Watching Personal Shopper on Criterion 24/7 on the Criterion Channel app, because why not? I LOVE this film.

KK is why I have Rogue One and Andor in my life. I love them. As far as I’m concerned, she’ll be missed.

I loved the Stranger Things finale, particularly the epilogue. In fact, the entire fifth season is worth that epilogue. It was incredibly honest and well executed. Bravo to all involved with the finale, the season, and the entire series. I will miss these characters.

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've got more to see before the year's over, but right now, I'd honestly say everything in my top 100 is worth seeing. I'm still trying to fine tune the order of things, but it's been such a good year for movies, folks. letterboxd.com/drewmcweeny/...

At this point, it’s going to be hard to believe any of it. It’s been too long.

Thing I was not expecting: a 4-star review of Predator: Badlands from Matt Zoller Seitz; he calls it “an exceptional sci-fi action thriller with memorable characters, beautiful and terrifying animals (and plants), a structurally airtight script…” [rogerebert.com]

Ringing in 30 years of the 1995 neo-noir techno-thriller Strange Days, Xuanlin Tham looks back on the rage and contradictions of Kathryn Bigelow’s complex masterwork. boxd.it/2MY

Donnie Darko was released 24 years ago today 🐰

Being poor is very expensive.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is my favorite novel. That said, I did not go into @realgdt.bsky.social’s film expecting it to become my favorite film, nor even my favorite del Toro film. Alas, the film, even with its many changes, remains an incredibly faithful adaptation and one of the 2025’s best.

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

Got my tickets!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this: The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural.

Just thinking about how ANDOR is, against all odds, one of the defining pieces of political art for capturing the mood and tenor of our moment for no particular reason this morning.

THEY LIVE (1988)

To experience Chloe Zhao's HAMNET is to fall in love, to be pulverized by the grand emotions that make us alive. buff.ly/PwRuvut

Freedom of speech is not you simply saying what you want. It’s also others saying things back to you. Criticizing you. Being rude. Being correct. Being wrong. Be smart. Being stupid. It’s not one-sided. It’s frustrating and annoying and infuriating sometimes, but that’s freedom.

JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH follows its strong box office run with feature-laden offerings on 4K-UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD. filmobsessive.com/film/film-fe...

I’m an English professor, but I hate grammar police. I care more about what is being said than how. That said, basics are necessary to communicate. (And no, that’s not contradictory.) If I can understand what someone is saying, I don’t need their grammar to be perfect. Plus, people make mistakes.

I went into The Sixth Sense knowing the ending (someone at school talked about it). I called the ending to The Usual Suspects pretty much right away when I first saw it. Twist endings rarely succeed with me, but I don’t care. At all. A great film is a great film to me.

DUCK AMUCK (1953)

Apparently Guillermo Del Toro has ruined Frankenstein by… being relatively faithful to the source material. Oh my.

Being hired to write 5 essays for this extraordinary boxset was a huge honor. This Spooky SZN just got a little more special for Halloween fans, with this set & “Horror in Haddonfield” both coming out!

I literally never stopped buying CDs.

This was sooo good. Highly recommended.

I can't wait to take this particular eyebath this fall.

I'm watching MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING on Bravo and those motherfuckers cut out the Paul Giamatti scene and that does not FLY in this household. Here's a piece I wrote about that scene for Autostraddle last year:

It’s here!!! Can’t wait, @andrewgrevas.bsky.social!

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?
