I’m no marketing expert I’m just a regular guy but if this was my movie I simply would never let this quote see the light of day

How our snowy landscape, rebate program, and yes, Prince, helped the local film scene thrive.

Tatsuya Nakadai was a true legend and one of the last of his kind. Obviously a standout among Kurosawa and Kobayashi's casts, but he also really tore up the screen as the lead, the villain, and occasionally both — like in Kihachi Okamoto's SWORD OF DOOM (1966). Rest easy, king

I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor. Long thread 🧵

It’s Halloweentime and Halloween means DONNIE DARKO (2001). We covered it earlier this year with @finnematic.bsky.social — check out our discussion on this moody, broody, “2000s emo kid” formative text!

Honestly we'd be a much better world if all art from over fifty years ago were just available for free instead of locked behind pay-to-watch streamers, overpriced home video releases, or just non-existent beyond piracy. Public domain takes too long and copyright owners usually suck.

Like most of the movies from the Nixonland series, The Wicker Man was a rich text and I'm glad I was able to join the gang to talk about it! I've come to appreciate it more with time and came away from this conversation liking it more than I already did. Also, the Cody's Noteys is an all-time best

I truly think Shohei Ohtani is the greatest baseball player of all time, and I'm more and more convinced it's not especially close.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

every motherfucking Democrat caved to this bullshit. JFC

I think the coolest thing you can do right now is live with integrity and care about the people around you, not just your friends and family but your community. Deny the lie they want you to believe, that taking as much as you can while giving nothing back is the goal.

If you're wondering, the indignant tone of the strong mayor's press release is because he's sick and tired of people holding him responsible for his multiple mayoral terms of failed encampment response. Mr Mayor, no one has the power to stop you from implementing your solutions.

they need to stop making all these different movies. just make one movie where everything happens

God’s fucking teeth, Warner Bros has its best year in decades off of idiosyncratic movies made for theaters led by directors and writers, like Sinners or even the overtly political Superman, and this could be the result?

I'm sorry to say this means film of the year incoming
