“let’s call it a night” it’s dark out, i’m not calling it fucking susan

the big question this raises for me is “what the fuck, bob”

Going to Naples, FL….for reasons. All shall be revealed very soon. But it’s real neat.

curious how the “liberal zionists” feel about this one

I can’t tell you how much safer LaGuardia feels with an untrained heavily armed tacticool bozo pointing at a security desk and saying “uuuhhh go that way”

roger ebert was one of my favorite Types Of Guy: horny freak who actually likes women

your grandparents voting for reagan

EGGHEAD REPUBLIC: A darkly funny gonzo sci-fi headtrip that plays like Tarkovsky took a bunch of molly and decided to get goofy with it. Reporters for a VICE-alike website head into a Forbidden Zone with their scumbag boss, identity and reality bend like pretzels. Wonderful.

Scout is a talent and a prince.

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

One of the most empty-headed talking points that has somehow gained traction is that if critics don’t like a massively popular film/book/album, then critics are pointless and irrelevant. A critic’s job is to offer perspective, not confirm that you have good taste. I often disagree with my faves!

LAST ONE LAUGHING is an example of a concept so brilliant that failure is nearly impossible. Cast it reasonably well and it’s fucking bulletproof. Season 2 started a little slow because there’s no Ayoade figure to play dirty and focus the group, but by the second episode’s Jokers I was a mess.

SWORDFISH may be one of the most rewatchable movies ever made. Every few minutes there’s some new development seemingly unrelated to the last thing, and your mind frantically reaches back for connective tissue. But it’s gone. And it’ll be gone til you throw on SWORDFISH again.

hi, cis folks in NY state! was today a protest day for you? feel recharged? want to take 5-10 minutes & do another achievable thing? the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care in violation of state & city law as an act of overcompliance to trump. tap into the thread to help. ⬇️

MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE: A rather charming contraption, part post-Tarantino crimer, part post-Woo actioner, part sci-fi romp. Marsden and Vaughan are on top form, and it’s a great looking picture. Plus there’s an Oasis needle drop that made me tear up. Nice work, everyone. Really enjoyed this.

my friends veronica and dylan i love my town i love my people

Two things you can always rely on: libs will eventually see that annoying lefties were basically right, and lefties will then start annoying them about new shit which libs will piss and moan about until the next vibe shift. Circle of life, baby.

Woke January 6th feels sort of inevitable at this point.

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

“Another No Kings protest? What’s the point?” There are two points actually: 1. Sincerely and deeply fuck the ruling class and the capital that insulates them from consequences. Fuck them. 2. Millions of people out in the streets? Shit man. That makes me feel way less alone and powerless.

You know those “almost” movies? The ones where you’re like “don’t do it!…*fuck*” One of mine is Farah Khan’s HAPPY NEW YEAR, which has a bulletproof premise, great songs and megawatt star power. And the script just keeps leaning into misogyny, homophobia and racism. Makes it all feel so sour.

just wrote “good morning” and my phone autocorrected it to “void opening” chat should i be worried

First five songs in my library that came up on shuffle: 1. Changes (Santa Monica ‘72 Live) - David Bowie 2. Face Like a Frog: Suite - Danny Elfman 3. The Projects - Handsome Boy Modeling School 4. Idioteque - Radiohead 5. The Cage - Elton John What’s your first 5?

I think I’m ready for some action movies that take themselves seriously.

Hooooly fuck this is like a wishlist in a box.

If there’s one thing that mellows me out, it’s the sight of a guy with a gun strapped to his chest telling me he gets twitchy around Halal carts.

That “Army” needle drop in NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE hits like a shot of oxygen. Immediate great mood.

Every media outlet that went anti-woke ended up eating shit because if people want hideous right wing slop there are places that actually know how to do it right. CBS News was never gonna be a hit of the hard stuff. WaPo was never gonna do a story about how trans immigrants speak in Satanic code.

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

I simply don't believe you. anyone who wants to talk to me is mad at me - that's just science.

FIRST KNIGHT: I’m extremely stoned and very receptive to a movie with tons of Dramatic Staring against a medieval backdrop. The score truly believes this is the grandest, most epic tale ever to blaze across the screen and honestly that goes a long way. Ormond hive rise up. Put me in a great mood.

a top 5 movie genre is Dumbass Early 2000s Technothriller

Even if you (general you) will vote blue no matter who, I don’t understand the reason you’d trumpet that well before primaries. Surely there are things you’d like from candidates? You shouldn’t match up to the used car salesman and tell him “I’m desperate and suggestible! Let’s get started.”

I will not vote for Gavin Newsom because I do not view erasing trans people from public life as a “moderate” position. There’s plenty of time to find a real candidate. I suggest the Vote Blue No Matter Who coalition worry more about that and less about hectoring the people most likely to be harmed.

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

My guess: AI tools will find a place in filmmaking for stuff like like previz and color correction. Sped-up workflow, basically. The same way word processors found a place in literature. It was never capable of replacing actual artists, and anyone who bought that pitch is an absolute donkey.

hollywood is finished you guys, the future is here *touches earpiece* sorry i’m hearing that apparently hollywood is not finished and the future is dogshit

MINORITY REPORT is such a fucking flex. Spielberg just stepping on the gas and barreling through setpiece after setpiece. You figure he can’t top that first escape (which goes on longer than almost any action scene I can recall and keeps springing A+ gags), and then you get the spider sequence.

weird since they love masks

One of my most cherished movie memories is when someone insisted on showing me FINAL FANTASY VII: ADVENT CHILDREN and I got so confused that my brain shut off and I fell asleep.

the notion of mining my personal life for Content makes me want to brush my teeth with a shotgun

remember to arrive extra early in case you get shot in the face on the way to your gate

Oh this is a really important win. So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting? This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

absolutely brilliant that the big pitch for trump’s reelection was “shit will cost less and no new wars”

I know we’re used to it. Numbed, even. But this useless fucking asshole just shouldn’t be president.

Made in a dark time--Ricky Wilson was already sick--but resolute in its belief that the world can be better, sillier, more fab. "I wanna be the first lady of infinity, wanna be the nicest guy on earth." The title is key. Somewhere in the future, they dance. youtu.be/aqtAzLC0Bfo?...

Pretty amazing to direct one of the most successful softcore movies of all time when your name is Just Jaeckin.

samara weaving is really good at being the john mcclane of laurie strodes
