not sure if i have gay guy pop fan blindness or what, but it feels like "midnight sun" is an early contender for song of the summer. like, i truly see its popularity just getting bigger and bigger in the lead up to the summer (and the emergence of the "stateside" remix is only gonna help)

anyway, i looked good at work today

Rich people used to be patrons of the arts, building extravagant theaters to show movies, theatre, and opera. Now they’re annoying business majors with zero creativity or capacity for taste, and I hope one day they all realize how pitiful they are

oh how i miss you every day. gone too soon💔

I can't emphasize enough that the idea of a Paramount-WB merger producing 30-40 movies a year is an absurd fiction. First WB will become the "classy" label within Par (which is only about Rescue Rangers, Scream and existing IP). Then it will become the specialty or streaming label. Then it will die.

I understand the instinct to donate to orgs that are helping trans folks flee red states but let's not forget about the orgs that are still fighting for trans folks in red states.

Tapping the sign

For those who are hesitant about the validity of this or thinking it’s limited to major cities, I’ll say that I eavesdropped on some teenagers in a Barnes & Noble when I was visiting my suburban home town in Texas a few months ago, and one said, “Yeah, DVDs are back in, I’m so happy,” so I have hope

Last night I went to the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social to see LIFE WITHIN THE LENS, a rich programme curated by Tyler Balentine that featured seven shorts by Black creatives. Read my thoughts on the night via @ebertvoices.bsky.social

underrated aspect of this: some kids might get to see special features about how movies are made

As someone who’s been collecting Criterion for about a decade, I won’t lie, it’s pretty fun to watch studios during awards season go “You know what would entice voters? A very nice Blu-ray edition” variety.com/2026/film/ne...

I will eat Cheez-Its til the day I die

This is a really good debate format for like 50 different reasons, but especially at this moment. There's a lot of equivocating over stuff that is not that complicated.

the way there’s a complete other pop culture bc i’ve literally never heard a song from this man 😭

One more reason my soul shrivels up every time I hear someone say "I just used chatgpt to ____"

Chicago’s Hottest Club is the all-day screening of the seven-hour 1968 Russian screen adaptation of War and Peace at the Gene Siskel Film Center

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money. And he was still threatening to kill someone.

Not to be the exact type of person that I am, but I am now the proud owner of VHS copies of all four of my @letterboxd.social top four films! 📼

Mia Starr out-of-drag looks like he would’ve been Angel in a touring production of RENT in 2004, I love it

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Starting to think we might see a Picture/Director split this year,,,

Also speaking of musicals that were completely shut out, The Testament of Ann Lee is truly MAGNIFICENT, and I cannot believe that it was completely shut out (especially for Amanda Seyfried's transcendent performance)

First Knives Out movie so far to miss a screenplay nomination, and I thought this one was stronger than the last 😭

complete Wicked shut out is CRAZY, like what a fall from grace!

DELROY LINDO!!!! :D

Good morning, fellow Oscars obsessives

What phase of the relationship is telling my boyfriend that one of my pandemic activities was learning the “Rain on Me” choreo?

The gaslighting is not just off the charts - it's in whole another galaxy. But, this is also a sign of desperation. He knows. They know - except for their MAGA core just watching their edited frames, everyone else knows the objective reality.
