Never put Cobra Kai in charge of the dojo.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

If you watch Jaws backwards, it is a heartwarming story about a shark who gives arms and legs to people who need them.

Wife leaves for the weekend and you try out some seafood recipes (which she abhors), catch up on laundry, and fill in some Kurosawa blindspots (as in, nearly all of the man's work). This is what real men do. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched boxd.it/283xd

What's the easiest 5/5 stars you've ever given a movie? #FilmSky

Question for the guy at the next gas pump with three Trump flags on his trailer, anti-Biden stickers, “SHUT THE FUCK UP” cutoff shirt, and white rap blasting lyrics about women’s sports and Black Lives Matter: 1) How complicated was the algorithm from which you sprung? 2) Aren’t you exhausted?

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Love that Netflix went full Hitchcock this month. And Harrison Ford has done way too few roles where he plays a romantic goof. He’s good at them. boxd.it/283xd

KETAMINE vs. ADDERALL.

Excellent read.

being this fucking high in public has always been my nightmare

#LetterboxdFriday Wife refers to the top of every month is my Christmas - as I excitedly window-shop all the streamers for “just added” titles. Thus, the end of every month is Finals Week, as I cram in the “leaving soon” titles. So goes my #LastFourWatched. boxd.it/283xd

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you

Mitch McConnell is retiring after 40 years of working hard to make Kentucky one of the poorest, most under-educated, and unhealthy states in the US.

FUCK. THIS. All of this.

My two favorite fellas spouting some hilarity about meeting Pope Francis - 17:30 mark. youtu.be/c-zQTeovs7A?...

Kilmer = Cruise + One massive freak flag, forever at full mast. RIP.

Huh. WaPo has some life in it yet!

THE YouTube thumbnail for the ages. #FilmSky

This is the most hilarious corruption ever.

“New Pope, Who Dis?”😆

Hackman didn’t to play “warmth” often, but when he did, he NAILED it. (He’s reportedly channeling Richard Donner here, which makes it even better.) #RIP #FilmSky

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky Of the Best Picture noms, I still need to catch THE SUBSTANCE and NICKEL BOYS … and finish EMILIA PEREZ. Oh, and another late-night Roku GODFATHER rewatch. Resistance is futile. And, late-night Corman at FilmScene Iowa City! boxd.it/283xd

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky In the streaming era, I forgot what it’s like to flip channels, land on a classic, and get instantly hooked. It happened twice this week - AI and GODFATHER II. Thanks, Roku!

Oh my GAWD.

Follow the money ...

Wondering if I could get away with a YKY MFER personalized license plate …

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday #FilmSky I hate so many stupid, cruel elements of this alternate-reality historical timeline we're sloshing through. Except being able to say "Oscar-winning leading man Ke Huy Quan" is still pretty cool.

That word “protection” sends a chill.

A reality check for the power-drunken.

Can't believe A COMPLETE UKNOWN didn't climax with that time Dylan sang on Letterman using a Martian dialect.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Hadn’t watched anything in weeks. Thank God for the flu. boxd.it/283xd

An historical perspective I didn’t know I needed.

I still remember my first watch of MULHOLLAND DR. Starting the DVD at 11 pm on a weeknight, intending a 30m watch - tops. Instant addiction; no discernible distance between the screen and my brain. The Lynch magic making our dreams and nightmares tangible. And rewatchable.

@icfilmscene.bsky.social is the warmest place to hide …

It takes a certain kind of man who follows reading “sauce will thicken as it stands” with singing “doo-dahhhh, doo-dahhh” out loud. Fortunately for me and everyone within earshot … I am that man.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Just three this week (the PBS Da Vinci doc called my name). Raided Prime for some new originals and an old classic - the only Kubrick I haven’t seen. (Only 20 minutes in, though.) boxd.it/283xd

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday Got reacquainted with some old faves this week (and got a reminder of how purely pleasurable OUT OF SIGHT was). LOST IN TRANSLATION is hands/down my favorite movie ending.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched I needed comfort food this week, for some reason.
