Filmmakers can cast anyone they want for their movies. If 2 brothers want to stunt cast a boot-licking punk like Kevin O’Leary, that’s their right. And then I can say I wouldn’t see Marty Supreme for free (which is the only way I’ll watch movies w/ the little Jenner-banger). It’s all fair.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was a great 3-season show that was stretched to 4 seasons. Aside from forgettable episodes, it was a funny series with PERFECT casting and some amazing one-liners. Ellie Kemper and Jane Krakowski are great, but Carol Kane and Titus Burgess brought the strongest magic.

As a whole, the Jackass universe has brought me a ton of joy. I just can’t get excited about a 5th movie. Part 4 was OK, but it felt strained and more mean than funny. The absence of Ryan and Bam left a dark cloud that couldn’t vanish for me. The overall chemistry just wasn’t the same.

Thanks to great sets, smart casting, and 4-5 good one-liners, Popeye is Robert Altman’s best movie. I didn’t say it was great. It’s just his best along with Brewster McCloud.

Why did I have to find out Hugh Jackman is good friends with Rupert Murdoch? Knowing stuff sucks. No wonder people choose ignorance.

My top 10 movies of 2025 aren’t really worth listing. 5-10 are movies I just liked enough to say I liked them. 3 and 4 were just movies I liked a good amount. 2. Sisu: Road to Revenge - The most fun I had with a movie from last year. 1. Bring Her Back - The hardest I got hit by one. #filmsky

Eating more than 3 cookies in your 40s makes it feel like you’ve been in an accident.

Calling some awful thing Trump does “a distraction” doesn’t mean it’s not a big deal on its own. It’s just remembering not to put anything past him regarding timing. It doesn’t mean it’s ONLY a distraction that doesn’t have its own shitty intentions/results. He’d nuke 1/2 the world to deflect.

It’s a little underproofed (Sue me. I got impatient when I started to see bubbles), but whatever. I added 1/8 cup of Gochujang chili paste to my sourdough and it tastes amazing.

It’s good to be informed, but not everyone chooses the cold misery of being chronically online. You don’t have to tackle every celebrity that didn’t know every single view of another celebrity when that celebrity hasn’t been famous for decades. They’ll likely find out soon enough anyway.

Just because I didn’t spend this Christmas with family didn’t mean I had to throw away every Christmas tradition. Like the finger butt photo bomb.

I ate too much Christmas migas and Christmas chips and salsa and Christmas buttermilk pancakes. Ho-Ho-Holy shit I can’t move.

Elf is a cute Christmas movie , but it’s kinda dark. Santa or the elves could have made Buddy a bed, chair, bicycle, and shower that fit. They could have made any of those things for him in less than a day. They chose not to make him comfortable. They didn’t love him. They tolerated him.

Happy Festivus America.

I’m better at cooking than taking pictures of my food (I’ll work on it), but you can trust me when I say this was some pretty damn amazing tortilla soup. Homemade salsa not photographed.

I’m making tortilla soup and I got jalapeño up my nose. Both sides. Both. Sides.

#letterboxd #filmsky What a funny movie to be my current number 2 of the year.

Jennifer Lawrence is probably my favorite actress that is never in any movies I like. (Winter’s Bone aside) I always think she’s good. I adore her in interviews. She’s an immensely charming human. I will continue to watch movies I probably won’t like.

You’ll never get them to admit it, but if most die hard MAGAs heard their dad or grandpa talking like Trump, they wouldn’t even let them hold a remote with batteries in it.

Of course the Osgood Perkins movie his fans like the least ends up being the only 1 I’ve liked. Keeper has a “just go w/ it” plot that certainly takes its time, but I was entertained throughout by the really good visuals and sound design. Some chilling imagery here. Maslany was good. #filmsky

I’ve never before automatically considered anyone stupid/bad because we disagreed about politics. That’s a toxic attitude to AUTOMATICALLY have. But everyone has had plenty of time to see who Trump really is. So I’m left with no choice but to assume Stallone and Kelsey Grammer are shitty humans.

My 74 year old dad unreservedly loves the first Home Alone and I find that adorable. My 64 year old step-mom hates it because she doesn’t like any form of comedy (especially slapstick/pratfalls)…..and I find that amusing. It’s amusing every year when I play it around the holidays.

Oh no. I just thought of something. Most Netflix shows and movies don’t look very good. Even the expensive ones have a flatness to them. HBO productions usually do look good/cinematic. Does that mean everything is going to look like ass now?

When you find out that John Waters hates you even though he doesn’t know you.

One kinda boring thing about all the sudden Tarantino/Paul Dano stuff is that he already talked about this several years ago. He just repeated a nearly 20 year old criticism. If I’m being honest, I thought Dano was uneven and mishandled in the movie. But I like him most of the time.

Meh. #filmsky #letterboxd

Alrighty. Time to check out this new show Pluribus everyone is talking a…. Aaaaaaand I don’t like it. Goddamnit.

Dexter: Resurrection builds up to some decent cheesy good will. There’s nothing special about the writing or style, but it’s mostly fun. It’s better than the last several seasons. It feels like Dexter. Hall is having a great time. Then it shat the bed near the end and left a bad taste. F*** y’all!

I made sourdough so I could make the fattest grilled cheese sandwich I’ve had in my life. I needed something to dip in my tomato basil soup. I couldn’t find my bread knife. That explains the wildly uneven slices.

It turns out my “pretty good” coconut curry has been missing coriander this whole time. Damn. That was good.

I think there’s too much corruption for Trump to be taken down by truth or laws. His party is too willing to rig elections and election laws for him. His cult doesn’t care. If anything, he’ll go down like the 1 ring. The evil is so powerful that some Gollum figure will accidentally destroy him.

I was not expecting to hate One Battle After Another w/ every fiber of my being. It felt like the aborted fetus of a Wes Anderson script got scraped out of a dumpster and resurrected by a different Anderson. The whole movie was too silly and had nothing interesting to say or show. Booooooo!!!

Steven Kostanski’s Deathstalker remake was good, cheap fun. It was pretty much everything I expected. I was appropriately not sober. I’ll watch it again ……not sober. @pattonoswalt.bsky.social was a nice addition.

The first Conjuring film is one of the best horror movies I’ve seen, despite being loosely based on scumbag grifters Ed and Lorraine Warren. The sequels are haunted 😜 by the ghost of diminishing returns. The 3rd and 4th entries lack good writing, acting, and style. They’re frankly boring.

I usually give shows a 3 episode shot, but 1 episode of IT: Welcome To Derry will be plenty. That was just crap from beginning to end. I can’t think of anything good to say about it.

After seeing the new Frankenstein, I remain convinced that the best performance as The Monster is still from Rory Kinnear in Penny Dreadful and the best performance as the mad doctor goes to Gene Wilder.

Pros and Cons of making lasagna and garlic bread from scratch. Cons : It takes like half a feckin day. Pros: You end up with lasagna and garlic bread……. and probably enough lasagna for 2 extra days.

Someone who brags about passing a dementia test and compares it to an IQ test probably doesn’t have a very high IQ and likely didn’t pass the dementia test w/ flying colors. The most impressive thing about that turd is his magical power when it comes to healing cartilage blasted off an ear.

When you knock back a beat smoothie right before leaving the house to do a 2 hour massage.

Unless it’s Scarlett Johansson in a leather suit, I’ll never be happy about seeing a black widow right outside my door.

Damnit. I made my own garlic bread from scratch. It was pretty good. But now I know how to make garlic bread whenever I want it. This is dangerous.

I was 14 when he died and I have once again been reminded that I friggin miss John Candy.

There wasn’t a big climax full of action , but I thought the season 2 finale of Peacemaker succeeded in its goals. It set up season 3 and brought our characters closer to their individual and collective destinies. I enjoyed it. Cena can act and Danielle Brooks has become the show’s backbone.

One thing that works so well in the 80’s remake of The Blob is that it’s super mean without being obnoxiously cruel. It’s organically mean because the blob wouldn’t care who it ate. Good stuff.

I like to make a pitcher of limeade sweetened with honey and dump in a can of Thai coconut milk.

I’ve almost got my Triple Chocolate Brown Butter Espresso cookie where I want it.

Caught Stealing does a lot and pretty much none of it is worth applause. Most of the characters are dull. Most of the choices either left a bad taste in my mouth or nearly threw my shoulders out from all the shrugging. It’s not fun, tense, fresh, or witty. It’s just loud, dumb, and mean.

I need to practice scoring , but my 3rd try at sourdough is delicious and has amazing texture. I ate about 1/3 of the loaf with butter and cream cheese.
