I don’t think children should be smacked but “soft parents” need to be punched.

I hear they’re gonna take away all the seats in the cinemas so all the dads can stand just a few steps from the doorway with their arms crossed watching this.

Nature is healing

Take a thousand naked pictures of yourself now, in her memory

We should let Ken Burns beat Darren Aronofsky with a chair

I fear I have entered my adult Lego era

“Death comes for us all,” says the 86-year-old actor, in the voice of a character he has played for over 20 years and who has already died multiple times, to an 85-year-old actor playing a character he has also portrayed for over 20 years and who has also died multiple times.

Apart from being a tired and boring trope that should have died out 10 years ago, choosing now to do a gritty, subversive “he’s not a hero” take for the champion of the poor against tyranny who fights for the redistribution of wealth is certainly a choice.

A new year, a new Letterboxd Wrapped #Letterboxd #LetterboxdWrapped #Filmsky

Do I have to have a new year? Can't it be an old one? Sometime in the 90s, maybe.

Lots of discourse about Agamemnon's look in THE ODYSSEY, but I'm just stuck on imagining the voice we'd have gotten from him if Nolan cast Tom Hardy instead.

I don’t know why we’re all still saying that something is “the best thing since sliced bread”. We’ve got sliced bagels now…

more josh o'connor for you

I guess it’s not Christmas unless at least one family member says something completely out of pocket thing to upset you in the morning.

Even if I didn’t already think that any writer doing a dedicated “worst of” list is a hack move - let alone in a publication as major as Variety (that’s the sort of thing you do as a smug, snarky college blogger) - some of those picks just beggar belief.

You’re telling me a turkey made this crown?

If my inbox is so full, why are you sending me more emails telling me about it?

It’s a WHAT museum?

Stuck around to kiss Josh O’Connor and then made his exit. I respect it.

We’re getting closer to the real end of year wrap up… #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Letterboxd #Filmsky

Inside you, there are two wolves: Tony Kushner and David Koepp

"written by david koepp" can be as much of a threat of a bad movie as it is a promise of a good time and truly there is no way to tell which one you're gonna get until it's too late

We're untold levels of back. The Koepp of it all has me a little worried, but BLACK BAG has proven he's still got the juice, and after all the great performances Josh O'Connor has delivered this year, going into 2026 with a Spielberg film and a Joel Coen film has my stock in him paying off again.

Whether it takes from EYE OF THE BEHOLDER or LONG HALLOWEEN, if rumours of THE BATMAN: PART II doing Dent / Two-Face are true, it means we’re still stuck in the quagmire of Batman films focusing on the same five characters and like THE BATMAN, no matter how good the craft, I’m so uninterested.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

I’ll forever think about how Harry and Sally were supposed to stay separated but Rob met Michele while making the film and so believed in love again that he changed the ending and gave us one of the most enduring romantic films ever.

It really can’t be overstated how remarkable Reiner’s 80s and 90s were. Imagine trying your hand at directing a new genre every year and delivering defining entries in them, giving great performances elsewhere, and having your production company attached to the biggest US show of the decade.

What is it with this year and artistic and pop cultural icons passing in bizarre, horrific, or tragic ways?

Josh O’Connor for Saturday Night Live 🥰

Would have killed them to take literally any visual cues from Bilquis Evely’s amazing work on Woman of Tomorrow?

Call me Krypto the way I’ll be barking in the cinema

The Josh O'Connor portrait belongs on my bedroom ceiling

Yakko, Wakko, and Dot evicted from WB water-tower to make way for the kids from Stranger Things

Monopoly laws, my kingdom for some monopoly laws

Nolan should have held off leaving WB for a couple of years because you know sure as shit he’d have walked because of this and sent a message

Goodbye theatrical releases, physical media, and auteur swings. Hello monopolies, algorithmic slop, and the furthering of a dumbed down anti-art society.

I fucking hate being right

The Josh O’Connor effect

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

I need to be inside Troye Sivan* *’s $2.5M 1958 Hollywood Hills home

A lot of discourse around Rolling Stones top films of 2025 list, but real ones know that BLACK BAG deserves to be on there

Not working hard. Not hardly working. A secret third thing… Hard while working.

All the Bond movies leave Prime after today so you have to spend December watching these chilly bastards

Not to be more insufferable than I already am, but it’s 1st December and I’ve already done all my Christmas shopping

Just put my elbow in the marmalade. That's not a euphemism.
