If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is probably my favorite movie of the year so far. It takes such deep understanding of the human condition to make a movie that is this unrelentingly dreadful and stressful and anxiety-inducing and infuriating. 10/10. Met and passed my hyped expectations. #filmsky

Just saw After the Hunt. I get why people are meh on this (it’s bloated, meandering, random annoying soundtrack, lots of thesaurus dialogue that’s trying to be intelligent for the sake of being intelligent, skin deep on a fair amount of its commentary) (1/2) #filmsky

Just finished reading I Who Have Never Known Men and I’m feeling a little crazy. What a disturbing but great read on survival vs. living and what makes a person a person. #booksky

Believe the hype with One Battle After Another. A fabulous movie in so many ways—music and sound, cinematography, humor, characters, themes, performances, wit. It crackles with something special. 10/10 #filmsky

These RaptureTok video are a nice real-time example of how algorithmically-enhanced short-form social media content is literally driving people insane :)

Just finished Bring the House Down by Charlotte Runcie. This one took me a while because I didn’t love it lol. It has some good moments and the main hook of the plot is solid, but unfortunately the protagonist was kind of boring and dragged the story down whenever it started to gain speed. #booksky

Wanted to see HIM for myself and yeah, I can understand why this movie is getting bad reviews. The first act is a good setup with interesting sound design and some clever moments but after that it devolves into… (1/2) #filmsky

Twinless was a very solid 8.5/10 for me, maybe a 9. Funny, pulled you in, made you squirm and made you care about the story. #filmsky

Wrapped up the weekend by finishing The Rachel Incident by Caroline O’Donoghue, a funny and witty coming of age that made me feel like I was living in the year 2010. Also, reading always cures my Sunday scaries without fail. #booksky

Opened the weather app to check how many steps I’ve taken today

The Conjuring: Last Rites was mehhhhh. Not terrible but pretty bland scares and so many constant drawn-out sequences of Lorraine having a psychic vision, like I get it you see demons. 5/10. #filmsky

Lurker is not a perfect movie (it didn’t know how to wrap together its third act) but I thought it was very very good. The obsessive, anxious energy of it all, its commentary on what makes a good friend and not just a butt kisser #filmsky (1/2)

Watching Carol (2015) and every time a character smokes a cigarette having to shotgun a beer.

I feel like there’s a solid chance that I die in an extremely unlucky way from like rabies or something

Posting the scene from Malcolm in the Middle when Hal leads the Lucky Aide employees in a siege against Craig and an employee on a ladder gets pushed down like it’s the Battle of Helm’s Deep

Actual footage of me trying to pay my student loans now that the interest is accruing again

Other people wearing a hat: frames face, adds texture to an outfit, the person looks more muscular Me wearing a hat: a thumb, like he looks like a human thumb, my god, the shape of his forehead, what is that

Just finished reading Open Wide by Jessica Gross. Thought this was going to be a grounded literary dive into obsession and it ended up making me feel insane in a very impressive way. What a trippy read. #booksky

Me scanning my AMC A-list QR code at the theater

Just caught the Shin Godzilla 4K re-release, that was a great way to make a Monday night fun. A very politically-oriented approach to telling a Godzilla story. #filmsky

Weapons is my first 5 star, 10/10 movie for 2025. Scary, hilarious, great camerawork, amazing pacing, and an ending that goes there. There was a moment about 65% in where I thought the writing was gonna fall apart but it ended up tying together well. Cregger is such a talent! Go see it! #filmsky

How I feel when I have adult errands to run on the weekend, giving me a reason to get out of the house

The Naked Gun was very funny and seeing a good slapstick comedy in the theater gave me back some of my childhood joy #filmsky

Together was good if a little predictable with a clunky start. Surprisingly funny. A good entry to the body horror genre. 8/10. #filmsky

Time for bed #dogsofbluesky

Just finished Among Friends by Hal Ebbott. The whole thing is pretty much dripping with observational wisdom and has some great thoughts on resentment but it’s also a little overdone and pretentious lol. #booksky

Oh, Hi! was very well done. Funny and a great example of a small-scale movie with a simple premise that knows how to keep things interesting. 8.5/10. #filmsky

Walking down the aisle to the weird synth song that Caitlyn Geller plays in Camp Rock

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar is an s-tier movie #filmsky

Just finished reading Wanting by Claire Jia and it is easily in my top books for 2025 so far. It has so many great thoughts on ambition and competition and not knowing what you want in life that I wouldn’t know where to start listing them lol. A true 9/10 book that deserves to be read. #booksky

Me, wearing a blanket, stepping outside my apartment to get my food delivery #filmsky

Eddington was a looooot. Darkly, darkly hilarious at times, beautifully stressful most of the time, politically confronting (stole that term from a spoiler-free review I saw this week lol). Feels a little disjointed with a meh tone shift and an ending that dragged, but still an 8/10. #filmsky

Living Saint? Man Goes on Spree of Engaging with Mutuals’ Content to Drive Up His Own Engagement.

Today I swallowed a sharp shard of a chip at a painful angle and for a few seconds I saw God

Sometimes I truly can’t believe this hilarious living thing lives with me in my apartment #dogsofbluesky

Now watching #filmsky

Just finished reading Little Rot by Akwaeke Emezi, what a spiraling, dark, disturbing, unflinching book. It does try a little hard to be heavy, but still manages to pull you into its sordidness. Book number 32 of 2025! #booksky

Superman is an awesome return to form for comic book movies. Colorful, genuinely funny (and not just in the corny quip way, though there is some of that), quirky, and over the top in the right way. #filmsky (1/2)

One of Daphne’s favorite things to do is fall asleep while holding her head up lol #dogsofbluesky

Just saw Jurassic World: Rebirth and yeah, that was one of the movies released in 2025. This movie is so bland and mediocre and hollow that it’s not worth breaking down why lol. 3/10. #filmsky

Once a celebrity reaches a certain level of fame a major telecom company automatically acquires career-ending blackmail information about that celebrity so they’re forced to be in their commercials for the rest of their life.

When a news article I performantively read a few days ago suddenly helps me look smart in a conversation

*clutching the fresh bullet wound in my chest after losing a colonial era duel* “ok unfortunately you kind of ate that”

It’s an evening before a long weekend. The weather is warm and refreshing. You head to your local movie theater for a viewing of the latest release. You sit down in your chair and start to dig into your popcorn and take a first sip of your Icee.…… (1/2) #filmsky

Maybe my least favorite kind of Republican. Like just admit you’re a mean girl why do we pretend this uwu I’m so stwessed voting for evil legislation :(

“Nothing personal,” I say, before lashing out with an extremely personal insult.

Just watched a simple plan. Great movie that takes its premise and goes into a spiral of mistrust and paranoia and bad decisions. 8.5/10. #filmsky

Megan 2.0, how do I put this? Objectively this is not a great movie lol. The ethical commentary on AI is laughably surface-level, its understanding of the international political system is very naive, and the pacing kind of stretches on and on at the end. (1/2) #filmsky

Leaving for the theater in 10 minutes to see campy yassified terminator 2 #filmsky

Saw Elio to distract myself from a potential full-blown war in the Middle East and ended up very impressed by a story about the importance of international cooperation and the need to choose peace over war. A really refreshing original script from Pixar that deserves to be seen in theaters. #filmsky
