You know, I think John Carpenter is one of my all time favourite directors.

I have listened to the new Taylor Swift and my only real opinion about it is that she should leave the innuendo game to Sabrina Carpenter.

I somehow missed that Troll 2 has a trailer. I hope this is as fun as the first one. youtu.be/HF3NFXPcYRg?si=RvKJi...

The International Film Society Critics Best 100 Films of the 21st Century (So Far) is now available in full, including the all-important top ten. Here's a thread with all the posts and a few points of interest 🧵 #Film #IFSCA100 #Movies

What in the actual fuck.

We Bury The Dead looks like a movie I'll enjoy. Also, legitimately funny that a zombie movie was made by a company called Umbrella. youtu.be/FvuU_iWoTCw?si=DVZCx...

Of course Jimmy Fallon is the first to fold, and preemptively.

I wrote about Black Rabbit which is a pretty rote, predictable show with three good performances in it. movieswetextedabout.com/black...

I did not like The Lost Bus. exclaim.ca/film/article/the-l...

Inspired by this years New York Times Best of the Century so far, I organized a similar poll with my fellow members of the International Film Society Critics. The first part of our 100 Best of the 21st Century is now live, counting down numbers 100 to 76. Link in the first reply! #IFSCA100

I have found the change in macOS 26 that bugs me the most, and it's in Reminders. Instead of having a tag field I can type into that auto-completes, you have to open the reminder, select tags, and pick from a list that a) may extend off-screen and b) doesn't scroll. (yes, I use a lot of tags)

Eleanor the Great is a solid directorial debut for Scarlett Johansson and an excellent showcase for June Squibb writes @smatthew.bsky.social thatshelf.com/eleanor-the-... #EleanorTheGreat

I write code in my day job and let me just say I'm very happy to see the tide on LinkedIn turning against vibe coding finally.

Today I've seen at least four different people in four different places type "loose" when they meant "lose" and it's driving me nuts.

I didnt write about #Wayward but my brief review is that it stumbles toward the end, but will ultimately still be an important work if only for the trans representation. 
Also, it's incredibly Canadian in its cast and I love that, too.

Finally saw the lineup for that Riyadh Comedy Festival and I'm old enough that to me it's like 50% "I don't know who that is" and 30% "yeah that tracks" and 10 % "I didn't realize they were still working" and 5% "oh that's disappointing"

The trailer for Greenland 2 looks like exactly my kinda thing. youtu.be/H8ieN10lX40?si=bWGAe...

The steelbook of 28 Years Later is *gorgeous* #PhysicalMedia

I have finally watched #FantasticFourFirstSteps, and I found it incredibly frustrating. I wrote a brief note about it over on Letterboxd. boxd.it/bbKTEz

Finally watching Fantastic Four and aside from any other consideration or comment, I do really love the retro-future aesthetic.

The Astronaut looks like it could be fun, and also someone clearly loves Jurassic Park www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF3gd...

The new season of #StarWars Visions is far more exciting to me than The Mandalorian & Grogu. youtu.be/SuOQbmC9PQk?si=hyWbX...

1500 people signed up to announce they're on the wrong side of history. Wild stuff. variety.com/2025/film/global/...

The government has announced a bunch of changes to Canada Post, which will save money, but the one thing they could and should do but haven't is reaffirm it as a service provider rather than a business and remove the mandate for it to be sustained by its own revenue only www.cbc.ca/news/politics/c

Here's a trailer for the The Hand that Rocks the Cradle remake. This is one of those "does this need a remake?" movies but also "I love this entire cast so hopefully it's good" movies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfHQW...

Anyone else remember how in ICQ you could send an alarm noise to someone to get their attention? It was super obnoxious and the worst, and sometimes, just sometimes, when I am in a zoom meeting or waiting on a slack response.... I miss it a little bit.

The rapture? In this economy?

The single best thing about The Mandalorian is now, and has always been, that it gave us another amazing Ludwig Göransson score.

Can someone just make this movie already? If we're going to do cynical nostalgia bait they we may as well cater to my nostalgia specifically.

This teaser for The Mandalorian and Grogu is good teaser in that it shows a bunch of quick shots of cool looking stuff. I'm not sure I could be less excited for it :-/ #StarWars youtu.be/_pa1KLXuW0Y?si=gN4SH...

I just watched the #StarTrek episode The Inner Light for the first time in a while and now there appears to be something in my eyes.

#NowWatching a classic on glorious UHD Blu-Ray

I am not going to give this dingus more of the attention he is seeking, but: - She was fired because she was a transphobic anti-masker who was causing strife with the actual star of the show, and was warned to stop. - The idea that a show with her might have "saved the franchise" is hilarious.

I've now updated my Mac, iPhone, iPad, and watch, and my opinion about #LiquidGlass is that the bigger the screen, the better the experience.

A science fiction story set in a dystopian future where people speak like the Children of Tama/Tamarians from Star Trek, but it's all Simpson's references is this anything?

It's amazing how many movies and books and shows there are that are super popular and won awards and everyone liked that are directly about what America is going through right now, and it seems like not enough people got the message and even worse, lots of people thought they were how-to guides.

I can't watch The Summer I Turned Pretty finale until tonight so if everyone could just shush about it until then, I'd be much obliged.

I updated my devices to iOS/macOS 26 and liquid glass is either really cool or really annoying, depending on what is behind whatever you are looking at.

I updated my phone and my first impression actually using liquid glass is that a lot of whether you like it or not is going to depend on what you choose as your background image.

Woke up to the news that Robert Redford has passed. RIP to a legend.

This trailer for Tron: Ares is directly playing on my nostalgia and you know what? It's working. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_bVk...

Wait, the Parliament of Canada stood and applauded for Charlie Kirk today? The American podcaster and hate monger who one called Canada "screwed up"? I hate this timeline

The tribalism in fandom is so weird.

I hate open concept offices.

Fellow movie/tv nerds, I guarantee you that you will have a happier time if you celebrate last night's winners instead of lamenting that your personal favourite didn't take home an award. This actually goes for all awards shows.

I saw this on TT. One more time I'm begging people to watch the shows they're watching. Literally all of this is explained if you pay attention.

Nika & Madison is a necessary story for both our time and our nation and gives a face and voice to missing and murdered Indigenous women writes @smatthew.bsky.social thatshelf.com/nika-madison...

This person is talking about Thunderbolts, and I am begging people actually to watch the movies they are watching.
