I used to think my life was a tragedy, but then I realized it was a collateral beauty

“In another win for a non-franchise title”

And yet nobody showed up to BONE TEMPLE's Jimmy Saville party, typical chauvinistic Americans not wanting to know about other countries's molesters

This film deploying Bowser Jr. with the Paint Brush is fucking stolen valor from Super Mario Sunshine, which Gamers Don’t Properly Respect. Just another crime to add to the pile

Think almost weekly about the Neil Hamburger bit where he goes “I’m sure everyone here would agree with me that George Bush is the worst president of all time!!! *pause as audience applauds* Which makes it all the more surprising that HIS SON, George W. Bush, is the BEST president of all time…”

Evidence on the side of Tom Hanks being a CIA asset that he’d want to undermine his most conspiracy-addled franchise

One of my favourite insults of all time is when Tom Hanks trashed the whole series with “that was a commercial enterprise.”

I know using ableist slurs is a sign of ableist beliefs. I’m sorry that you think it’s delusional to state the obvious.

Stupid that Ron Howard and Oliver Stone each released a film in 2006 and the Ron Howard is the conspiracy-brained one

The Production section of With Honors is literally just some fucking college campus nerd going off with no sources cited

Step Up (Anne Fletcher)

Mother Mary rocks the house as expected. Never seen Hunter Schafer in anything and she absolutely annihilates the ecstatic final moments. ”Much to think about”

That movie Tuner about the piano tuner with a hearing condition who can crack safes looks sick as hell

at my local AMC and just passed a family taking pictures of their adorable child in a little Michael Jackson costume. Multi-facetedly prickly and loaded image.

Another week another album (Fugazi) for Rob to call the best album ever made lol

a world of contrasts: two separate student workers have told me today I have to watch Come and See

Thinking about Jason Lee

getting this tatted on my chest

Exceptions to this rule: - the tour de force Google Earth sequence that closes Lion - the First Reformed stuff But otherwise very true…when people make it work tho they make it REALLY work lol

Annoying to be an auteurist who does want contemporary film culture to acknowledge and highlight writers and directors while also finding it asinine that every horror director who makes more than two movies is suddenly a master of horror

From the suffocating terror of Praying with Anger to the brilliance of Wide Awake, dive into the pre-The Sixth Sense work of Master of Dread M. Night Shyamalan

I photoshopped a picture of Steve Jobs holding this book like an iPod at one of his keynotes and then forgot about it and left work so just imagine it. And then buy and read it. And most importantly watch the Danny Boyle film Steve Jobs

great thing about being in your 30s is you get to just immediately dismiss the opinions of people younger than 25 or so. i realize it’s not fair and is annoying from the other side but you kids will understand one day just how fun it is

I would like to own this poster art

a world of contrasts: two separate student workers have told me today I have to watch Come and See

Look at that, I got interviewed for a podcast! I got to talk about my origins, music, and my music coverage in Other People's Music. youtu.be/mMFJefqfTAQ

one student worker just told the other she's gotta watch the Lasse Halstrom film Hachi: A Dog's Tale

I take it back, I don't want the bad

I manifested the most recent episode of Survivor

I rewatched danny boyle's steve jobs last night and it's looking very likely that I'll rewatch danny boyle's steve jobs again tonight. because what they don't want you to know is that danny boyle's steve jobs is a very, very good film

new Foo Fighters album release day means Rob pen-sketched Foo Fighters fighter meme rerelease day

It's as if art and nature aren't two wholly separate domains, but rather are different iterations of the same cosmic processes.

the fandom is little children who don't post about Mr. Beast on platforms visible to normal adult human beings

I was cookin with this one

bro no. BRO. NOOOOO don't do it noooooo bro BRO

I guess as far as I can tell I started using letterboxd in 2017 when I saw the Oscar nominated animated shorts of that year and logged them all. Eventually went back and added viewings from 2015 and 2016, and that's as far back as my "records" go overall now that the boards I frequented are defunct.

currently seeking angel investors for my early-stage start-up focused on creating tech that gives whales and elephants the opportunity to work together

It isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but I’ve been saying for a decade: On Cinema At The Cinema is an incredibly rich cultural “key” to understanding the nightmare we’re trapped in, and it keeps getting more and more prophetic (and IMO funnier and funnier). A monumental work that will be studied for years

Like this post? Well let me tell you something really neat...you can see it ad-free and with additional words at a little website called Nebula. No need for me to give you the spiel...you know Nebula. And you can see this post, plus all my other cool stuff there, for only $2 a month with my promo co

i don’t have any real feelings on shoplifting as a practice but i don’t think i’ve ever heard anyone argue that shoplifting is actually woke without sounding really annoying in the process

wrote the DC for Vespertine but Stillmatic is pretty good, been a while since I did a dive on Nas and obviously nothing in the decade or so run after Illmatic touched his debut but there's still really good shit in there. Anyway vote Bjork

Anyway here are six shelves of films no one has ever heard of with titles that sound like you found them in a garbage bag in the woods in the 1990s and the little lady from truck mudflaps on the spine, these are my treasured possessions and each cost me $59.99

On episode 2, JD Vance is a Grinchgoth who requires the assistance of the mods in his ongoing flame war against the pope. Episode 3 featuring inaugural guest @mauraquint.bsky.social coming next week.

I’m being told that my post that says “lol” might not be wholly accurate
