hi did you know in addition to TheGamer, Valnet owns Screenrant Movieweb Collider CBR Polygon and more? They treat writers like trash and are a major force in making the internet worse

I don’t want to praise it too much, but the first Sonic movie is more visually and narratively coherent than at least half of the marvel movies I’ve ever seen.

The Bride is on hbo. Where do people generally land on that one a few months later? Interesting misfire?

Spent a few months translating subtitles from Spanish to English for VESTIDAS DE AZUL, which is both a sequel to VENENO in how it follows Valeria Vegas writing her new book, and a fictionalized history of the making of trans doc VESTIDA DE AZUL. Hope y'all enjoy. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Who wants to hire me to write about the casual, accepting attitude to queerness in the films at Cannes this year?

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

CHICAGO! If you missed last weekend's screening of "Revelations" at the @davistheater.bsky.social you've got another shot on Sun, May 24 at Doc Films! docfilms.org/calendar/

I know some people find this film irredeemably ugly as a whole, but I love it and I think Towers is fantastic in it.

looking for a few more folks to talk to for a story i'm working on about tamagotchi. has tamagotchi influenced your games or art, even going beyond the creature care genre? hit me up here or [email protected] ✨

Between Friendship and now Widow’s Bay, Andrew DeYoung is really on a run with directing memorable drug trips.

If you're a Democrat and you confirm someone who refuses to unequivocally say "Joe Biden won the 2020 election," you should lose your job.

🧵 I've posted the votes for "Best Film Score of All Time" by 62 composers from the BBC Music article. I don't (yet) know if the rows are by order of preference, or just "top 5" in random order. Some of the choices are at turns fascinating, head-scratching and mind-boggling. 1/* #filmsky #musicsky

This month I got to act in a super-indie film in a way I’ve never had the opportunity to do before and it was thrilling and humbling. The film just wrapped and now money is needed for post-production! There’s so much crazy shit going on right now but if you can, throw in a buck? gofund.me/0eb5c84a2

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

Is there anything I can watch that would tell me whether I would like or hate The Napa Boys?

this is the last photo on my parents' video birdfeeder before it was mysteriously destroyed we may never know what happened

I hardly ever do these, but it’s been a pretty good week for movies.

Might need to make room for Blue Heron and La Chimera on here after this week.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

A city program that deploys social workers instead of law enforcement officers to non-violent mental health incidents is expanding citywide. blockclubchi.co/4dlULW6

I have my ticket for Blue Heron later this afternoon. Really looking forward to this one.

My mom just asked me about the new Michael Jackson documentary that she heard was really good.

TikTok removed my video about Trump’s moms.gov. Interestingly, that happened after it got two anti-abortion comments. Guess I know who reported it!

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

There's a berserk new musical album from Eric Andre's Blarf project that oscillates between orchestral film score motifs, powerviolence interludes, and musique concrete experiments. blarf.bandcamp.com/album/film-s...

This is an amazing piece of trivia if it's not apocryphal.
