Marty Supreme’s production design and cinematography, particularly use of shadow and highlights, are terrific. Some of the best of the year.

My low stakes blood feud is with whoever designed the toilet seat that auto lowers but waits 5 seconds like it's a expedition 33 boss hesi-ing out your parry

In This House We Believe Lydia Tár is real and lives in our neighborhood where she is banned from several local coffee shops

apparently they’re releasing more movies next year? what the fuck

So you read a headline two months ago and now it’s the cornerstone of your entire belief system

CHOTINER: and when you're in water you PARTICLE MAN: don't get wet, that's right. CHOTINER: And this is because PARTICLE MAN: the water gets me instead. It becomes particle-manish CHOTINER: There's been some debate on this point. Triangle Man, for example PARTICLE MAN: I think we're done here

I don’t know if you heard but Jim Kringle passed away

“What is she thinking?“ For @moviejawn.com, I wrote about the 2025 movies that denied us easy answers to recreate in us the child's yearning for a parent stolen by state violence. www.moviejawn.com/home/2025/12...

a very good, measured article

For my last New Yorker piece of the year, I visited the Shaker room at the Met with the director Mona Fastvold, whose film "The Testament of Ann Lee" opens on Christmas Day and is absolutely weird and wonderful. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Film and TV, rookie numbers

fucked up that tomb and catacomb don’t rhyme

It’s fucked up I’m expected to work tomorrow.

Celebrate Bugs Bunny energy every Christmas with the heartwarming classic Hundreds of Beavers.

I must’ve been sorted into the shit tier of the For You A/B testing, because every other post is about CBS.

I suspect the missing cultural ubiquity and fandom for Avatar was due more to lack of content than interest. Now that it has three movies and a step-on-me-hot-lady villain, I expect Avatar fandom to be inescapable and insufferable within two years.

Just got out of packed 70mm showing in NYC. Jesus Christ. There are some combinations of words that will enter the film lexicon from this movie that might break the timeline.

It’s fun watching an old favorite and discovering it stars someone you saw in a movie released this year. Last week it was Gaby Hoffman, tonight it’s Joanne Whalley.

Also, for the next three days, I stickied some of the most unhinged/horniest Avatar posts here. Featuring @monolithbrah.bsky.social, @antlervel.vet, and more people who aren't mufos so I'm not tagging them lmao.

Varang, Payakan, and Big Jim Cameron now added to the feed.

and that's right im gonna fuckign puke. does anyone have access to more images like this i am trying to stay healthier and need to know what to avoid. i have made mistakes in life. it is important that you answer quickly

we talkin space whales?

watched T2 for the first time the other night and AMONGST MANY THOUGHTS INCURRED one of my biggest takeaways was "holy shit this is a man that loves and understands fluid dynamics to an obsessive degree" and that was before is occurred to me just how many of his films give water a starring role

my review of avatar fire and ash

I’m geeked up on that pure Na’vi yayo while an eight foot tall goth cat gf cuts me. I’m high off that Pandora Payakan talking directly to the ancestors. We sipping pure Tulkun brain goo. That Mangkwan coochie got me waging war on Eywa. I’ve died. I will die again. This shit ain’t nothing to me man.

I meant to go Christmas shopping from noon-2pm and instead I napped. It's been a hard two months. I've got to mail my parents' gifts and I don't know if they'll even arrive in time.

baby your a firework

Testament of Ann Lee in 35mm is returning to the Philly Film Society starting Jan 15! I saw it at #PFF34, it was a gorgeous way to see this film. prod5.agileticketing.net/websales/pag...

some would say she was The Mastermind

From December 15 onwards, it’s One Meeting After Another.

I think feminism probably has failed women, actually. I assume my thoughts on why and how might differ from Bari Weiss, though.

for @gqmagazine.bsky.social, i talked to No Other Choice director Park Chan-wook(!!!!!) about his side-passion: photography

So, Valhalla is indeed very bloated, and I got sick of playing it multiple times. That said, Eivor (girl style) is probably my favorite AC protagonist and I could listen to her voice all day.

you know Glenn Close is mad at that Jimmy trailer

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1740

I will free Grogu from his tortured existence.
