Prove me wrong, newly boring Golden Globes voters. Prove me wrong. bsky.app/profile/kn8....

This week, in a standalone Oscar Futures: Marty Supreme and a whole lot of guild nominations! www.vulture.com/article/mart...

In nonsense news, here's me and @joereid.bsky.social giving you our Golden Globes picks: www.vulture.com/article/gold...

What if we kissed in the Barry Goldwater Memorial in Paradise Valley, Arizona?

This one Nate paragraph has at least two, possibly three of the funniest sentences I will read in 2026

This week's Oscar column is a little more personal than usual: www.vulture.com/article/the-...

There’s an unfortunate trend among 2025 Oscar contenders — one our Gold Rush columnist, @kn8, has personally been avoiding: the sheer number of movies that are about dead, dying, or sick children.

This was a year where the personal outweighed the professional for me. But the baby is making an offer you can't refuse: Read this thread of my five favorite stories I did in 2025...

A key ethos of the anti-wokesters is "We are the only people who are allowed to use hyperbole."

A lede from @ralter.bsky.social that must be seen to be believed.

Auteur-driven blockbusters, timely social dramas, a weepie. This year’s crop of Academy favorites fit a classic mold. Here are the 12 Oscar contenders of Christmas.

SCOOP: Vulture has heard that Bowen Yang is leaving 'SNL' after seven and a half seasons. www.vulture.com/article/snl-...

‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ features the return of the Tulkuns, the big space whales, only this time they have giant jewelry and accessories on. It’s one of those great details from the twisted mind of James Cameron.

He looks great

After Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest and death, Stanley Kubrick’s underappreciated film ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ started to look like an uncanny premonition.

About to take a tired baby on a flight to Phoenix. Asked the Lord for strength and He gave me a Xanax and the Blank Check episode on Ella McKay.

If you don’t subscribe to Vulture, this is the reason to do so: an oral history that only @bilgeebiri.bsky.social would think to do, one that’s shocking with each new story, pitched at the moment right before crazy CGI made everything boring. The “green salve” indeed. www.vulture.com/article/how-...

This week's Oscar column is about Neon's chances of going five-for-five in the International Film race: www.vulture.com/article/neon...

‘Ella McCay’ is pure gas-leak cinema. Nothing the characters do resembles the behavior of human beings breathing in the recommended levels of oxygen to function normally.

Good news (for me; it could be neutral or perhaps even negative for you) -- I'm writing an Obamacore book!

This is also how I feel about parenting.

Snubs! Surprises! www.vulture.com/article/the-...

As a humble "web-logger," I too saw something of myself in Train Dreams

This week's Oscar column is about Warner Bros' champagne problem of campaigning the two biggest films of the year against each other: www.vulture.com/article/warn...

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

I wrote about the Gotham Awards and the inexorable pull of the Oscar season poledance: www.vulture.com/article/goth...

The Nuzzi story isn't about an affair, it's about the extraordinary corruption, moral stupidity, and cliquishness of elite media. (From the Feed Me Substack.)

Heading to the Gotham Awards, which I will be live-blogging here for @vulture.com. Follow along!

In case you haven't heard, Nathan Rabin was in a car accident over the weekend. Here's a link if you'd like to help him and his wife with their hospital bills and recovery. gofund.me/544ae75ef

Paul Thomas Anderson, Michael B. Jordan, and Ariana Grande might be chasing the same murky Oscars narrative. Gold Rush’s Nate Jones and Joe Reid debate who’s the most worthy of the ‘It’s their year!’ narrative in 2026.

Why hasn’t the ‘Thanksgiving Movie’ become a thing? We polled a handful of directors, including Alex Ross Perry and David Lowery, to find out.

Two great against-type Udo Kier performances worth checking out: As a middle-class revolutionary getting cucked by his own father in Fassbinder's The Third Generation, and a one-scene turn as a Holocaust survivor in this year's The Secret Agent.

He could have been the best-selling romantasy author in America. Instead he did this. What a waste.

I saw Hamnet 😢 letterboxd.com/kn8/film/ham...

In the criminal justice system, parenting-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In Oslo, the dedicated detectives who investigate these fractious creative personalities are members of an elite squad known as the Sentimental Value Unit. These are their stories.

This is our "Tony Blair and Gordon Brown at Granita": www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/n...

Kept it going this morning with a few of Steely Dan's greatest hits. Peg: So much going on she wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. Ultimately swayed by the power of MMcD Hey Nineteen: Did not like this one at all. Too sharp and syncopated maybe? Dirty Work: This one soothed her. PTA was right!

Struck by the continuing implication that this is something that happened TO her, rather than something she did.

Here are the baby's reactions to Past Masters 1&2: I Feel Fine: Liked the beat Yes It Is: Too emotionally intense Day Tripper: Enjoyed me explaining how the primacy of the riff prefigured the shift to Rock Rain: Too avant-garde Lady Madonna: Dug the piano Hey Jude: Stopped crying, fell asleep

There are going to be A LOT of misleading, vaguely-worded headlines — particularly from non-music publications — in the near future trying to drum up hysteria about the AI Music Takeover. Please try to not take them at their word. We're still a long way off from this actually being a thing.

My little song rhyming "daddy time" with "not a crime" has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my song.

My MIL, who lives in Arizona, texted asking me not to vote for him because of his connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. This stuff is everywhere.

hello friends, loved ones, and haters, I wrote a long piece about the last 25 or so years of "indie," inspired by @chrisdeville.bsky.social's fine new book open.substack.com/pub/ericdhar...

Made this with a teaspoon of Thai chili flakes subbed for the peppers, and it just may be the world's greatest condiment: www.seriouseats.com/quick-pickle...

Glad to see Vulture taking a chance on a little-known writer from the north of England: www.vulture.com/article/paul...

This is devastating. And surely a gross miscarriage of justice. Again.

Stellan Skarsgård, the self-proclaimed ‘nepo daddy,’ is at the top of his game as a narcissistic patriarch in ‘Sentimental Value.’
