Raskin: I heard speaker Mike Johnson refer to a hate America rally, but that one already happened on January 6th, 2021

Two new UHD Blu rays arrived tonight. My double feature after watching #MLB and #NFL is now locked in.

Beyer: I don’t like to do ad hominem attacks, but I’ve served with four different speakers. This is the fifth one—by far the weakest speaker, I think, in American history.

I have never seen such a perfect image

“Gentle and humble in heart.” I just don’t see how MAGA people can call themselves Christian. They embody none of Christianity, not for a moment.

This is just hearbreaking. zurl.co/sYxgl

@RealGDT's Pan's Labyrinth hits very differently when you're in a country (U.S. for me) sliding at lightspeed into fascist authoritarianism. Ofelia's fairy tale helps her survive fascist horror. GDT's fairy tale did the same for me. https://rpst.in/ky4ir #panslabyrinth @letterboxd:

Finally stayed in an actual Room 237. No joke. It's still a masterpiece, but Kubrick's middle act pacing kills me, and Nicholson starts way too hot. King's version has more heart, but this one has the craft. https://rpst.in/URZkC #TheShining #Kubrick @Letterboxd

Taylor Sheridan's shitty movie, "Those Who Wish Me Dead," should've been like this. Gritty and intense, and it makes me proud I live in California. I reject everything that is #MAGA. You fucks are destroying our country. Other than that, peace and goodwill! https://rpst.in/lmkDm

THE SURFER is Nicolas Cage baking alive in a beach car park, stripped down to raw nerve by ego and the Australian sun. Lorcan Finnegan (Vivarium) shoots it like a fever dream. Point Break meets Deliverance. You only stay for the Cage meltdown. https://boxd.it/behrRJ

SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT still rips. CB chatter, real stunts, and Jerry Reed's honky-tonk grit. Jackie Gleason's blowhard sheriff is the Trump prototype we somehow elected twice. The convoy is the soul of the thing. 4.5 stars. https://boxd.it/beiEIx

Good night everyone.

They certainly have honed their playbook of how to exploit people they couldn’t care less about.

Trump's rigging the 2026 midterms and California is fighting back. This isn't politics as usual — this is about protecting democracy.

Which is EXACTLY why Congress has exclusive constitutional authority to impose tariffs. But Trump wants to be an autocrat, and unilateral tariff authority forces CEOs to come to him begging, then he can extort what he wants from them personally. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/25/k...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Our new kicker, @EddyPineiro, just nailed his kick again, w near perfect accuraccy. And I swear no one congratulated him afterwards. Now that Moody's gone, kicking is no longer drama for us. But give the dude a hug ffs! #49ers #49ersvscardinals x.com/Coach_Yac/st...

"Never stop being American. Nothing stops Ram. " 🤮 What a moronic ad. Just because feckless imbeciles are running the US, the rest of us don't need an ad that caters to the 3rd-grade EQ of their base. They all have the same thing in common: cult-like patriotism. https://youtu.be/u1KC9ssyNUk

Surprise surprise! The recommneded first hire of the startup, was .... AI! https://hbr.org/2025/09/what-happened-when-researchers-co-founded-a-startup-with-ai?ab=HP-hero-latest-1

Building my "definitive" haunted house horror list—20 films from The Haunting to Hausu to Hell House LLC. 👻🏚️ https://boxd.it/OcCzS #HorrorCommunity #HauntedHouse

Imagine White Lotus with the cast from Spring Breakers, featuring an ET-like blob that wants to slime you. That’s The Seed (2021). https://letterboxd.com/repojack/film/the-seed-2021-1/ #HorrorCommunity #BodyHorror

MI: Final Reckoning (2025): 3 hrs of exposition, cartoon villains, and an AI big bad that’s “ChatGPT with a submarine fetish.” At least the sub sequence slaps. https://boxd.it/aT2HlF #FinalReckoning #TomCruise #TheEntity #AI

Isn't it fun when you write a review that you think is one of your better ones, and your friends, who are secretly trolls, accuse you of plagiarism and using AI? Well, that's Point Break for you. https://letterboxd.com/repojack/film/point-break/

#NowWatching Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning. Wtf is Tom Cruise doing to his face? He's giving me Zac Efron vibes from The Iron Claw: an awful hairdo or wig, heavy spray tan, and a face that barely looks like him. What is Cruise doing to himself?! #MissionImpossible #TomCruise #TheIronClaw

From The Mist to Shawshank to Doctor Sleep, I ranked my definitive 15 out of the 40+ King film adaptations to date. 👉 Full list here: https://letterboxd.com/repojack/list/top-15-stephen-king-adaptions/

Good night everyone.

The Skeleton Key (2005) review: Kate Hudson shines in a Southern Gothic that oozes New Orleans atmosphere—voodoo shops, raised cemeteries, and no happy ending. A rewatch that hit like a hurricane. https://letterboxd.com/repojack/film/the-skeleton-key/

Patiently waiting for someone to upload a gif of this #AlienEarth “download” moment so I can use on repeat…

#NowWatching Alien: Earth Episode 3. It's the first time in a long while that I've been able to watch a show as soon as it's available, streaming the episode the minute it's released. #AlienEarth #MustWatchTV

I knew it. He's a Manchurian President. Did Putin pull out the infamous pee tape to get @realDonaldTrump to cave on Ukraine? Nah, Zemo (Putin) just reads (in Russian) the activation words: Longing Rusted Seventeen Daybreak Furnace And so on ... bit.ly/3JoNUjj

#NowWatching Alien Earth, season premiere. Ten minutes in and I'm hooked—a white haired Timothy Oliphant and The Babadook's Essie Davis. Sign me the f up! Streaming on #DisneyPlus and #Hulu. #AlienEarth #TimothyOlyphant #EssieDavis

Rewatching Peacemaker S1 and forgot how damn funny it is. Back in 2022, it was the only thing that pulled me out of a bad headspace. Honestly, psychiatrists should prescribe James Gunn for depression. #Peacemaker #JamesGunn #JohnCena

Priest (2011) was the last gasp of post-Matrix sci-fi action. Think The Dark Tower wasteland, Alien hives, and Karl Urban and Paul Bettany, hamming it up as the Man in Black and Gunslinger. https://letterboxd.com/repojack/film/priest-2011/ #KarlUrban #PaulBettany #MaggieQ

The latest Jurassic World is a weird genre mashup — part Jaws, Godzilla Minus One, and Alien: Resurrection. Fresh dinos, same old 45-min stalking finale. Still, it's popcorn-worthy. https://boxd.it/aDH53h #JurassicWorld #MovieReview #Kaiju #ScarlettJohansson

Having a great time with my son at. Shinedown concert.

At a live show at Golden One Arena in downtown Sacramento for Bush (opening) and Shinedown. Rock on mofos. #Shinedown #Bush

I didn't jive with this at all when it was released in 2019. I had a completely different experience this time. Ad Astra is “Cat’s in the Cradle” meets 2001: A Space Odyssey through father wounds and the silence of space. https://boxd.it/aBUtNV #AdAstra #Grief #Fatherhood

Watched The Manitou (1978) for the 1st time in color since I was 12. Still insane. Still unforgettable. Psychic tumors, shaman dwarves, topless laser battles in space. Zero notes. https://boxd.it/aAXEez #TheManitou #CultFilm #70sHorror #TonyCurtis #ReposDriveIn

Are there any zombie lovers out there anymore? I posted the best zombie movie review on the Internet, and no one is liking or commenting! https://boxd.it/avIroB #Letterboxd #Zombies #Horror

Fantastic Four is the best Marvel movie since Endgame and second-best of the summer after 28 Weeks Later. Big stakes and a big heart. #Fantastic4 #MCU #CBM

Brutal, gorgeous, and a must for metal fans. Longlegs = Pruitt Taylor Vince. Prove me wrong.  https://boxd.it/at3vH3 #TheDevilsCandy

Dangerous Animals is a gnarly mashup of serial killer and sharks that blends Dead Calm with Deep Blue Sea. Jai Courtney is unhinged, Hassie Harrison kicks ass, and the shark kills go hard. Stylish, savage, fun. #DangerousAnimals #Horror https://boxd.it/N3Qc #DangerousAnimals #Horror
