guns are bad except for when Chow Yun-fat uses them

I watched all the Best Picture nominees for the #Oscars. I still think #Hamnet is my favorite. It's in a world of its own. #filmsky

I thought #SentimentalValue would give more. I did like it, and the acting was great, but I don't think it's as groundbreaking as people make it out to be. For some reason, Scandinavian cinema still feels a bit cold for my liking. #filmsky

I feel pushed away from middle-ground compromises in Lebanese politics. You'd get robbed, buried, and eaten alive based on goodwill thinking. So no coming #elections, I want the most radical alternative; let everything burn to the ground because we're barely surviving in our current status. #Lebanon

On the AUB campus, learning comes with a few extra classmates! Featured by @npr.org, AUB has become an unexpected sanctuary for hundreds of cats abandoned during conflict and economic hardship—cared for by a community that believes compassion matters. Read: tr.ee/npr #EduSky

Jessie Buckley's performance in #Hamnet is the equivalent of Daniel Day-Lewis's acting in There Will Be Blood. Yes, it's that iconic and a once-in-a-generation performance; she better win that #Oscar. #filmsky

Between the #Beirut Port Explosion and the collapsing building in #Tripoli there is a link. The authorities in both cases knew of the impending crisis that could take place and just did nothing. #Lebanon

In #Tripoli, #Lebanon, there are over 114 buildings at risk of collapsing. 114 that's a scary number, because of corruption & state negligence. What a catastrophic status we led ourselves into.

You don't need to read poems when you can see visual poetry unfold and absorb it in a Terrence Malick film. #filmsky 📽

Choosing a therapist carefully is one of the most important decisions you can make. It's a lifeline that should never be taken lightly, as bad therapy can be worse than no therapy.

I feel like watching Breaking Bad all over again. Timeless

One day later, I'm still thinking of #Hamnet #filmsky.

#ThePlague reminds you how horrifying boys can be with bullying, a sort of modern-day retelling of "Lord of the Flies" on social hierarchy, cruelty, & eventual alienation as a consequence. I don't think its a great film, but it does have interesting questions worth thinking about. #filmsky 📽

Not everyone can handle the emotional stress of movies. I know someone who really can't watch a film without knowing the ending beforehand. #filmsky 📽️

#Hamnet is all I could think of. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky #films #movies 📽️🍿

#Hamnet just happened to be one of the most beautiful films I've ever experienced. Emotional, moving, heartfelt. Just no words... #cinema. Will take some time for the tears to dry though. This film will live forever. #filmsky

#ThePlague & #Hamnet are finally out on digital release. Will make a good Friday watch been looking forward to watching them for some time. #filmsky

why is #bugsbunny trending again ?

It's strange that some were complaining about historical accuracy when there's a cyclops in #TheOdyssey, and now the casting of Lupita Nyongo as Helen. People should realize myths aren't strict historical documentaries; they're stories that evolve. #NolansOdyssey

I still do

The Last of the Mohicans has one of the best movie intros to ever exist. It gives me goosebumps each time I watch it. It screams epicness & timeless love. The movie just seems forgotten these days,but its one of those classics that stays in my heart. #filmsky youtu.be/8kdLktqGrJg?...

Apparently, #MELANIA is on its way to becoming a disastrous commercial flop, with one critic saying, "I'd rather rewatch January 6th." Seriously, though, who asked for this? #filmsky

Michael #Haneke 's films turned into an obsession. A master in portraying our darkest impulses on screen while being unapologetic about it, he confronts you in by letting you associate with that darkness unfolding. At the end he makes you feel your emotional failure as a human. #filmsky

Why is it always a love-hate relationship with #Beirut? #Lebanon

That was such a beautiful answer to give‼️ Rest in Peace Catherine ❤️

Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.

The thing about Catherine O’Hara is she is so hilarious and talented that I forgot she was mortal

I feel I want my revenge this time through elections, like I'm out for "blood" and I do want it to hurt. Each family has its own tale of suffering. #Lebanon

📽 Nothing gives me more joy than watching #TheGodfather with someone who's never seen it for the very first time. It's delightful seeing others being charmed by it and eventually realizing that all the other movies they've seen have been influenced by or connected to this one.

#nw amour... kind of overdue, to be honest, but better late than never. #filmsky

📽 Movies I just have to watch every year because they simply feel timeless: The Godfather 1 & 2 The Last of the Mohicans Barry Lyndon 12 Angry Men Drive Heat

Film posters are just art! This is so good! 📽

#Dune has always fascinated me. It is not just any sci-fi; it's specifically "political" fiction, and I like how it deconstructs false political heroism and the limitations of decolonization. It was way ahead of its time when it came out in the '60s.

📽 I enjoyed The Secret Agent, but I don't know if it's as good as everybody says it is. It just didn't resonate with me as much as I thought it would. Still, it's a good movie, and Wagner Moura is outstanding here.

Not going to lie, I wasn't so crazy about #NoOtherChoice, but the fact that Park Chan-wook has never been nominated for an #Oscar is just insane. We are talking about the same guy who gave us Oldboy, The Handmaiden, and Decision to Leave. What is wrong people? #filmsky

Iranian Jafar Panahi was snubbed in the #Oscars nomination. He deserved to be in the Best Director and Picture race. Not that these awards amount to much, but it's cruel to see a man who bravely pursued art to the very end and will face prison get disregarded in such a way. #filmsky

The thread of a lifetime, should be laughing but this really happened..crazy wild

The fact that a large Lebanese group was & still is opposed to justice for the #Beirut Port explosion testifies to how politically evil that group is,evil in its most basic form: cold, calculated, & marked by an utter absence of empathy that refuses to see the mass agony of others. #Lebanon

Protesters gathered at Beirut port, burning tires and displaying photos of explosion victims in response to Gracia Al-Qazzi's appointment as customs director. They demand accountability and express frustration over stagnation in their quest for justice. #Beirut #Lebanon #Justice

What does the Lebanese government do to implement justice for the #Beirut Port Explosion? (Largest non-nuclear blast in modern history) Reward one of the accused as head of customs. Absolutely unbelievable.

One year later I still think of the mysteries #DavidLynch left behind. Of all filmmakers he's the one that influenced me the most. #filmsky

I went back to playing #AnimalCrossing on the #NintendoSwitch. That game is just so relaxing and meditative. Feels like hypnosis.

"Mediocre" is the best term to describe Lebanese politics.
