Every year, there's at least one critically acclaimed movie that, while not bad, leaves me mostly cold and baffled by the heaps of praise. This year it's THE SECRET AGENT.

It's very funny that FIRE AND ASH and ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER are very nearly the same movie.

Sitting down for FIRE AND ASH

Tom Cruise IS Digger

How can the same shit happen to the same guy twice?

Rewatching SPLITSVILLE, happy to report this still absolutely fucks. One of the triumphs of the year.

LMAO

People are talking about Rob Reiner as a director which they should. But I think he also deserves some credit as an actor. Specially his role in Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street where he delivers one of the Top 10 funniest scenes in that movie.

Carradine is just so great in KILL BILL, such an easy command of the language, makes a meal out of every word.

Agreed

Seeing people log Marty Supreme multiple times

It is fun to go to the movies

Me: I like this movie! Stranger on the internet: Well that's not the consensus. Wow, what a wonderful contribution to the conversation.

Just really enjoy Chris Eigeman in these 90's Whit Stillman and Noah Baumbach movies playing the worst guy you know who never shuts the fuck up at parties.

John Waters names Eddington the best movie of 2025: "If you don’t like this film, I hate you.”

Look I don't care if you think the AVATAR movies suck or are silly/empty spectacle but it does bug me that it feels accepted critically that they are intrinsically unserious and not worth any real attention beyond pop footprint.

That's right

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

Laughed real hard at this Bilge mention in @gemko.bsky.social's SENTIMENTAL VALUE review.

FRANCES HA on at the bar I'm at 👍

I can hear Guzman telling this story about visiting a porn shoot during BOOGIE NIGHTS and I cannot stop laughing.

Feeling very resentful that a bunch of people in New York got to see SPARTAN in 35mm tonight.

JAY KELLY didn't really do anything for me, but I did do the Leo pointing meme at the clips of THE PEACEMAKER in the tribute montage.

This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for Rebecca Hall

Wait, the character of Dorothy is in that second WICKED movie? Jesus Christ. You couldn't pay me all the money in the world to watch that garbage.

THE RUNNING MAN(2025):

Right issues have kept John Woo’s masterpiece out of print in America for years, but at long last it returns in a definitive release with a projection-accurate transfer and a wealth of extras. Read @jakecole.bsky.social on 1989's THE KILLER. tinyurl.com/4pjaymy3

SENTIMENTAL VALUE: I like CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA too, Joachim.

Hard to overstate how excited I am for this one

George Pickens is like James McAvoy’s character in Split and one of his personas happens to be one of the best receivers on earth
