Keeping this account active but taking a break from all of the doomscrolling apps. Full transparency, this is for my mental health. Personally, I hope to never come back! You can find me on Instagram, sometimes Facebook, and in real life. Take care of yourselves - see you later! ☀️

I'm so in need of feeling part of a collective that I'm back on the Wordle train.

Guillermo del Toro gets it. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Today I learned about a man who accused his wife of cheating bc their child didn't share his DNA. Unbeknownst to him, he was a twin who had absorbed his sibling in utero. Enough of his absorbed twin's sperm was present for it to be the father and *him* to be the uncle. A chimera. Isn't that wild?

8 years ago today, Kendrick Lamar & SZA released “All the Stars.”

A very important 🧵

i enjoyed MARTY SUPREME to the extent that i can enjoy spending two and a half hours with the worst person imaginable

Don't ask how I know, but X users love to shit on Bluesky, and the worst people you know repost because they're ~so edgy~ or something. And yet, I have a feeling that plenty of people here don't about them at all. That makes me happy.

Putting out a call for the 4th Annual Vulture Stunt Awards. If you're a filmmaker, actor, stunt pro, critic, etc please DM me and I'll get you a ballot ASAP. We have to keep the voting industry-based though so please don't take it personally if I can't get you one. Anyhow, hit me up!

Beyond honored to announce that I am the first journalist to have an in-depth discussion with Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jessie Buckley about THE BRIDE! and I got to do it for my love @fangoria.bsky.social. Digital issue is out now, or order it here: shop.fangoria.com/products/fan...

Today is New Year’s Eve.

I really do have hope for 2026. I might be wrong, but I have it anyway.

everything is so fucked and I still have to do the laundry

Thread Oh wow what a thread

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Being a grown up, I've deduced, means straining a muscle in your body, mostly healing, then immediately straining another muscle in a completely different area of your body - over and over and over again.

I think about this every day

It hurt a little bit to write this one because I absolutely loved Terence Stamp. I watched a bunch of his movies again before writing it and was struck by how contemporary even the early performances seem. Less was more with him.

My dreams are getting weirder and weirder, and I'm not loving it.

A black moon is a type of new moon, when the moon is nearly between Earth and the sun. n.pr/45I7FtP

"Wendy and the other hybrids are incredibly annoying, like an entire ensemble of the main characters from Big or 13 Going On 30" ... They're very young kids in grown up bodies. What were you expecting. They nailed it. I miss when criticism was nuanced. www.inlander.com/screen/the-a...

The audio from Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver’s fight scene from ‘MARRIAGE STORY’ is being used by the USDA to scare off wolves and save cattle. "They need to know humans are bad." (https://variety.com/2025/film/news/scarlett-johansson-voice-scare-wolves-farms-1236477759/)

Incredibly, despite having written about television for 30 years, I have never written an entire piece about King of the Hill. I rectified that here. Special emphasis is given to the Dallas connections. www.dmagazine.com/arts-enterta...

Dreamworks used the same font for the upcoming DONKEY movie as the promotional material for Osgood Perkins' THE MONKEY

I was going to take the whole month off from weight lifting but am back at it. I keep forgetting how how intense the initial soreness can be but it'll be worth it.

I'm so tired of AI slop. It's misleading and preys upon people's emotions. Truly disgusting and everyone needs to advocate for regulation and responsible, ethical use

Made a sticky note on my phone to help guide me through the thorny briar patch.

I don't really fare too well with watching horror movies at the movie theater but will try to not let that keep me from seeing TOGETHER and WEAPONS in the next couple of weeks. My curiosity must be sated. #filmsky #horrorsky

Criterion — founded in 1984 — is courting a "new audience of cinephiles” via streaming. And it’s working. Criterion Channel “has grown steadily” — and created a "low-churn subscriber base” that has "eclipsed the company’s physical media business”. www.fastcompany.com/91349048/how... #FilmSky

Sky, I am about to be in you :) (Dear reader, I am on an airplane)

Disney classics in I.B. Technicolor 35mm! ALICE IN WONDERLAND (1951) screens today & tomorrow, Saturday & Sunday July 12th & 13th, at 6:30pm paired with THE JUNGLE BOOK (1967) at 8:15pm.

A tidal wave of grief pulled me out to sea today. My skin is chapped by the sun and salt. But I'm hanging on to the driftwood. I'm beginning to see the shore.

Crawled out of my cocoon last night to see OH, HI! followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Sophie Brooks and actors Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman. In theaters July 25th :) #OhHiMovie #OhHiSummer

TIL these are the scheduling color names for my Google calendar. This is so pleasing to me.

This is where I get back into listening to ASMR and place an order for a weighted blanket.

I watched MISS JUNETEENTH during the Pandemic and loved it. Small town slice of life indie and Nicole Beharie kills it

I've long wanted someone to write about Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee's creative and romantic support for one another as akin to Cassavetes and Rowland. I'm so glad @odienator.bsky.social did it!

New @A24 movies coming to Max: • On Becoming a Guinea Fowl — Friday, July 4 • Opus — Friday, July 11 • Death of a Unicorn — Friday, July 25

Who wants to pay me to listen to music and scroll apps? I am *exceptionally* good at it

THE LIFE OF CHUCK is a film with a very earnest message that almost implores you to lay down your defenses and lean into vulnerability. I'd say this was a good time for that message to find me, but honestly, any time would have be a good time.

Neon Films released THE LIFE OF CHUCK. Because they’re small, they depended on Mark Hamil, Tom Hiddleston, and others to go on the circuit and talk the movie up. Thank you, guys. Now go bust a move!

you walk in the woods and admire the fungi

I enjoyed this film very, very much.

Will be collecting sleep data for the next 30 days. I was initially perturbed at the thought of wearing my smartwatch to bed but my Samsung Galaxy Watch7 is more lightweight than I thought. Might get a smart ring in a few years. I can't see myself having both at the same time.

Yep- the bogus summer reading list from the Chicago Sun Times is real. Here I am with it from a few minutes ago. (Support your local library!!)

Do you know how many actual human beings could, FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE, generate a list of books people can read over the summer? People do that for their blogs, for nothing, every day. Seriously, this is madness.
