I'm able to watch and enjoy Louis CK's comedy. I feel his crimes were not as severe as others do. Based on the interviews (and the bits that addressed it), it's clear to me he's done an appropriate amount of self-reflection. I don't expect anyone else to feel any particular way. That is all.

I tried to watch my first Jackass movie last night and thought it was.....dumb and unfunny? Maybe I'm a stick-in-the-mud, but these guys seem like assholes more than jackasses. It's like Borat but if the college guys in the RV had the camera.

It's weird, but I don't really watch movies anymore. Quite a change from a few years ago, I know. My nights are spent either watching baseball, working, hanging with friends, or making music. No time for film.

I've never seen a JACKASS movie.

Trying to plan something with my friends with kids: "Let's meet up at this outdoor brewery." "The kids need more room to run around." "How about this little town? They have a walkable downtown with a great candy shop." "You don't want to see my kids on candy!" HAHAHA JUST FUCKING PICK SOMEWHERE

Turns out a water sealant expert predicted the problems with the Reflecting Pool a month ago!

literally watergate

One of the reasons ZERO EFFECT is my favorite movie is it’s the ultimate Bad Dad movie. Zero is a bad father (figure) to Arlo. Arlo obviously had a bad dad, which is why he takes Zero’s abuse. Stark raped a woman and abandoned their child. And Zero is this way because his father killed his mother.

On this Father’s Day, how about a big Fuck You to the dads who abandoned us, abused us, mocked us, demeaned us, ignored us, and made us not want to have any kids of our own?

In my limited experience, having a dad is one of the worst things that can happen to you. Not quite sure why we keep doing this every year

The only hill I will die on is that S4 of SEINFELD is the greatest season of television in history.

Big news, guys. My Zero Effect tee shirt came today. I bought four of them.

Why not just get Bill Pullman?

I know I'm not supposed to talk about this, but Emily Blunt has become a real problem for me. It's not just her. It's a damn epidemic in studio filmmaking. Cosmetic surgery, Botox (and the like), hair transplants. I need actors to look like human beings in order to connect with the characters.

DISCLOSURE DAY: Well, that was annoying.

It’s crazy that the third lead from HEY DUDE is sitting courtside at the NBA finals.

I don't understand the NBA. These guys are just beating the shit out of each other on every play. How does the referee decide when to call a foul?

Trump is the Mothman of bad New York sports moments

I found it amusing when a Rewatchables discussion about how Bill and CR would never do a cigarette ad was interrupted by an ad about processed meats, which are literally carcinogenic

Calling The Fabelmans an "acoustic" Spielberg movie is freaking brilliant. Kudos, Matt.

"The dishes are done, man." Say this to anyone born between 1977 and 1982, and they will know exactly what you're talking about.

Want some good news? Just found out the SAVE act died again in the Senate. It was close, but your pushbacks and your calling and your rage worked. They wouldn't be working overtime to silence all of us if it didn't matter. Keep fighting, keep resisting. 💪

The thing about Junior Mints is that they're not really smaller than regular mints.

“The discomfort with how I present myself has faded a little in recent years. I suppose we grow older, weather difficult times, and somewhere along the way that morbid introspection subsides. It has been replaced, it seems, by a growing compassion and acceptance of myself.” - Nick Cave

You know what was great about Siskel & Ebert? They didn't spend half of every episode analyzing box office and pretending to be industry insiders. They just watched the movies and talked about their reactions.

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

Jason Mantzoukas in THE DICTATOR, THE HOUSE, and SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE is as good as a three-film run as a comic supporting actor has ever had.

I got it wrong. It’s actually the final scene.

Jonathan Ossoff out here looking like he's about to strike out The Whammer

The fact that not even Taffy Brodesser-Akner could write anything interesting about "Tilly Norwood" should tell you all you need to know about AI

Trump bought stock in the UFC’s parent company while promoting fights set to take place at the White House on his birthday, HuffPost has learned

Freelancing is hard enough already, and inflation sucks. Defector is raising our base freelance rates by 20 percent. Great time to pitch us. Email me or [email protected]

I gotta be honest. "What does this mean for the future of moviegoing" is my least favorite type of analysis these days. Just dig into the movie. Tell me what it made you feel and think about.

Jesus I'm crying already just from this image

I wrote bout this once upon a time, but as entertaining as these pieces are, I can't help but feel we've really lost the plot when a talented and knowledgeable film critic like Singer is incentivized to consume some the most toxic foods our system has ever produced

This is already so much better than The Late Show. He was never quite suited for a mass audience.

My movie brain is so dead that I was with someone yesterday who was trying to remember the name of a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, and I said, "They've never been in a movie together!"

There will be a point in my life when my longest-running relationship is with Seinfeld. I must accept this.

The DNC is failing all of us.

Typos in books are cool now? Phew!

The DNC is failing all of us.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Why has/will no one seen/see this movie?

!!!!

One thing I've never been able to figure out is why more people haven't seen THE SIXTH, an A24 documentary about January 6, 2021. It's a riveting film with footage that makes the violence of that day irrefutable. One person I know has rated it on Letterboxd. ONE.

Maybe you are all just listing famous acts because other people will know them, but I *implore* you all to go see local music. There are incredible musicians playing right in your backyard, and it probably costs like $5 bucks to get in

Introduce yourself with ten (local Cleveland) bands you've seen live (in the last year): Rainbow Captain Moon Echo Garden Cowboy Princess Brigade Miguel Cafe BADJR Emergence Ensemble Apostle Jones The Morning Bird The Michael Weber Show Shortt Stories

The only version of my death that really scares me is one that comes with no warning. I want to die slowly in my bed, with time to process, show gratitude, and say goodbye to my loved ones (assuming I have any at that point). A mid-air collision or bullet to the back of the head? No, thank you.

I regret to inform you that I am back in on the Mets. I tried to root for a different team this year (for my mental health), but I stupidly chose the Orioles, and they are absolutely miserable. Meanwhile, the Mets have the immaculate vibes again. So....here I am.
