Go to the supermarket early on Saturday morning with the other geriatrics and the music is The Partridge Family and Rose Royce, among other pleasures. Today's bonus was the checkout woman noting that I was purchasing fennel and leeks. She said, "You're a good cook," and I said, "I am."

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Anything you watch after major surgery should be viewed again later when you're lucid, just fyi. sluggish.ghost.io/two-hundreds...

They can’t air the Gavin Newsom episode of Sesame Street because what should have been a routine good will engendering television appearance took a dark turn when Mr. Snuffleupagus had to restrain Gavin with his snout because he instinctively tried to murder Oscar The Grouch

Happy Fat Tuesday from this (incredibly, real) paragraph in the book Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)

He had to go back and watch the first one before watching and reviewing this one. I sat on the couch and annotated it for him because I speak fluent Evangelical. In other news, this film features a GILMORE GIRLS alt-timeline where Jess marries Lindsay.

Valentine's Day weekend is for candy, kisses, and American Cinematheque screenings of anti-fascist, Communist, experimental films from the great Portuguese director João César Monteiro, comrades.

just saw a very good movie about a haunted vacuum cleaner

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Oh my God, these Super Bowl ads just get crazier and crazier!

On the latest Linoleum Knife, Dave and I get bratty with some new arthouse releases as well as playing a little 2025 catch-up. #filmsky 📽️ @dlelandwhite.bsky.social @linoleumcast.bsky.social

review: THE MOMENT sluggish.ghost.io/the-no-no-so...

excited to announce my new project, 15 films to be released simultaneously, one film for each member of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. I felt, and the studio agreed, that this is the only way to do justice to their story. obviously the one about the guy who dances will be a little better than the rest

ok that's a good one. i just need to take up alcoholism, smoking, tailored suits, and complaining about the inferior pastry lamination.

We're avoiding this shit entirely. We have decided as a team that these people don't need film critics coming after them, they need prosecutors.

A double dose of DaCosta, and more, on the new Linoleum Knife. #filmsky 📽️ @linoleumcast.bsky.social @dlelandwhite.bsky.social

[Stephen Miller alone in the bathroom staring at himself in the mirror] “You’re not a loser. You’re not a loser. Someday you are going to murder everyone that thinks they’re better than you. You’re going to murder them all.” Katie Miller: [emerging from the toilet] “hey are you single?”

reminded of a jamie oliver show called 15 minute meals where the only way any of the recipes could be completed in that time was to have assistants helping you and pre-doing things. then he'd serve it all on a fucking board. i watched every minute of it because the theme song was "buffalo stance"

hey girl are you a Zamboni because fuck ice

she's busy being stylish somewhere in malibu but will someone please get jason gould to show his mother the video of jake lang getting mauled by the crowd while someone blasts her rendition of 'jingle bells.' it's important.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Took a Lyft to an event downtown last night and for 40 minutes the car's EDM soundtrack was Lazy Midtempo Asshole featuring The Autotune Ghost That Lives Underwater. Where house music meets hold music.

“Fuck ICE!” chants & a brass band performing “Which side are you on?” as hundreds march in Manhattan, NYC against ICE and in solidarity with Minneapolis.

I wrote about the incomparable Béla Tarr. www.newyorker.com/culture/post...

RIP Béla Tarr Here he is explaining the reasons for setting up the film.factory, his film school for aspiring young filmmakers. ‘Not anymore this fucking provincial, nationalistic shit.’ Amen to that.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

I was in pajamas by 6pm and in bed by 9 and meanwhile Diana Ross, an entirely other level of superior human being, was jumping out of a Times Square crowd in freezing temps wearing a sequined gown ready to sing "The Boss."

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Based on one of multiple versions of a Pushkin poem, the 1910 film RUSALKA tells the tale of a prince who seduces and abandons a miller's daughter. She throws herself into the river and is reborn as a water nymph, then drowns him on his wedding day and uses his corpse as underwater decor.
