"Christmas Adventures Club" was a third draft punch up for our reality

smashing pumpkins? pfff. if they made American Graffiti today it’d be set in 2015. imagine it. instead of them all going to Vietnam, the text at end of the movie tells you Ron Howard canvassed for Hillary and Dreyfuss went MAGA. Uptown Funk and See You Again on the radio. Zane Lowe is Wolfman Jack.

Just teasing this as a Lauryn Hill performance DEFINITELY undersold it... #Grammys

Clipse and Tyler both released great albums in the category, too, but I did spin GNX the most of the three, so I’m not sad to see Kendrick continue his dominance in the Rap Album category.

We split a porterhouse with mushroom cream sauce, had some porter ales, had some baked potatoes and sautéed carrots and beats, and watched Conan the Barbarian. A nice Sunday night.

It's February! This month's #SOTM is Bugs Bunny! Each weeknight this week will look like this (starting at 8pE): 3 Bugs shorts 1 film 3 Bugs shorts 1 film 3 Bugs shorts Why just 1 week? Because #31DaysOfOscar kicks off on Feb 13th! #TCMParty ^JW

I'm not sure I have ever seen a more savage movie review headline than the Guardian's dismissal of Melania as a "trash remake of The Zone of Interest."

Haneke’s best, and I think he made 2-3 other masterpieces on top of this.

Finally catching up with the latest from Director Park. #NowWatching No Other Choice.

Goodnight to the brilliant and beloved Catherine O’Hara, whose presence brought so much joy to our screens. Here she is giving one of her scene-stealing performances as Gail, the Mister Softee vendor, in Martin Scorsese's AFTER HOURS (1985). ❤️

Like this Catherine O’Hara news feels so… unreal. Like it doesn’t make sense.

2025 catch-up for #LastFourWatched and #LetterboxdFriday. Pretty solid run here.

If you’re going to stick to your beliefs, do it colorfully.

i haven't done this since twitter but at the request of 1 (one) person, OSCAR NOMINEES AS SIMPSONS SCREENCAPS THREAD

Pepperidge Farm remembers hearing about the creation of a "Department of Homeland Security" after 9/11 & saying "doesn't that name sound kind of ... fascist?"

Wuthering Heights is 179 years old, why is “wuthering” still subjected to the dotted red underline on my phone?

I keep thinking about how the NRA was a pretty sensible group that taught gun safety & marksmanship until the Black Panthers started carrying guns theconversation.com/the-nras-jou...

this isn't The Big Win but it is a big win and people should feel great about it.

David Koepp is so prolific...one might even say there's tremendous levels of Koepp

in 40 minutes you'll love Perfidia and resent her, find her heroic and find her selfish, empathize with her yet ultimately fail to understand her. and then she's gone, and you feel that absence as much as Bob and Willa do. PTA and Teyana Taylor did actual magic.

the first act has the momentum of a bullet train but the indistinctness of a dream. flawlessly captures the way Pynchon's version of this character hovers around the margins of the narrative, incredibly striking yet inexplicable to all who knew her. it's just astonishing.

The real 12th Man is Apostolic Succession.

I really didn’t think we’d see spiteful political kneecapping on the level of Biden preemptively tanking Harris by making her border spokesperson so soon, but Trump holing up and going Secret Honor mode about his ballroom and making Vance be the one to whine about how brave ICE is wins.

This whole thing is amazing but this part really sings.

mr. mamdani i sincerely apologize for the mileage this image is going to get

like obviously Gremlins is looney tunes so its not supposed to be too logical but the idea of them either making or stealing little outfits and sheet music for the bit is so great to me

Only a little more than $5,000 to go! Please consider donating if you haven’t already!

Somebody please get started manufacturing these

I haven’t watched a ton of SNL lately (not since Chalamet’s episode last year, I think? Watching tonight for Teyana Taylor and Geese) but does James Austin Johnson ever take a sketch off? Or do they just put him in every single one nowadays?

I want these OBAA action figures. #SNL

No. They do not "appear to" contradict it. They contradict it.

Holy crap. This is the most damning video yet. It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face. Murder.

"Just stay cool and don't make trouble until the midterms" is not going to cut it as an opposition response to a murderous regime whose masked thugs are killing people in the streets and then attempting to round up witnesses and destroy evidence.

Rewatching MATEWAN and you want to talk about the art of casting? You'd think that Chris Cooper, Mary McDonnell, Bob Gunton and Gordon Clapp had been acting in movies for a decade, but they were all basically newcomers in 1987. Keven Tighe had mostly only done TV. Did I mention Will freakin' Oldham?

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

One Battle After Another (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2025)

This really gets to the core of what makes Vance such a detestable figure

Saw a tweet earlier that casually threw Bugonia into the category of "Oscar Bait" which I think speaks to just how much the actual concept of Oscar Bait has more or less died.
