Everyone on Widow’s Bay is so goddamn GOOD

To my previous post—I expect Long Island will go fully red again in the midterms and again I wildly gesture at the TRASH Dem options like Gillen and Suozzi. They pulled shady shit during primary petitions to boot her progressive opponents as if “vote blue no matter who” is a strategy. It’s not.

Laura Gillen wants to be a Republican so bad. She‘s going to lose her seat and then become a Fox News commentator, mark my words. (She spent the fall making appearances on Fox to fear monger against Zohran)

And a surprise @connorratliff.bsky.social !

Started Widow’s Bay because I keep hearing great things + Katie Dippold and as a bonus there’s Jeff Hiller 👏

Do all these boomers trying to shill for AI in front of *stadiums* of booing graduates have a humiliation kink? Why are there so many? This is giving James Acaster’s bit on Harry Potter TV casting announcements. The reactions are gonna be the same! youtu.be/vQ4ATsyD4hA?...

Is it too late to convince LucasFilm that instead of releasing The Mandelorian and Grogu in theaters, they just put Andor’s “One Way Out” or “The Eye” on big screens instead? I am ready to give them IMAX money for literally any large Andor repeat over new Mando

Someone whose name I don’t know right now who, when cast, I will discover I remember fondly in a smaller role in a largely British project. Also, they’ve got well reviewed theatre work.

And I will be seated

Love finding out that a denial of a service I AM covered for with my podiatrist‘s office was because “the person in the [insurance] chat said it wasn’t covered…” babe, that’s not a person. (They finally spoke to a person and got the approval I assured them I had all along 🫠)

If I had a nickel for every time a Succession actor starred in a sheep-centric movie that made me cry…

Need whomever is in charge of paying for Instagram ads for Book of Mormon to cut that funding asap because I promise you the reason folks are looking that show up right now is not about buying tickets

As not a baseball watcher, I am so glad the Mets stopped picking on all my friends

Beyond excited

Watching Beef because Cailee Spaeny and Carey Mulligan facing off is a dream team of my faves

Never work on my birthday, even if I have no plans, no thank you.

I met Jim Downey on the way to my podiatrist because NYC is magical

A trio of people triaging a 25 year old movie I have a soft spot for, I think we fixed it.

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

NYC being so cold I have to get my winter coat BACK out on Rex Manning Day is so rude.

We shouldn't all be forced to live in this episode of The Twilight Zone constantly. This is no way to live.

I know I’m a biased sample but I think about Harley Quinn’s egg sandwich more than every other element of the DCEU combined

Yeah it’s Monday and I am still on this—I can’t believe we got The Bastard Seagull and “We Talkin’ TV?” on the same night on both sides of the pond #SNL #SNLUK

Share a gif from a horror movie you love.

#SNLUK being such a delight is a great thing. Loving this cast.

Strangely, ‘The Drama’ and ‘Good Luck, Have Fun, Don‘t Die’ have more in common than one might think

#SNL I need to stop forgetting how much I enjoy Jack White’s music

Doing a Mad Men rewatch starting last month has been a great decision for my evenings

Idk man, if I were interrupting Survivor to ramble about a war you started that no one wants, I wouldn’t utter the words Iraq or Vietnam

moon's haunted.

When you wake Daddy

Idk, if you’re going to set a lot of pivotal scenes in the woods at night maybe make them visually legible.

Attempting to check out “Something Very Bad is Going to Happen” on Netflix but this whole damn show is nearly impossible to see. This post remains undefeated (who is the source!?)

And she’s still alive because The Bourne Stuntacular is canon

Resurrect! Beni! I DON’T CARE HOW

Make another Ready or Not movie, add Kaitlin Olson as a secret older third sister, her Dee Reynolds screams could give Samara Weaving a run for her money. But also I just really like these movies.

It really is so nice on dvds when the credits just run and run and you don’t have to scramble for a remote to stop an autoplay or mute an ad or TELL US WHAT YOU THOUGHT or or or

Project Hail Mary came out today, Peaky Blinders movie hit streaming too but I had a migraine so what I am saying is I watched the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy instead with alternate hot and cold compresses on my head. I can’t prove it helped, but I do feel marginally less bad.

I just found out that there’s a Rod Serling doc premiering at SXSW (produced by Leonardo DiCaprio!) and I am supposed to just go to bed? With this level of cinematic excitement? Get that film to NYC, asap please

This week I have to pivot from Oscar/best Picture prognosticating to recording a podcast about Monkeybone. It’s all cinema, folks.

The Oscars are not too long for someone simultaneously scoring 44 oscar ballots I will tell you that much

The biggest suspense for me this Oscar Sunday rn is on my ballot amongst friends the Best Nepo Baby Performance is currently a dead heat between Jack Quaid and Lewis Pullman

These pterosaurs can fuck RIGHT off

Yelling at this Netflix Dinosaurs show like I am watching a sporting event.

My entire reels feed is ballet and opera pros dunking on that Chalamet clip and my god, they’re all so talented.

immortalized in print media, a trick that will make me buy your issue every time, Empire (Lord of the Rings retrospective doesn’t hurt though)

Between Reggie Dinkins and Hoppers, it’s a great time to be a Bobby Moynihan fan

I would have liked to see Bill & Ted 3 with a crowd :(
