I was so happy to see him.

I am obsessed with the speaking voice of Buck Martinez.

I ran into a friend on the street today who managed to get the last available seat for one of the final 10pm screenings of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER in 70mm IMAX. I asked him if he liked it and he just laughed and said, "I mean, we're so lucky to be alive when PTA is making movies."

It's Finally Time to Give Pizza Its Due

Quite a headline www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Vern is maybe the biggest Parker fan there is, and he's 100% right about the way the character comes across in PLAY DIRTY. The backstory stuff with Parker -- a huge divergence from the cold-blooded, present tense tone of the books -- made me think of this passage from Sidney Lumet's Making Movies.

Man, I love Shane Black, but the more I think about PLAY DIRTY, the less I like it.

what you fail to see mr pope is going to live in my head forever

I just found out today that Russell Vought is yet another member of the Trump Administration who, improbably, is younger than me. (This man is 49.)

The ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER post-screening Q&A that Spielberg did with Paul Thomas Anderson is up and it's very sweet, probably 75% of it is just Spielberg describing cool things that happen in the movie and PTA laughing.

“I have seen movies, short films, completely created by artificial intelligence,” Herzog said. “Story and acting and everything, they look completely dead. There are stories, but they have no soul. They are empty and soulless.” Get their ass, Werner.

"Holy shit, I remember the backlash I got for appearing in Alvin and the Chipmunks! You would’ve thought that I had taken money from a bunch of people responsible for funding Al Qaeda!"

Terence Stamp wanting to go out with this, then pushing to make sure he did, is yet another reason why he's one of the coolest actors who ever lived

RIP Kaleb Horton kalebhorton.ghost.io/2025-so-far/

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

When I finally saw the clip, I thought it was funny that he didn't just laugh it off and walk over to the one RIGHT NEXT TO IT that was still working perfectly. He'd rather suffer and be a whiny little bitch.

A sequence so perfectly executed, on every conceivable level, that it makes me cry. RIP Claudia Cardinale.

RIP Claudia Cardinale The beating heart of Once Upon a Time in the West. This scene in which she beautifully plays off against Jason Robards & Charles Bronson is just exquisite. Those wonderfully expressive eyes. youtu.be/Q5gT6O9FF8Q?...

Anna Karina - BOTD in 1940

My man David Byrne released a new album this month

Brendan Carr is 46 years old. I thought he was in his 60s, but he's almost a decade younger than me. Conservatism ages these people like parmesan. www.wired.com/story/brenda...

I just found this quote in an old interview with Tom Noonan about his writing career, and now I need to know what other screenplays this character wound up in.

"Charlie Kirk should have been murdered privately" girl what

Once again thinking about Macaulay Culkin walking into the Parisian café where the wifi password was “Macaulay Culkin” and the owner saying “I knew you’d come here someday”

I need more folks to know that Brooke Smith of Silence of the Lambs fame (she's instructed to put the lotion in the basket) was a member of the 1980s New York Hardcore scene and a photographer who documented that scene prolifically. She has a book called Sunday Matinee, which is absolutely stunning.

Channing Tatum gets it: "I mean, Toronto is dope.... when I worked here and got to live here, riding a bike around was like my favorite thing on the weekends. You just sort of mob around, everyone's on bikes, everyone's sorta you just go to restaurants and bars"

Everyone's at TIFF but at least I got to see a pristine 35mm print of OUT OF SIGHT at the Revue with my wife. Perfect evening.

This is more than any of us could have hoped for.

meta ai trying to figure it out

Why yes, I will be schlepping up to Vaughan to see this in 70mm IMAX like I did with Dune 2 & Sinners. As an added bonus, going to that theatre is like walking into a '90s time machine. (It's even shaped like a spaceship.)

Just picked this up at Vinegar Syndrome, excited to rewatch. Pitch black satire, strange, mesmerizing, visually striking, with a very committed Patrick Warburton not caring whether you like him or not. He's sort of the film noir heel version of Goodman in BARTON FINK, the sitcom guy going dark.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

EDDINGTON 2: NANAIMO BOOGALOO

Your only choices for how to feel about the McDonald’s app are to either love it or acknowledge that you are on the inevitable path to lovin’ it.

Was he last seen at that Make-A-Wish kid cabinet meeting? Because that would be funny.

Nirvana at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1993, and the scalper's ticket I bought was $35.

IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

Oh, it's simple, the Boomers got their $10k college education and their $60k home then decided to pull up the ladders and rip up the roots of the American dream by putting in charge the worst people they could find, such as Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump.

A funny thing about people who watch a movie that does something unconventional and then say "I didn't understand why they did _____" or "I don't get what this part meant" is that if you actually ask them about it and they take a moment to engage with it, they usually figure it out pretty quickly.

Meanwhile over at The Other Place, Pierre Poilievre is posting rejected taglines from ROBOCOP.

ActiveTO was a vital part of many mental health routines during the pandemic, and it's not like we need it any less now.
