I swear, every time a French actor dies it's always like "They spent their prime years as advocates for the sexual revolution and were in films directed by Marxists. Their final years were spent saying racial slurs that haven't been said since the 1870s."

Few films I've thought about this year, new and old, as much as Grand Budapest Hotel, a film about how fascism is brewing outside of this candy-coated and beautiful hotel and reality catches up to them in an instant. Would make for a good double feature with Cabaret.

Still feeling Geese-pilled, so allow me to say that Cameron and JPEGMAFIA screaming "THERE'S A BOMB IN MY CAR!" feels like the clearest expression of 2025 as a whole in music form

I've liked Getting Killed by Geese since I've heard it, but man, listening to it rn, and I'm just fucking adoring it to pieces

Guy who gets handed the aux cord at a Christmas party and plays the Morvern Callar soundtrack

Merry Christmas Eve, finally made the list of my favorite albums of '89 @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social

I agree, Lucy Liu.

I'm tipsy again so it's time to listen to all my favorite Les Mis songs www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl9B...

Really loved Chloe Zhao's Hamnet, so I decided to throw on her foray into the MCU, Eternals

I need to know if Lin Manuel Miranda was at any point a fan of Epic Rap Battles of History

the republicans are genocidal maniacs and the 3 democrats that voted for this are amoral cowards. death before detransition. trans youth are incredible.

When you realize you need several tax write-offs to be able to still stay afloat after sinking a bunch of money into buying a studio

I’ve been working on this one for a minute. With Criterion releasing DAVID BYRNE’S AMERICAN UTOPIA, for @letterboxd.social I surveyed Spike Lee’s rich history as a musical director. Read: letterboxd.com/journal/spik...

so like, i’m aware that it’s not a done deal that all dems vote no on this bill flooding folks’ offices with calls tomorrow is probably a good idea if you care about the trans folks in your life

“If you let me, I can be so real for you.”

Gonna attempt to write a DC on this album, which features an arc of me from being a hater in high school to realizing I absolutely adored this record years later

Some words on The Princess Bride, one of Rob's very best and a movie that meant the world to me when I was younger boxd.it/c3GI8P

Rob Reiner's films at their best weren't just great, they were the archetypes for many movies to come. How many mockumentaries exist because the filmmakers saw Spinal Tap? How many romantic comedies were trying to follow the blueprint of When Harry Met Sally?

Why is this tiny gesture so funny

A Muslim stopped a massacre of Jews on Hanukkah

I feel like there’s gotta be better strategies for winning people over to the left than talking like an eighth grader who just discovered South Park. Or maybe there isn’t and we are that fucked as a country and even then I still don’t care, I’m better than that.

what trump is doing to the somali-american community is deplorable.

Thinking about selling some of my old Criterion blu-rays

Gone Girl is one of the definitive New York movies, it's about someone who has to leave NYC for the suburbs and hates it so much that she schemes against her husband

I forgot how much joy doing crossword puzzles gives me

"Oh come on, it's just one presidential race that the Republicans won. How bad could it be?" *25 years later* Fuck.

Every December, I'm reminded that the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is one of the best albums ever made

"We live in hell, and the rapacious need for growth in every industry, unrelenting, forever and ever, is decimating all of our institutions and our way of life." Amanda Dobbins, on fire

My brave and spicy Pitchfork take is that I'm gonna get so tired of seeing Headphones On in the Top 10 of every list as if there aren't any pop songs this year that are way better, including ones they have on the same damn list.

Every 20 minutes in Harmony Korine's Baby Invasion, it'll cut to a shot of a rabbit that looks like this

Best part of Kpop Demon Hunters was this guy

pals you gotta quit spotify

Here it is: the poll to determine the release date of YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT. Please read the entire form, consider the arguments, laugh at the jokes. The poll runs until 12:01 AM Mon Dec 15. You can change your vote anytime before then. I have tried to turn off the results so that you vote blind.

This is how everyone who uses the r-word sounds to me. Just an immediate signal that you are to be paid no mind.

Really proud of this episode, especially our segment on Danny Brown where we felt we were able to uplift his two most recent albums, that we felt didn’t get enough love

the issue here, especially with TCM, is more than half of its programming came from the Turner, and later WB, library. If you remove the network from the library, how is it going to afford to license 100% of its programming?

Sarandos has been absolutely desperate for Netflix to have a Best Picture winner so his shitty business model can have artistic cred, so why not buy the studio that currently has the two frontrunners for the award?

Cursed prediction: Song Sung Blue is gonna get the Oscar nominations that people hope Marty Supreme will get

Despite being in my late 20s, I give the vibe of someone in their early 40s who read too much P4K

Trump admin's gotta pay for the fuckin ugly-ass ballroom somehow

I don't need to read any further

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit
