#LastFourWatched and the four before that #LetterboxdFriday Busy week! Tonight is the new Petzold, and I’ll probably catch YES this weekend too. Follow me: boxd.it/7C6KJ

Watching Soderbergh's* MOSAIC and it's structured exactly like 50 other Netflix limited-prestige murder-mystery slops 6 years ahead of them, and it LOOKS incredible. The man can light a scene. And Sharon Stone is crushing every line. *still in denial about recent Sodernews, give me a minute

Celebrating Rex Manning Day this year by remembering the last time I saw Empire Records how I sympathized more with store owner Joe than any of his sabotaging & chaotic teenage employees

SHRINKING gives us a great final speech & performance from Harrison Ford and the writers just couldn't fuckin resist making one more Indy joke. I hate that show so much and am happy to never watch it again.

How is The Long Walk not streaming yet

Bad things were supposed to finally happen to the right people, the ones that made them jealous or scared or confused. That’s always been the appeal.

A vote for Trump was a weapon pointed at the rest of the world. Everyone - yes, every single person - who cast that vote knew that and cast it anyway. The excuse of ignorance will not wash, because Trump's monstrosity was on every available broadcast and his voters indulged it. It's simple as that.

Is there a word for the bombardment of app-generated text message verification codes triggered by hacking attempts? Like a recovering addict just starting the program, I'm grateful for that second step.

You know who’d love this? Robert Evans

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

The Garden of Earthly Delights (detail), by Hieronymus Bosch, 1480-1505, 📸 by @alexbrandon

Can I ask a question about the Alamo movie theaters w/o everyone getting mad at me? Why can't you just get your food before the movie starts and bring it in and sit down and eat your shit in the dark w/o all this ordering in the dark mess in the first place? Want more? Go out and get it yourself.

Well, NOW, I’m mad. But honestly if there’s one writer I can think of who couldn’t produce worse material with an LLM, it’s McMegan

A President simply cannot do this. It’s not like “controversial” or “breaking norms.” The President not controlling our money is the main structural support beam of American democracy. It’s the whole fucking thing. You let him do this, you have ended the separation of powers.

Me, when I tell the DJ at the reception to play “Money for Nothin’” off the new CD I handed him: Open the Fuckin’ Strait

Your loss, whoever used my address to sign up for emails from DOCKERS. Guess who's getting 50% off 3 pairs of pants now. Not you, chode.

Libra: Your eventual obituary will include the word "tycoon" but also the word "disgraced."

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Last week there were two examples of collective action to differing degrees of success. And two different sets of found families and what their unity can achieve. Today, there will be DRAMA. boxd.it/7C6KJ

Now genuinely wishing bad things to happen to most of the characters of SHRINKING

I agree with all of this, except I know for a FACT that by no means all writers ENJOY writing. A good schlug of us enjoy, per Dorothy Parker, having written.

States people choose: Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. Not Iowa, Missouri, or Kansas. Can you spot the difference?

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

There’s something so funny about the phrase “state-mandated Center for Intellectual Freedom”—well done Our congressperson wanted to name the center after Charlie Kirk. Just a fun little fact as she heads toward re-election

All the attendant horrors and implications aside, “Thank you, @ Kid Rock” is just going to be the funniest thing I hear from a government official today. Thank you, Kid Rock. —Secretary of “War” Pete H A grateful nation turns its eyes to Badwitdaba.

if Austin Powers were made today he'd have been frozen in 1996

you all know the criterion closet pulls are rarely random, right? that they submit a list of titles before and someone yanks them out past flush a little bit so the subject can grab them and yap

Four-byline alert: 🚨 “.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter.” www.ft.com/content/744e...

The three-legged baby was in the Total Recall remake, trying to make sure they could keep a PG-13 rating

A big week for colons, a big week for cowboys of various hats #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday letterboxd.com/trevorjackson/

No shit, a Data Protection Bill of Rights would be a solid campaign platform along with the restoration & expansion of a functioning Consumer Protection Board

My campaign platform is making kids say "ma'am" and "yes, sir" and making face tattoos and blue hair illegal

I'm a professional writer and I never use cursive. This is not an urgent thing in 2026. Just ban "A.i." from the schools and raise teacher pay.

KFC was way ahead. “Failure pile in a sadness bowl”

$1.5 billion. Five minutes before Trump's post. On a Monday morning with no scheduled news. Somebody knew. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I lived in Des Moines for five years, and this one kills me. theonion.com/iowa-fashion...

if you're on a dating app and you answer "moderate" or "apolitical," you have also answered the question

Hey, Chuck Grassley, I found the death panels you were freaking out about in 2010

The thing I hated most about Project Hail Mary is that it makes me want to break out my own cowl collared cardigans just as spring arrives

Can’t wait to have to bail out the airlines again as the one-two punch of a fuel shock and ICE in the airports has people delaying travel

i’ve always said the generally hellish experience of going through TSA would be improved by bringing in other federal agents with no understanding of airports who love to shoot people

Iowa’s Big Ten suburb Coralville also ditched theirs after public outcry. These are liberal enclaves not hard leftists.

Did Crazy, Stupid Love kill The Gap? Finally saw The Irishman too. Both are pretty good! #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday boxd.it/7C6KJ

wtffffff

I hope the Buckley win gets more people to watch S4 of Fargo. All of Fargo, really.

Tanning Chatum

these goddamn babies, I hope they fall down a mall escalator in front of a bunch of teenagers and pee their pants

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched A rough week for war, I’m not sold on its merits! Or on musical theater. But Hawke stock? Bullish.
