Watched JAY KELLY. Glad to see Adam Sandler still picks projects that will send him to cool places so they can double as a family vacation. letterboxd.com/jaredmobarak...

Man, fuck you people, "Train Dreams" is great.

Listen to my review of the recently released independent comedy “Tapawingo” starring Jon Heder. open.substack.com/pub/mediaroo...

Tarantino apparently abhors subtitles so vehemently that he won't even include his own INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS on this list.

I wonder what he would have thought of the original actor who was fired because PTA found him to actually be too “weak sauce” to go toe to toe with DDL. Was it ever confirmed who? Rumor at the time was an actor in Brian De Palma’s REDACTED.

Letterboxd is an incredible social media platform if you want to slowly, over time, become less and less respectful of your friends' subjective tastes.

The next 20 selections in the #AFMI100 are out today. I love THE INSULT. Shocked TO A LAND UNKNOWN made the list considering the voting date cutoff. Might have climbed even higher than 46(!!) as more people got to watch it this year. cinemayaat.com/the-greatest...

I love how many Gothams winners/presenters are giving the Gothams shit for abandoning their indie standards. bsky.app/profile/vult...

Narrowing down the year’s best film performances to just 17 was pure torture, but I did it! bsky.app/profile/vult...

With the full understanding that Stoppard’s most profound work was in his plays, I’d love to do a mini-marathon of his work in adapting novels into screenplays for movies of varying quality.

People got mad when I wrote about “Hamnet” setting up as the Oscar season villain because I guess they thought I was saying it deserved to be. I wasn’t, but seeing the tone of the negative reviews (amid a lot of positive reviews), I’m confident in saying I was right. www.vulture.com/article/osca...

Using Alexandre Desplat’s “Fantastic Mr. Fox” score for a google Gemini ad is such obvious rage bait that I feel like a sucker being this mad about it but also fuck these people.

Angela Lansbury's six highest-grossing movie roles:

I have spent far too much time in the past seven days trying to figure out whether people’s posts are taking the politics of the Wicked universe seriously for real or seriously for laffs.

Some days I truly feel like I'm gonna go off the deep end and do a full "The Practice" rewatch. youtu.be/ZQyZ6uLzLUo?...

A tradition like no other... @kateyrich.bsky.social joins us for our annual Thanksgiving week hunk parade on This Had Oscar Buzz! In this case, it's the drawling, murderous, charismatic preachers and vengeful sons of THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

So good.

Caught up with del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN tonight. Is Mia Goth contractually obligated to play two roles every film now? It’s also another example of Letterboxd adding bespoke animation when logging a review. boxd.it/bO9z65

Truly shocking to have that many Jeffs in ROOFMAN and not one Geoffrey the Giraffe joke. The restraint Derek Cianfrance showed is impressive. boxd.it/bNMfjd

Hopefully the “FINAL” means this series can go back to strong storytelling without all the gymnastics to pretend like anyone cared whether the Rabbit’s Foot was anything but a one-off MacGuffin twenty years ago. boxd.it/bNFoYF

The “Wicked” movies are the rare case where the thing that all the gay guys on your social feeds are being unhinged about is also a massive deal in the outside world.

New @cartoonsaloon.bsky.social short from Giovanna Ferrari is still available for free until tomorrow (11/22) at 6pm EST. Like all of their output, it's very good. Watch: watch.animationshowcase.com/landing/691c... My thoughts: jaredmobarak.com/2025/11/21/e...

Watching UK Traitors and am jealous of Brits getting to use the term "cracking." Seems fun!

Eat your hearts out, A24 -- Cinematrix merch is here and nothing will ever be the same. www.vulture.com/article/cine...

This weekend’s best movie about a seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood! bsky.app/profile/djme...

From the press kit of THE DEEP END: Directed by Scott McGehee & David Siegel, starring Tilda Swinton, Goran Visnjic, Jonathan Tucker, Peter Donat, Josh Lucas, and Raymond J. Barry. #filmsky

DEADLINE TOMORROW: ImageOut is seeking candidates to join its Board of Directors for a two-year term, beginning in January 2026. ✅ Application: tinyurl.com/ImageOut-Brd...

It’s Mubi (or maybe The Auteurs, if this feature went back before the name change, I can’t remember) before Mubi eventually just became another streamer.

Happy Wicked Day™️ to those who celebrate. WICKED: FOR GOOD is now playing 🩷💚

Caught up with THE SMASHING MACHINE. Definitely some stylistic/pacing issues, but Dwayne Johnson is extremely good in this. boxd.it/bLqfT9

The Arab Film and Media Institute’s #AMFI100 countdown has officially begun. Films 100 - 81 are now live via the newly launched Cinemayaat Magazine. cinemayaat.com/the-greatest... @arabfilm.bsky.social #greatestarabfilms

Besides some contested censors (SCARFACE and A FACE IN THE CROWD) and a translation (WAGES OF FEAR), it's generally believed ULYSSES is the first English use of the f-word in a film. It released a couple months before DON'T LOOK BACK and both were three years before MASH. cinematicfbombs.com/index/

“99 to Beat” doles out narrative more deftly than most scripted suspense dramas. Springing the kid from “Pet Sematary” on us at mid-season? Cara Maria consolidating power in the literal background of shots? The fact that we still don’t know the full scope and implications of the Wagners? I’m hooked.

This is what you’re all talking about, right?

If they don’t find a way to have the Pope open the Oscars, I swear to god bsky.app/profile/tomd...
