If the Bills can't get a pass rush going against a backup QB behind a dogshit offensive line...oh boy.

Can't believe I'm going to be able to see THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR in 2 weeks.

Davis Mills' neck perplexes me.

Listen I worked really fucking hard on this bear but I guess the woke mob of snowflakes that run this country can't handle it

Jesus, I completely forgot this movie existed

Y’know John Sayles has had such an extraordinary career in American letters but I think his finest achievement as a writer is “I’m going to find that alligator and kick his ass.”

As much as I’m enjoying MR. SCORSESE, from a structural standpoint it does remind me of John Mulaney’s “Happy Birthday Sign” bit. 30 seconds on BRINGING OUT THE DEAD is egregious! Do Scorsese and/or Miller just not know that it has been thoroughly reclaimed at this point?

KING LEOPOLD’S GHOST by Adam Hochschild moves like a freight train

One of those days where my work situation feels especially hopeless

When the movie came out someone on here chided it because one of Willa’s friends wound up snitching on her to said interrogator and they said a Gen Z person would never give in to the police and that is just divorced from reality. Cops are intimidating! Especially to kids.

Black Max, let’s fucking go

I hate to be that guy but…the first WICKED book came out 2 years before the first HP book, I bring this up because *several* reviews have said the former is ripping off the latter.

I am very cautiously hoping, I just have a lot of family members who are convinced Trump is going to to leave office by Christmas and I have to talk them down

Anyone who doesn’t celebrate when this motherfucker croaks belongs on a watch list

Last night I watched the most recent film version of COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. Pretty straightforward as an adaptation but has a ton of lavish, theatrical swagger that befits the titular character. The fastest 3 hours in a long time.

I want to isolate the scene in the Scorsese doc discussing the rape confession in WHO’S THAT KNOCKING, and how Kietel’s hostile reaction is an honest depiction of what his character would do and not indicative of the movie’s POV and force every young director and writer to watch it ad nauseam.

The MOANA trailer looks like fucking AI

Here we go

Sorry but I always hate this framing.

Ask and ye shall receive

This is what I’m going with these days GOODFELLAS AGE OF INNOCENCE KING OF COMEDY TAXI DRIVER WOLF OF WALL STREET

So did Chalamet get the buzzcut for DUNE 3 or did they already film that?

STRAW DOGS is a masterpiece and one of the most honest movies about American imperialism and misogyny and how they intersect

The Bills play-calling confounds me

There’s a sketch from last night’s SNL that legitimately made my blood boil

So when I saw this in college I *hated* it, that was during my phase where I was obsessed with plot holes and logic. I’ve thankfully evolved out of that and now I just love it. It’s like LEGEND where you just take the ride, no matter how visible the seams are

First viewing of this in about 15 years

I’m sorry but my I was baptized in a faith that was created in opposition to stanning the Pope, but you kids have fun

Ah, the supple prose of an 8th grade book report

They all fucking worship Clinton, gotta cover for Slick Willie

All the Resistance YouTubers my mom watches insisting that NUREMBERG is the most important movie of the year

Watching BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS for the first time since it came out. Their most cynical, death-shrouded work. In retrospect it feels like it’s from artists who know they might be at the end of the line.

Part of me still wants to go see RUNNING MAN, I still defend Wright’s less-liked work (I like SOHO so sue me) but it’s hard to work up enthusiasm for him in “We have Paul Verhoeven at home” mode. Also it sounds like it might’ve been a hatchet job behind-the-scenes

Found out today that allegedly Criterion is working on Scorsese’s CAPE FEAR, which fucking rules because that Universal blu is horribly washed-out

I told one of my Gen Z co-workers that this book was a masterpiece and they gave me a look like they were about to call the cops on me. I found it deeply amusing

Masterpiece. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise, rend them asunder

I love this movie so much. There’s a direct line from this to CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON, old pain and new passions dancing around each other

About to watch a Dude's Rock Classic...that's right it's time to crack open the SENSE AND SENSIBILITY 4K

This is quite good so far, even if Sayles mastery of dialects makes it so you have to reread the dialogue to make it out, the Scottish brogues are as thick as a haggis dinner.

Spielberg

About to watch TWILIGHT. No, not *that* one. No, not *that* one, either. It’s the Hungarian one.

Ah those sickly greens in the trailer for the new Verbinski, how I’ve missed them

The way anything related to AVATAR makes some people start foaming at the mouth in rage always amuses me. No one is making you watch them!

Simpsons S6 Mad Men S5 Buffy S2 Angel S5 Slings and Arrows S3 The Wire S4 Futurama S3 Lost S4 Sopranos S5 Arrested Development S2 Breaking Bad S3

I’m sure this will be a popular answer but reading Michael Chabon’s THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER AND CLAY for the first time in college was one of the greatest experiences of my life. If you believe the adage like I do that great art is about everything that book is a prime example.

Wilbon became an over-it curmudgeon 15 years ago, pay no mind

Always excited to read John Sayles

The James Bond reboot underscoring how fucking literal-minded people have become about art. “How did he come back from the dead?” This is a series where a Korean man got plastic surgery to make himself white! That same movie had *another* villain with diamond blood! Who gives a shit?!

Man I hope what I've heard about the ending of a movie coming out this week isn't true
