I keep wondering if the reason Amanda makes sure to say that she owns things (house, car) and pays for things (wedding) is to keep the court from increasing the child support her partner has to pay his ex. #RHOBH

I tried to watch #VanderpumpRules this new season, but couldn't get through more than 1.5 episodes. I'm watching the first reunion episode. Audrey's outfit is making her even more nervous than it's making me.

I'd like to dedicate this to all the rude randos I blocked because they lashed out at me for commenting that this wouldn't have happened without the U.S. I didn't even say the U.S. directly did the bombing.

I saw THE BRIDE! tonight. What a delightful hoot! An homage to The Movies, and a reward for old movie nuts especially. Will you enjoy it with much of a film background? I can’t say.

#LoveIsBlind IYKYK

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Saw EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT today. I was mesmerized. Definitely worth seeing. Great use of cinéma vérité. 📽️ #FilmSky

Who is going to last longer, Bondi or Patel?

Kristi Noem misattributing a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling to George Orwell really does sum it all up huh

Ashley did what we viewers want. Stick it out straight through to the wedding, then tell us what you ultimately want. No ending the process early (except with abusers, looking at you, Chris). Devonta is a wuss. #LoveIsBlind

Ugh. I thought we were going to be free from Will. #SouthernHospitality

Why doesn’t Brittany understand that she deserves—and will find—someone better for her than this man? #LoveIsBlind

If you shop at Trader Joe’s, check your freezer. These four items are recalled due to possible glass contamination. Note the dates. Bring the bags back to TJs for refund; obviously, it doesn’t matter if they thaw.

Many others have already pointed this out, but PBS Passport is genuinely great and worthwhile.

You don't have to love all of these movies, but you do have to understand that a studio that makes Sinners and One Battle and Mickey 17 and Wuthering Heights and The Bride and Weapons grasps its responsibility to filmmaking and its own history and tradition in a way that David Ellison does not.

If you're thinking of watching the two-part HBO documentary "Murder In Glitterball City," it's one where there are many payoffs in the second episode for watching the first one. Looking forward to listening to the Crime Writers On podcast episode about it.

Once again, learned my lesson that it's best to just block people who are determined to be disagreeable and to ascribe negative intentions to what was merely meant as a friendly interaction. Sigh.

Wait'll Bryce finds out he's still financially responsible for his kid, even if he doesn't want to have a relationship with the kid or the mother. Unfortunately, his grandparents are such enablers they'll probably pay the child support. #Unexpected.

Bryce Palmer is not nearly as special as his grandparents think he is. And his grandparents don't seem to think he should have any financial responsibilities to the baby he participated in making. #Unexpected

Cancelled my little local film club for tonight; we got to the building, but it's clear the walkways are not safe. 2nd time I cancelled WE BOUGHT A ZOO. #NowWatching, at home, JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN. It was Timothy Bottoms's first film, with LAST PICTURE SHOW coming out the same year (1971). 📽️ #FilmSky

I skipped this season of #RHOP (and most of the prior one) but have been watching the reunion episodes. The new women are annoying, especially the one who "hosted" a trip and won't apologize to the ones stuck in a place with no water. Karen was downright terrible. She needs to stay off TV.

Starting “The Count of Monte Cristo” on PBS Masterpiece. All the episodes are available to subscribers, about a month before broadcast starts.

This afternoon’s movie is BEN IS BACK. It’s a rough watch, because it’s authentic. Lucas Hedges and Julia Roberts are exceptional. 📽️ #FilmSky

Setting #LoveIsBlind in Ohio reminds us that people who live in states with restrictive reproduction laws are full of people who think it's okay to control women's reproductive lives.

@altarcallmafs.bsky.social Do you know whether Brian is planning to discuss #Unexpected somewhere? I have an inexplicable fascination with that show.

Please fire this man before more people die. Oh, and he knows nothing about autism.

#NowWatching FRANKENSTEIN, a film I didn't think I'd want to see. But...it stars two of my favorite actors (Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi) and it's got Oscar nominations--and it's on Netflix. Just have to see F1 to be a BP nominee completist for the year. 📽️ #FilmSky

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

And wow! Hulu also just added THE SECRET AGENT! 📽️ #FilmSky

Hulu just added IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT. Highly recommend. 📽️ #FilmSky

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

FYI, this person has about 400 followers. Not surprised there were no replies. Had they been open, I bet someone would have answered. The Criterion Channel community here is nice.

Pro tip: If you’re asking a general question, especially one with some time urgency, it doesn’t maximize your chances of getting an answer if you disable replies *and* quote posts.

It’s Saturday night. Whether I spend tonight wondering how to fix the world or watching #LoveIsBlind or figuring out that Dorit didn’t actually max out her credit card, won’t change the world. Also, PSA: If you’re going to be traveling, let your credit card companies know.

So, Amanda Frances was on the most recent episode of #RHOBH for a nanosecond, talking to her stepdaughter about Amanda’s upcoming wedding. She also wasn’t on the After Show. Why the heck was she on #WWHL this week?

Do you have February tickets on Kanopy left to use? They've recently added (just look at the Recently Added tab) a whole bunch of Academy-Award nominated short films, one ticket each, from many years back. I've seen a few of the animated ones just now. Favorite is A SINGLE LIFE (2014). 📽️ #FilmSky

Spent the afternoon watching THE TIN DRUM and some of the extras on Criterion Channel. Powerful and worth seeing. I'm watching The Tin Drum on The Criterion Channel www.criterionchannel.com/the-tin-drum

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Was this week’s episode of #TheValleyPersianStyle the season finale? Sure feels like it.

Hard-to-see great film alert: ALL THAT JAZZ is on TCM Sunday night.

If you see these at Trader Joe's, grab a box. Or 10 boxes if you have a big freezer. Totally delicious. I like eating them by unravelling. www.traderjoes.com/home/product...

What are five topics you can talk about unprepared for five minutes? 1) The history of the SAT, including why it's scored the way it is 2) Probability 3) Patty Hearst, and not just the kidnapping 4) Movie recommendations 5) The economics of sweeteners in the soda business

I won this LP while in high school, in a contest that the WPRB (the Princeton U. radio station) ran during Rod St. John's [not his real name, I learned from John Platt years later] Saturday night show. It was really exciting to go to the actual radio station to pick it up.

Here's an idea for @screendrafts.bsky.social : Movies with exclamation points in the title.

When my son was teeny I used to work at an art museum. Behind the desk was an large poster with photos of works of art in the museum One of the security guards, wanting to teach him something, pointed to one of the images and said, "That's a statue" My kid said, "No. That's a picture of a statue."

does he know what will happen if everyone buys the cheap cuts of meat

My vote for coolest VP is Henry Wallace, who tried to warn us about people like JD.

After the news roundup on this week's Political Junkie, @neiljyoung.bsky.social and I talk about the chaos at the #FBI, the #NancyGuthrie kidnapping, and the history of this crime as a media spectacle. youtu.be/4ZsvZD_eYtY
