Have to skip a second pre-release screening of FIRE AND ASH because it's double booked with a screening of SONG SUNG BLUE but it got me thinking that at least one of these movies has the wrong title.

I can hear Guzman telling this story about visiting a porn shoot during BOOGIE NIGHTS and I cannot stop laughing.

I was having COFFEE with Thanksgiving...HALF AN HOUR AGO

Slipped cutting carrots, now my thumb is about 1/4 inch shorter. Happy Thanksgiving, be careful out there!

What if one of the most popular shows in streaming history debuted its final season and absolutely nobody cared?

Pluribus

For some reason I've had Bob Ridgely in Boogie Nights going "Oh you think so Doctor?" stuck in my head all day.

Put on the WICKED 2 screener and almost immediately turned it off when I remembered that No, I don't have to do this to myself.

Sure the Vanity Fair thing was great but this Jim Cameron episode of The Town podcast is just terrific. www.theringer.com/podcasts/the...

Whatever you think of either of them, DIE MY LOVE and TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE demand to be double featured this year.

You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it, Charlie Brown.

PTA bring Bill Macy back challenge

I think Park should do the next Tim Robinson movie.

Really liked ALPHA. A profoundly sad movie.

Rewatching UNCUT GEMS in the wake of MARTY SUPREME. Both of these movies are good, and largely for the same reasons. And yet: hmm.

CHRISTY really good, it's getting a raw deal.

Movies that Time Forgot: WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT

I continue to unironically insist that MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE is genuine (if accidental) outsider art.

Some Hashtag Screener Privilege complaining: Dude why are you sending me emails asking me to request your FYC links? Just send me the fucking links! I'm clearly already on your list!

I just want you to look at 2nd unit legend Alexander Witt's filmography and realize that he's one of those artists who has shaped modern action without anyone knowing his name. m.imdb.com/name/nm09368...

Justin Chang breaking out some of his best work in the pun department in his WICKED 2 review.

I wouldn't claim it's actual intentional autocritique (maybe it is, what the fuck do I know?) but I continue to enjoy Cruise interrogating his on/off-screen persona, late Eastwood style.

Update, now you only have to go as far as Southcenter Mall or Lynnwood for a DCP of this. Still no shows scheduled for any of the downtown Seattle screens, and no 35 or 70 at @siffnews.bsky.social.

Josh Safdie very apparently a huge REAL GENIUS fan.

After years of semi-old man-ish reluctance I finally bought bluetooth earbuds for my phone and frankly the kids were right all along.

Gave up on the IT show

IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU (2025) | D: Mary Bronstein #OnePerfectShot

Got the screening Save the Date of the year, I get married a few days later. Gonna be a good week.

HAMNET largely intolerable

Some good girl to bless your evening.

this one's for the boys who slap their jeans youtu.be/VxcMQeCuOQg?...

I keep hearing there's a huge fight over at the other place about ONE BATTLE can someone give me a precis?

Tonight after I binge watch like half of The American Revolution

Is there a full voice cast -- including who plays which role -- posted somewhere for the Ken Burns Revolutionary War doc series? All I can find is actors listed as "various roles." Anyway another banger from KB and his excellent collaborators.

I am following a third viewing of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER with a perhaps long-overdue second pass at ALOHA. No I don't know why, and don't ask.

Not a prediction, just a hope: that Carol will ask for a nuke by the end of this season.

You can't see me, I'm way in the back and directly behind Blanchett in camera line, but lemme tell you Papa is a big Lboxd guy.

I mostly did not like THE SECRET AGENT.

Tucked away in Cameron Crowe's memoir The Uncool is a great anecdote about the WE BOUGHT A ZOO sequels that never got made, WE FOUGHT A ZOO and WE BOUGHT A JAIL. Real missed opportunities.

Has this alleged WKW controversy made its way over here yet?

I know there was a lot of PEACEMAKER in the tribute montage at the end of JAY KELLY but I don't remember if there was any FROM DUSK TILL DAWN. There definitely wasn't any BATMAN & ROBIN.

KNIVES OUT movies 3/3

The state of Seattle cinema: as of now, if you want to see THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR in a few weeks, you have to go to Federal Way.

Not only is AVATAR 3 195 minutes but you have to eat two whole watermelons and drink a gallon of coffee and a sixer of Coors Banquet without using the bathroom or your AMC Stubs membership will be revoked. It's the rules, you are no longer subject to free will.
