NPR talked to and quoted a transgender teen whose treatment is threatened. Did your news organization? www.npr.org/sections/sho...

This could have been way worse.

In my latest for @bloodydisgusting.com I recount my endless and irrational love for ‘Silent Night, Deadly Night, Part 2’ in love letter form. If it’s garbage day then I guess that makes me a garbage collector. 🎅🪓 bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...

I have long thought Tarantino to be our best film critic - but the medium for his critique is film, not print. I was not as taken by Cinema Speculation as I thought I would be - in writing, which has the cadence of his vocal patterns, he's too in love with the shock take. Remember his TOP GUN riffs?

Literally the whole reason they were both that big is people made a day of going out to both of them, sometimes in costume. Without that, you have, well maybe not nothing, but not something either

Assuming there isn’t more to this than we know, it is indeed very embarrassing to see an industry obsessed with being taken seriously as an art form self censor in this way. You need the grit if you want the pearl, dweebs. No amount of trotting out auteur film directors on stage offsets that need

When the terf and transphobes arrives in my bluesky

Se7en is a Christmas movie because people talk about the Bible and Brad Pitt gets a present at the end.

I will not interact with AI boosters on this, god's own website. They are mewling pitiful creatures and they already live in a hell of their own making

If RFKj could cry what would the consistency of the tears be? I bet viscous

One of my favorite characters in anything.

Crossover of my favorite podcasters. Whole episode rocks but that story about Bill Withers was very moving. Check it out!

Exclusive first look at the live action Legend of Zelda movie reveals that Zelda is the boy, as expected. Director Wes Bell explains "It was important to me to stay as true to the game as possible, and in the games, Zelda is the boy."

@bransonreese.bsky.social must pay

"One new term we’re considering is 'people who are without home.' Notice how that term starts with “people.” We believe in language that centers humanity. Actions, less so."

Here’s my experience with BLADE: TRINITY In 2005 I was flown to Australia to host wraparound segments for tv special called The World Comedy Tour. I shot these bits in Sydney then went to Melbourne the next day. 1/11

I’m not sure which is the worst part of ADHD, this or time blindness, but oof, yeah:

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but DEXTER: RESURRECTION is a return to form for the series and character in that it feels just like it belongs in with the first few seasons. Jess and I mainlined it this weekend and blew through it in two nights. So fucking good with the best Dexter cast ever.

Alice Isn't Dead is amazing and if you haven't listened to it before then I urge you to do so.

Parks and Recs good. While we're at it, so is Hamilton. Stop living your life by what strangers online think is cringe.

his entire world view is he hates sick people and wants them to die. part of this is a denial that sickness could ever come near him, thus his immediate panic

you know, the original SPACE JAM was not some kind of masterpiece — it wasn’t even particularly good — but it feels like SEVEN SAMURAI compared to the sequel (watching it with my kids right now)

Wasn’t able to watch WS live but apparently the Jonas Bros did some of a song at some point? I cannot express this urgently enough: NO. Baseball is not meant to be associated with entertainment. The beauty of baseball is its uninterrupted agony. The outside world must be barred from the stadiums.

This is already so out of pocket and Carl Tart is so hilarious

I am once again asking you to not put AI generated slop in my feed. It's not interesting and it's embarrassing that you're posting it!

I firmly believe that there should be a Year Without Shakespeare in which every Shakespeare play in every theater's calendar is replaced by new work from a local playwright. I think that would be good for both theater and society.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

the background on zohran's colbert appearance is jaw-droppingly disgusting

Un asunto, cuando una película terrorífica reconstruye crímenes reales ¿también llamáis estúpidas a las víctimas? ¿Le gritáis a la pareja del lago de Zodiac "pero que sois doooos atontaaaaaos, madremiaaaaa qué peñaaaa"?

Wait, a Boricua horror writer? Where the hell have I been? I'm in.

Finally, my favorite comedy poodcowsters #CrowdControl @scottaukerman.bsky.social / @pftompkins.bsky.social

I watched this movie for the first time last year and immediately clicked with it. Such a an insane, funny vibe. It instantly shot up to the very crowded category of "Favorite Scorsese Movies". Teri Garr and Catherine O'Hara are absolute standouts in it. Watch it if you haven't!

if you work for ICE you’re evil. if you cheer ICE on, you’re evil. ICE has no positive value in this country. it’s just an outlet for people’s worst, most racist and violent impulses.

Imagine not getting a joke about staying up too late and making three posts about it

ALICE, SWEET ALICE: A grungy USA giallo made specifically sleazy with New Jersey Catholicsploitation flavor. A touch web-spinny for a stretch (not uncommon for giallo), but has a surprising third act and a practically perfect ending. Still feels uncomfortable in all the right ways 50 years later.

Need a new streaming service for all of that boycott money? How about investing in @dropout.tv, a progressive comedy platform that doesn't bend the knee to fascism! Not sold? Check out the trailer for @makesomenoiseshow.bsky.social season 4! www.slashfilm.com/1975685/amer...

LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH: The kind of legitimately strange, sleepily hypnotic horror movie you could only get coming out of the '60s and into the '70s. At times, it hits that genuine "peeking into a dream" energy so few movies achieve. Inescapably niche but more memorable for it.

As a lifelong Democrat, I really got CK wrong. He really was so reasonable when he said that children dying to gun violence was good actually.

This was a fantastic podcast and I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of things that are fantastic!
