A new #TheInflectionCut is up at long last! We delve into the darkest timeline, where filmbro auteur Peter Berg gets to make his very 'Murican vision of Dune. Get it here: www.podbean.com/ew/pb-fgp62-... #podcast #movies #filmpodcast #moviepodcasting #dune #filmsky #letterboxd #podsky

We are just in the dumbest timeline. And yes, the URL appears to be legit.

A whole lot of talking in this week's #letterboxd #last4watched. With a selection of hangout films masquerading as other genres. #filmsky #lastfourwatched.

TIL that Nightcrawler is actually a part of the Fast and Furious franchise. We all remember that feel-good moment when Jake Gyllenhaal is watching his partner burn to death in a wreck and he whispers in a gruff tone, "It's about family". Jebbus, Shout Studios.

Dude sometimes you just hit that tequila bottle and let the media server do its thang. No regrets. #last4watched #filmsky #letterboxd boxd.it/1CMup

I love takes like this, not just because it's debunking what's just the latest version of "these kids today and their rock and roll" but because blaming social media keeps us from having to engage in discussions on the long-term price we've paid for COVID and the disappearance of 3rd spaces.

Singal boosting this GoFundMe for one of Portland's best comic shops. And that's saying something. Please give if you can #PDX #comicsky

Haven't done a #Last4Watched #LetterboxdFriday in a minute, so here you go — A fantastic run of films about men in over their heads. A surprisingly solid (3 1/2 star) Predator: Badlands sits just off-screen in the #5 slot. #filmsky #LastFourWatched Follow me on Letterboxd: boxd.it/1CMup

omg

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

If this turns out to have legs, it would completely change the demographics of American elections. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/n...

I saw this image in a tiny thumbnail while scrolling through open apps on my phone, and was still like "Oh, I didn't know Howard Chaykin drew Hawkgirl." Pretty sure Chaykin's eyebrows and lips are recognizable from space. #comics

I did not enjoy writing this; it can't even serve as an ad for my newsletter, which I've suspended due to an overbilling situation that has me almost regretting leaving Substack. But, you know, it's evidence for the piece I just didn't get to include. talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/patro...

THIS IS THE FUTURE ANTIFA WANTS!!!

Fun fact. - all USB cables with the standard "A" connector must have the USB trident logo printed on the "up" side. Its actually part of the spec. If you check thst before you plug it in, you'll get it right every time. You're welcome.

Also, it's kinda a bop.

A reminder that we're about to lose many local PBS affiliates (and most of the smaller ones) and probably the majority of the shows that PBS produces.

Chicago: We will fight you! L.A.: We will fight you! Portland: We will subject you to memes and experimental art! History will be the judge. #pdxsky #resist #nokings

I'm sure I could keep going for an hour. I'm already annoyed I don't put the original Cat People. But I followed the assignment. My top of the doke choices: I Saw the TV Glow Alien It Follows The Descent

D'Angelo wasn't prolific or even all that well known. But if you love any modern funk, R&B, soul, or its various offshoots and mashups, I can guarantee that he was one of your favorite artists' favorite artists. A sad day. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

On the very slim chance that the right people see this: I'd like to remind you that the 25th Amendment exists. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dammit, this chart just got a $0 month-to-month lease in my cortex. #filmsky #letterboxd

“There will be no federal takeover of Portland, Oregon.” 🔥 👀 Damn — @bynum.house.gov is. Not. Playing. Around.

Brutal.

"... but please don't stay" is the rest of this unofficial city slogan. For real, though. It's peaceful and fun here. Crime is was down and downtown is finally coming back to life. I'd prefer those trends continue.

I also hope we don’t forget all the local folks who’ve spent years spreading the “portland is a hellhole” narrative to gain short-term political power and/or social media clout. They provided ammo to the Trump machine. They fed the false narrative and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

Noah Hawley really knows how to build toxic relationships. #filmsky #alien #alienearth

The finale of (season 1 of?) Alien Earth was a perfectly imperfect end. I'm sure that folks will call it a cliffhanger, but while I hope for a season 2, I preemptively disagree. These 8 episodes were a complete sentence with a period at the end. It just wasn't meant to be a comfortable one.

A rare case where audiences and critics line up completely, but most of them just don't appreciate this beautiful, messy bitch of a film.

The weeks road to Hell is paved with unusual techniques in a surprisingly thematic #letterboxd #last4watched. My profile on Letterboxd boxd.it/1CMup #filmsky #lastfourwatched

I refuse! 😂😂😅

FYI

It only took 5 movies, but he’s finally going to be Superman. Pic unrelated.

A good week for aliens and righteous indignation in this week's #letterboxd #last4watched My profile on Letterboxd boxd.it/1CMup

it took 3 episodes to get there, but ep 4 of Alien Earth FINALLY feels like a Noah Hawley show. Up 'til now it's been good, even if nostalgia bait isn't my jam. But with that last shot the franchise feels full of possibilities in ways it hasn't since... 1986? #alien #filmsky #alienearth

Even in our mid-apocalyptic era, there is still beauty in the world. Like the folks at Gumpy Function, who took a throwaway Simpsons gag and went and made a My Dinner With Andre game for the Nintendo Gameboy. And it's... good? #gamesky #nintendo #itch.io gumpyfunction.itch.io/my-dinner-wi...

In the latest #TheInflectionCut, we take a break from Welles' Heart of Darkness to discuss how Francis Ford Coppola's run for the ages' in the 70s was made mostly under duress as a work for hire. Get it here: www.podbean.com/ew/pb-e8qrg-... #podcast #podsky #movies #filmpodcast #moviepodcast

Walken? I hardly knew him! I got to see Excalibur in 35mm on the big screen, but a dumb pun is all you get for this week's #Letterboxd #Last4Watched My Letterboxd profile: boxd.it/1CMup #movies #filmsky #lastfourwatched
