Turning on the Shout Factory MST3K channel while stoned and coming in right at the tip-top of MANOS THE HANDS OF FATE is true Universe Smiling Down On Me shit

vince gilligan shaved his moustache and i can tell you right now it would take me like ten years to figure out clark kent is superman. who the fuck is that

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

I mean, SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE was released 18 years after WALK HARD

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

we gotta stop with the tiny microphones. get a full size mic like an ADULT. you look like you’re at tea with a mouse

One of the right wing's top cultural initiatives was trying to destroy the idea that assholery deserves shame and we'll have to reverse that. "I'm just expressing an opinion I'm entitled to." Ok but you're an asshole. "I'm simply doing a business practice that technically isn't illegal." Ok. Asshole

I wanna make this shirt, but I'm pretty sure I'll get cease and desisted

Friends, this will be a stretch, but reach into the very depths of your imagination and envision giving a single shit about this

Abel Gance's nearly 100 year old NAPOLEON sold out Film Forum last weekend.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Boy Eli Roth isn’t too bright huh

dora.nyc this is OUTSTANDING. super navigatable directory for food distros, resources. and easy to remember because it’s like the explorer but also— directory of resources & aid

Making this the 🧵 for publicity appearances for POPCORN DISABILITIES. Be sure to bookmark to find out where I'm going to be in promoting the book and the various great people who have allowed me to talk about the movie this month.

I mean Janeane in TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS is kinda the gold standard for this

Watch this, thank me later

The new Dylan bootleg set is great but man is it a year late. Woulda been such a good companion (antidote?) to that shitty movie

One big lesson from Mamdani's victory: Don't be afraid of billionaires. Make billionaires afraid of you. Take them on, don't back down. Billionaires from Musk on down used all their tricks and failed. Democrats are trained to lust after billionaire money, but courage has tremendous value.

If you haven't time to cancel Paramount Plus

So, there’s a Republican president, then

Never in human history has there been a human being less capable of taking the fucking L, my god

Flights are being cancelled. Food assistance is suspended. Government employees are going without pay. But priorities are being taken care of:

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I totally forgot this. I guess I wrote it off as an obvious lie and just didn't bother with it lmao.

“And if an employee is within two feet of a customer, they must bat their eyes coquettishly and start to undress.”

The woman in ONE BATTLE who asks Bob if he’s had his insulin is the best one-scene actor of the year

The easiest political layup for Democrats in recent memory. That’s even compared to a lot of other easy layups.

God, put every one of these dipshits directly into my veins, this is like porn

One of the things that kills me about all this is that it’s just, like, maybe ten guys.

This is even more delightful than I'd heard.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

“The way Trier brings this story and these characters together, the manner in which he weaves a seemingly irreparable rupture into a story of harmony and understanding, feels like something akin to a miracle,” @jasondashbailey.com writes of ‘Sentimental Value’: crookedmarquee.com/review-senti...

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Decided that it'd be fun to watch Only Murders in the Building with my kids and I'd forgotten about this line. My youngest was like wait what's that mean and my oldest looked like he wanted to kill himself. It's still fun tho, all finger-fucking aside.

With Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein' streaming on Netflix tomorrow, I spotlighted another thoughtful, sophisticated (and underseen) 'Frankenstein' adaptation for @crooked-marquee.bsky.social: The 1973 TV movie 'Frankenstein: The True Story.' #filmsky #moviesky
