You know who else were fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, and who got up every morning to try and make their communities safer? Nazis.

The longer I live, the more I feel that not taking things personally is the key to being a good person.

Today isn’t the day that we all start our Hulu subscriptions again or even tune into Kimmel’s broadcast tonight. The message sent by canceling the services matters and showing them that we will just come running back after leverage is acknowledged opens this up to happen again, rinse and repeat.

The thing is, being autistic doesn't need to be "stopped" or "cured" or further demonized. The entire conversation is wrong.

"Charlie Kirk will talk to anyone" is only true in the way that missionaries will go to developing nations to evangelize. He wasn't looking for conversation or real dialogue. He just wanted to preach to developing minds.

Cinephilia in 2025: Listening to four rich guys sit around and humblebrag about who owns the most 4k blu-rays

I thought people would be sad at Charlie Kirk's funeral, but I'm seeing a lot of laughing and dancing and drunk people. More like an asshole's wake

I'm gonna watch SLIVER tonight to confirm my opinion that it's the hottest anyone has ever been in a movie, and no I'm not talking about Billy Baldwin

The fact that a group called ANTIFAscist is your enemy is a pretty good indicator that you’re a fascist.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Boycott is still on. At least until Kimmel is back on the air.

Relistening to Fiona Apple's "The Idler Wheel," and it really is an incredible album. Maybe her best, although nothing can ever really top "When the Pawn" as my personal favorite.

Still waiting for a single film critic or editor to commit to boycotting Disney’s fall slate.

This man is one of the campaign’s super volunteers, the nicest dude you’ll ever meet, wildly dependable, and apparently capable of taking the coolest photo of 2025.

I'm disappointed that I haven't seen one film critic pledge not to cover Disney's fall slate until Jimmy Kimmel's show is restored. Public statements mean nothing without action behind them. We ask the talent to not participate in a press tour, but we won't make sacrifices of our own?

These statements mean nothing in their critics continue covering Disney’s films.

You are here. (h/t @seanhowe.bsky.social)

Film critics, will you refuse to cover these movies?

Film critics, will you refuse to cover these movies?

New song just dropped.

I came out of film critic retirement to write about THE NATURAL, and how Redford single-handedly revived my favorite kind of movie. decider.com/2025/09/18/t...

I won’t be watching any of these either. The boycott is on.

Fuck ‘em.

The reason Bernie is persuasive to Independents and Republicans is because he has a clear vision for the country. He has an explanation for why things are so bad, and he has solutions. That's all people want. Republican, Democrat, MAGA, progresssive...if you have a coherent vision, you win.

I miss the era when Sam Rockwell would sneak dancing and a Christopher Walken impression into every role

Mustaches are by nature divisive.

Stating that political violence is *never* acceptable is a lot like saying it's never okay to abuse an animal. It's an ideal we like to profess, and maybe we would never personally do it, but we will tolerate a whole helluva lot of it.

Thank you Robert Redford for BASEketball

Redford made movies about disillusionment, chronicling people who slowly realize just how little they know about the system they're operating in. SNEAKERS is just the comic inverse of 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR. His beauty was important because he was a god being brought low by human frailty.

Top 5 underseen Redford films: 1. The Hot Rock 2. Downhill Racer 3. All is Lost 4. The Great Waldo Pepper 5. The Old Man and the Gun

Robert Redford revived the baseball movie with THE NATURAL. The film was a modest hit, but Redford was a tastemaker in Hollywood, and his involvement brought renewed interest to the fading genre. Without it, we wouldn't have had BULL DURHAM, EIGHT MEN OUT, FIELD OF DREAMS, or any of the rest.

There is no doubt in my mind that living our lives online contributes to a culture of political violence. A story. Last month, my car wouldn't start, so I needed to get it towed to the dealership an hour away. AAA sent a two guy. Let's call him Chris. (1/x)

… and highest among Christian nationalists.

I didn't watch the Emmys last night, but someone tell me that Seth Rogen thanked Sal Saperstein.

People are comparing the murder of the Hortmans to Charlie Kirk to show leftists don't seek vengeance for their assassinations, but it's not really a good comp. Kirk was a celebrity. People had parasocial relationships with him. The left doesn't really have anyone like that. Which is interesting.

Solemate: an app for foot fetishists

He didn't bridge disagreements. What he did with "Prove Me Wrong" was the debate equivalent of creating a wrestling persona--watch me take on, and take down, all comers! Nothing he did suggests that he was honestly open to persuasion by others or to tempering his numerous ugly, bigoted stances. >

I woke up this morning with the term "prima facie" in my head. Apparently, it's a legal term. I have never used it before. I'm not sure I've ever heard it before. Where did it come from?

It's funny when dating app profiles clearly show a person is not over their last relationship: "What I'm looking for: SOMEONE WHO WILL FOLLOW THROUGH ON THEIR PROMISES"

Hot take: We should not have sports.

Things that will make me swipe right on your dating app profile: "brunch" if you think the unique name of a particular group of animals is a fun fact you holding up a dead fish a desire to travel (usually code for "take me places, and pay for it") if you want someone who "knows what they want"

Everyone is praising Charlie Kirk for engaging in open, honest debate, but what he did on college campuses, even if you agree with his mostly hateful views, was not helpful. It was competitive debate. Nobody learned anything from his antics. What we actually need is conversation.

Okay let’s get back to that birthday book

I feel for Charlie Kirk's family and friends. I'm finding it difficult to muster much sympathy for Kirk himself.

My friend just sent me the close-up video of Kirk being shot. He said it was an NSFW video. I thought it was gonna be tits or something. Don't watch it.

I don’t understand why I didn’t see a single word of grief in my feed for the Israeli victims of this week’s Palestinian terror attack. I thought we didn’t hold civilians responsible for their government’s actions. I believe Israel is committing genocide. But I still grieve for lives lost anywhere.

Sean Manaea is unpitchable right now.

Hey, just a reminder that I've recorded two albums and a single this year, and you can listen to them all right here. noahgittell.bandcamp.com
