Once again, this perfect @zeboydgames.bsky.social post comes to mind:

Welcome back, Daniel Day-Lewis.

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE is riveting, chilling, and unsettling. Relentlessly paced thriller in a RASHOMON-esque dressing that plays out the government dealing with a nuclear missile headed towards Chicago in several different ensemble perspectives across three chapters. Loved it.

Let’s go, Kathryn Bigelow.

GOOD FORTUNE is the anti-capitalist comedy we need now. Incredibly hilarious and completely unsubtle in what it has to say in the best way possible Keanu Reeves hasn’t been this funny in a long time. It has a classic comedy feel to it, the kind that don’t get made these days.

THE SMASHING MACHINE may seem like a conventional sports movie without the dramatic peaks and valleys that a movie worthy athlete would endure, but I think that’s the point. It shines a light on two UFC fighters who were just normal guys before the sport had reached its pinnacle.

Because you deserve nice things,one of my favorite wholesome videos. Today we celebrate Madeline Kahn on the 83rd year of her birth with her duet of Sing After Me with Grover. I honestly do not want to be friends with you if Madeline or Grover or Madeline and Grover together do not make you smile.

Made it across town in crappy traffic for some laughs. Hoping Keanu Reeves gives me the life of a rich man soon. #GoodFortune

"Holy shit, I remember the backlash I got for appearing in Alvin and the Chipmunks! You would’ve thought that I had taken money from a bunch of people responsible for funding Al Qaeda!"

All right, let’s see if Dwayne Johnson can get this Oscar.

Just gonna leave this here.

My cure to the male loneliness epidemic is to take away every boy’s phone and young man’s phone, then force them to get together to play Goldeneye and Mario Party in a basement for hours on end. Bingo bango, problem solved.

One Battle After Another has so many good bar trivia team names in it.

I just watched JASON X for the first time. This movie sucks so good. Just the stupidest, funniest piece of shit. Feels and looks like it takes place in the same universe as Britney Spears’ music video for Oops! I Did It Again. I loved every minute of this braindead movie.

At Sarah Sherman’s Live in the Flesh show at The Vic in Chicago, her biggest yet, and the pre-show has clips of crazy movie gore and behind the scenes practical gory effects from them. Already paying off! Also, look at this amazing hat!

Just figured out what the next KNIVES OUT movie should be @rianjohnson.bsky.social.

Bob Iger, RAPTUROUSLY thanked by "Andor" writer Dan Gilroy at the Emmys, is on the spot to prove if giving a green light to a TV show about an encroaching authoritarian regime that attempts to hijack all notions of truth means he watched and understood the show, or just likes making money.

Watching George Clooney’s GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK. This should be required viewing in high school, especially now.

And what a day for the Constitution it was!

Let ABC know how you feel about their bowing to the thugs in power and cancelling Jimmy Kimmel's show: support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req...

I'm a single issue voter, and my issue is "the government shouldn't be fascist."

"There is plenty of humor in Germany, more than enough. But we do not permit ourselves to be ridiculed." www.abramsbooks.com/product/outr...

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

"It's so confusing isn't it? So much going on, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it and that is the real trick of the imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident." -Nemik

Nexstar, the largest owner of ABC stations, has business before Carr's FCC: Not only do they need him to bless their $6.2 billion merger with Nexstar, but they also need him to relax the national ownership cap that prevents them from getting bigger.

This is how Jimmy responded to the shooting. Doesn’t matter to the MAGA crowd. Nothing but blind obedience is acceptable.

I cannot believe these fascists have forced my hand, and I'm out here defending Jimmy Kimmel. www.slashfilm.com/1971533/abc-...

the trajectory from circa 1999 Man Show-era women jumping on trampolines Jimmy Kimmel to 2025 free speech canary in the coal mine Jimmy Kimmel is really something

They are literally canceling culture

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

SNL should run a normal show, with the slight addition that every sketch has three or four men dressed up like ICE agents and FCC officials standing in the background looking menacing. Maybe they disappear Colin Jost in the middle of Weekend Update too.

Nice pull, Carl. Seriously, read this statement they launched on day one of the administration and see how long you can make it before you feel like you're going insane.

it is really important for news outlets to be clear (unlike the nyt here) that Kimmel was suspended not because of some grassroots backlash but because ABC caved to threats from the head of the FCC

The best thing Kimmel could do right now is do what the Right does when it is deplatformed: replatform yourself on another service, go live, and dunk on the administration harder than ABC would ever have allowed him to. Go full South Park on them. Do an hour on Patel lying under oath about Epstein.

Huh. How about that?

Remember when Brian Kilmeade suggested killing homeless people, and yet his show remained on the air, and he still has a job? Wonder if the FCC chairman threatened them.

Hope we all enjoy state-controlled media, because that’s where we’re heading. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is riveting from start to finish. Relentlessly intense, darkly funny, and it just might be the best movie of 2025. Paul Thomas Anderson has outdone himself.

You see, kids, when someone dies who mostly did *good* things, people are *sad*.

Thank you, sensei! #OneBattleAfterAnother

Arts criticism is vitally important, whether it's for TV, movies, comic books, or anything else. It's more than a binary good/bad; it's a way of contextualizing the emotional, political, or other themes of a piece as well as laying out connections and comparisons through deep historical knowledge.

Ready to spend some time with Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie. #ABigBoldBeautifulJourney

If you're as angry as I am about how our trans brothers & sisters were treated this week, remember that not all of them got the loving parents we did & end up on the streets. Maybe today is a great day to donate to a local shelter & give trans kids a roof over their heads and the love they deserve.

Only the most memorable cars get turned into collectibles.

Everyone who is worried about a certain dead man’s family is going to be really upset when they hear about all the kids killed in school shootings every week and the minority families frequently threatened and dismissed by racists and bigots. Ah, well, nevertheless.

Political violence is bad. That doesn’t mean anyone has to feel sorry for the death of a man who actively tried to stop the prevention of more people dying at the hands of guns and had no problem taking away the rights of others for no good reason other than bigotry. And that’s putting it kindly.
