Do you feel like reality has become stranger than fiction? Here is some strange fiction that captures the absurdity of our present late-stage reality. Scifi meets satire in Alexander Payne's DOWNSIZING (2017) and Boots Riley's SORRY TO BOTHER YOU (2018). Join us! Sunday 3/15 #twincinemamovieclub 📽️

Watching these congresspeople of color make the people’s case against the Epstein class and cheering 🙌 more more more!

Bondi sounds like she needs a lorazepam 🤣

using rude initials at work, like follow-up = FU pick-up = PU back-order = BO these are the little things that get me through the day

Twin Cinema Movie Club bonus feature: Bela Tarr's DAMNATION (1988) 5pm Saturday at the Cleveland Cinematheque! 📽️ cinematheque.cia.edu/movies/damna...

Humans have existed for 300,000 years and we got to be alive at the same time as Catherine O'Hara 📽️ 👸

What’s the opposite of seated? When something should be for me but I could not be less seated? I’m standing at the exit, I’m running away from the theater #wutheringheights #beatlesquadrilogy 📽️

Art is politics. When our culture is in a crisis, engaging with art deeply and critically is not a distraction or escapism. It’s essential to understanding where we are and how we got here. We can’t deprogram ourselves from ideology unless we can identify it, and it is embedded in our art. 📽️

Feeling bleak? Like you don't know where we go from here and you're not sure you wanna find out? You're not alone. Wintry despair is our movie mood for February. Misery loves company, so watch a couple of poetically pessimistic films & then join us for a warm cup of coffee & camaraderie 📽️ #filmsky

A lot of people don't understand how the 2A supporters are so okay with this, and the answer (as brilliantly explained by Carol Anderson in her book "The Second" ) is that the 2A has never been about protecting everyone's right to bear arms, but rather protecting white people's property USING guns.

or, to quote another reference that has been bouncing around in my head more and more over the past days, weeks and months: “there are four lights”

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

If you're just getting involved now, be patient with overloaded organizers and remember just like with donations, it's often more helpful to be able to commit a little bit of time over a long period of time than a lot for one day.

Remember that the #Sinners #Oscars nominations is Sinners making the Oscars relevant, not the Oscars making Sinners relevant. The Oscars want in on the party that Sinners was already throwing just fine on its own 📽️ #filmsky

Speaking of soup, here is the soup I made today bc I’m so pleased w it. Butternut squash soup w cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder and Sazon, topped with fried chorizo and cilantro 😍

Controversial opinion: I don’t mind the streaming show ‘explain the plot again, describe what you’re doing’ model. Not everyone is mindlessly scrolling like a zombie. Things I do w TV on: cleaning, cooking, crafting. This is why rewatching is so popular. We are spread thin 📽️

time loop vs time travel - maybe there's a better term than 'time loop.' maybe 'predestination'? time travel might be a single trip to the past or future, a 'fish out of water' story. time loop deals with paradoxes and inevitability, & asks questions about free will and fate 📽️ #timeloop #filmsky

It’s Time Loop Movies weekend! 📽️

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday 📽️ I’m fine 😬

My last shred of hope for humanity on the internet is probably Wikipedia. I use it daily, I give every time they ask

That video of Ben Carson drinking whole milk is an old clip from Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job! and nothing will convince me otherwise

This may come as a shock to you, but I wrote a thing. Begins with ICE violence in Minnesota, ends with the Buddhist walk for peace across the Southeast. Discusses the profound weakness of the administration in the middle.

Jimmy Kimmel’s line from last night “double bacon Nuremberg with cheese” is now permanently lodged in my brain

One of the best episodes of one of the best podcasts. You’re not helpless, and you’re already helping more then you realize 💙

me: listens to 81 riotgirl songs in a row the algo: would you like to hear a song by this punk band that is all men? me 🖕⏩🖕

Currently 1/3 of the way through Cory Doctorow's ENSHITTIFICATION audiobook on LIbby and I knew things were bad but I am galled at how brazen it all is. These tech oligarchs hate us, y'all. They think we're scum & they will skin us however they can. I'm listening to the whole book w my jaw dropped

Everyone’s posting Alan Rickman tributes today so here’s mine: his Colonel Brandon is the best / my favorite Jane Austen romantic hero across every adaptation of every book (and I’ve seen them all) 📽️

Great thread, 5 bagger 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 📽️

I think Kanopy is the best streaming service for movie lovers. I like to check it once a month to see what new releases it has. There's always some gems I haven't seen, many times never even heard of, before #FilmSky 📽️

one of my petty joys in life is secretly flipping people off. if i'm mad at you and you're on the other side a wall from me, just know that behind that wall you are getting flipped off 🖕 that'll teach ya

This is the only year I can remember that I think most of the nominees are truly excellent, and even so I think they should all be embarrassed to be in that room goofing around in front of Jafar Panahi and not giving him all the awards. A legend. He is too good for them, but awards help his cause 📽️

a blue whale’s anus can stretch up to over 3 feet making it the 2nd largest asshole in the world behind jd vance

live footage of me in my work inbox rn 📽️

Nourishment comes in many forms. Sometimes that form is binge watching Keanu fuck up a bunch of douchebags while bathed in neon light 📽️

I started the day planning to spend my Friday night eating leftovers and watching a 2.5 hour black-and-white slow cinema art film. I am ending the day about to order Chinese takeout and watch John Wick Chapter 4 for the 50th time 📽️ #filmsky

Logging comfort movies into letterboxd has turned it into measurement tool for my mental state. I’m on my second John Wick movie of the day which means I’m 30 seconds to midnight 📽️ #filmsky

nothing makes me abandon my anarchist/socialist beliefs like my coworkers' inability to keep the TP stocked in the bathroom. every time i have to pee i also have to confront the harsh reality that humanity is doomed

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.

Opened my Bluesky for the day and this is the first thing I see. Damn it ☹️ 📽️ #filmsky

I forgot my headphones at home. I’m paralyzed. How does anyone do anything without a constant stream of noise piped into their ears to drown out the voices in their head? I’m about to blast some music on my computer speakers and annoy my coworkers. Maybe California Dreamin

Wong Kar Wai night 7: 2046. The only one I managed to catch in theaters, at the Cedar Lee when I was in undergrad. I love when an art house filmmaker makes a foray into sci-fi, my genre fiction of choice. I think all film has something sci-fi about it, baked into the medium ❤️💜💙💚 📽️ #filmsky

Wong Kar Wai night 6: arguably the best film of the 21st century, IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE. WKW’s earlier films I rented back when that was a thing, then 2046 I saw at the Cedar Lee, then I saw this one last. Which is crazy bc it is so perfect & also everything I love about film 👀❤️💚💙 #filmsky

Check out these films headed to platform all #January long. Link in bio to these and MUCH more. Watch for free through participating libraries and universities.

Wong Kar Wai night 5: HAPPY TOGETHER. Leslie Cheung is so compelling. Tony Leung is one of the best to ever do it. I remember this movie wrecked me when I was a newbie cinephile ripping though WKW’s films 💙💚 📽️ #filmsky

Wong Kar Wai night 4: FALLEN ANGELS 🖤 a moody urban vibe for NYE on my comfy couch 💜 📽️ #filmsky #criterion

And there’s an “how the Irish became white” villain backstory?! Brilliant. This is how it should be done 🤌👏🙌📽️ #filmsky #sinners

The white vampires playing earnest folk music is sending me, absolutely hilarious 📽️ #filmsky
