The Boyars are bad but the Tsar... the Tsar is very good

Holy shit they were just playing Radiohead at this rave

TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE: Genuinely an ecstatic sensory experience most of the way through, and I'm always down for a movie that has something to say about the Batailles-ish interplay between sex and religion. Enjoyed it much more than The Brutalist.

Cloud, The Shrouds and Caught by the tides are available to watch on the Criterion Channel in our Fresh From Theaters collection.

Whiskey comes form the Irish Gaelic word for "water of life", isn't that beautiful? Haha I'm drunk

I wrote about my new habit of compulsively rewatching POSSESSION, and how awesome it feels to love a popular movie in the exact same way as everyone else: open.substack.com/pub/cchelmet...

A Brett Ratner production

Idea: Red Autumn SPD but it's for the Dems between January 2020 and November 2024

Ham just doubled in price, this is an anti-Ponyo economy

I'm reading more about monkeys after Primate and tbh I think I could beat a chimp in a fight. Not a gorilla. But a small chimp? Maybe.

PRIMATE: that was a distinctly unfunky monkey

Oh hey the Rams won neat

saw marty supreme

Time for a new game of "Is it a head cold or the Santa Ana winds"

"Go to a dance class", they said. "It's a beginner class", they crowed. "They definitely won't record you and post it online" they opined.

NO OTHER CHOICE: rules, rocks, owns bones, delivers, cuts the mustard, various other statements indicating quality

My girl Mango finally stepped it up 🥹🥹

Lol is this why like 50 police cruisers just went down Sunset

Goth twunk with eyeliner next to me at the gym fuck stay cool stay cool

I will not be irony poisoned. Irony poisoning is the mind killer.

"So stick to the cratur, the best thing in nature For sinkin' your sorrows and raisin' your joys! Oh, what botheration! No dose in the nation Can give consolation like poitín, me boys!"

Oh this is the perfect lens through which to read Brave New World isn't it

We've all talked about the vibe shift already but it still feels pretty notable that we went from a timid and politics-free 2025 Oscars to the host openly calling CBS News a propaganda outfit in the 2026 Golden Globes.

Should I watch the Canadian yaoi show.

“We don’t make content. We make television and cinema.” The toast was “to resilience, to passion, to creativity.” /2

Didn't get a photo but a tour bus passed the protest and we all waved lol.

God bless my girl Mandy, her outfit ideas are so creative and the intro Pokémon nurse look was so good but she gets obsessed with one specific aspect and then neglects the rest.

Uni’s danger mode! Run away!!

I really hope this cat gets boots

With the accent it's "dick sproing"

Can't believe I have to sell my labour in exchange for income tomorrow smdh

Back on the grind

I would buy Rupaul as the villain of a Saw movie

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.

Guys SONG SUNG BLUE is good

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH - People will really try to gaslight you into thinking these movies are bad and then you watch them and there's a dude calling a whale his brother right before another dude takes out a dragon with a shotgun ballistae.

Boutta watch Big Jim's latest and hang out with my friends Eywa and Payakan be back in three hours

Seyfried is a little overcranked but overall still a ton of fun to watch, which is 90% of what you need in a film like this. A tier below Fatal Attraction and SWF, around where Unlawful Entry and Hand that Rocks the Cradle are. That's good company. Feig desperately needs to do another comedy soon.
