Whamageddon has struck me.

“I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders dependent me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself ‘slightly’ killed.” North by Northwest on 70mm is INCREDIBLE

Power Pack / Young Justice confirmed

Because of the intense peer pressure from @neopifex.bsky.social and his radical, on-point social media posting... I just backed Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Game on @kickstarter.com AND IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cze...

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

I know it is always meant in a nice way, but this is the cruelest thing people tweet at me on a regular basis.

Did you find it? (Spoiler it involves shoving pickles up my nose.)

Awards and lists that pull exclusively from the same pool of 30 films that sent out fyc screeners are completely useless and might as well be compiled by distributors and their PR firms.

Rand Paul: "Secretary Hegseth said he had no knowledge of this and it did not happen. It was fake news. It didn't happen. And then the next day, from the podium of the WH, they're saying it did happen. So either he was lying to us on Sunday or he's incompetent and didn't know what had happened."

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

Tennessee right now in a district that was Trump +22:

This is why I subscribe to Wired. I think you get a free trial. www.wired.com/story/what-i...

credit to NYT for not sanewashing the appalling bigotry we saw today in the WH "Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry."

Everyone involved in this child’s kidnapping is going to hell.

i'd say the midterm-level turnout for a special election is even more ominous than the swing

also: a lot of creeps still aren't wrapping their heads around the fact that COVID is a huge ongoing mass disabling event.

Me at 22: I like Tarantino's movies and will pore over every interview to get advice on what to watch and be challenged by Tarantino's sometimes heterodox opinions. Me at 52: I like Tarantino's movies.

Me replying to you post

nothing getting between me and James Cameron's 3D space whales

Including Trump, right? RIGHT?

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

this is why i will never give up my circa 2010 dvd boxset of THE WIRE. i don't give a shit about high def for older tv shows, give me the original aspect ratio (need to get my hands on an old simpsons boxset for this reason as well)

If elves wore suits they would definitely all rock this nonsense

Not me weeping reading this XKCD comic xkcd.com/3172/

Load-bearing Huge Wak˜ ∏◊ı˜ Closet

i like the way there's no front door

it is maybe the most politically sophisticated as well? an exploration of the rotten misogyny behind our reactionary moment AND a look at the appeal of leader as stern, cruel father AND a brief against christian nationalism

So, to recap: Washington Post story breaks on Hegseth. Pentagon says fake news. White House confirms the story roughly 12 hours later - and defends it. Press Sec confirms that Hegseth personally ordered the execution of the two stranded men. This isn’t going well.

There's nothing like a film that stops everything and says, "you know what is really important? THIS. THIS is really important." And they're right. This is really important.

70% of this i think is that josh o’connor is a marvelous actor who really carries the thematic and emotional core of the story on his shoulders. there is one particular scene that i actually found genuinely moving.

new knives out is the best of the bunch imo

Got to see David Byrne on tour. Great show!

Very sad to hear about Tom Stoppard. Why can't the good ones live forever?

RIP Tom Stoppard. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead was a formative film for me in high school, something I watched over and over again. Which probably says more about high school me than I'd like.

ah man Stoppard? god damn

Hamnet not quite the same physical ordeal of sobbing the second time through, but equally moving all the same. i get why it rubs people wrong, and there are spots i might’ve advised some toning down, but it’s a beautiful, earthy, generous movie.

You cannot punish your way out of that kind of problem. The only way forward is care.

I keep thinking about the fact that "nearly one-third of the adult working age population [in the US] has a criminal record." With numbers like that, this isn't a problem of individuals. This comes down to what our society calls "crime." www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Imagining a third WICKED movie in this style in which a drunk Galinda raves in private about how if only everyone knew what she knew as she gets angrier and angrier.
