learning shit like Med Hondo voiced Donkey in the French Shrek dub is why I listen to The Important Cinema Club

As a guy who routinely writes what I think is substandard work and whose process is still somehow like drawing blood from a stone, the insistence that everyone uses AI offends me. I write garbage on my own thank you

He looked like a man who had never cringed and never had had a creditor.

too many liminal spaces these days and not enough libidinal ones tbh

it's always "From the Director of Ida & Cold War" and never "From the Director of My Summer of Love"

Ordered an antenna to watch the finals and somebody stole the package from my front door. Having a regular one

We gotta hold the hype quote people to account. “Spielberg’s best film in 20 years,” says a guy who told you Rise of Skywalker was awesome

I didn’t direct Backrooms

Obsession: Pretty goofy whenever it tries to be a conventional horror movie but does otherwise churn the stomach often enough. Barker does not give me much hope for the new generation of horror filmmakers though. I guess it’s savvy to frame for TikTok.

Reviewed Too Many Beasts which is playing at Cannes in the Directors’ Fortnight. Strong crime movie about wild hogs that goes to some surprising, fun places. Has maybe the Frenchest ending I’ve ever seen.

see this is good because imo a toasted exterior and soft interior is what you want from a sandwich bread. toasted burger buns are still great but i would like this even more

The Samurai and the Prisoner is coming out in July and Serpent’s Path (2024) still does not have distribution. Come on

nolan mclean is broken man

though many films are So French (derogatory), there’s nothing i like more than a movie that’s So French (complimentary)

***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Coming on August 25th on #4K and Blu-ray in the US from @criterion.bsky.social: #LittleOdessa (1981)! A Dostoevskian family tragedy in the form of a gangster drama, the darkly elegant debut feature by James Gray heralded the arrival of a voice in contemporary American cinema.

seeing a kids movie (sheep detectives) in theaters is a great way to find out about a ton of upcoming movies that aren’t real

Missed what sounds like a crazy Mets comeback because I was watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at the movie theater

i hold a firm belief that no fiction podcast has ever been good. medium for dorks and losers. i do not feel this way about radio plays though

Gravity’s Rainbow The Left Hand of Darkness Titus Groan

Crazy oversight by Guardian voters to not get Freaky Deaky on the 100 best books list. I guess they're rejecting the canon but everyone says "Freaky Deaky is the best book ever written" for a good reason

Clay Holmes broken fibula. Team’s cursed

my audition went pretty well i thought but they said i was “too sexy”

getting swept by the mets has gotta hurt

Took a couple minutes to do some anthropological work

Hantavirus is no joke 😂 That's why I've started washing my hands after touching rat feces 🐀 What are doing differently to fight hantavirus?💪

would anyone know why Infuse is having way fewer problems playing files through my Plex server than Plex itself?

a great movie is three very moving and very special scenes and no bad ones

just watched Sleepless. another huge L by the “Argento lost it after Opera” bozos. okay maybe it’s only two Ls for them but good movie!

the sixers appear to be coached by lars von trier
