If I Had Legs I'd Kick You is touting one of the best female lead performances of the year and is almost no where to be found.

Okay, Final Fantasy 9. 1000 jumps on the jump rope. That's too much. That's insane.

Maybe the box office is so bad because ... people can't afford to fugging eat

My dating app algorithm suddenly thinks I would like someone who is allergic to cats and loves F1. It's a strange venn diagram of people.

Hoopla has become unusable. Right at midnight, everyone must borrow their max, because I never seem to be able to borrow anymore.

On dating apps, it's always the women that are "not political" or "conservative" that describe the guy they want to meet as a fantastical prince charming. 95% of the time. 99% of that 95%, the guy has to be over 6 feet. Not sure what this says, just an observation.

When NYT Spelling Bee has "phile" but then doesn't allow a bunch of the different "phile"s that work.

Little children is accurate.

Last week's episode of Only Murders I would have given a 5.5 rating. It was missing the magic, especially the magic of NYC, at least until the last 5 minutes. Forced bits. This week was a solid 9. That magic of NYC was back again. The jokes popped. The hearts were big!

At home, sick. Making my way through Criterion's 1970's thrillers picks. Never heard of "Winter Kills" but saw the cast. Wow. Not sure if I like it or not. But it's fucking wild.

"Conservative activist"? No. "Vocal white supremicist" No, he should not have been killed, but whitewashing who he was and what he stood for has further normalized those wretched ideas. Every news publication today failed us. @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social , tell me why?

Spider-Man is a Summer movie. Superman is a Summer movie. Fantastic Four should have been a Holiday scheduled movie.

Peacemaker is killing me. That was great.

Whatever craziness @jamesgunn.bsky.social held back from Superman, he's released the floodgates for Peacemaker season 2. Fucking wild. Haha

I've gotten pretty used to being told "no" over the years, for a variety of reasons. Still sux. That just means I haven't completely closed myself off.

All "moderate" leaning women on dating apps, are mostly MAGA lite "No woke nonsense" comments are usually mixed with a very privileged sense of entitlement. Anyone who says they're middle of the road in this climate has been gone for far longer

If professional theatre only needs a 10-15 minute intermission... then 99 seat theatre doesn't need a 20 minute intermission. Good grief.

So cool!

In a script I'm writing, I've been wanting to find a way to allow the characters to meet without meeting and I think I just figured it out!

Pretty sure The Ryse curtain company was using AI for their ad rather than cast real actors. #fuckthem

I see just as many women going after Pedro Pascal as I see men. This isn't a gender thing. It's an idiots believing troll farm propaganda thing.

The next Dem/Progressive administration needs to take Fax News at their word, that they are an entertainment channel and not a new channel and bar them from all press conferences.

I'm getting two things I need today in the same day 1. Superman (2nd viewing) 2. Star Trek: SNW

@hunterblackcomx.bsky.social , the Superman expert of our podcast team, discusses the political elements of the new James Gunn film... and clears some shit up

The crew talks about SUPERMAN!

@jamesgunn.bsky.social , Superman is going to mean more to me this year than any other movie. And it was perfect. One note. I don't remember seeing Pedro Pascal anywhere in the film. Like every movie this year, you could have found a spot for him. Sincerely, nicely done. Can't wait for more.

The final shot of L'Avventura is remarkable. The two leads, together. Looking out, but 3/4ths of the shot is a wall blocking their view. It could mean that there is no future or that their future will always have a block they have to overcome. It's heartbreaking and beautiful. And also... funny.

La Notte and L'Avventura are two movies that have changed drastically as I've gained experience in life. I adore them. But also, Monica Vitti may be one of the most beautiful women ever put to screen... and I think Antonioni knew that

Monica Vitti was ... so beautiful

How Antonioni uses space in LA Notte is simply remarkable. It's been a long time since I've watched. Lidia is always looking to the skies. Overwhelmed by her surroundings.

But these two shots right here...

Ethnic cleansing.

Sooooo, Mary Steenburgen's role in Back to the Future 3 was a literal copy and paste of her role in Time After Time, just the future and past was reversed.

@blumhouse.com Megan 2.0 was fantastic. It didn't fail because it was "bad." I found it to be genuinely entertaining and funny. It was unexpected, esp since the trailer didn't really sell it for what it was. I thought it was going to be full camp, and it wasn't. It was grounded camp. Nicely done.

I just had a random guy growl at me as he passed, "It's such a nice day." Is this what it feels like to have a fucehugger jammed down your throat?

I very much enjoyed F1. Maverick with cars. But it does have some Bruckheimer moments. You think to yourself "They're working as a team. Cool." And then five seconds later the announcer says "They're working as a team!" I member when 90's action films told you what was happening as it happened.

When I think about where the Democratic party (@housedemocrats.bsky.social) is at, I imagine the video of that young bird expecting the worm to jump into its mouth.

Hey, @nytimes.com , get fucked

The MCU has a first two episodes problem. Almost every series the ground work is unstable. In Ironheart, she has a top-of-the-line AI and can't figure out who Joe is? Finding that out in ep 2 would have given some real stakes between them. Instead, a whole episode has to pass. A waste of story time.

3 episodes in and we finally get to know something about Riri that solidifies the core of her character and who she is. Now I have a reason to care.

I'm dm'ing a game right now and the group is facing an ever expanding cult. I'm not taking it easy on them. But I relish when the heroes obliterate them because the cult echoes what I see in MAGA leadership. And my players HATE them.

Post your favorite Doctor incarnation

So... when the Supreme Court oversteps... who do we go to?

Will schools have the right to deny kids' attendance if their parents pull them out of specific classes? Or to fail them outright? Those kids are going to have a hell of a time when they go to college and face the realities of the world. Texas and SCOTUS just made an entire generation more stupid.

Ironheart ep 1. I do not believe Riri would work with a group of people when she didn't know why they were doing what they were doing...especially if those things were illegal.

The political theatre of cruelty

I think Pedro will get his first Oscar nom for The Materialists in a Supporting Role.

I would just to say a hearty FUCK YOU to Mitch McConnell.

I'm so angry with my immediate family for voting for Trump. For so many reasons. On a personal level, they've ruined my wanting to see them. My wanting to be there to spend time with my extended family, my cousins. I'm going to be really depressed over the 4th.

The free press is once again failing us. I hope when we wake up tomorrow, Congress also won't be failing us... again.
