Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza. It's 25 degrees outside. Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!" Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

"Well, he's a dictator whose people don't actually want him in charge" is an interesting precedent for this guy to set

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

Once again.

Putting out a call for the 4th Annual Vulture Stunt Awards. If you're a filmmaker, actor, stunt pro, critic, etc please DM me and I'll get you a ballot ASAP. We have to keep the voting industry-based though so please don't take it personally if I can't get you one. Anyhow, hit me up!

pretty wild that Netflix is bragging about all the people who drove to a MOVIE THEATER to have a SHARED EXPERIENCE for a piece of filmed entertainment who had a great time

I truly cannot wait for these incredibly stupid people to find out what happens when you try to wave the flag harder than Fox News

also every website in america already has the infrastructure to do this in place, because its a legal requirement in calfiornia. they just turn it off for non-californians so they have to call instead.

hey this is a good time to repost my Bernie movie shots from 2021 - i'm proud of these

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

L.A. long shot: Does anyone have a picture of the billboard that was on this side of the Petersen Automotive Museum from around 1998? On the billboard was a telephoto photograph of the crowd at some sort of car race. It was on the east side of the building facing Fairfax Ave, just south of Wilshire.

huh

A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News. Homicides in NYC... 1990: 2,262 1993: 1,927 1998: 629 2001: 649 2013: 335 2019: 320 2021: 488 2024: 382 2025 (as of 12/28): 302

"Elio" (2025) has several shots in double-printed slow motion (meaning frames have been repeated, rather than smooth every-frame-is-distinct slow motion). Is this the first Pixar movie to have double-printed slow motion?

The Apartment is a Christmas movie and a New Year's Eve movie and a perfect movie, period

Having the annual "what if they didn't spoil the surprise before the release of TERMINATOR 2? How would that have affected box office and audience reactions?" discussion at our household.

Because of a conspiracy theory-based stunt by a January 6 insurrectionist who was trying to intimidate children and daycare workers, Trump is now freezing ALL childcare payments across the country. You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If you start "Rear Window" (1954) at exactly 8:10pm tonight, you'll have time to watch it all over again and finish at exactly midnight.

This is your annual reminder that, when you press play on WHEN HARRY MET SALLY (a perfect film!) at 10:30:28pm, you'll sync up perfectly with the New Year's Eve scene at midnight. 🍾🥳

We don't have a government. We have a bunch of guys who heard things on social media. We don't have due process. We have entire groups being punished for the alleged actions of a few.

This is the new pizzagate, caravans, eating the dogs and cats. Buckle up.

"Star Wars" (1977)—there's only one single shot of Luke's Landspeeder in full motion that has ZERO opticals to complete the illusion that they're hovering. Yes, they put mirrors on the vehicle to hide the tires, but ultimately every other shot of it zipping around required paint+animated shadows.

One of the special things about “The Love Boat” is that it accurately illustrates that older people are just as horny as the youths.

The only reference to Jan 6 riots in the Capitol visitor center (that I could find): “On January 6, 2021, Congress was engaged in certifying the Electoral College results when proceedings were interrupted.”

Here are some of my favorite movies of 2025 that you probably won’t see on a bunch of Top Ten lists. These movies rock: 🍿 Companion 🍿 The Lost Bus 🍿 28 Years Later 🍿 The Naked Gun 🍿 Predator: Badlands 🍿 Final Destination Bloodlines

Another way AI leads to suicide is that hearing people talk about it makes you want to jump into a jet engine

there are hundreds of super awful takes about movies that I didn’t share with you all — you’re welcome

Did Daphne ever meet Maris?

wow this is a good piece “Despite the fact that we all appear to be drowning in movie marketing, fewer viewers are aware of what’s coming out and when.” Movie Marketing Used to Be Fun. Now It’s Just Inescapable. By @bilgeebiri.bsky.social www.vulture.com/article/movi...

Watching "Wild at Heart" (1990) with a first-timer.

Just got back from the framers (Michaels). I'm a very happy movie fan. (The one on the right is the only framed movie poster that I have for a movie that I didn't work on.)

You can’t deny the biggest cultural impact of AVATAR, which is that I’ve had to strain to see movies projected through a 3D polarizer (that the theater employees couldn’t be bothered to remove) for the past 16 years.

Even if the only cultural impact AVATAR had was the continual rehashing of the "does AVATAR have a cultural impact" argument, it would still count as massive cultural impact. Every headline, every article, every post, every reply on this topic for 16 years and counting disproves the nonsense thesis.

The folks who know the least about how movies are made argue the loudest about movie budgets.

Boss: Did you get that promotional photo of Spielberg and ET??? Photographer: I sure did boss... Real sexy just like you asked!

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (2015), visual effects by ILM. Visual effects supervisors Roger Guyett and Pat Tubach. Every single shot of this guy's entire face was computer graphics. youtu.be/-87p3DxqC6Y?...

abolish ice. theres no middle road on this and democrats will have to be held to it.

Team Willems does it again. And I echo everything he says about the "Predator" series. youtu.be/8shQ8YuR4p4?si=TcXFY...

"I never noticed that Kevin's plane ticket was thrown away!" is the new "I never noticed the sign changed into Lone Pine Mall!"

One of the things I was most glad to talk with Rian Johnson about was working with his cinematographer Steve Yedlin (he also shouted out his production designer Rick Heinrichs) on these remarkable sequences 📽️ Read the full @ebertvoices.bsky.social interview here: www.rogerebert.com/interviews/c...
