me off to see nominal allies say “oh yeah maybe they have a point”

If someone starts a class action lawsuit, I will join bc I just filed my FAFSA for my second year of grad school and fuck this shit

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB". The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

For the love of God, if I see one more ',grow your own food' hot take. Sure, for occasional fresh herbs or a few veggies. Nobody is growing to their entire caloric intake in an apartment or on a balcony.

Well I can see this is going to be my guiding ethos until this whole shit show presidency is over bc the Dems certainly aren’t helping

New York AG Tish James ends with a mic drop:

AG JAMES says she and other state AGs are suing to stop Trump's illegal freeze of essential funds. "Our law suit will seek a court order to immediately stop OMB policy to preserve funding."

The relief I feel that hack *** *** did not get a directing nom

No Other Land officially Oscar nominated with no US distribution. Someone release this film properly!

Challengers score you will always be famous
