Apparently the film contains 42 uninterrupted minutes of Jake Sully trying and failing to start a fire with flint. Every time a family member tries to help him, he says “Shut up-shut up-shut up, I know how to do this.”

If this cracks into conservative media spaces, that’ll be good— a decent chunk of Trump voters still want to believe he’s an anti-establishment vox populi sort. Some of that segment fractured in the summer after he told folks to get over the Epstein thing, and are open to off-ramps.

“Childhood’s End,” and its quiet assertion that “the stars are not for man.” I think about that all the time. It was such a surprise to find that in a genre I’d known mostly as exploratory and aspirational. And it was humbling, a reminder of our smallness and transience.

omfg had absolutely NO idea that Rohan Campbell (the highlight of “Halloween Ends”) plays the loser Ramones-looking Ricky in “The Monkey” who becomes obsessed with the Monkey because it reminds him of his dad. Shout-out to an actor nailing all kinds of creepy weirdos.

What movie villain is a horrible "person", but an absolute joy to watch on screen?

I still maintain that J.J., the Duffers, the Russos, and Tarantino all have the exact same problem in that they obsess over the surface level elements of their hyperfixations so much that they completely miss why any of it matters

RIP T-Rex, you would’ve loved Billy Idol.

It has been one of the greatest honors of my whole life to play a tiny part in helping people remember World War I. Because we should never forget. It matters, and it always will. #ArmisticeDay #WWI #history

I understand the logic of moving the plot of Frankenstein from 1818 to 1857, but it opens the enormous plothole that in a world where trains exist, Victor wouldn’t be obsessed with creating life, he’d be obsessed with trains

Cast her as Bond, you cowards.

Let me run the Bond franchise and I’ll blow him up at the end of every movie. Maybe several times within each movie if it feels right. He’ll be back the next movie (or scene) and nobody will talk about it, but man are we gonna explode that guy a LOT.

Start with a fun action scene with a new actor playing Bond. Maybe have him open by saying something pithy and meta, “Where was I again?” Gonna start calling this “Blading,” when a studio spends years obsessing over a property that’s actually really damn simple.

- No crunch for employees. - Robust accessibility options. - An enormous buxom fairy that non-consensually drags you down into her flower pool. - Invertable Y-axis.

Don't normally advocate reposting from X, but "whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation" is some Oscar Wilde level shit-talking.

Social media connects us to creatives in such a way that I suspect a lot of us are eager to attach caveats and conditions to our dislike of a piece of art, to avoid offending, and I can’t help feeling a touch of jealousy when I see Ebert and Siskel absolutely destroying a shit movie…

Am I terminally online or does it feel like the Dems are just deteriorating in real time?

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city. I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing. We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

It’s grotesque & maybe too much but there’s an infamous 45-50 page sequence from From Hell where Jack The Ripper butchers Mary Kelly but it’s a compression of 2 hours but you still feel the prolonged length & the brutality in every action & wouldn’t have the same impact if edited using jump cuts.

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.

- “The Borderlands” (2013)

It’s become more known that Schumer has a made-up family he talks to for guidance, the Baileys, but I really think it’s crazy the news doesn’t talk about this more often. Like, our legislature has a party leader who just straight **made up some imaginary friends.** That is literally insane.

Honestly there was a solid seven or eight months there where I’d forgotten Nate Silver even existed. That was nice.

Fellow Californians, if you want to register your disgust with last night’s Senate vote, I was able to leave a voicemail for Senator Schiff here: (818) 303-3841 New Burbank office, so I guess they haven’t gotten the memo yet to fill their voicemail so they don’t have to listen to constituents. 🇺🇸

This is a civil war. Lincoln had McClellan, Hooker and Pope. He junked them for Grant, Sherman and Sheridan We have Schumer, Durbin and Cortez Masto in our leadership. Act Blue, lose my fucking number until we're clean of generals who can't fight or discipline the troops. No cash for this shit.

This is a solid spooky flick, recommended. (Also, note to self, scope out more flicks directed by Yam Laranas.)

Chasing down “Presence” with one of my faves of 2025. Little existential silliness after the dourness.

This feels like the first real miss for me, 2025-horror-wise. Acting felt stilted and at times wholly unconvincing (the psychic in particular). The camera technique is neat, but only up to a point. Callina Liang makes for a likable and empathetic lead, but the melancholy sometimes plays more… (1/2)

n(e)w: “Presence” Doubt this will be more frightening than the current Senate shitshow, but we’ll see.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Are you a yes on removing Schumer as minority leader & replacing him with someone who will strip committee assignments from defector Dems? Covering your ass with a no vote means nothing if Democrats cannot reinstate caucus discipline.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Her name is still TBD, but here's our new sweetie. (So far the names under consideration are: Vanta, Wednesday, Shelley... None of these are quite right, I'll know the right one when it shows itself.) She's come out of hiding & is playful, very affectionate, and a little insane. So, perfect. :)

Basically: I think that people who are like 'eh it's not a bad deal' are also not understanding the current stakes of what Trump and co. are doing, and the cost of not using every piece of leverage you have.

These fucking losers. I am so fucking mad.
