Wow, one of my favorite R&B jams when I was a kid! I didn't know there was a Simpsons AMV to the tune of "Don't Disturb This Groove." One thing I think this AMV should've done is add step-printing effects so that Springfield looks like the System's 1987 video, which is full of step-printing effects.

TIL that the reason why Jessica Williams looks 10 years old in the screencap below is b/c before The Daily Show (and Shrinking), she played a tall athlete on Just for Kicks, a 2006 Nickelodeon soccer sitcom I didn't know existed. It's like finding out that Mo Rocca played one of the Little Rascals.

This is The Heroic Trio (1993), starring Hong Kong actress trio Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung, and Anita Mui. This is the introduction scene to Anita's character, in which she battles an invisible person kidnapping new born babies. On an unrelated note, ecstasy was popular in HK during the mid-90s.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

RIP Claudia Cardinale, who got one of the greatest introductions in the history of cinema imho! youtu.be/eIHrAErHYc0

Now recalling how Scott Bakula on Enterprise with firsthand experience of the rigours and impact on home life of being a US network TV lead, had specific be home in time for tea working hours in his contract and was a driving force in the show doing less episodes a year ("no one else makes 26!").

Seeing another post lamenting US TV doesn't do 26 episode seasons for most things any more is always going to be funny to me because, having read so many books on the making of things like 90s Trek, it's very clear the people making those shows fucking hated that system at the time.

Lots of talk about Robert Redford films that have been lost in his large filmography. For my money this is one of the best, Peter Yates’s THE HOT ROCK (1972). A caper or heist film? It doesn’t really matter. The point is it’s great & has one of coolest robbery crews ever assembled on celluloid

fuck yeah

ONE PERFECT SHOT Zardoz (1974, Dir. John Boorman)

one of the greats. highly recommended Clearcut (apparently Greene's favourite of his own filmography), a gripping and angry political thriller about the conflict between an indigenous community and a logging company.

there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3

Turns out… he wasn’t acting!

I love how right above a great joke on my timeline about Joker henchmen being disgruntled theater kids who are ACAB, there's a @sitcompeople.bsky.social post of Harvey Bullock from his "studying criminology at a liberal arts college while singing weepy covers of Counting Crows at open mics" phase.

Yeah, why is this so damn good? Because it's another Lalo Schifrin banger, that's why. The 1975-1987 Paramount Television logo always looked less to me like a majestic mountain and more like Pizza the Hutt if he got clocked in the face by Lone Starr.

Every "Star Trek" from every TNG Season 6 promo

I hit love on this because she picked After Hours. On HBO Max in 2020, I saw After Hours for the first time and said, "Wow, Cheech and Chong were in a Scorsese movie together?" Also, Kristen Lopez is doing a book on HBO's Tales from the Crypt, which [𝘊𝘳𝘺𝘱𝘵𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦] I would snap up in a SICK-ond.

at least Jimmy Swaggart died

Since the Criterion Mobile Closet wasn’t wheelchair accessible I decided to bring you all into mine and show off some favorites. What should I add in?

oh they can CURSE in this crossover

"g/o media is shutting down" is the most beautiful sentence i have heard in a longggg time!!!

do yourself a favor and watch you some ping pong the animation www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z03...

There should be a Predator movie in every major city. See the Predator chasing an Elvis impersonator in Vegas, tries to catch a magician who keeps throwing illusions at him

My admiration for Lalo Schifrin would have taken me too long to discuss on Bluesky, so I turned it into a blog post. I met Schifrin once. I wish his funky Enter the Dragon theme was the Asian American national anthem. And my favorite thing he wrote for TV is his 1970 theme from Medical Center. 🧵

Wow, @timsalmons.bsky.social made my morning by posting this over at Movie & Video Game TV Spots, one of my favorite YouTube channels. When I was in 2nd grade, I loved the animated intro to these 1984 Kenner Super Powers Collection action figure ads. 🧵

I recently wrote the following piece about Ravi Patel's enjoyable antics on Animal Control, the single-camera sitcom that's represented in the GIF.

29 years ago today (July 2, 1996*, though this UK poster has the date as July 1st), we released our 4th album ‘Stakes is High’ featuring “Itzsoweezee (Hot)”, “The Bizness” ft. Common, “Big Brother Beat” ft. Mos Def, the title track “Stakes is High” & more #ThankYouDave 🕊️ delasoul.lnk.to/stakesishigh

It’s time for an American James Bond with vocal fry

The New York Times listed the 100 best movies of the century and THE NICE GUYS wasn’t on the list so what are we even doing here.

Here's a piece of music by the late Lalo Schifrin that you have probably heard more times than his MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE theme, especially if you grew up in the 1970s. It's the "Color ID" logo Schifrin composed for Paramount Television: #filmsky #music #tvsky #moviesky

Phenomenally recognisable scores (love his work for THX-1138) but also has a great back catalogue of albums full of great, fun stuff like 'what if Bach... was JAZZ'

I got nostalgic and started listening to Soul Train's A Comin' by O'Bryan 😅 youtu.be/VKeUm5eXUKg?...

Rebel Base: Luke, you switched off your targeting computer, what's wrong? Luke: Shut up shut up shut UP i just need to think

After a FNL S2 rewatch, I don't think the Landry thing ranks near the top of unfortunate subplots. #1 has to be Saracen's fling with Carlotta, his grandma's live-in caregiver. There's a moment where she virtually says, "I have to go now, my planet needs me" and that planet is Guatemala.

Little-known fact: The line he's saying here during these opening credits is "I'll get you, He-Man!"

RIP Jonathan Joss, who for my money was the best part of Parks and Rec.

You ever just start thinking about Maggie Cheung in The Heroic Trio?

BLUESKY USER WATCHING SPORTS BLOOPERS: Hmm, ok. See, the ball is actually supposed to go through the hoop, not into the referee's balls. They're not going to score any points for that.
