THANK you; this is why I can’t brook ‘reasonable’ discussion of AI: whatever its tangible benefits/actual advantages, those talking about them ignore the immense psychic/environmental damage it’s causing, or that it’s shoved down our throats by the worst people with anti-worker/racist goals

He's got the energy of a hard-won trans muscle daddy. Or trans muscle mommy. So... my sweet boy.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

Vote Little Mermaid NOW! A travesty is about to happen!

Local Seacoast NH Snapshot - Week of February 13th, 2026: Lots to see, not all as satisfying as hoped, but plenty that's interesting. Hope to see NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE before it's gone. Happily don't need to rush for WUTHERING HEIGHTS, what minor interest it may be at this point.

here is how you get into Wiseman

Fuck, this hurts. The greatest documentarian, no true peers, who never stopped once. Bless him and every second of his work, and there were an ENDLESS amount of seconds!

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.

I always gravitate towards pre-fame TV work of who would become significant star actors, especially when they pop up in my favourite shows. Robert Duvall is stellar in his Outer Limits two-parter The Inheritors and one of the best hour-long Twilight Zone episodes Miniature. He always had it.

Robert DuVall was unbelievable, especially in his era. He seemed modest in comparison to his contemporaries like Pacino or De Niro or Hoffman, but unlike them you could plug him into most roles like a character actor, and trust him with the heavy stuff too.

I will put MOANA in the ground. HUNCHBACK far and away. So much of this movie I find stunningly gorgeous in a way few Disney films have reached.

The 💙 for Clara & the Below has been incredible and I couldn't let you start the weekend without hearing some of the amazing music we're brewing. That's right, TJ Hill, composer of #Amphibia & #TheOwlHouse is BACK. Enjoy this teasiest of teases and follow our KS page below👇

WE'RE GREENLIT, YA'LL!!! (I'm not watching this yet~ I'll be reacting to the video in 30 minutes on stream ;D) BUT YAY!! MORE #KNIGHTSOFGUINEVERE IS COMING YOUR WAY!!! ❤️🧡 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oC8...

Oh fuck, they're really making something here!

I am voting very earnestly for ALADDIN. But I also would find it very funny if I evened the odds in POOH's favor by bringing up my even-more-earnest love for the reviled live-action remake. So I'm doing that.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Okay, I feel crazy for this, but FROZEN. This is my sole CG-era boost. I think there's actually sincere beauty in there. And I oddly can't find quite the same joy for ALICE. More applicable to the "stylish drug trip" accusations that THREE CABALLEROS was unfairly saddled with.

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

I was so touched by all the kind messages I received yesterday. It has given me a lot of encouragement for what will now be a big swing: My next animated project will be the first episode of a gothic horror interpretation of the Nutcracker called "Clara and the Below."

This is tough, cause BAMBI has moments of such ethereal beauty... and FANTASIA 2000 does too. It's hampered having a recycled segment & some played more for levity than art in there, but at least 3 of them are stunning works of art. Want a 3rd FANTASIA. No trust in current Disney to do it well.

While I love Beauty and the Beast, I hope Three Caballeros wins in the last stretch purely out of spite because the way people have gotten angry about its existence/chance at winning and been absurdly dismissive over its excellent artistry has me fully Jokerfied.

I do have a sincere love for BEAUTY AND THE BEAST as well, but the sheer amount of "Y'all are high and crazy and could not *possibly* be in your right minds" has me rooting for CABALLEROS to put up a strong fight, if only to get people to respect it the way it deserves.

The whole "y'all are getting carried away with your quirky bird comedy" is some real normie majority supremacy. And does strengthen my resolve in favor of said quirky birds. THREE CABALLEROS is also a stunning work of classic cinema not to be undervalued.

this movie would have been incredible. the amount of talent, heart, and soul the studios are scrapping left and right is just staggering

When even the people who have made successful hits in Hollywood can’t even get anything made past pre production these days, Y’know your industry is currently fucked up in the head

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Fuck this stupid world. I’m pissed. One of the things I was most earnestly looking forward to, scrapped for fucking “reasons” - probably the same ones that led to Sony selling KPop Demon Hunters to Netflix. Real fucking angry.

Local Seacoast NH Snapshot - Week of February 6th, 2026: No. Really, there's no need. Universe made me pay for having variegated interest in all four films coming out this weekend by giving us... worse than nothing the week before. Bottom 4 really feel like personification of ghoulish death.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions. Then covered it up again when caught. Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

it’s weird, to run this website and have a very distinct marker for how much people care about what’s happening in Minnesota it feels especially not great to look at as eviction notices start to get served for families are still locked down hiding from ICE, who are still roving the streets

Stuart, Kevin and Bob will not return. They're not here. And they will not return.

How do I breathe without you, if you ever go? How will I EVER!!! EVER SURVIVE!?!!?!!

Look, some rallying cry for classic Disney is worth it. This ain't it. Y'all may have let the live-action abomination soil your hearts on LILO & STITCH. I haven't.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

Local Seacoast NH Snapshot - Week of January 30th, 2026: Finally, I like a lot of things again! Still shunted from SILENT HILL cause of evening shows, but ARCO and SEND HELP keeping me satisfied. In spite, you know, a pox upon our cinemas being present.

fuck that. no excuses. it doesn't matter how """uninvolved""" rowling is, she will still profit from this work and inevitably use that money to continue to influence legislature against trans people. if you're not with us, you're against us. that's it.

bring every baby home now

Evil pairing. You can’t make me vote against him. You can’t.

We've let the party become so filled with rules obsessives (whose strongest conviction is that rules are good without much mind to what they mean or who they should protect) that the only weapons our opposition can possibly imagine using are investigations, citations, and slaps on the wrist

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

Tabling all the reasons this is hideous, repulsive, unnecessary and Aronofsky's a hack who's abandoned all creative value... What's the fucking point of a historical film starring nobody recognizable where nobody gets to wear fun costumes & makeup? A desperate flex to make something joyless.

The abject cruelty displayed here and in countless other situations is exactly why "abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved" is the floor.

Local Seacoast NH Snapshot - Week of January 23rd, 2026: Finally putting an end to 2025, but attempts to see RETURN TO SILENT HILL thwarted by theaters adhering to evening-only showtimes. I know a callously abandoned gem when I see one.

I haven't lost my taste for live-action cinema. But my love of animation has occupied such a core in me that often my favorite live-action films are those showing equal attention, care & passion in construction. Passion is what I often find lacking. It's painfully obvious when it's not there.

Me forming my Top 25 of 2025 list: "Of course, I must put Paul Anderson on my list. How could I *NOT* put Paul Anderson on my list?" The person who knows my tastes & humor: "...you motherfucker. You motherfucker, I swear..."

Sinners > The Secret Agent > Marty Supreme > One Battle After Another > Frankenstein > Bugonia > Sentimental Value > Train Dreams > F1 > Hamnet

I really wanna punish my local Regal for their "evening showtimes only" practice for independent horror. I can't see RETURN TO SILENT HILL and get a bus back after, especially since local public transit hours end infuriatingly early. So infuriating.

Going with the one that's prettier (by FAR), with the absolute silent, validly petty queen.
