What the fuck Naroditsky died?!

Jamie Taco stole his lines. The director doesn't do anything. Jamie took 15 of his lines. He's here to take them back because he loves his wife

Forgot the camera work, the physicality in this movie is fantastic. Sean Penn's bowleggedness, Benicio del Toro's is a fluid solid, Leo's clowning, Teyana Taylor moves like a downed powerline. Really good time at da movies #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Younger Brother from Ragtime grows up to be Gringo Zapata

I wasn't really connecting with The Boxer from Shantung but then those last 20 minutes are electric—reversed my opinion on the movie #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

This was me; I never wanted anything more than to be a paleontologist after seeing this movie

Making energy from the sun and gene-hacking nucleotides to cure disease is literal capital G god shit and instead we're pouring billions into non-functional computers that can't count or do math

I know it's part of the joke here but song and performance is a hugely underrated tactic in modern organizing in the US. When you do see it, well, "there [are] no marshals, and no one [to lead] freedom songs". Or in the words of Lisa Simpson: youtu.be/vt5X8zrHiSM?...

Human civilization is built on cabbage. Would love to know what this Pompeii cabbage was:

I need help figuring out how these shadows work. Rear projection? Surface of the sun fill light? How do they not obstruct other actors? How the fuck? youtu.be/VgAZonVsuQE?... #FilmSky

Live Free and Die, I guess

Sanatorium was my first Quay Brothers film. The animation and shot 'magic' is incredible, left my head empty but my heart full. I don't know if I liked it but it's made me want to see more of their work starting with Street of Crocodiles. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

politics is conflictual; a reality you cannot poll, focus group, or message your way out of.

Relatable

Liked Weapons! Don't understand the complaints that it's vague or unfocused. Speaking of unfocused, did not enjoy either Mickey 17 or Mission Impossible as much as I wanted to. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey unsurprisingly the best parts of Jurassic World Rebirth. Can we get Ali his own action-adventure franchise already? Something swashbuckly #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Strictly Ballroom asks: would channeling all male angst and resentment into pasodoble change the world (Pan-Pacific Grand Prix Dancing Championship)? #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Striking stuff from @pkrugman.bsky.social, who dismantles Trump's Europe deal from top to bottom. It will actually undermine US manufacturing, the "concessions" Trump won are fake, and Trump voters will be hit hard by the tariffs. All on the pod. Don't miss this one: newrepublic.com/article/1985...

Me, walking past the Delacorte in the summer. Softball on the lawn! Dogs galloping freely! Shakespeare! In the park! youtu.be/CZFngXSDD0I?...

I love the spicy shit

Every MTA apocalypse reminds me that I should learn to ride a bike but that carries its own risk, namely the embarrassment of learning to ride a bike as an adult

Is KPop Demon Hunters the first Disney musical style film from Sony Pictures Animation? It's a great update of the genre. Stoked to see Fernández's Río Escondido tonight! #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

VLADIMIR: Well? Shall we log off? ESTRAGON: Yes, let's log off. They do not log off.

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets. So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

Healy is dogshit for a lot of reasons but I will never forgive his terrible, terrible theater reviews. Complete incuriousness. Incapable of engaging with material through any lens. Ignorant of the larger history or movements. Also always treated theater staff like trash.

Apocalypse Now in a theater is wild. Still hits as hard as it did when I was a teen. 28 Years Later surprisingly introspective. Loved the low fi aesthetic and the contempt it has for the island folk. It can never be as it was #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

Turning into a single issue voter for 2028, where the issue is which Democratic candidate will vow to nominate the most rabidly partisan, vengeful and hate-filled AG you can possibly imagine

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

I can't unsee it

"[A]ll great political successes are based on the opposite: the art of the impossible; believing in a chance for something new." www.unpopularfront.news/p/what-it-to...

We don't need to invoke Soviet privations to see how ridiculous a city-run school is. It's economically illiterate and utterly impractical. And the complexities of the low margin education business are not comparable to state-run land grant university monopolies in a few states.

Trump'll start posting at like 2:34am referring to Mamdani in slurs not used since Thomas Jefferson wrote it in a letter to John Adams

China now has 1 terawatt of solar capacity. For reference, the entire US power grid has 1.3TW of capacity.

of course 🙄

military historians should simply use their mastery of small unit tactics to take over the profession by force.

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

Leo prepping to launch a first strike on the American antipopes

Celine Song is not for me but her films are gorgeous. Materialists has clever, funny, and interesting blocking/framing and incredible photography (thank you Shabier Kirchner) but the writing is a little empty, especially hollow in the most vulnerable moments #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

What an absolute embarrassment. Truly one of the worst political machines in the country

We wouldn't happen to be...invading Iran today, would we? youtu.be/nCP3LZoxABs?...

Again, Western and Southern Europe accounted for ~37% of all international tourism in 2024. That's 546M people or the population of 66 New York Cities

Damn, just *what* is going on over there?

I am pleading you to help my family. We lost everything in the war- my children and I have no access to food, medicine, or shelter. They are hungry, and in urgent need 💔 Please, if you can, donate or share the campaign… maybe it will reach someone who can save them 😢

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.
