oh okay so maybe if we tell him he’s the best boy enough times he’ll just do it to himself

some good news for once!! Monica is such a great writer and The A.V. Club is smart to scoop her up. congrats @mcastimovies.bsky.social ❤️

I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

for once i'd just like to open an email and see the hamster dance. is that too much to ask

I started covering this last year, and I can't overstate how important this is: the Trump administration officially labeled some of the most commonly-used forms of birth control as 'abortion' jessica.substack.com/i/173447780/...

every once in a while I remember this 2015 Vulture Joss Whedon profile vignette

The president is a rapist pedophile

Since 2011 anytime I interviewed anyone involved in OCEANS TWELVE I’ve asked them a version of, “Since Tess knows she looks like Julia Roberts, does everyone else on the team know they look like famous people?” I finally put all of their answers together in this post

I'm sorry... how many years ago?

Pete Hegseth called them “narco terrorists” and the official statement from the Trump administration called it a training camp for drug traffickers. It was a dairy farm. They murdered Ecuadorian farmers. With our money. The War on Drugs has always been a fascist plot to kill Black and Brown people

having now seen Mercy, i feel comfortable describing Chris Pratt as propaganda. also what is Rebecca Ferguson doing in this and why isn't she called Ms. Anthropic? the movies suck now.

Lindy West, Elizabeth Gilbert and the Nightmare of the Personal Essay Industrial Complex

I can't recall a time when more talented reporters and writers on movies and culture who have real skill and knowledge are struggling to find a foothold. We live in an "Everyone's an expert" era. But everyone isn't. Editors: Please take a chance on folks you haven't tried before. Read their clips!

"Being aware is really easy to do, and if just being aware becomes in itself a virtue, then there’s the potential for an ecosystem that is centered around showing other people how much you know." excellent writing from @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

wig technology really hasn't changed much

they are discovering things we’ve never heard of on tubi

I hate to say it, but. . .things got worse. Screenshot with our terrible update. Donate if you can: gofund.me/b464eebef

doing the most unemployed shit imaginable

guess it's my turn. just got fired from my job as editor at movieweb. if you're looking for a writer/editor with over 15 years of experience, hit me up.

we're about 1/3 of the way to our goal. any help, even sharing, that you can give would be wonderful.

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

he really is the gayest president

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

just saw Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie again, and it felt so good to be reminded that movie magic still exists right now

@julieklausner.bsky.social has always been on top of this one

Hearing a lot of dire shit about Max Landis today and I just want to jump in to say he should eat a bag of dicks in whatever room in Hell they have reserved for his dad.

announcing this the day after paramount wins the WB bid is diabolical

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

has david zaslav ever tried using paramount plus

[guy who sang baby beluga] the festering belly is splitting, each half digested soul fumbling for a knife

here's the thing about anthology movies: they're too fucking long

I tend to treat the relationship as more symbiotic than anything, but I will say that people who don't understand media continuing to buy up media outlets and having no idea what editors do has been a silent killer of digital media for some time. It's not just our job to fix copy.

starting to think there's something wrong with culture rn

would love if you read this, I put a lot into it, thanks!

it would be kind of awesome if Ryan from The O.C. takes down the Trump Bros.
