Thank you!!!!

*taste-testing blindfolded* ME: This one must be the Diet Coke, because it's cold. The other one must be the coffee. TESTER: Correct.

attempted I Like Movies. this movie should be 20 minutes shorter and be about anyone else in the universe. sorry!

keep seeing "Ivy Wolk" invoked and have no idea who this person is. thankfully Wikipedia is very helpful on this point

every tv show looks like cosplayers on a trip to Disneyland part 278

unambitious movie! many people are saying this

Jessie Buckley being Oscar-bound 20 years after nearly winning Theatre Kid American Idol is pretty good, gotta admit it

Donald Glover is Yoshi in the Movie

“I just gotta shout out Eggies in a Basket” one of the funnier things I’ve ever said “I just gotta shout out” about on this show

this mission was designed for me, a weirdo who loves to do random bullshit in MS Paint and did this study of Mandy Indiana's debut record a few years ago for no reason except I was bored lol

We are NOT in a collateral beauty! We are in a busted-ass Toyota Carolla

good storytelling

Area man who loves exclusively, constantly hearing about actors who are only in bad movies and bring absolutely no star power to anything they do thinks the 2020s are the best decade for movies and television

Spent an uncomfortable amount of time thinking "oh no this movie is bad" only for some combination of Wachowskian romanticism, UK character acting, and an overall anti-authoritarian streak to win me over by the ecstatic final moments. V is a clown and Portman is terrible...but Stephen Rea? Hello

should I make needing to watch Mission Impossible 3, a rancid feature film I hate, worth it by watching some of Felicity and Alias, neither of which I have ever seen?

I used to think my life was a tragedy. But now I know it’s…a musical dream…

it is happening again

Happy to see Jake Gyllenhaal reuniting with his Guy Ritchie's The Covenant director Guy Ritchie for Guy Ritchie's In the Grey, where Gyllenhaal, unlike his stern Covenant performance, seems to be attempting a light and intermittent English accent and sing-song-y Stathamesque vocal rhythms.

people talking about filing taxes in March like they don't anxiously/triumphantly do it the split second after they get their W2s in January wyd

movie is such a great name for them. yeah they do

A very wealthy but ethically pure benefactor who thinks I have a good personality lets me live in his mansion in the middle of an idyllic wooded paradise doing the day job I already do but ridding me of every other responsibility so that I have more interest/energy for critical & creative pursuits?

me waiting for the right time to start recommending Cassandra's Dream to people again

Kathleen you've been ousted, you don't have to keep talking about Baby Yoda like it matters

this is the best song ever made

even Blank mf Check treats Henry Sugar as a "bonus" smgdh

How's everybody doing? Hope everyone's good. jesus what a shitshow am I right

Guys! HOLY SHIT I figured it out! FINALLY the reason Studio Ghibli food looks so good is because they have great animators working for their studio 🤯

NEW EPISODE ALERT! Filmmaker and HoFCast senior political reporter @christopherbell.bsky.social is back to talk "Bulworth"! We discuss left politics during the end of history, how austerity undermines society, Beatty's life and career, and much more! youtu.be/jNKWpGQUYUo?...

Just found this curious situation where a single story split into two films was released on the same day as One Mile: Chapter One and One Mile: Chapter Two. Presumably some financial maneuvering was the motivation here. Not totally sure. In any case...probably quite bad!

it's not about the collaterals you beauty...it's thabouit e beauties that take your collateral away

good storytelling

Jimmy Fallon: and tomorrow night we’ve got Paul Mescal, Markwayne Mullin and music from Benson Boone, should be a good one

We are NOT in a collateral beauty! We are in a busted-ass Toyota Carolla

in middle school some friends found and showed me a video on YouTube called 'Why Doesn't God Heal Amputees?" (tried to find the exact video, which I did a couple years ago, but there are a LOT of videos with this title...) That was a gateway to YouTube Atheism generally, the rest is history lol

Unbelievable episode of television

I used to think my life was a tragedy. But now I know it’s…a musical dream…

Don’t get tangled up in the internet…you might just wind up roadkill on the information superhighway. from The Computer Teacher from the Black Lagoon

“We’ll crucify the insincere tonight.” is such a volcanic thesis statement with which to start this GOAT album

y’all ever heard this? pretty good

Unwell weekend lol

This has seeped into everything they make...swaths of material about animators and money men alike anxiously sitting in their silicon valley offices trying to make movies as efficiently as possible because they can see their lives and the lives of their families and communities barreling past them.

Also worth noting that Pixar, like Disney, has in its primordial blood hatred of labor--its innovations were funded because some tech and business people were flabbergasted by how labor-intensive animation was and they aspired to bypass what made animation so time-consuming and expensive.

Survivor needs to bring back challenges where the players just beat the shit out of each other

I have some friends dipping into Survivor for the first time for season 50 and have already basically insisted that they watch Tocantins. It’s my solemn duty to show Coach, the most Falstaffian figure in reality tv history, to as many people as possible.

Obviously I am not alone in loving Benjamin Wade but I do recall his presence in the 50 cast being side-eyed by some of the more prominent Survivor fans I follow whereas to me it wouldn’t be 50 without him so feels worth giving him a shout
